'Multiply' in the Bible
Come, let's deal wisely with them. Otherwise they will continue to multiply, and if a war breaks out, they will ally themselves with our enemies and fight against us and leave the country."
But I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and although I will multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt,
I will not drive them out before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the wild animals multiply against you.
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel your servants, to whom you swore by yourself and told them, 'I will multiply your descendants like the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken about I will give to your descendants, and they will inherit it forever.'"
