Deuteronomy 8:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Deuteronomy 8:1

Remember the Lord Your God

1 “Every commandment which I command you today ^ayou must be careful to observe, that you may live and ^bmultiply, and go in and possess the land of which the Lord³ swore to your fathers.

2 And you shall remember that the Lord your God ^aled you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and ^btest you, ^cto know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.

3 So He humbled you, ^aallowed you to hunger, and ^bfed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall ^cnot live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.

4 ^aYour garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years.

5 ^aYou should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the Lord your God chastens you.

6 “Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, ^ato walk in His ways and to fear Him.

7 For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, ^aa land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills;

8 a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey;

9 a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper.
