Deutéronome 11:12 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 11:12

A land which the Lord thy God careth for
In a very particular and special manner; otherwise he has a general care of the whole world, and all the parts of it; for as the earth is his, and the fulness thereof, his providential care reaches everywhere; but as this spot was what he had chosen for his own residence, and the place of his worship, and for an habitation for his peculiar people; he exercised a more peculiar care over it, to make it fruitful, commodious, and pleasant; or which "he seeketh" F9; that is, the good of it, and to make it convenient, useful, and delightful to his people; yea, which he sought for and desired for his own habitation, ( Psalms 132:13 Psalms 132:14 ) ,

the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of
the year even unto the end of the year;
his eyes of providence, to give the former and the latter rain, and that there be seedtime and harvest in their seasons, and that the fruits of it be produced at their proper time; some at the beginning, others at the end of the year, and others in the intervening months, and all wisely suited to the good of the inhabitants of it.

Deutéronome 11:12 In-Context

10 Car le pays dont tu vas entrer en possession, n'est pas comme le pays d'Egypte, d'où vous êtes sortis, où tu jetais dans les champs ta semence et les arrosais avec ton pied comme un jardin potager.
11 Le pays que vous allez posséder est un pays de montagnes et de vallées, et qui boit les eaux de la pluie du ciel;
12 c'est un pays dont l'Eternel, ton Dieu, prend soin, et sur lequel l'Eternel, ton Dieu, a continuellement les yeux, du commencement à la fin de l'année.
13 Si vous obéissez à mes commandements que je vous prescris aujourd'hui, si vous aimez l'Eternel, votre Dieu, et si vous le servez de tout votre coeur et de toute votre âme,
14 je donnerai à votre pays la pluie en son temps, la pluie de la première et de l'arrière-saison, et tu recueilleras ton blé, ton moût et ton huile;
