2226. Verse 18 And Abraham will certainly become a great and numerous nation, and in him all the nations of the earth will be blessed.

'Abraham will certainly become a great and numerous nation' means that from the Lord will come all good, and from this all truth. 'And in him all the nations of the earth will be blessed' means that from Him all who have charity will be saved.
