What translation did you get this wording from?
It's not found in KJV (old school Protestants ), Douay Rheims, NIV(mega churches, some Baptists, many others), or NASB (mainly used by Catholics) translations.
- thebooktocome 10y agoIt's not a translation. It's an allusion. Commonly used by evangelicals. You're over thinking it.
- patrickg_zill 10y agoSource please? I grew up in an evangelical home and went to church every Sunday - and have never heard of "may his tribe increase" aside from that poem.
- areyousure 10y agoIt's not just you. Googling "may his tribe increase" and "Genesis 22:17" only finds this thread.
