11 May the LORD God of your ancestors make you a thousand times more numerous, and may he bless you as he has 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 At that time I said to you, "I'm not able to take care of you by myself.
10 The LORD your God has made your population increase so that you are now as numerous as the stars in the sky.
11 May the LORD God of your ancestors make you a thousand times more numerous, and may he bless you as he has promised.
12 How can I take care of your problems, your troubles, and your disagreements all by myself?
13 From each of your tribes, choose some men who are wise, intelligent, and experienced, and I'll appoint them to be your leaders."
