Hebrews 6:14-16
Easy-to-Read Version
14 He said, “I will surely bless you. I will give you many descendants.”[a] 15 Abraham waited patiently for this to happen, and later he received what God promised.
16 People always use the name of someone greater than themselves to make a promise with an oath. The oath proves that what they say is true, and there is no more arguing about it.
