So that they are multiplied greatly -This was regarded as one of the highest blessings which God could confer, and hence, it was so often promised by him to the patriarchs, as a proof of his favor, that their seed should be as the stars of heaven, and as the sand upon the sea-shore.Genesis 13:16;Genesis 22:17;Genesis 26:4;Genesis 32:12.
