15 And Jehovah’s angel called to Abraham a second time from the heavens,

17 I will surely bless you and I will surely multiply your offspring* like the stars of the heavens and like the grains of sand on the seashore,+ and your offspring* will take possession of the gate* of his enemies.+

22 Just as the army of the heavens cannot be counted and the sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the offspring* of my servant David and the Levites who are ministering to me.’”

10 “And the number of the people* of Israel will be like the grains of sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered.+ And in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’+ it will be said to them, ‘The sons of the living God.’+
