But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
But when he sees his children, who are the work of my hands, living among him, they will honor my name as holy, and they will honor the Holy One of Jacob as sacred, and they will have reverent respect for the God of Israel.
God is promising that when Jacob sees his descendants (God's people) flourishing around him, they will worship God with proper reverence and honor His holy name.
