Deuteronomy 8
1. An exhortation to obedience in regard to God's mercy and goodness to Israel.














When you have eaten
This phrase signifies a moment of physical fulfillment and satisfaction. In the Hebrew context, eating is not merely a physical act but a communal and spiritual one. The Hebrew word for "eaten" (אָכַל, 'akal) often implies a sense of sharing and fellowship. In ancient Israel, meals were a time of community and gratitude, reflecting God's provision. This phrase reminds us that our daily sustenance is a gift from God, and it calls us to recognize His hand in our lives.

and are satisfied
The Hebrew word for "satisfied" (שָׂבַע, saba') conveys a sense of being filled or having enough. It is not just about physical fullness but also about contentment and peace. In a broader biblical context, satisfaction is linked to spiritual fulfillment and the peace that comes from trusting in God's provision. This satisfaction is a reminder of God's faithfulness and abundance, encouraging believers to find contentment in Him rather than in material wealth.

you are to bless
The act of blessing (בָּרַךְ, barak) in Hebrew is a powerful expression of praise and thanksgiving. It is an acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and goodness. To bless the LORD is to recognize His authority and to express gratitude for His blessings. This phrase calls believers to a posture of worship and reverence, reminding us that all good things come from God and that our response should be one of heartfelt praise.

the LORD your God
This phrase emphasizes the personal relationship between God and His people. "LORD" (יהוה, Yahweh) is the covenant name of God, signifying His eternal presence and faithfulness. "Your God" indicates a personal and communal relationship, highlighting that God is not distant but intimately involved in the lives of His people. This relationship is central to the identity of the Israelites and, by extension, to all believers who are grafted into the family of God through faith in Christ.

for the good land
The "good land" refers to the Promised Land, a tangible representation of God's promise and faithfulness. In Hebrew, "good" (טוֹב, tov) implies not only physical richness but also moral and spiritual goodness. The land is a gift from God, a place where His people can thrive and live in accordance with His will. This phrase serves as a reminder of God's promises and the blessings that come from living in obedience to Him.

He has given you
This phrase underscores the grace and generosity of God. The land is not earned but given, a testament to God's unmerited favor. The Hebrew verb "given" (נָתַן, natan) implies a deliberate and generous act. It reminds believers that all blessings are gifts from God, not rewards for our efforts. This understanding fosters a spirit of humility and gratitude, recognizing that everything we have is a result of God's grace and love.

(10) When thou hast eaten.--Literally, and thou shalt eat and be satisfied, and shalt bless the Lord thy God. There is a saying in the Talmud (Berachoth, p. 35a.), "It is forbidden to any man to take any enjoyment from this present world without thanksgiving; and every one who does so is a transgressor."

Verse 10. - When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God. "From this place the Jews have made it a general rule, or, as they call it, an affirmative precept, that every one bless God at their meals, that is, give him thanks for his benefits; for he blesses us when he bestows good things on us, and we bless him when we thankfully acknowledge his goodness therein" (Patrick).
