⁵ And he brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and ^(A)number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, ^(B)“So shall your offspring be.”

¹⁷ I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring ^(A)as the stars of heaven and ^(B)as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess ^(C)the gate of his^[a] enemies,

^4 (A)I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and will give to your offspring all these lands. And ^(B)in your offspring all the nations of the earth shall be blessed,

¹⁴ Your offspring shall be like ^(A)the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south, and in you and ^(B)your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

¹³ Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you ^(A)swore by your own self, and said to them, ^(B)‘I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.’”
