# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Yahweh continues speaking to Isaac.
|
|
|
|
# I will multiply your descendants
|
|
|
|
"I will cause you to have very many descendants."
|
|
|
|
# like the stars of heaven
|
|
|
|
This speaks about the number of Isaac's descendants as if they were the same as the number of stars. See how you translated this in [Genesis 22:17](../22/17.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])
|
|
|
|
# heaven
|
|
|
|
This refers to everything we see above the earth, including the sun, moon, and stars.
|
|
|
|
# all the nations of the earth will be blessed
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "I will bless all the nations of the earth" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
