## Translation Notes: ##

* __the promises … were passed on__ - The promises of the covenant that God made with Abraham were not for him only, but also for his descendants.
* __countless__ - This could also be translated as, "very many." The word "countless" means there would be so many descendants that people would not be able to count them.
