SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:21
para que sean aumentados vuestros días, y los días de vuestros hijos, sobre la tierra que jurķ el SEŅOR a vuestros padres que les había de dar, como los días de los cielos sobre la tierra.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 21. That your days may be multiplied , etc.] Long life being a very desirable blessing, and which is promised to those that obey and keep the law; (see Deuteronomy 30:19,20 Psalm 91:16) 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 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 goo 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 u religion in a nation, than the good education of children.
