NASB | Exodus 32:13 "Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants to whom You swore by Yourself, and said to them, 'I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and all this land of which I have spoken I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.'" |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Exodus 32:13 "Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel (Jacob), Your servants to whom You swore [an oath] by Yourself, and said to them, 'I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and all this land of which I have spoken I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.'" |
Subject: Is this heresy? |
Bible Note: I wasn't sure what he was getting at, but I think it was that there are more stars than there are descendents of Abraham. If that's his question, whether or not this verse is actually true, then I have the answer. It's true, but I think that it might be interpreted best, when in light of other scripture. God made the promise in Gen. 13:16, and when he said that Abraham's descendents would be like the stars, he meant that the difficulty in numbering them, not that they would be the same number. The amplified says in Gen. 28:14 that they would be as countless as the stars. I hope this helps! Ryan |
