וּבֵרַכְתִּ֣י אֹתָ֔הּ וְגַ֨ם נָתַ֧תִּי מִמֶּ֛נָּה לְךָ֖ בֵּ֑ן וּבֵֽרַכְתִּ֙יהָ֙ וְהָֽיְתָ֣ה לְגוֹיִ֔ם מַלְכֵ֥י עַמִּ֖ים מִמֶּ֥נָּה יִהְיֽוּ׃
Aku akan memberkati dia, dan Aku juga akan memberimu seorang anak laki-laki dari dia. Aku akan memberkati dia sehingga ia menjadi bangsa-bangsa; raja-raja bangsa-bangsa akan lahir dari dia.”
Rosh Hashanah
And Rabbi Isaac said [further]: Four things cancel the decree against a person, and they are: charity, crying out [in prayer], changing one's name, and changing one's conduct. Charity (tzedaka), as it is written, "and righteousness (tzedaka) saves from death," (Proverbs 10:2). Crying out, as it is written, "they cried out to the LORD in their suffering, and God took them from their distress," (Psalms 107:28). Change of name, as it is written, "as for your wife Sarai, do not call her by the name Sarai, for Sarah is her name" and continues, "I will bless her and further I will give you a son from her" (Genesis 17:15-16). Change of conduct, as it is written, "And God saw their conduct [as they turned from their evil ways]," and continues, "and God renounced the punishment that had been pronounced upon them and did not carry it out" (Jonah 3:10).
