Contextual Overview

1 You must completely obey the Lord your God, and you must carefully follow all his commands I am giving you today. Then the Lord your God will make you greater than any other nation on earth. 2 Obey the Lord your God so that all these blessings will come and stay with you: 3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. 4 Your children will be blessed, as well as your crops; your herds will be blessed with calves and your flocks with lambs. 5 Your basket and your kitchen will be blessed. 6 You will be blessed when you come in and when you go out. 7 The Lord will help you defeat the enemies that come to fight you. They will attack you from one direction, but they will run from you in seven directions. 8 The Lord your God will bless you with full barns, and he will bless everything you do. He will bless the land he is giving you. 9 The Lord will make you his holy people, as he promised. But you must obey his commands and do what he wants you to do. 10 Then everyone on earth will see that you are the Lord 's people, and they will be afraid of you.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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, c.''

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A comparison of this chapter with Exodus 23:20-23 and Leviticus 26:0 will show how Moses here resumes and amplifies the promises and threats already set forth in the earlier records of the Law. The language rises in this chapter to the sublimest strains, especially in the latter part of it; and the prophecies respecting the dispersion and degradation of the Jewish nation in its later days are among the most remarkable in scripture. They are plain, precise, and circumstantial; and the fulfillment of them has been literal, complete, and undeniable.

The Blessing. The six repetitions of the word “blessed” introduce the particular forms which the blessing would take in the various relations of life.

Deuteronomy 28:5

The “basket” or bag was a customary means in the East for carrying about whatever might be needed for personal uses (compare Deuteronomy 26:2; John 13:29).

The “store” is rather the kneading-trough Exodus 8:3; Exodus 12:34. The blessings here promised relate, it will be observed, to private and personal life: in Deuteronomy 28:7 those which are of a more public and national character are brought forward.

Deuteronomy 28:9

The oath with which God vouchsafed to confirm His promises to the patriarchs (compare Genesis 22:16; Hebrews 6:13-14) contained by implication these gifts of holiness and eminence to Israel (compare the marginal references).
