Context — The Warning to Remembergenerated

10And when the LORD your God brings you into the land He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that He would give you—a land with great and splendid cities that you did not build,
11with houses full of every good thing with which you did not fill them, with wells that you did not dig, and with vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant—and when you eat and are satisfied,
12be careful not to forget the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
13Fear the LORD your God, serve Him only, and take your oaths in His name.

Deuteronomy 6:11 is part of Moses' address to the Israelites, reminding them of the blessings they will encounter in the Promised Land. This verse emphasizes the abundance they will receive, including houses, wells, vineyards, and olive groves, which they did not create themselves. It serves as a reminder to remain grateful and not forget the Lord who provided these gifts, as seen in the following verses.

The Key Word מְלֵאִ֣ים, me.le.'Imgenerated

The word מְלֵאִ֣ים (*mele'im*) is an adjective meaning 'full.' It describes the houses that will be overflowing with good things, indicating abundance and completeness. This word is derived from the root meaning to fill, and it is used to convey the idea of fullness in both literal and figurative contexts.

In this verse, it highlights the contrast between what the Israelites will receive and what they have done. The emphasis is on the blessings from God that they did not earn, reinforcing the theme of divine provision.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The structure revolves around the main clause that describes the blessings of the land, with several noun phrases detailing what those blessings are. The finite verb is implied in the context, indicating the abundance that God will provide.

The sentence flows with a series of noun phrases: 'houses full of every good thing,' 'wells that you did not dig,' and 'vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant,' illustrating the richness of the land and the gifts from God.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

In the Septuagint, the word for 'houses' is rendered as οἰκίας (*oikias*), which aligns with the Hebrew meaning but is more focused on the dwelling aspect. This choice reflects the Greek understanding of domestic space and community.

The word for 'full' is translated as πλήρεις (*plēreis*), emphasizing the concept of abundance in a way that resonates with the Greek audience.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

The other witnesses, including the Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls, generally agree with the Masoretic Text. However, the Samaritan Pentateuch uses the term 'בורות' for 'wells' and 'שׂבעת' for 'satisfied,' indicating slight variations in wording but maintaining the overall meaning.
