When they were but few in number, few indeed, and strangers in it,

At first there weren’t very many of God’s people. There were only a few, and they were strangers in the land.

When they were few in number, of little account, and sojourners in it,

He said this when they were few in number, a tiny group of strangers in Canaan.

When they were few in number, very few indeed, and resident aliens in Canaan,

When they were only a few people in number, Very few, and strangers in it.

When they were few in number, Indeed very few, and strangers in it.

When they were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.

When they were few in number, very few indeed, and temporary residents in Canaan,

When they were[ but] a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

When they were few in number, just a very few, and resident aliens within it,

when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.

Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi,“ You have brought trouble on me by making me obnoxious to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people living in this land. We are few in number, and if they join forces against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.” (niv)

The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. (niv)

By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. (niv)

“ I am a foreigner and stranger among you. Sell me some property for a burial site here so I can bury my dead.” (niv)

Then you shall declare before the Lord your God:“ My father was a wandering Aramean, and he went down into Egypt with a few people and lived there and became a great nation, powerful and numerous. (niv)

He gave him no inheritance here, not even enough ground to set his foot on. But God promised him that he and his descendants after him would possess the land, even though at that time Abraham had no child. (niv)

“ Son of man, the people living in those ruins in the land of Israel are saying,‘ Abraham was only one man, yet he possessed the land. But we are many; surely the land has been given to us as our possession.’Therefore say to them,‘ This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Since you eat meat with the blood still in it and look to your idols and shed blood, should you then possess the land?You rely on your sword, you do detestable things, and each of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. Should you then possess the land?’“ Say this to them:‘ This is what the Sovereign Lord says: As surely as I live, those who are left in the ruins will fall by the sword, those out in the country I will give to the wild animals to be devoured, and those in strongholds and caves will die of a plague.I will make the land a desolate waste, and her proud strength will come to an end, and the mountains of Israel will become desolate so that no one will cross them.Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I have made the land a desolate waste because of all the detestable things they have done.’“ As for you, son of man, your people are talking together about you by the walls and at the doors of the houses, saying to each other,‘ Come and hear the message that has come from the Lord.’My people come to you, as they usually do, and sit before you to hear your words, but they do not put them into practice. Their mouths speak of love, but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain.Indeed, to them you are nothing more than one who sings love songs with a beautiful voice and plays an instrument well, for they hear your words but do not put them into practice.“ When all this comes true— and it surely will— then they will know that a prophet has been among them.” (niv)

look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. When I called him he was only one man, and I blessed him and made him many. (niv)

And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore. (niv)

The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God.” (niv)
