Flocks of thy sheep - Render it instead: “the ewes of thy sheep.” The phrase is unique to Deuteronomy. The Hebrew word for “ewes” is the plural form of Ashtoreth, the well-known name of the “goddess of the Zidonians” 1Ki 11:5. This goddess, called by the Classical writers “Astarte,” and identified with “Venus,” represented the fruitfulness of nature.

13. love … bless … and multiply thee] Cp. Gen_22:17 (E?), Gen_26:24 (J), bless and multiply; note the characteristic addition love by D. The blessings which follow are material; similarly but varied in Deu_28:4; Deu_28:11; Deu_28:18; Deu_28:51, Deu_30:9, all Sg. Note the interesting differences in Hosea’s similar lists: bread, water, wool, flax, oil, drink, corn, wine, oil (Hos_2:5; Hos_2:8 f., Hos_2:15; Hos_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.; Gen_30:2 (E).

corn … wine … oil] Deu_11:14, Deu_12:17, Deu_14:23, Deu_28:51. The terms used denote these products in a less manufactured slate. Wine is tîrôsh not yain, corn dagan not ḥiṭṭim, oil yiṣhar not shemen. Tîrôsh, though not entirely unfermented or harmless (Hos_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 (Num_18:27); and yiṣhar is fresh oil (abb. from Driver in loco and on pp. xx f. of his 3rd ed.).
the increase of thy kine] Deu_28:4; Deu_28:18; Deu_28:51 : what drops from or is cast by, an animal; Exo_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 Deu_6:10 : after sware, Sam. and LXX read Jehovah.

The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain This favor would take effect in a blessing on…
This favor would take effect in a blessing on the fruit of the womb, the produce of the field, and the increase of their flocks and herds. (Exo_23:25-27) Thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. These comprise the fruitful products of the soil, and in their combination express general fertility and abundance. By corn (ndi) is undoubtedly to be understood the cereal products generally used for food. It may be doubted if tirosh (cwOrti), properly means wine. The word is often rendered in the Authorized Version by new wine, and this is the meaning generally given in the lexicons. As, however, it is almost constantly joined with corn and oil, the immediate products of the soil at least as unchanged by any process or manufacture it is rather to be regarded as designating ripe grapes than wine. That, moreover, which was to be gathered, (Deu_11:14) which might be tithed , (Deu_12:17 Deu_14:23) which might be described as fruit, (2Ch_31:5) as being in the cluster, (Isa_65:8) and as capable of being dried up or parched, (Joe_1:10 and trodden, Mic_7:15) could not be a fluid like fermented nine. As the grape juice, however, was that from which wine was elicited, tirosh is sometimes used tropically for wine. (Isa_62:8; Hos_4:11) Just as corn is used for bread (Lam_2:12; Hos_7:14) The oil here mentioned, and elsewhere joined with dagan and tirosh, is the pure fresh olive oil (rh; xyi, from rhx; to shine), obtained by pressure from the berries of the olive, and used for food as well as for other purposes by the Jews. (see notes on Deu_8:8) Flocks of thy sheep. The Hebrew is very peculiar here; the same expression occurs only in this book. (Deu_28:4, Deu_28:18, Deu_28:51) Literally rendered, it is the Astartes (Ashtaroth) of thy sheep. Kimchi says it means "the females of the sheep" (axh twbqn), and this Gesenius adopts, rendering the phrase by "ewes." Astarte ("Ash-toreth, plu. "Ashtaroth) was the Phoenician Venus, and it is supposed that the females of the flock were called Astartes orVenuses, as propagating the flock. There is, however, another way of explaining the word as here used, by referring it to a root ashar (rv;), signifying to be multiplied, to be rich; whence the name given to the females as the multipliers of the flock, without any reference to Astarte.
