Deuteronomy 11:9 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 11:9

And that ye may prolong your days in the land
Not only enter it, and take possession of it, but continue in it long, which depended upon their obedience to the laws of God:

which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their
seed;
had promised with an oath, so that they might be assured of the enjoyment of it, though they could not be of their continuance in it, unless they obeyed the divine commands:

a land that floweth with milk and honey;
abounds with all good things, whose fruits are fat as milk, and sweet as honey; so the Targum of Jonathan.

Deuteronomy 11:9 In-Context

7 Yes, it was you - your eyes - that saw every great thing that God did.

8 So it's you who are in charge of keeping the entire commandment that I command you today so that you'll have the strength to invade and possess the land that you are crossing the river to make your own.

9 Your obedience will give you a long life on the soil that God promised to give your ancestors and their children, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 The land you are entering to take up ownership isn't like Egypt, the land you left, where you had to plant your own seed and water it yourselves as in a vegetable garden.

11 But the land you are about to cross the river and take for your own is a land of mountains and valleys; it drinks water that rains from the sky.
