એ માટે એકથી અને તે પણ વળી મૂએલા જેવો, તેનાથી સંખ્યામાં આકાશમાંના તારા જેટલાં તથા સમુદ્રના કાંઠા પરની રેતી જે અગણિત છે તેના જેટલાં લોક ઉત્પન્ન થયા.
हिन्दीइब्रानियों ११:१२
इस कारण एक ही जन से जो मरा हुआ सा था, आकाश के तारों और समुद्र तट के रेत के समान, अनगिनत वंश उत्पन्न हुआ। (उत्प. 15:5, उत्प. 2:12)

In context

10For he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

11By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive, and she bore a child when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised.

12Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.

13These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

14For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
