Exodus 1:7
Read Exodus 1:7 Using Other Translations
What does Exodus 1:7 mean?
And the children of Israel were fruitful
In their offspring; became like fruitful trees, as the word
signifies:
and increased abundantly;
like creeping things, or rather like fishes, which increase very
much, see ( Genesis 1:20
)
and multiplied;
became very numerous, whereby the promises made to Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob, were fulfilled:
and waxed exceeding mighty;
were hale, and strong, of good constitutions, able bodied men,
and so more dreaded by the Egyptians: a heap of words is here
used to express the vast increase of the people of Israel in
Egypt:
and the land was filled with them;
not the whole land of Egypt, but the land of Goshen: at first
they were seated in a village in that country, but now they were
spread throughout the towns and cities in it.
