Deuteronomy 8:12 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 8:12

Lest when thou hast eaten and art full

and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt [therein];
who for forty years had only dwelt in tents, moving from place to place in the wilderness.

Deuteronomy 8:12 In-Context

10 When you eat and are full, you will praise the Lord your God for the good land He has given you.

11 "Be careful that you don't forget the Lord your God by failing to keep His command-the ordinances and statutes-I am giving you today.

12 When you eat and are full, and build beautiful houses to live in,

13 and your herds and flocks grow large, and your silver and gold multiply, and everything else you have increases,

14 [be careful] that your heart doesn't become proud and you forget the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the place of slavery.
