Blessings for Obedience

1 "And 1if you faithfully obey the voice of the LORD your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the LORD your God will set you 2high above all the nations of the earth.
2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and 3overtake you, if you obey the voice of the LORD your God.
3 Blessed shall you be in the city, and 4blessed shall you be in the field.
4 Blessed shall be 5the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock.
5 Blessed shall be your basket and your 6kneading bowl.
6 Blessed shall you be 7when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.

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.
