The Lord will decree blessing for you with respect to your barns and in everything you do—yes, he will bless you in the land he[a] is giving you. The Lord will designate you as his holy people just as he promised you, if you keep his commandments[b] and obey him.[c] 10 Then all the peoples of the earth will see that you belong to the Lord,[d] and they will respect you.

Footnotes

  1. Deuteronomy 28:8 tn Heb “the Lord your God.” Because English would not typically reintroduce the proper name following a relative pronoun (“he will bless…the Lord your God is giving”), the pronoun (“he”) has been employed here in the translation.
  2. Deuteronomy 28:9 tn Heb “the commandments of the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in the previous verse.
  3. Deuteronomy 28:9 tn Heb “and walk in his ways” (so NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).
  4. Deuteronomy 28:10 tn Heb “the name of the Lord is called over you.” The Hebrew idiom indicates ownership; see 2 Sam 12:28; Isa 4:1, as well as BDB 896 s.v. קָרָא Niph. 2.d.(4).
