Deuteronomy 2:7 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 2:7

For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of
thine hands
Had increased their cattle and substance, even though in a wilderness:

he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness;
every step they took, and he owned them and prospered them in all things in which they were concerned:

these forty years the Lord thy God hath been with thee:
not only to protect and defend them, but to provide all things necessary for them. This number of years was not fully completed, but the round number is given instead of the broken one:

thou hast lacked nothing:
and since they had wherewith to pay for their food and drink, they are directed to do it, and not take anything from the Edomites in an unjust way; nor make themselves look poor when they were rich, as Jarchi says.

Deuteronomy 2:7 In-Context

5 Don't fight with them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even an inch of it, because I have given Esau the hill country of Seir as [his] possession.

6 You may purchase food from them with silver, so that you may eat, and buy water from them to drink.

7 For the Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this immense wilderness. The Lord your God has been with you this past 40 years, and you have lacked nothing.'

8 "So we bypassed our brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. [We turned] away from the Arabah road and from Elath and Ezion-geber. We traveled along the road to the Wilderness of Moab.

9 The Lord said to me, 'Show no hostility toward Moab, and do not provoke them to battle, for I will not give you any of their land as a possession, since I have given Ar as a possession to the descendants of Lot.' "
