And being not weak G770 in faith, G4102 he considered G2657 not his own G1438 body G4983 now G2236 dead, G3499 when he was about G4225 an hundred G1541 years G1541 old, G1541 neither yet the deadness G3500 of Sarah's G4564 womb: G3388

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

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

The LORD H3068 your God H430 has multiplied H7235 you, and, behold, H2009 you are this day H3117 as the stars H3556 of heaven H8064 for multitude. H7230

And you shall be left H7604 few H4592 in number, whereas H834 you were as the stars H3556 of heaven H8064 for multitude; H7230 because H3588 you would not obey H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 your God. H430

But David H1732 took H5375 not the number H4557 of them from twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 and under: H4295 because H3588 the LORD H3068 had said H559 he would increase H7235 Israel H3478 like to the stars H3556 of the heavens. H8064

Their children H1121 also multiplied H7235 you as the stars H3556 of heaven, H8064 and brought H935 them into H413 the land, H776 concerning which H834 you had promised H559 to their fathers, H1 that they should go H935 in to possess H3423 it.

(As it is written, G1125 I have made G5087 you a father G3962 of many G4183 nations, G1484 ) before G2713 him whom G3739 he believed, G4100 even God, G2316 who G3588 vivifies G2227 the dead, G3498 and calls G2564 those G3588 things which be not as though they were.

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 you said, H559 I will surely do you good, H3190 and make H7760 your seed H2233 as the sand H2344 of the sea, H3220 which H834 cannot H3808 be numbered H5608 for multitude. H7230

And they went H3318 out, they and all H3605 their hosts H4264 with them, much H7227 people, H5971 even as the sand H2344 that is on the sea H3220 shore H8193 in multitude, H7230 with horses H5483 and chariots H7393 very H3966 many. H7227

And the Midianites H4080 and the Amalekites H6003 and all H3605 the children H1121 of the east H6924 lay H5307 along in the valley H6010 like grasshoppers H697 for multitude; H7230 and their camels H1581 were without H369 number, H4557 as the sand H2344 by the sea H3220 side H8193 for multitude. H7230

And he said H559 to them, The LORD H3068 is witness H5707 against you, and his anointed H4899 is witness H5707 this H2088 day, H3117 that you have not found H4672 ought H3972 in my hand. H3027 And they answered, H559 He is witness. H5707

Therefore I counsel H3289 that all H3605 Israel H3478 be generally H3831 gathered H622 to you, from Dan H1835 even to Beersheba, H884 as the sand H2344 that is by the sea H3220 for multitude; H7230 and that you go H1980 to battle H7128 in your own person. H6440

Judah H3063 and Israel H3478 were many, H7227 as the sand H2344 which H834 is by the sea H3220 in multitude, H7230 eating H398 and drinking, H8354 and making merry. H8056

For though H518 your people H5971 Israel H3478 be as the sand H2344 of the sea, H3220 yet a remnant H7605 of them shall return: H7725 the consumption H3631 decreed H2782 shall overflow H7857 with righteousness. H6666

Your seed H2233 also had been H1961 as the sand, H2344 and the offspring H6631 of your bowels H4578 like the gravel H4579 thereof; his name H8034 should not have been cut H3772 off nor H3808 destroyed H8045 from before H6440 me.

As the host H6635 of heaven H8064 cannot H3808 be numbered, H5608 neither H3808 the sand H2344 of the sea H3220 measured: H4058 so H3651 will I multiply H7235 the seed H2233 of David H1732 my servant, H5650 and the Levites H3881 that minister H8334 to me.

Yet the number H4557 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 shall be as the sand H2344 of the sea, H3220 which H834 cannot H3808 be measured H4058 nor H3808 numbered; H5608 and it shall come H1961 to pass, that in the place H4725 where H834 it was said H559 to them, You are not my people, H5971 there it shall be said H559 to them, You are the sons H1121 of the living H2416 God. H410

They shall come H935 all H3605 for violence: H2555 their faces H6440 shall sup H4041 up as the east H6921 wind, and they shall gather H622 the captivity H7628 as the sand. H2344

Who G3739 against G3844 hope G1680 believed G4100 in hope, G1680 that he might become G1096 the father G3962 of many G4183 nations, G1484 according G2596 to that which was spoken, G2046 So G3779 shall your seed G4690 be.

Esaias G2268 also G1161 cries G2896 concerning G5228 Israel, G2474 Though G1437 the number G706 of the children G5207 of Israel G2474 be as the sand G285 of the sea, G2281 a remnant G2640 shall be saved: G4982

And shall go G1831 out to deceive G4105 the nations G1484 which G3588 are in the four G5064 quarters G1137 of the earth, G1093 Gog, G1136 and Magog, G3098 to gather G4863 them together G4863 to battle: G4171 the number G706 of whom G3739 is as the sand G285 of the sea. G2281
