Deuteronomy 6:10 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 6:10

And it shall be, when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee
into the land
The land of Canaan, on the borders of which they now were, and were just going into:

which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to
give thee;
of his own free favour and good will, without any merit and desert of theirs, and in which would be found

great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not;
large and capacious, delightfully situated, well built, and strongly fortified, without any pains or expense of theirs; all ready for them to take possession of, and dwell in; and so should no longer reside in tents or booths, as they had for forty years past, but in spacious and noble cities.

Deuteronomy 6:10 In-Context

8 Tie them on your hand as a sign, put them at the front of a headband around your forehead,

9 and write them on the door-frames of your house and on your gates.

10 "When ADONAI your God has brought you into the land he swore to your ancestors Avraham, Yitz'chak and Ya'akov that he would give you - cities great and prosperous, which you didn't build;

11 houses full of all sorts of good things, which you didn't fill; water cisterns dug out, which you didn't dig; vineyards and olive trees, which you didn't plant - and you have eaten your fill;

12 then be careful not to forget ADONAI, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, where you lived as slaves.
