Blessing Follows Obedience
Commentators like John Calvin emphasize that this promise is conditional, directly linked to the blessings and curses outlined in Deuteronomy 28. The declaration of being a 'delightsome land' is not automatic; it is the result of the people's repentance and return to faithful obedience, as called for in the preceding verses. God's blessing follows their renewed commitment.
