1938. Verse 10 And the angel of Jehovah said to her, I will multiply your seed greatly and it will not be numbered for multitude.

'The angel of Jehovah said' means the interior man's thought. 'I will multiply your seed greatly' means the fruitfulness of the rational man when it submits itself to the controlling power of intellectual truth allied to good. 'And it will not be numbered for multitude' means being multiplied immeasurably.
