Commentary on Deuteronomy 6:3
Moses urges 'Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it.' The imperative to hear (shema) appears again, emphasizing that hearing must lead to doing. The promised result—'that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily'—connects obedience to flourishing. The description of Canaan as 'a land flowing with milk and honey' uses covenant language from God's promise to the patriarchs (Exodus 3:8). Milk and honey represent agricultural abundance—milk from livestock, honey from date palms and bees—indicating a land capable of supporting numerous people.
