What the Bible says about Dust, Sand, and Stars as Metaphors
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Genesis 22:17
He adds to the dust mentioned in Genesis 13:16: sand and stars, which are considered to be countless. We see here strength, power, greatness in number. And not only that, those who come from Abraham are going to sit in strategic locations like doors and gates, letting people in and out.
