This phrase emphasizes God's covenantal love and faithfulness to Israel. The promise of love, blessing, and multiplication echoes the Abrahamic covenant (<a href="/genesis/12-2.htm">Genesis 12:2-3</a>), where God promised to make Abraham's descendants a great nation. The multiplication of the people is a sign of divine favor and fulfillment of God's promises. This reflects the cultural importance of family and progeny in ancient Israel, where large families were seen as a blessing and a sign of God's favor.He will bless the fruit of your womb and the produce of your land—your grain, new wine, and oil, The "fruit of your womb" refers to offspring, highlighting the importance of children in Israelite society as a continuation of the family line and as contributors to the community's strength. The "produce of your land" includes essential agricultural products: grain, wine, and oil, which were staples in the diet and economy of ancient Israel. These blessings are tied to the land's fertility, a direct result of God's favor and a fulfillment of the covenant promises. The mention of grain, wine, and oil also connects to the offerings made in the temple, symbolizing God's provision and the people's gratitude.the young of your herds and the lambs of your flocks— Livestock was a critical component of Israel's agrarian society, providing food, clothing, and economic stability. The increase in herds and flocks signifies prosperity and security. This promise of abundance is reminiscent of the blessings outlined in <a href="/deuteronomy/28-4.htm">Deuteronomy 28:4</a>, where obedience to God's commandments results in material and familial prosperity. The mention of herds and flocks also has sacrificial connotations, as these animals were often used in offerings to God, symbolizing worship and atonement.in the land that He swore to your fathers to give you. This phrase underscores the fulfillment of God's promise to the patriarchs—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—to give their descendants the land of Canaan (<a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18-21</a>). The land is not just a physical territory but a symbol of God's faithfulness and the realization of His covenant. The historical context involves the Israelites' journey from slavery in Egypt to the Promised Land, a journey marked by trials and divine intervention.

Thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. These comprise the fruitful products of the soil, and in their combination express general fertility and abundance. By corn (דִנָן) is undoubtedly to be understood the cereal products generally used for food. It may be doubted if tirosh (תִרושׂ), properly means wine. The word is often rendered in the Authorized Version by new wine, and this is the meaning generally given in the lexicons. As, however, it is almost constantly joined with corn and oil, the immediate products of the soil - at least as unchanged by any process or manufacture - it is rather to be regarded as designating ripe grapes than wine. That, moreover, which was to be gathered (<a href="/deuteronomy/11-14.htm">Deuteronomy 11:14</a>), which might be tithed (<a href="/deuteronomy/12-17.htm">Deuteronomy 12:17</a>; <a href="/deuteronomy/14-23.htm">Deuteronomy 14:23</a>), which might be described as fruit (<a href="/2_chronicles/31-5.htm">2 Chronicles 31:5</a>), as being in the cluster (<a href="/isaiah/65-8.htm">Isaiah 65:8</a>), and as capable of being dried up or parched (<a href="/joel/1-10.htm">Joel 1:10</a>), and trodden (<a href="/micah/7-15.htm">Micah 7:15</a>), could not be a fluid like fermented nine. As the grape juice, however, was that from which wine was elicited, tirosh is sometimes used tropically for wine (<a href="/isaiah/62-8.htm">Isaiah 62:8</a>; <a href="/hosea/4-11.htm">Hosea 4:11</a>), Just as corn is used for bread (<a href="/lamentations/2-12.htm">Lamentations 2:12</a>; <a href="/hosea/7-14.htm">Hosea 7:14</a>). The oil here mentioned, and elsewhere joined with dagan and tirosh, is the pure fresh olive oil (יִצְהָר, from צָהַר, to shine), obtained by pressure from the berries of the olive, and used for food as well as for other purposes by the Jews (see notes on Deuteronomy 8:8). Flocks of thy sheep. The Hebrew is very peculiar here; the same expression occurs only in this book (<a href="/deuteronomy/28-4.htm">Deuteronomy 28:4, 18, 51</a>). Literally rendered, it is the Astartes (Ashtaroth) of thy sheep. Kimchi says it means "the females of the sheep" (נקבות הצאן), and this Gesenius adopts, rendering the phrase by "ewes." Astarte ('Ash-toreth, plu. 'Ashtaroth) was the Phoenician Venus, and it is supposed that the females of the flock were called Astartes orVenuses, as propagating the flock. There is, however, another way of explaining the word as here used, by referring it to a root 'ashar (עָשַׁר), signifying to be multiplied, to be rich; whence the name given to the females as the multipliers of the flock, without any reference to Astarte. <a href="/commentaries/deuteronomy/7-13.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>He will love you וַאֲהֵ֣בְךָ֔ (wa·’ă·hê·ḇə·ḵā) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_157.htm">Strong's 157: </a> To have affection f and bless you וּבֵרַכְךָ֖ (ū·ḇê·raḵ·ḵā) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1288.htm">Strong's 1288: </a> To kneel, to bless God, man, to curse and multiply you. וְהִרְבֶּ֑ךָ (wə·hir·be·ḵā) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7235.htm">Strong's 7235: </a> To be or become much, many or great He will bless וּבֵרַ֣ךְ (ū·ḇê·raḵ) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1288.htm">Strong's 1288: </a> To kneel, to bless God, man, to curse the fruit פְּרִֽי־ (pə·rî-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6529.htm">Strong's 6529: </a> Fruit of your womb בִטְנְךָ֣ (ḇiṭ·nə·ḵā) Noun - feminine singular construct | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_990.htm">Strong's 990: </a> The belly, the womb, the bosom, body of anything and the produce וּפְרִֽי־ (ū·p̄ə·rî-) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6529.htm">Strong's 6529: </a> Fruit of your land— אַ֠דְמָתֶךָ (’aḏ·mā·ṯe·ḵā) Noun - feminine singular construct | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_127.htm">Strong's 127: </a> Ground, land your grain, דְּגָ֨נְךָ֜ (də·ḡā·nə·ḵā) Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1715.htm">Strong's 1715: </a> Corn, grain (of cereals) new wine, וְתִֽירֹשְׁךָ֣ (wə·ṯî·rō·šə·ḵā) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8492.htm">Strong's 8492: </a> Must, fresh grape-juice, fermented wine and oil— וְיִצְהָרֶ֗ךָ (wə·yiṣ·hā·re·ḵā) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3323.htm">Strong's 3323: </a> Oil, anointing the young of your herds, אֲלָפֶ֙יךָ֙ (’ă·lā·p̄e·ḵā) Noun - masculine plural construct | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_504.htm">Strong's 504: </a> A family, an ox, cow and the newborn וְעַשְׁתְּרֹ֣ת (wə·‘aš·tə·rōṯ) Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6251.htm">Strong's 6251: </a> Perhaps young of your flocks, צֹאנֶ֔ךָ (ṣō·ne·ḵā) Noun - feminine singular construct | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6629.htm">Strong's 6629: </a> Small cattle, sheep and goats, flock in עַ֚ל (‘al) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against the land הָֽאֲדָמָ֔ה (hā·’ă·ḏā·māh) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_127.htm">Strong's 127: </a> Ground, land that אֲשֶׁר־ (’ă·šer-) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that He swore נִשְׁבַּ֥ע (niš·ba‘) Verb - Nifal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7650.htm">Strong's 7650: </a> To seven oneself, swear to your fathers לַאֲבֹתֶ֖יךָ (la·’ă·ḇō·ṯe·ḵā) Preposition-l | Noun - masculine plural construct | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1.htm">Strong's 1: </a> Father to give you. לָ֥תֶת (lā·ṯeṯ) Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5414.htm">Strong's 5414: </a> To give, put, set <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/deuteronomy/7-13.htm">Deuteronomy 7:13 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/deuteronomy/7-13.htm">Deuteronomy 7:13 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/deuteronomy/7-13.htm">Deuteronomy 7:13 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/deuteronomy/7-13.htm">Deuteronomy 7:13 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/deuteronomy/7-13.htm">Deuteronomy 7:13 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/deuteronomy/7-13.htm">Deuteronomy 7:13 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/deuteronomy/7-13.htm">Deuteronomy 7:13 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/deuteronomy/7-13.htm">Deuteronomy 7:13 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/deuteronomy/7-13.htm">Deuteronomy 7:13 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/deuteronomy/7-13.htm">Deuteronomy 7:13 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/deuteronomy/7-13.htm">OT Law: Deuteronomy 7:13 And he will love you and bless (Deut.
