Deuteronomy 8:12 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 8:12

Lest when thou hast eaten and art full
Not only once and again, but continually, day after day, being indulged with great plenty:

and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt [therein];
who for forty years had only dwelt in tents, moving from place to place in the wilderness.

Deuteronomy 8:12 In-Context

10 ut cum comederis et satiatus fueris benedicas Domino Deo tuo pro terra optima quam dedit tibi

11 observa et cave nequando obliviscaris Domini Dei tui et neglegas mandata eius atque iudicia et caerimonias quas ego praecipio tibi hodie

12 ne postquam comederis et satiatus domos pulchras aedificaveris et habitaveris in eis

13 habuerisque armenta et ovium greges argenti et auri cunctarumque rerum copiam

14 elevetur cor tuum et non reminiscaris Domini Dei tui qui eduxit te de terra Aegypti de domo servitutis
