Deuteronomy 28:5 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.

Thy basket and thy store, х uwmish'artekaa (H4863). This word (cf. Deuteronomy 28:17; Exodus 8:3) "store" is rendered "kneading trough," Exodus 12:34. The Septuagint has: ta engkataleimmata sou-thy things reserved.] Some take it for the leather bag or wallet in which the Arabs carry their provisions (Harmer, 'Observations,'

iv., p. 368). At all events, the meaning is, there will be plenty of fruit for the basket, and meal for the kneading trough-an abundant supply of all the necessaries and comforts of life.
