Commentary

Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:5

Theological / Devotional

Basket. Jewish commentators refer this to the vessels in which bread and fruit were kept. It refers to the daily food supplies of the children of Israel, the promise being that they would not lack their daily needs.

Store. Jewish commentators apply this to the kneading trough, in which was kept that part of the food not yet ready for use. This promise assures Israel there will be no lack, but always something in store for use. Compare the widow’s vessel of oil (2 Kings 4:6).
