ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૨૯:૬
તમે પરણો અને સંતાનોને જન્મ આપો. પછી તમારાં દીકરા-દીકરીઓને પરણાવો. જેથી તેઓ પણ સંતાનો પેદા કરે. તમે વૃદ્ધિ પામો, ઓછા ન થાઓ.
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह २९:६
ब्याह करके बेटे-बेटियाँ जन्माओ; और अपने बेटों के लिये स्त्रियाँ ब्याह लो और अपनी बेटियाँ पुरुषों को ब्याह दो, कि वे भी बेटे-बेटियाँ जन्माएँ; और वहाँ घटो नहीं वरन् बढ़ते जाओ।
