The Multiple Promises to Abraham
God's promises to Abraham in Genesis 12, 15, 22, and 26 consist of both quantitative and qualitative elements. The quantitative aspect involves a vast multitude of descendants, as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Nations are foretold to descend from him, blessing all the families of the earth. The qualitative aspect signifies the unique nature of his descendants, likened to the stars in quality, not merely quantity, and symbolizing a divine connection beyond mere numbers.
