11 May the Lord, the God of your ancestors, increase you a thousand times and bless you as he has promised!
11 (The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)
11 May the Lord, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are and bless you, as he has promised you!
11 And may God, the God-of-Your-Fathers, keep it up and multiply you another thousand times, bless you just as he promised.
11 May the Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times more numerous than you are, and bless you as He has promised you!
11 And may the Lord, the God of your ancestors, multiply you a thousand times more and bless you as he promised!
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 1:11
Commentary on Deuteronomy 1:9-18
(Read Deuteronomy 1:9-18)
Moses reminds the people of the happy constitution of their government, which might make them all safe and easy, if it was not their own fault. He owns the fulfilment of God's promise to Abraham, and prays for the further accomplishment of it. We are not straitened in the power and goodness of God; why should we be straitened in our own faith and hope? Good laws were given to the Israelites, and good men were to see to the execution of them, which showed God's goodness to them, and the care of Moses.
