Devarim 30:9

9 And Hashem Eloheicha will make thee abound in every work of thine hand, in the pri of thy womb, and in the pri of thy animals, and in the pri of thy adamah, for tovah; for Hashem will again rejoice over thee for tov, as He rejoiced over Avoteicha;

Devarim 30:9 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 30:9

And the Lord thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of
thine hand
In every manufacture, trade, or business of life in which they should be employed; the meaning is, that the Lord will greatly bless them in all that they shall set their hands to in a lawful way; so that they shall abound in good things, and have enough and to spare, a redundancy of the good things of life, great plenty of them:

in the fruit of thy body;
abundance of children:

and in the fruit of thy cattle;
a large increase of oxen and sheep:

and in the fruit of thy land for good;
it being by the blessing of God on their labours restored to its former fertility, though now barren through want of inhabitants, and the slothfulness of those that are possessed of it; for travellers observe ^F15, the soil is still good, was it properly manured and cultivated:

for the Lord will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced
over thy fathers;
particularly in the days of Solomon and David, when the people of Israel enjoyed plenty of all good things, and so they will hereafter; see ( Hosea 2:15 Hosea 2:21 Hosea 2:22 ) ; The Targum of Jonathan is,

``the Word of the Lord will return to rejoice''

See ( Jeremiah 32:41 ) .

Devarim 30:9 In-Context

7 And Hashem Eloheicha will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.

8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of Hashem, and do all His mitzvot which I command thee today.

9 And Hashem Eloheicha will make thee abound in every work of thine hand, in the pri of thy womb, and in the pri of thy animals, and in the pri of thy adamah, for tovah; for Hashem will again rejoice over thee for tov, as He rejoiced over Avoteicha;

10 If thou shalt give heed unto the voice of Hashem Eloheicha, to be shomer over His mitzvot and His chukkot which are written in this sefer hatorah, for thou will turn unto Hashem Eloheicha bekhol levavcha uvekhol nafshecha.

11 For this mitzvah which I command thee today, it is not too hidden from thee, neither is it too distant.
