Deuteronomy 7:14

7:14 You will be blessed beyond all peoples; there will be no barrenness among you or your livestock.

Deuteronomy 28:10

28:10 Then all the peoples of the earth will see that you belong to the Lord, and they will respect you.

sn One of the ironies about the promises to the patriarchs concerning offspring was the characteristic barrenness of the wives of the men to whom these pledges were made (cf. Gen 11:30; 25:21; 29:31). Their affliction is in each case described by the very Hebrew word used here (עֲקָרָה, ’aqarah), an affliction that will no longer prevail in Canaan.

tn Heb “the name of the Lord is called over you.” The Hebrew idiom indicates ownership; see 2 Sam 12:28; Isa 4:1, as well as BDB 896 s.v. קָרָא Niph. 2.d.(4).
