Genesis 13:16

Genesis 13:16

14 And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot ^ahad separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are—^bnorthward, southward, eastward, and westward;

15 for all the land which you see ^aI give to you and ^byour descendants forever.

16 And ^aI will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered.

17 Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.”

18 ^aThen Abram moved his tent, and went and ^bdwelt by the terebinth trees of Mamre, ^cwhich are in Hebron, and built an ^daltar there to the Lord.

Genesis 13:17 >>

I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth - That is, they shall increase incredibly, and take them altogether; they shall be such a great multitude as no man can number. They were so in Solomon's time, I Kings 4:20. Judah and Israel were many as the land which is by the sea in multitude. This God here gives him the promise of.
