Commentary

And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven,.... Meaning in the line of Jacob especia lly, if not only; from whom sprung twelve patriarchs, the heads of so many tribes, which in process of time became very numerous, even as the stars of heaven: and I will give unto thy seed all these countries; which is repeated from Gen 26:3 for the greater confirmation of it: and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; meaning in the Messiah that should spring from him, see Gen 22:18 .
