Alternate translation: "May God bless you and your descendants as he blessed Abraham" or "May God give to you and your descendants what he promised to Abraham" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns]])
"May God bless you and your descendants as he blessed Abraham" or "May God give to you and your descendants what he promised to Abraham"
