He brought him outside and said, Look now at the heavens and count the stars, if you are able to count them. And He said to him, So shall your seed be.
that blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the lip of the sea. And your Seed shall possess the gate of His enemies.
And your seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and you shall spread to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and all the families of the earth shall be blessed in you and in your Seed.
and your seed would have been like the sand, and your offspring of your bowels like its grain; his name would not have been cut off and not destroyed his name from My presence.
And out of them shall go forth thanksgiving and the voice of those who are merry. And I will multiply them, and they shall not be few. I also will honor them, and they shall not be small.
So says Jehovah, If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth below can be searched out, I will also reject all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, a statement of Jehovah.

But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept the charge of My sanctuary in the wandering of the sons of Israel away from Me, they shall come near to Me to minister to Me. And they shall stand before Me to bring near to Me the fat and the blood, a statement of the Lord Jehovah.
Yet the number of the sons of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which is not measured nor numbered. And it shall be, in the place where it is said to them, You are Not My People, it shall be said to them, Sons of the Living God.
In that day Jehovah shall defend around those living in Jerusalem. And it will be, he being feeble among them in that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the Angel of Jehovah before them.
and said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem will dwell like unwalled villages, for the multitude of men and livestock in her midst.
Therefore, even from one were generated seed, and these of one being as good as dead, even “as the stars of the heaven” in their fullness, and countless as sand by the lip of the sea”. Gen. 15:5; 22:17
