¹⁰ The Lord your God has increased your population, making you as numerous as the stars!

¹³ Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.^[a] You bound yourself with an oath to them, saying, ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven. And I will give them all of this land that I have promised to your descendants, and they will possess it forever.’”

⁴ He said to me, ‘I will make you fruitful, and I will multiply your descendants. I will make you a multitude of nations. And I will give this land of Canaan to your descendants^[a] after you as an everlasting possession.’

² I will make a covenant with you, by which I will guarantee to give you countless descendants.”
