Exodus 23:26 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 23:26

There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren in the
land
There shall be no abortions or miscarriages, nor sterility or barrenness, either among the Israelites, or their cattle of every kind, so that there should be a great increase, both of men and beasts:

the number of thy days I will fulfil;
which was fixed for each of them, in his eternal purposes and decrees; or what, according to the temperament of their bodies and the course of nature, which, humanly speaking, it might be supposed they would arrive unto; or generally the common term of human life, which, in the days of Moses, was threescore years and ten, or fourscore, see ( Job 14:5 ) ( Ecclesiastes 3:2 ) ( Psalms 90:10 ) , it may be considered whether any respect is had to the time of their continuance in the land of Canaan, the term of which was fixed in the divine mind, or the fulness of time in which the Messiah was to come.

Exodus 23:26 In-Context

24 "You must not bow down to their gods or worship them. You must not live the way those people live. You must destroy their idols, breaking into pieces the stone pillars they use in worship.
25 If you worship the Lord your God, I will bless your bread and your water. I will take away sickness from you.
26 None of your women will have her baby die before it is born, and all women will have children. I will allow you to live long lives.
27 "I will make your enemies afraid of me. I will confuse any people you fight against, and I will make all your enemies run away from you.
28 I will send terror ahead of you that will force the Hivites, Canaanites, and Hittites out of your way.
