And the angel of Jehovah said unto her, I will greatly multiply thy seed, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore. And thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies.
And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. And in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Who can count the dust of Jacob, Or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, And let my last end be like his!
wherefore also there sprang of one, and him as good as dead, (so many) as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand, which is by the sea-shore, innumerable.
