“For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.”
I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you. The demographic blessing: fruitfulness and increasing numbers. The God who looks with favor on the covenant community is the God who blesses them with the fruitfulness that the creation mandate calls for (Genesis 1:28). The I will keep my covenant with you communicates that the blessings are expressions of the covenant relationship: the God who blesses is the God who covenants. The blessings and the covenant are inseparable.
