1609. Verse 16 And I will make your seed as the dust of the earth, so that if anyone can number the dust of the earth, so also will your seed be numbered.

'I will make your seed as the dust of the earth' means being multiplied beyond measure. 'That if anyone can number the dust of the earth, so also will your seed be numbered' means an absolute assurance.
