As for Ishmael, I have heard you. I will certainly bless him; I will make him fruitful and will multiply him greatly. He will father 12 tribal leaders, and I will make him into a great nation.

He said to me, ‘I will make you fruitful and numerous; I will make many nations come from you, and I will give this land as an eternal possession to your future descendants.’

I will make you into a great nation,
I will bless you,
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.

I will make you extremely fruitful and will make nations and kings come from you.
