Deuteronomy 1:11

11 May the Lord, the God of your ancestors, increase you a thousand times more and bless you, as he has promised you!

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 At that time I said to you, "I am unable by myself to bear you.
10 The Lord your God has multiplied you, so that today you are as numerous as the stars of heaven.
11 May the Lord, the God of your ancestors, increase you a thousand times more and bless you, as he has promised you!
12 But how can I bear the heavy burden of your disputes all by myself?
13 Choose for each of your tribes individuals who are wise, discerning, and reputable to be your leaders."
