(And thou multipliedest their sons, so that they be in number like the stars of the heavens/like the stars in the sky; and thou broughtest them to the land, of which thou saidest to their fathers, that they should enter, and take possession of it.)

And they ate, and were fulfilled, and made fat, and had plenty of riches by thy great goodness.)
