Livestock was a primary source of sustenance, providing meat, milk, and wool, and was also used in religious sacrifices. The growth of herds and flocks signifies God's blessing and provision. This phrase reflects the agrarian society of the Israelites, where prosperity was directly linked to agricultural success. The increase in livestock can be seen as a fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs, such as Abraham, who was blessed with abundant flocks (<a href="/genesis/13-2.htm">Genesis 13:2</a>). It also serves as a reminder of the covenant relationship between God and His people, where obedience leads to blessing.<p><b>and your silver and gold increase</b><br>Silver and gold were considered valuable commodities in the ancient Near East, used for trade, ornamentation, and as a measure of wealth. The increase in silver and gold indicates economic prosperity and stability. This phrase highlights the material blessings that come from God, emphasizing that wealth is a gift from Him. It serves as a warning against the potential idolatry of wealth, as seen in the later history of Israel when prosperity led to spiritual complacency and turning away from God (<a href="/hosea/13-6.htm">Hosea 13:6</a>). The accumulation of wealth should lead to gratitude and dependence on God, not self-reliance or pride.<p><b>and all that you have is multiplied</b><br>The multiplication of possessions encompasses all aspects of life, including family, land, and resources. This comprehensive blessing reflects the holistic nature of God's provision. It echoes the promise given to the Israelites that they would inherit a land flowing with milk and honey (<a href="/exodus/3-8.htm">Exodus 3:8</a>). The multiplication of possessions is a sign of God's faithfulness to His covenant promises. It also serves as a test of the Israelites' faithfulness, as prosperity can lead to forgetfulness of God (<a href="/deuteronomy/8-14.htm">Deuteronomy 8:14</a>). This phrase calls believers to remember that all blessings come from God and to use them for His glory and the advancement of His kingdom.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The author of Deuteronomy, delivering God's message to the Israelites.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The audience receiving the message, preparing to enter the Promised Land.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/p/promised_land.htm">Promised Land</a></b><br>The land of Canaan, a place of abundance promised to the descendants of Abraham.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/w/wilderness_journey.htm">Wilderness Journey</a></b><br>The context of the Israelites' journey from Egypt to Canaan, a time of testing and reliance on God.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/c/covenant.htm">Covenant</a></b><br>The agreement between God and Israel, emphasizing obedience and blessings.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/r/recognize_god's_provision.htm">Recognize God's Provision</a></b><br>Acknowledge that all blessings and prosperity come from God, not from our own efforts.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/guard_against_pride.htm">Guard Against Pride</a></b><br>Be vigilant against the pride that can accompany wealth and success, leading to a forgetfulness of God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/practice_generosity.htm">Practice Generosity</a></b><br>Use the resources God has given to bless others and further His kingdom.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/cultivate_contentment.htm">Cultivate Contentment</a></b><br>Learn to be content in all circumstances, understanding that true satisfaction comes from God, not material wealth.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/m/maintain_a_heart_of_gratitude.htm">Maintain a Heart of Gratitude</a></b><br>Regularly thank God for His blessings, fostering a spirit of gratitude that keeps us humble and reliant on Him.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_deuteronomy_8.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Deuteronomy 8</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_foods_are_mentioned_in_the_bible.htm">What foods are mentioned in the Bible?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/play_drum_for_newborn_king.htm">Is being wealthy considered sinful?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_did_reuben_and_gad_sustain_herds.htm">Numbers 32:1-5: How could the tribes of Reuben and Gad realistically sustain such large herds in a desert environment with limited resources?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_did_israelites_gather_offerings.htm">Numbers 7:1-3: How could the Israelites, while wandering in the wilderness, assemble such large quantities of metals and animals for offerings?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/deuteronomy/8-13.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">and when your herds</span><br /><span class="heb">וּבְקָֽרְךָ֤</span> <span class="translit">(ū·ḇə·qā·rə·ḵā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun -
