John Gill Commentary Deuteronomy 30:9

"And Jehovah thy God will make thee plenteous in all the work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, for good: for Jehovah will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers;" — Deuteronomy 30:9 (ASV)

And the Lord your God will make you plenteous in every work of
your hand
In every manufacture, trade, or business of life in which they should be employed; the meaning is, that the Lord will greatly bless them in all that they shall set their hands to in a lawful way; so that they shall abound in good things, and have enough and to spare, a redundancy of the good things of life, great plenty of them: in the fruit of your body; abundance of children: and in the fruit of your cattle; a large increase of oxen and sheep:

and in the fruit of your land for good ;
it being by the blessing of God on their labours restored to its former fertility, though now barren through want of inhabitants, and the slothfulness of those that are possessed of it; for travellers observe ^F15, the soil is still good, was it properly manured and cultivated:

for the Lord will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced
over your fathers ;
particularly in the days of Solomon and David, when the people of Israel enjoyed plenty of all good things, and so they will hereafter; see (Hosea 2:15Hosea 2:21Hosea 2:22) ; The Targum of Jonathan is, ``the Word of the Lord will return to rejoice'' See (Jeremiah 32:41) .
