Deuteronomy 7:14 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 7:14

Thou shalt be blessed above all people
Even with temporal blessings, besides those of a religious kind; they having the oracles of God, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises, ( Romans 3:1 Romans 3:2 ) ( 9:4 ) ,

there shall not be male or female barren among you;
which to be was reckoned a reproach, and the contrary a blessing, ( Luke 1:25 ) ( Psalms 127:5 ) ( Psalms 128:3 Psalms 128:4 )

or among your cattle;
the Targum of Jonathan is, nor thy beasts barren of wool, and milk, and lambs.

Deuteronomy 7:14 In-Context

12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God will keep to thee the covenant and the mercy which he swore to thy fathers:

13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless thy children, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he swore to thy fathers to give thee.

14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.

15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt (which thou knowest) upon thee; but will lay them upon all [them] that hate thee.

16 And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver to thee; thy eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that [will be] a snare to thee.
