Contextual Overview

8You shall therefore keep every commandment I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and possess the land you are to inherit, 9and so that you may live long in the land the LORD swore to your fathers to give them and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.10For the land you are entering to possess is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and irrigated on foot, like a vegetable garden. 11But the land you are entering to possess is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks in the rain from heaven. 12It is a land the LORD your God cares for; the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning to the end of the year. 13So if you carefully obey the commandments I am giving you today, to love the LORD your God and to serve Him with all your heart and all your soul, 14then I will provide rain for your land in season, the autumn and spring rains, that you may gather your grain, new wine, and oil. 15And I will provide grass in the fields for your livestock, and you will eat and be satisfied. 16But be careful that you are not enticed to turn aside to worship and bow down to other gods, 17or the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you. He will shut the heavens so that there will be no rain, nor will the land yield its produce, and you will soon perish from the good land the LORD is giving you.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And that ye may prolong your days in the land,.... Not only enter it, and take possession of it, but continue in it long, which depended upon their obedience to the laws of God:

which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed; had promised with an oath, so that they might be assured of the enjoyment of it, though they could not be of their continuance in it, unless they obeyed the divine commands:

a land that floweth with milk and honey; abounds with all good things, whose fruits are fat as milk, and sweet as honey; so the Targum of Jonathan.
