Deuteronomy 6:3
"Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it,.... Or them, the commandments given them: that it may be well with thee; in body and estate: and that ye may

increase mightily; not only in wealth and riches, but chiefly in numbers: as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee; a promise of increase of numbers was frequently made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; as that their seed should be as the stars of heaven, and as the dust of the earth, and the sand on the sea shore, innumerable; see Gen 15:5 and this especially in the land that floweth with milk and honey; a very common periphrasis of the land of Canaan, because of the plenty of good things in it; see Exo 3:8 .
