Deuteronomy 7:14 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 7:14

Thou shalt be blessed above all people
Even with temporal blessings, besides those of a religious kind; they having the oracles of God, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises, ( Romans 3:1 Romans 3:2 ) ( 9:4 ) ,

there shall not be male or female barren among you;
which to be was reckoned a reproach, and the contrary a blessing, ( Luke 1:25 ) ( Psalms 127:5 ) ( Psalms 128:3 Psalms 128:4 )

or among your cattle;
the Targum of Jonathan is, nor thy beasts barren of wool, and milk, and lambs.

Deuteronomy 7:14 In-Context

12 It shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances, and keep and do them, that Yahweh your God will keep with you the covenant and the lovingkindness which he swore to your fathers:
13 and he will love you, and bless you, and multiply you; he will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the young of your flock, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you.
14 You shall be blessed above all peoples: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
15 Yahweh will take away from you all sickness; and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, will he put on you, but will lay them on all those who hate you.
16 You shall consume all the peoples who Yahweh your God shall deliver to you; your eye shall not pity them: neither shall you serve their gods; for that will be a snare to you.
