Deuteronomy 11:9

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 But with your own eyes you saw all of the great things the LORD has done.

8 So obey all of the commands I'm giving you today. Then you will be strong enough to go in and take over the land. You will go across the Jordan River and take it as your own.

9 You will live in the land for a long time. It's the land the LORD promised to give to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their children after them. He took an oath when he made that promise. It's a land that has plenty of milk and honey.

10 You will enter it and take it over. It isn't like the land of Egypt. That's where you came from. You planted your seeds there. You had to water them, just as you have to water a vegetable garden.

11 But you will soon go across the Jordan River. The land you are going to take over has mountains and valleys in it. It drinks rain from heaven.
