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 [to] a land of wheat and barley and vines and fig trees and pomegranate trees, a land of olive trees, olive oil and honey;

9 [to] a land where you may eat food in it {without scarcity}; you will not find anything lacking in it, a land where its stones [are] iron and from its mountains you can mine copper.

10 And you will eat, and {you will be satisfied}, and you will bless Yahweh your God because [of] the good land that he has given to you.

11 "Take care for yourself so that you not forget Yahweh your God [by] not keeping his commandments and his regulations and his statutes that I [am] commanding you {today},

12 lest [when] you have eaten and you are satisfied and you have built good houses and you live [in them],
