¹⁶ And ^(A)I 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 blessing I will ^(A)bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants ^(B)as the stars of the heaven ^(C)and as the sand which is on the seashore; and ^(D)your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies.

¹⁴ Also your ^(A)descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad ^(B)to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and ^(C)in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

⁹ Now, O Lord God, let Your promise to David my father be established, ^(A)for You have made me king over a people like the ^(B)dust of the earth in multitude.
