'Increased' in the Bible

but the Israelites were prolific and increased greatly; they multiplied and became extremely strong, so that the land was filled with them.

So they set taskmasters over them to oppress them with hard labor. And the sons of Israel built Pithom and Raamses as storage cities for Pharaoh.

I will drive them out before you little by little, until you have increased and are strong enough to take possession of the land.
