Deuteronomy 1:11

11 And may the LORD, the God of your ancestors, multiply you a thousand times more and bless you as he promised!

Deuteronomy 1:11 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 1:11

The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many
more as ye are
This prayer he made, or this blessing he pronounced on them, to show that he did not envy their increase, nor was any ways uneasy at it, but rejoiced in it, though he gave it as a reason of his not being able to govern them alone:

and bless you, as he hath promised you:
with all kind of blessings, as he had often promised their fathers.

Deuteronomy 1:11 In-Context

9 Moses continued, “At that time I told you, ‘You are too great a burden for me to carry all by myself.
10 The LORD your God has increased your population, making you as numerous as the stars!
11 And may the LORD, the God of your ancestors, multiply you a thousand times more and bless you as he promised!
12 But you are such a heavy load to carry! How can I deal with all your problems and bickering?
13 Choose some well-respected men from each tribe who are known for their wisdom and understanding, and I will appoint them as your leaders.’
