God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”

God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
-
Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.

Then God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
-
He also said, “Blessed be the Lord, The God of Shem; And may Canaan be his servant.
-
And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
-
And he blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth;
-
And blessed be God Most High, Who has handed over your enemies to you.” And he gave him a tenth of everything.

since Abraham will certainly become a great and mighty nation, and in him all the nations of the earth will be blessed?
-
And in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”

A Bride for Isaac
Now Abraham was old, advanced in age; and the Lord had blessed Abraham in every way.
-
And he said, “Blessed be the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has not abandoned His kindness and His trustworthiness toward my master; as for me, the Lord has guided me in the way to the house of my master’s brothers.”
-
And he said, “Come in, blessed of the Lord! Why do you stand outside, since I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels?”
-
The Lord has greatly blessed my master, so that he has become rich; and He has given him flocks and herds, and silver and gold, and servants and slave women, and camels and donkeys.
-
And I bowed low and worshiped the Lord, and blessed the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who had guided me in the right way to take the daughter of my master’s brother for his son.
-
And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, “May you, our sister, Become thousands of ten thousands, And may your descendants possess The gate of those who hate them.”

-
I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven, and will give your descendants all these lands; and by your descendants all the nations of the earth shall be blessed,
-
Now Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundred times as much. And the Lord blessed him,
-
that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you and have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace. You are now the blessed of the Lord.”
-
And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau’s hands; so he blessed him.
-
So he came close and kissed him; and when he smelled the smell of his garments, he blessed him and said, “See, the smell of my son Is like the smell of a field which the Lord has blessed;
-
May peoples serve you, And nations bow down to you; Be master of your brothers, And may your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be those who curse you, And blessed be those who bless you.”
-
Then Isaac trembled violently, and said, “Who then was he who hunted game and brought it to me, so that I ate from all of it before you came, and blessed him? Yes, and he shall be blessed.”
