For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thine hands,.... Had increased their cattle and substance, even though in a wilderness:he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness; every step they took, and he owned them and prospered them in all things in which they were concerned:these forty years the Lord thy God hath been with thee: not only to protect and defend them, but to provide all things necessary for them.
