2. And I will make of thee a great Nation, and I will bless thee , and make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing .
With all my blessings, spiritual, temporal, and eternal. See Deut. 7, 13. and 28. 2, &c. and Eph. 1. 3.
(i. e.) Both a pattern and an instrument of blessedness to others, to thy posterity, who shall be blessed for thy sake, to thy Servants and Friends, who shall be blessed by thy instruction and help; and to all the world, as it follows.
