The lord

Be strong, and let us show ourselves courageous for the sake of our people and for the cities of our God; and may the Lord do what is good in His sight.”

May the Lord

give you increase,

You and your children.

In a multitude of people is a king’s glory,
But in the dearth of people is a prince’s ruin.

You have increased the nation, O Lord,

You have increased the nation, You are glorified;
You have extended all the borders of the land.

“Your

descendants would have been like the sand,

And your offspring like its grains;

Their name would never be cut off or destroyed from My presence.”

Why will

Then Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, “What have you done to us? And how have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me things that ought not to be done.”

Then Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do to you, that you have brought such great sin upon them?”

For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the sons of Israel so that they did not go into the land which the Lord had given them.

No, my sons; for the report is not good which I hear the Lord’s people circulating.

He will give up Israel on account of the sins of Jeroboam, which he committed and with which he made Israel to sin.”
