NASB | Genesis 15:5 And He took him outside and said, "Now look toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them." And He said to him, "So shall your descendants be." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 15:5 And the LORD brought Abram outside [his tent into the night] and said, "Look now toward the heavens and count the stars--if you are able to count them." Then He said to him, "So [numerous] shall your descendants be." [Heb 11:12] |
Bible Question (short): Jewish population, why so small? |
Question (full): God promised Abraham that his descendants would be as the stars, so numerous that they cannot be counted. The Jewish world population is less than 15 million. This is much less than the populations of many other peoples. How can this prophesy be reconciled? Yours in Christ, Jim Estes |
