6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
6 Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.
6 God's blessing in your coming in, God's blessing in your going out.
6 Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.
6 Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be blessed.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:6
Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:1-14
(Read Deuteronomy 28:1-14)
This chapter is a very large exposition of two words, the blessing and the curse. They are real things and have real effects. The blessings are here put before the curses. God is slow to anger, but swift to show mercy. It is his delight to bless. It is better that we should be drawn to what is good by a child-like hope of God's favour, than that we be frightened to it by a slavish fear of his wrath. The blessing is promised, upon condition that they diligently hearken to the voice of God. Let them keep up religion, the form and power of it, in their families and nation, then the providence of God would prosper all their outward concerns.
