b	1 Kgs. 4: 20. 20 ¶ Judah and Israel were many, as the ^asand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry. 1 Ne. 12: 1. 1 And it came to pass that the angel said unto me: Look, and behold thy seed, and also the seed of thy brethren. And I looked and beheld the ^aland of promise; and I beheld multitudes of people, yea, even as it were in number as many as the ^bsand of the sea. 2 Ne. 20: 22. 22 For though thy people ^aIsrael be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall ^breturn; the ^cconsumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
