King James Bible
"And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;"
God promises the Israelites will inherit fully furnished homes they did not labor to stock. This emphasizes the gracious nature of the Promised Land as pure gift, not earned through their own efforts or accumulation. Access to water sources already established by previous inhabitants highlights the life-sustaining infrastructure awaiting them. In the arid Near East, wells represented generations of labor and were essential for survival and prosperity. These mature agricultural assets take years to cultivate before yielding harvest, symbolizing immediate prosperity without the typical waiting period. Both crops were economic staples in ancient Israel, providing wine, oil, and trade goods. Moses anticipates a future state of satisfaction and abundance, warning that such blessing brings spiritual danger. The phrase sets up the following verses' caution against forgetting God in times of plenty.
