Deuteronomy 28:11

28:11 The Lord will greatly multiply your children, ¹  the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your soil in the land which he ²  promised your ancestors ³  he would give you.

Deuteronomy 5:14

5:14 but the seventh day is the Sabbath ⁴  of the Lord your God. On that day you must not do any work, you, your son, your daughter, your male slave, your female slave, your ox, your donkey, any other animal, or the foreigner who lives with you, ⁵  so that your male and female slaves, like yourself, may have rest.

Deuteronomy 28:51

28:51 They ⁶  will devour the offspring of your livestock and the produce of your soil until you are destroyed. They will not leave you with any grain, new wine, olive oil, calves of your herds, ⁷  or lambs of your flocks ⁸  until they have destroyed you.

Deuteronomy 30:9

30:9 The Lord your God will make the labor of your hands ⁹  abundantly successful and multiply your children, ¹⁰  the offspring of your cattle, and the produce of your soil. For the Lord your God will once more ¹¹  rejoice over you to make you prosperous ¹²  just as he rejoiced over your ancestors,

¹ tn Heb “the fruit of your womb” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV); CEV “will give you a lot of children.”

² tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 28:8.

³ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 36, 64).

⁴ tn There is some degree of paronomasia (wordplay) here: “the seventh (הַשְּׁבִיעִי, hashÿvi’i) day is the Sabbath (שַׁבָּת, shabbat).” Otherwise, the words have nothing in common, since “Sabbath” is derived from the verb שָׁבַת (shavat, “to cease”).

⁵ tn Heb “in your gates”; NRSV, CEV “in your towns”; TEV “in your country.”

⁷ tn Heb “it” (so NRSV), a collective singular referring to the invading nation (several times in this verse and v. 52).

⁸ tn Heb “increase of herds.”

⁹ tn Heb “growth of flocks.”

¹⁰ tc The MT reads “hand” (singular). Most versions read the plural.

¹¹ tn Heb “the fruit of your womb” (so NAB, NIV); NRSV “of your body.”

¹² tn Heb “return and.” The Hebrew verb is used idiomatically here to indicate the repetition of the following action.

¹³ tn The Hebrew text includes “for good.”
