“(The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)”
May the LORD, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are and bless you as he has promised! -- Moses' prayer is not selfish but vicarious: he intercedes for the nation's continued multiplication. The phrase 'as he has promised' anchors the blessing in God's covenantal word. Here Moses acts as mediator, calling down the patriarchal blessing upon the wilderness generation.
