Deuteronomy 28:1-6

Blessings for Obeying the LORD

1 Make sure you obey the LORD your God completely. Be careful to follow all of his commands. I'm giving them to you today. If you do those things, the LORD will honor you more than all of the other nations on earth.
2 If you obey the LORD your God, here are the blessings that will come to you and remain with you.
3 You will be blessed in the cities. You will be blessed out in the country.
4 Your children will be blessed. Your crops will be blessed. The young animals among your livestock will be blessed. That includes your calves and lambs.
5 Your baskets and bread pans will be blessed.
6 You will be blessed no matter where you go.

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.
