No woman in your land
This phrase emphasizes the communal blessing promised to the Israelites. The Hebrew word for "land" is "eretz," which often signifies not just physical territory but also the covenantal promise of a place where God's people can thrive. The promise is inclusive, indicating that the blessing of fertility and life is not limited to a select few but is intended for the entire community of God's chosen people.

will miscarry or be barren
The Hebrew words "shakol" (miscarry) and "akar" (barren) are significant in the context of ancient Israel, where fertility was seen as a direct blessing from God. In a society where lineage and inheritance were crucial, the assurance against miscarriage and barrenness was a profound promise of divine favor and continuity. This promise reflects God's sovereignty over life and His ability to bless His people with fruitfulness, countering the curse of barrenness seen in other parts of Scripture.

I will fulfill
The phrase "I will fulfill" is a declaration of God's faithfulness and power. The Hebrew root "male" conveys the idea of completion and abundance. This assurance from God underscores His role as the ultimate provider and sustainer, who not only gives life but also ensures its fullness. It is a reminder of God's covenantal faithfulness, as He commits to bringing His promises to fruition.

the number of your days
This phrase speaks to the divine control over the lifespan of individuals. The Hebrew word "mispar" (number) suggests a predetermined, divinely ordained span of life. In the biblical context, a full life is often associated with righteousness and divine favor. This promise assures the Israelites that their lives will not be cut short by premature death, but rather, they will live out their days in accordance with God's perfect plan. It is a testament to God's protective care and His desire for His people to experience the fullness of life He intends for them.

(26) There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren.--Abortions, untimely births, and barrenness, when they exceeded a certain average amount, were always reckoned in the ancient world among the signs of God's disfavour, and special expiatory rites were devised for checking them. Conversely, when such misfortunes fell short of the ordinary average, God's favour was presumed. The promises here made confirm man's instinctive feeling.

The number of thy days I will fulfil.--Comp. Exodus 20:12. Long life is always regarded in Scripture as a blessing. (Comp. Psalm 55:23; Psalm 90:10; Job 5:26; Job 42:16-17; 1Kings 3:11; Isaiah 65:20; Ephesians 6:3, &c.) . . .

Verse 26. - There shall nothing out their young, nor be barren in thy land. This blessing could not have followed upon godly living in the way of natural sequence, but only by Divine favor and providential care. It would have rendered them rich in flocks and herds beyond any other nation. The number of thy days I will fulfil. There shall be no premature deaths. All, both men and women, shall reach the term allotted to man, and die in a good old age, having fulfilled their time. Godly living, persisted in for several generations, might, perhaps, produce this result.
