Deuteronomy 11:8 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 11:8

Therefore shall you keep all the commandments which I command
you this day
For the reasons before suggested, as well as for what follow:

that ye may be strong;
healthful in body, and courageous in mind, for sin tends to weaken both; whereas observance of the commands of God contributes to the health and strength of the body, and the rigour of the mind; both which were necessary to the present expedition they were going upon:

and go in and possess the land whither ye go to possess it;
the land of Canaan, they were marching towards in order to possess it; and nothing would more inspire them with courage, and cause them to enter it manfully without fear of their enemies, than obedience to the commands of God; whose presence being promised them on that account, they might expect it, and so had nothing to fear from the inhabitants of the land.

Deuteronomy 11:8 In-Context

6 what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab son of Reuben, how the Earth opened its jaws and swallowed them with their families - their tents, and everything around them - right out of the middle of Israel.

7 Yes, it was you - your eyes - that saw every great thing that God did.

8 So it's you who are in charge of keeping the entire commandment that I command you today so that you'll have the strength to invade and possess the land that you are crossing the river to make your own.

9 Your obedience will give you a long life on the soil that God promised to give your ancestors and their children, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 The land you are entering to take up ownership isn't like Egypt, the land you left, where you had to plant your own seed and water it yourselves as in a vegetable garden.
