Deuteronomy 28:11 Meaning and Commentary

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.

9 The Lord raise thee up for himself a holy people, as he sware to thy fathers; if thou wilt hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and walk in all his ways.

10 And all the nations of the earth shall see thee, that the name of the Lord is called upon thee, and they shall stand in awe of thee.
