Deuteronomy 1:9-12

1:9

able <03201> [I am not.]

1:10

God <0430> [your God.]

population ..... that <03117> [ye are this day.]

This was the promise made by God to Abraham, (Ge 15:5, 6,) which Moses considers now as amply fulfilled. Many suppose the expression to be hyperbolical; and others, no friends to revelation, think it a vain, empty boast, because the stars, in their apprehension, amount to innumerable millions. But, as this refers to the number of stars that appear to the naked eye, which only amount to about 3,010 in both hemispheres, the number of the Israelites far exceeded this; for independently of women and children, at the last census, they amounted to more than 600,000.

1:11

thousand <0505> [make you.]

blessing ...... said <01288 01696> [and bless you.]

1:12
