And none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span. The covenant blessing extends to reproduction and longevity: no miscarriage, no barrenness, full life. In the ancient world, these were the most fundamental measures of divine favor — the land that produces and the family that grows. Deuteronomy 7:14 repeats the promise: none of your men or women will be childless; your livestock will not lack young. Psalm 127:3 says children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. The covenant God who created human beings to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28) is the God who promises to sustain that fruitfulness within the covenant relationship.
