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 The land has wheat and barley, grapevines, fig trees, and pomegranates. The land has honey and olive trees for olive oil.
9 The land will have enough food for you, and you will have everything you need. The land has rocks with iron ore, and you will be able to mine copper ore in the hills.
10 When you have eaten all you want, thank the LORD your God for the good land he has given you.
11 Be careful that you don't forget the LORD your God. Don't fail to obey his commands, rules, and laws that I'm giving you today.
12 You will eat all you want. You will build nice houses and live in them.
