The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children - (Deuteronomy 1:11.) The Hebrew is literally, 'The Lord shall add upon you, upon you and upon your children.' There is an allusion to the name Joseph, the same Hebrew, Genesis 30:24, "she called his name Joseph (i:e., adding), and said, the Lord shall add to me another son." To this Joab alludes, 2 Samuel 24:3 (Isaiah 26:15). The words, "you and your children," imply that the increase was to begin at that time, just after the return from Babylon; but that the full increase is reserved for the days of Israel's final glory with Messiah (Isaiah 66:7-13).
