Deuteronomy 8:10

10 ut cum comederis et satiatus fueris benedicas Domino Deo tuo pro terra optima quam dedit tibi

Deuteronomy 8:10 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 8:10

When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless
the Lord thy God
For as the Lord would furnish them with plenty of food, they might eat of it liberally, provided they did not indulge to intemperance, as everyone may whom God has blessed with a fulness of good things; and this shows that we are to return thanks to God for a plentiful meal, as well as to ask a blessing on it:

for the good land which he hath given thee;
which supplied them with such plenty, that they enjoyed full meals every day.

Deuteronomy 8:10 In-Context

8 terram frumenti hordei vinearum in qua ficus et mala granata et oliveta nascuntur terram olei ac mellis
9 ubi absque ulla penuria comedes panem tuum et rerum omnium abundantia perfrueris cuius lapides ferrum sunt et de montibus eius aeris metalla fodiuntur
10 ut cum comederis et satiatus fueris benedicas Domino Deo tuo pro terra optima quam dedit tibi
11 observa et cave nequando obliviscaris Domini Dei tui et neglegas mandata eius atque iudicia et caerimonias quas ego praecipio tibi hodie
12 ne postquam comederis et satiatus domos pulchras aedificaveris et habitaveris in eis
