Contextual Overview

⁹ But, in regard to you, my brethren, we are persuaded better things, and things pertaining to life, although we thus speak. ¹⁰ For God is not unrighteous, to forget your works, and your charity which ye have shown in his name, in that ye have ministered and do minister to the saints. ¹¹ And we desire, that each one of you may show this same activity, for the completion of your hope, even to the end: ¹² and that ye faint not; but that ye be emulators of them who by faith and patience have become heirs of the promise. ¹³ For when God made the promise to Abraham, because there was none greater than himself by whom he could swear, he swore by himself; ¹⁴ and said: Blessing, I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. ¹⁵ And so he was patient, and obtained the promise. ¹⁶ For men swear by one greater than themselves: and in every controversy that occurs among them, the sure termination of it is by an oath. ¹⁷ Therefore, God, being abundantly willing to show to the heirs of the promise, that his promising was irreversible, bound it up in an oath; ¹⁸ so that, by two things which change not, and in which God cannot lie, we, who have sought refuge in him, might have great consolation, and might hold fast the hope promised to us;

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Saying, surely blessing I will bless thee,.... Which is expressive of the certainty of the blessings; the reality and substantiality of them; the abundance of them, and the continuance of the same: and of this nature are all spiritual blessings; as to be chosen of God; to have God to be a covenant God and Father; to be justified, pardoned, adopted, and sanctified, and so have a right and title to eternal happiness:

and multiplying I will multiply thee; meaning both in his natural and spiritual seed, which has had its accomplishment.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee - That is, I will certainly bless thee. The phrase is a Hebrew mode of expression, to denote emphasis or certainty - indicated by the repetition of a word; compare Genesis 14:23; Exodus 8:10; Joel 3:14; Judges 5:30; Judges 15:16.

Multiplying I will multiply thee - I will greatly increase thee - I will grant thee an exceedingly numerous posterity.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 14. Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee — I will continue to bless thee.

Multiplying I will multiply thee. — I will continue to increase thy posterity. In the most literal manner God continues to fulfil this promise; genuine Christians are Abraham's seed, and God is increasing their number daily. See the notes on Genesis 22:12-18; and Genesis 23:1.
