2845. Verse 17. That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed, as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall inherit the gate of thine enemies. "That in blessing I will bless thee," signifies fructification from the affection of truth; "and in multiplying I will multiply," signifies derivations of truth therefrom; "thy seed," signifies the spiritual, who being in the good of faith are saved by the Lord's Divine Human; "as the stars of the heavens," signifies the multitude of the knowledges of good and truth; "and as the sand which is upon the sea shore," signifies the multitude of corresponding memory-knowledges; "and thy seed shall inherit the gate of thine enemies," signifies that charity and faith shall come into the place where evil and falsity were before.

2845. Verse 17 I will certainly bless you, and I will certainly multiply your seed like the stars of the heavens and like the sand which is on the seashore. And your seed will inherit the gate of theira enemies.
'I will certainly bless you' means fruitfulness by virtue of the affection for truth. 'I will certainly multiply' means derivations of truth from this affection. 'Your seed' means spiritual people who, having that good within them that springs from faith, are saved by the Lord's Divine Human. 'Like the stars of the heavens' means a whole multitude of cognitions of good and truth. 'And like the sand which is on the seashore' means a whole multitude of correspondent facts. 'And your seed will inherit the gate of their enemies' means that charity and faith will take the place occupied previously by evil and falsity.
