A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
I will there make of thee a great nation--How truly this promise was fulfilled, appears in the fact that the seventy souls who went down into Egypt increased [Exo 1:5-7], in the space of two hundred fifteen years, to one hundred eighty thousand.

5 And all the souls [05315] that came out [03318] of the loins [03409] of Jacob [03290] were seventy [07657] souls [05315]: for Joseph [03130] was in Egypt [04714] already.
6 And Joseph [03130] died [04191], and all his brethren [0251], and all that generation [01755].
7 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] were fruitful [06509], and increased abundantly [08317], and multiplied [07235], and waxed exceeding [03966] [03966] mighty [06105]; and the land [0776] was filled [04390] with them.
19 And when we departed [05265] from Horeb [02722], we went through [03212] all that great [01419] and terrible [03372] wilderness [04057], which ye saw [07200] by the way [01870] of the mountain [02022] of the Amorites [0567], as the LORD [03068] our God [0430] commanded [06680] us; and we came [0935] to Kadeshbarnea [06947].
20 And I said [0559] unto you, Ye are come [0935] unto the mountain [02022] of the Amorites [0567], which the LORD [03068] our God [0430] doth give [05414] unto us.
21 Behold [07200], the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath set [05414] the land [0776] before [06440] thee: go up [05927] and possess [03423] it, as the LORD [03068] God [0430] of thy fathers [01] hath said [01696] unto thee; fear [03372] not, neither be discouraged [02865].
22 And ye came near [07126] unto me every one of you, and said [0559], We will send [07971] men [0582] before [06440] us, and they shall search us out [02658] the land [0776], and bring [07725] us word [01697] again [07725] by what way [01870] we must go up [05927], and into what cities [05892] we shall come [0935].
7 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Samuel [08050], Hearken [08085] unto the voice [06963] of the people [05971] in all that they say [0559] unto thee: for they have not rejected [03988] thee, but they have rejected [03988] me, that I should not reign [04427] over them.
8 According to all the works [04639] which they have done [06213] since the day [03117] that I brought them up [05927] out of Egypt [04714] even unto this day [03117], wherewith they have forsaken [05800] me, and served [05647] other [0312] gods [0430], so do [06213] they also unto thee.
9 Now therefore hearken [08085] unto their voice [06963]: howbeit [0389] yet protest [05749] solemnly [05749] unto them, and shew [05046] them the manner [04941] of the king [04428] that shall reign [04427] over them.
3 And he said [0559], I am God [0410], the God [0430] of thy father [01]: fear [03372] not to go down [03381] into Egypt [04714]; for I will there make [07760] of thee a great [01419] nation [01471]:
1 And there was a famine [07458] in the land [0776], beside [0905] the first [07223] famine [07458] that was in the days [03117] of Abraham [085]. And Isaac [03327] went [03212] unto Abimelech [040] king [04428] of the Philistines [06430] unto Gerar [01642].
2 And the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] unto him, and said [0559], Go not down [03381] into Egypt [04714]; dwell [07931] in the land [0776] which I shall tell [0559] thee of:
3 Sojourn [01481] in this land [0776], and I will be with thee, and will bless [01288] thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed [02233], I will give [05414] all these [0411] countries [0776], and I will perform [06965] the oath [07621] which I sware [07650] unto Abraham [085] thy father [01];
4 And I will make [07235] thy seed [02233] to multiply [07235] as the stars [03556] of heaven [08064], and will give [05414] unto thy seed [02233] all these [0411] countries [0776]; and in thy seed [02233] shall all the nations [01471] of the earth [0776] be blessed [01288];
5 Because [06118] that Abraham [085] obeyed [08085] my voice [06963], and kept [08104] my charge [04931], my commandments [04687], my statutes [02708], and my laws [08451].
14 And also that nation [01471], whom they shall serve [05647], will I judge [01777]: and afterward [0310] [03651] shall they come out [03318] with great [01419] substance [07399].
13 And he said [0559] unto Abram [087], Know [03045] of a surety [03045] that thy seed [02233] shall be a stranger [01616] in a land [0776] that is not theirs, and shall serve [05647] them; and they shall afflict [06031] them four [0702] hundred [03967] years [08141];
1 And there was a famine [07458] in the land [0776], beside [0905] the first [07223] famine [07458] that was in the days [03117] of Abraham [085]. And Isaac [03327] went [03212] unto Abimelech [040] king [04428] of the Philistines [06430] unto Gerar [01642].
2 And the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] unto him, and said [0559], Go not down [03381] into Egypt [04714]; dwell [07931] in the land [0776] which I shall tell [0559] thee of:
3 Sojourn [01481] in this land [0776], and I will be with thee, and will bless [01288] thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed [02233], I will give [05414] all these [0411] countries [0776], and I will perform [06965] the oath [07621] which I sware [07650] unto Abraham [085] thy father [01];
