Deuteronomy 28:1-6

Future blessing

1 Now if you really obey the LORD your God's voice, by carefully keeping all his commandments that I am giving you right now, then the LORD your God will set you high above all nations on earth.
2 All these blessings will come upon you and find you if you obey the LORD your God's voice:
3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the field.
4 Your own fertility, your soil's produce, and your livestock's offspring—the young of both cattle and flocks—will be blessed.
5 Your basket and your kneading bowl will be blessed.
6 You will be blessed when you are out and about and blessed when you come back.

Deuteronomy 28:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO DEUTERONOMY 28

In this chapter Moses enlarges on the blessings and the curses which belong, the one to the doers, the other to the transgressors of the law; the blessings, De 28:1-14; the curses, some of which concern individual persons, others the whole nation and body of people, and that both under the former and present dispensations, and which had their fulfilment in their former captivities, and more especially in their present dispersion, De 28:15-68.
