Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The sense is: "Keep the covenant faithfully, and so shall your own and your children's days be multiplied as long as the heaven covers the earth." The promise of Canaan to Israel was thus a perpetual promise, but also a conditional one.


Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

That your days may be multiplied,.... Long life being a very desirable blessing, and which is promised to those that obey and keep the law; see Deuteronomy 30:19.

and the days of your children; which are dear to parents, and the continuance of whose lives, next to their own, is most desirable, yea, as desirable as their own; and especially it is desirable that they might have a posterity descending from them, to enjoy for ever their estates and possessions; as it was to the people of Israel, that they might have a seed always to dwell

in the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give them; the land of Canaan, so often spoken of as the promise, oath, and gift of God:

as the days of heaven upon the earth; that is, as long as the heavens and the earth shall be, and the one shall be over the other, as they will be to the end of time.


Geneva Study Bible

That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as {g} the days of heaven upon the earth.

(g) As long as the heavens and earth endure, 2Pe 3:10,12.


Wesley's Notes

11:21 As the days of heaven - As long as the heaven keeps its place and continues its influences upon earth.


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

11:18-25 Let all be directed by the three rules here given. 1. Let our hearts be filled with the word of God. There will not be good practices in the life, unless there be good thoughts, good affections, and good principles in the heart. 2. Let our eyes be fixed upon the word of God, having constant regard to it as the guide of our way, as the rule of our work, Ps 119:30. 3. Let our tongues be employed about the word of God. Nor will any thing do more to cause prosperity, and keeping up religion in a nation, than the good education of children.


Psalm 72:5 He will endure as long as the sun, as long as the moon, through all generations.
Psalm 89:29 I will establish his line forever, his throne as long as the heavens endure.
Proverbs 3:2 for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity.
Proverbs 4:10 Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many.
Proverbs 9:11 For through me your days will be many, and years will be added to your life.
