[tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/I/increased/#m2) ### sense in the lessons In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In "be fruitful and multiply" and in stories like Noah's, growth is seen as a sign of God's blessing, though here it also means flood waters rising. In the later books it is used for a person's wealth, for followers gathering around Absalom, and for God making Israel numerous and strong in Egypt. Interpretation: Tradition sees Israel's growth in Egypt as God keeping His promise to the fathers.
