And Joab H3097 said H559 to the king, H4428 Now the LORD H3068 your God H430 add H3254 to the people, H5971 how many soever they be, an hundred times, H3967 H6471 and that the eyes H5869 of my lord H113 the king H4428 may see H7200 it: but why H4100 does my lord H113 the king H4428 delight H2654 in this H2088 thing? H1697

And Joab H3097 answered, H559 The LORD H3068 make his people H5971 an hundred H3967 times H6471 so H1992 many more H3254 as they be: but, my lord H113 the king, H4428 are they not all H3605 my lord's H113 servants? H5650 why H4100 then does my lord H113 require H1245 this H2063 thing? why will he be a cause of trespass H819 to Israel? H3478

The LORD H3068 shall increase H3254 you more and more, you and your children. H1121

And he brought H3318 him forth H3318 abroad, H2351 and said, H559 Look H5027 now H4994 toward heaven, H8064 and tell H5608 the stars, H3556 if H518 you be able H3201 to number H5608 them: and he said H559 to him, So H3541 shall your seed H2233 be.

That in blessing H1288 I will bless H1288 you, and in multiplying H7235 I will multiply H7235 your seed H2233 as the stars H3556 of the heaven, H8064 and as the sand H2344 which H834 is on the sea H3220 shore; H8193 and your seed H2233 shall possess H3423 the gate H8179 of his enemies; H341

And I will make your seed H2233 to multiply H7235 as the stars H3556 of heaven, H8064 and will give H5414 to your seed H2233 all H3605 these H411 countries; H776 and in your seed H2233 shall all H3605 the nations H1471 of the earth H776 be blessed; H1288

Even by the God H410 of your father, H1 who shall help H5826 you; and by the Almighty, H7706 who shall bless H1288 you with blessings H1293 of heaven H8064 above, H5921 blessings H1293 of the deep H8415 that lies H7257 under, H8478 blessings H1293 of the breasts, H7699 and of the womb: H7356

Remember H2142 Abraham, H85 Isaac, H3327 and Israel, H3478 your servants, H5650 to whom H834 you swore H7650 by your own self, and said H1696 to them, I will multiply H7235 your seed H2233 as the stars H3556 of heaven, H8064 and all H3605 this H2063 land H776 that I have spoken H559 of will I give H5414 to your seed, H2233 and they shall inherit H5157 it for ever. H5769

And they shall put H7760 my name H8034 on the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 and I will bless H1288 them.

And God H430 said H559 to Balaam, H1109 You shall not go H3212 with them; you shall not curse H779 the people: H5971 for they are blessed. H1288
