Context — The Promises of God
11So keep the commandments and statutes and ordinances that I am giving you to follow this day.
12If you listen to these ordinances and keep them carefully, then the LORD your God will keep His covenant and the loving devotion that He swore to your fathers.
13He will love you and bless you and multiply you. He will bless the fruit of your womb and the produce of your land—your grain, new wine, and oil, the young of your herds and the lambs of your flocks—in the land that He swore to your fathers to give you.
14You will be blessed above all peoples; among you there will be no barren man or woman or livestock. 15And the LORD will remove from you all sickness. He will not lay upon you any of the terrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but He will inflict them on all who hate you.Cross References

Gill's Exposition on Deuteronomy 7:13
And he will love thee,.... As he has done, and rest in his love, and give further instances and proofs of it: and bless thee, and multiply thee; that is bless thee with a multiplication of offspring,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Deuteronomy 7:13
Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Deuteronomy 7:13
He will love thee; he will continue to love thee, and to manifest his love to thee, he will not repent of his love to thee.
Trapp's Commentary on Deuteronomy 7:13
Deuteronomy 7:13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.Ver. 13. And he will love thee.] So he did before, but so he will continue to do. See a like expression in 1 John 5:13, "These things write I unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God, that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."
Ellicott's Commentary on Deuteronomy 7:13
(13) The flocks.—The word here employed for flocks is peculiar to Deuteronomy in this sense. It occurs in Deuteronomy 28:4; Deuteronomy 28:18; Deuteronomy 28:51. It is in form identical with Ashtaroth, and signifies “increase,” or progeny.
Cambridge Bible on Deuteronomy 7:13
13. love … bless … and multiply thee] Cp. Genesis 22:17 (E?), Genesis 26:24 (J), bless and multiply; note the characteristic addition love by D. The blessings which follow are material; similarly but varied in Deuteronomy 28:4; Deuteronomy 28:11; Deuteronomy 28:18; Deuteronomy 28:51, Deuteronomy 30:9, all Sg. Note the interesting differences in Hosea’s similar lists: bread, water, wool, flax, oil, drink, corn, wine, oil (Hosea 2:5; Hosea 2:8 f., Hosea 2:15; Hosea 2:22). Hosea, writing for the N. kingdom, gives flax, which D omits; all the rest are characteristic of Judah. Hosea’s treatment of the subject is more spiritual; he gives the moral blessings of the relation of Jehovah and Israel in greater, the material in less, detail than D. fruit of thy body] womb, as in A.V.; Genesis 30:2 (E). corn … wine … oil] Deuteronomy 11:14, Deuteronomy 12:17, Deuteronomy 14:23, Deuteronomy 28:51. The terms used denote these products in a less manufactured slate. Wine is tîrôsh not yain, corn dagan not ḥ ?iṭ ?ṭ ?im, oil yiṣ ?har not shemen. Tîrôsh, though not entirely unfermented or harmless (Hosea 4:11), was nevertheless a much fresher extract of the grape than yain, it is new wine or must; dagan is corn which has been threshed out (Numbers 18:27); and yiṣ ?har is fresh oil (abb. from Driver in loco and on pp. xx f. of his 3rd ed.). the increase of thy kine] Deuteronomy 28:4; Deuteronomy 28:18; Deuteronomy 28:51 : what drops from or is cast by, an animal; Exodus 13:12 (J) that cometh of a beast. Nowhere else.
Kine, rather cattle, the noun is masc. the young of thy flock] Lit. the ‘Ashtoreths. ‘A phrase like this, which has descended from religion into ordinary life, and is preserved among the monotheistic Hebrews, is very old evidence for the association of Astarte with the sheep.’ (W. R. Smith, Rel. of the Semites, 458.) in the land, etc.] See Deuteronomy 6:10 : after sware, Sam. and LXX read Jehovah.
Barnes' Notes on Deuteronomy 7:13
Flocks of thy sheep - Render it instead: “the ewes of thy sheep.” The phrase is unique to Deuteronomy.
Whedon's Commentary on Deuteronomy 7:13
12-15. Here is the promise of great blessings if the people will keep the commandments of Jehovah. The flocks of thy sheep — The Hebrew expression only occurs again in Deuteronomy 28:4; Deuteronomy 28:18; Deuteronomy 28:51.
