Deuteronomy 28:8-12

Context
28:8 The Lord will decree blessing for you with respect to your barns and in everything you do – yes, he will bless you in the land he¹ is giving you. 28:9 The Lord will designate you as his holy people just as he promised you, if you keep his commandments² and obey him.³ 28:10 Then all the peoples of the earth will see that you belong to the Lord,⁴ and they will respect you. 28:11 The Lord will greatly multiply your children,⁵ the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your soil in the land which he⁶ promised your ancestors⁷ he would give you. 28:12 The Lord will open for you his good treasure house, the heavens, to give you rain for the land in its season and to bless all you do;⁸ you will lend to many nations but you will not borrow from any.

¹tn Heb “the Lord your God.” Because English would not typically reintroduce the proper name following a relative pronoun (“he will bless…the Lord your God is giving”), the pronoun (“he”) has been employed here in the translation.

²tn Heb “the commandments of the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in the previous verse.

³tn Heb “and walk in his ways” (so NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

⁴tn 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).

⁵tn Heb “the fruit of your womb” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV); CEV “will give you a lot of children.”

⁶tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 28:8.

⁷tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 36, 64).

⁸tn Heb “all the work of your hands.”
