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 the time I told you, "I can't do this, can't carry you all by myself.
10 God, your God, has multiplied your numbers. Why, look at you - you rival the stars in the sky!
11 And may God, the God-of-Your-Fathers, keep it up and multiply you another thousand times, bless you just as he promised.
12 But how can I carry, all by myself, your troubles and burdens and quarrels?
13 So select some wise, understanding, and seasoned men from your tribes, and I will commission them as your leaders."
