And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
And he will love you, and bless you, and make you numerous: he will also bless your children, and the crops of your land, your grain, your wine, and your olive oil, and the offspring of your cattle and the flocks of your sheep, in the land which he promised to your ancestors to give you.
God is promising to show his love through abundant blessings, children, crops, and livestock, in the land he promised to give his people.
