And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.
Their children will be known among the nations, and their descendants among all peoples. Everyone who sees them will recognize that they are the people the LORD has blessed.
God is promising that His people's children and descendants will be so obviously blessed that people from all nations will recognize God's favor on them.
