Joshua 24:3 Douay-Rheims

And I took your father Abraham from the borders of Mesopotamia: and brought him into the land of Chanaan: and I multiplied his seed,

Rashi

1040–1105 Jewish

I multiplied his descendants. The word אַרְבֶּ in the text lacks the letter ה, [from which we infer:] “How many troubles and tests did I bring upon him before I gave him a descendant.”

Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
