I will greatly multiply your descendants," the Lord's angel added, "so that they will be too numerous to count."

I will multiply your descendants so they will be as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give them all these lands. All the nations of the earth will pronounce blessings on one another using the name of your descendants.

But you said, 'I will certainly make you prosper and will make your descendants like the sand on the seashore, too numerous to count.'"
