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.
