Deuteronomy 28:11

And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods
In all temporal good things, give them an affluence of them, even all things richly to enjoy; the Targum of Jonathan is,

``the Word of the Lord shall''

in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the
fruit of thy ground:
increase their children, cattle, and substance, as before, ( Deuteronomy 28:4 ) ; in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee;
the land of Canaan, often thus described.
