2847. 'I will certainly multiply' means derivations of truth from this affection. This is clear from the use of 'being multiplied' as having reference to truth, here therefore as derivations of truth from that affection, as stated immediately above. As regards 'being fruitful' having reference to good and 'being multiplied' to truth, see 43, 55, 913, 983.
