ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude - This was neither an Oriental hyperbole nor a mere empty boast. Abraham was told (Gen 15:5, Gen 15:6) to look to the stars, and though they “appear” innumerable, yet those seen by the naked eye amount, in reality, to no more than three thousand ten in both hemispheres. The Israelites already far exceeded that number, being at the last census above six hundred thousand [Num 26:51]. It was a seasonable memento, calculated to animate their faith in the accomplishment of other parts of the divine promise.
