Deuteronomy 1:10
1:10 The
Lord your God has increased your population
to the point that you are now as numerous as the very stars of the sky.
Psalms 147:4
147:4 He counts the number of the stars;
he names all of them.
Jeremiah 33:22
33:22 I will make the children who follow one another in the line of my servant David very numerous. I will also make the Levites who minister before me very numerous. I will make them all as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sands which are on the seashore.’”
Romans 9:7-8
9:7 nor are all the children Abraham’s true descendants; rather “
through Isaac will your descendants be counted.”
9:8 This means
it is not the children of the flesh
who are the children of God; rather, the children of promise are counted as descendants.
