10 The Lord your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
10 The Lord your God has increased your numbers so that today you are as numerous as the stars in the sky.
10 The Lord your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are today as numerous as the stars of heaven.
10 God, your God, has multiplied your numbers. Why, look at you - you rival the stars in the sky!
10 The Lord your God has multiplied you, and here you are today, as the stars of heaven in multitude.
10 The Lord your God has increased your population, making you as numerous as the stars!
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 1:10
Commentary on Deuteronomy 1:9-18
(Read Deuteronomy 1:9-18)
Moses reminds the people of the happy constitution of their government, which might make them all safe and easy, if it was not their own fault. He owns the fulfilment of God's promise to Abraham, and prays for the further accomplishment of it. We are not straitened in the power and goodness of God; why should we be straitened in our own faith and hope? Good laws were given to the Israelites, and good men were to see to the execution of them, which showed God's goodness to them, and the care of Moses.
