Hebrews 6:15-17
EasyEnglish Bible
15 Abraham waited patiently for a long time. In the end, he received what God had promised to give him.[a]
16 When someone makes a strong promise, he uses the authority of a person who is greater than himself. This shows that he will certainly obey his promise. Then nobody can argue about it. 17 God wanted to show very clearly that he would never change his purpose. He wanted his people to know that he would certainly bless them. So when he made this promise, he also used his own name to make it strong.

- 6:15 Abraham and his wife wanted a son. But they could not have a child, and they were becoming very old. Then God promised to give Abraham a son, and many grandchildren. See Genesis 12:2; 13:16; 15:4. Even though it was difficult to believe that he would have children, Abraham believed what God said.
