sand

¹⁷I will bless you, and I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gates of their enemies.

¹²You did say that you would do well by me, and that you would expand my offspring like the sand of the sea, which, because of its multitude, cannot be numbered.”

⁴And they all went forth with their troops, a people exceedingly numerous, like the sand that is on the shore of the sea. And their horses and chariots were an immense multitude.

⁸And they climbed across the breadth of the earth, and they encompassed the camp of the Saints and the Beloved City.

²⁰Judah and Israel were innumerable, like the sand of the sea in multitude: eating and drinking, and rejoicing.

¹²Because of this, there were also born, from one who himself was as if dead, a multitude like the stars of heaven, who are, like the sand of the seashore, innumerable.

²²Just as the stars of heaven are not able to be numbered, and the sand of the sea is not able to be measured, so will I multiply the offspring of David, my servant, and the Levites, my ministers.”

²⁷And he rained down flesh upon them, as if it were dust, and feathered birds, as if they were the sand of the sea.

¹⁷But to me, O God, your friends have been greatly honored. Their first ruler has been exceedingly strengthened. ¹⁸I will number them, and they will be more numerous than the sand. I rose up, and I am still with you.

²⁶And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them shall be like a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand.

¹⁰And the number of the sons of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which is without measure and cannot be numbered. And in the place where it will be said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ this will happen: it will be said to them, ‘You are the sons of the living God.’

⁹They will all approach towards the prey; their face is like a burning wind. And they will gather captives together like sand.

²⁷And Isaiah cried out on behalf of Israel: “When the number of the sons of Israel is like the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.

²²For though your people, O Israel, will be like the sand of the sea, yet only a remnant of them will be converted. The consummation, having been shortened, will be inundated with justice.

¹¹But this seems to me to be the right counsel: Let all of Israel be gathered to you, from Dan to Beersheba, like the sand of the sea which is innumerable. And you will be in their midst.

⁵And the Philistines gathered to do battle against Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and the remainder of the common people, who were very many, like the sand that is on the shore of the sea. And ascending, they encamped at Michmash, toward the east of Bethaven.

²²So then, will you not fear me, says the Lord. And will you not have sorrow before my face? I have placed the shore as a limit for the sea, as an everlasting precept that it will not transgress. And its waves will crash, but they will not prevail; and its waves will swell, but they will not go across.

³A stone is weighty, and sand is burdensome; but the wrath of the foolish is heavier than both.

¹⁹and your offspring would have been like the sand, and the stock from your loins would have been like its stones. His name would not have passed away, nor would it have been worn away before my face.
