The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy. The progressive description — rich, then grew, then very wealthy — traces the trajectory of the covenant blessing. The wealth is not incidental but the visible evidence of what was promised in verse 3: I will bless you. The application: the blessing that is promised to the covenant person in the hard place is not delayed until the hard place ends. It arrives in the hard place, making the hard place itself the site of abundance.
