Deuteronomy 30:9

So the LORD your God will make you abound in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your land. Indeed, the LORD will again delight in your prosperity, as He delighted in that of your fathers,

Study note

Setting — Moses addresses the Israelites on the plains of Moab, framing a future promise that activates only after they return to covenant obedience.

The words — The Hebrew verb וְ/הוֹתִֽירְ/ךָ֩ (ve./ho.ti.re./Kha) literally means "and he will make abound," while בִטְנְ/ךָ֜ (vit.ne./Kha) translates to "your womb."

The thread — This specific catalog of blessings runs parallel to Deuteronomy 28:11 and Deuteronomy 28:4, while the declaration that God will again delight in the people's prosperity mirrors the language in Jeremiah 32:41.

Why it lands — The verse explicitly ties material and familial restoration to the prior commands in Deuteronomy 30:8 and 30:10, requiring the reader to treat obedience not as optional piety but as the stated mechanism for covenant renewal.

King James Version

And the Lord thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the Lord will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
