Exodus 23:26

The Pulpit Commentary on Exodus 23:26

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

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.
