28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

1 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, ^v“Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

7 ^fBut the people of Israel were ^gfruitful and increased greatly; they multiplied and grew exceedingly strong, so that the land was filled with them.

9 I will ^jturn to you and make you ^kfruitful and multiply you and will confirm my covenant with you.

16 And when you have multiplied and been fruitful in the land, in those days, declares the Lord, they shall no more say, “The ⁿark of the covenant of the Lord.” ^oIt shall not come to mind or be remembered or missed; it shall not be made again.
