Deuteronomio 8:9

9 tierra en la cual no comerás el pan con escasez, no te faltará nada en ella; tierra que sus piedras son hierro, y de sus montes sacarás bronce

Deuteronomio 8:9 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 8:9

A land wherein thou shall eat bread without scarceness
That is, should have plenty of all sorts of provisions, which bread is often put for:

thou shall not lack anything in it;
for necessity and convenience, and for delight and pleasure:

a land whose stones are iron;
in which were iron mines:

and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass;
both which are taken out of the earth and the stones of it, ( Job 28:2 ) and were to be found in the land of Canaan, and particularly in the tribe of Asher, as seems from ( Deuteronomy 33:25 ) and more particularly at Sidon and Sarepta, which were in that tribe; the latter of which seems to have its name from the melting of metals there, and the former is said in Homer ^F20 to abound with brass.
