What Does Psalms 105:24 Mean?
God's covenant promise to make Abraham's seed as numerous as the stars began to fulfill in Egypt. What seemed impossible—a handful of seventy people (Jacob's household) becoming a great nation—became reality through God's blessing of fertility and longevity. Israel multiplied greatly under divine blessing.
Strength and growth went together. As Israel increased in number, they gained influence and power. They became 'stronger than their enemies,' not merely in military might but in demographic presence and cultural significance. Yet this growing power would soon become the source of Pharaoh's fear.
