"For¹ [it was] littleª which¹ thou hadst¹ before¹ I² [came], and it is [now] increasedª° unto a multitude;ª and the LORDª hath blessedª° thee since my coming:ª and now¹ whenª shall I¹ provideª° for mine own houseª also?¹" {Gen 30:30} + "And Abramª [was] veryª rich²°¹ in cattle,ª in silver,ª and in gold.ª" {Gen 13:2} + "And the LORDª hath blessedª°¹ my masterª greatly;ª and he is become great:ª° and he hath givenª° him flocks,ª and herds,ª and silver,ª and gold,ª and menservants,ª and maidservants,ª and camels,ª and asses.ª" {Gen 24:35} + "And the manª waxed great,ª° and went²°¹ forward,ª° and grewª until¹¹ he became²° very² great:ª°¹ ...
