See, all the land is before you: go in and take for yourselves the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their seed after them.

10

The Lord your God has given you increase, and now you are like the stars of heaven in number.

May the Lord, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times greater in number than you are, and give you his blessing as he has said!
