Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

Exodus 23:26

Verse Exodus 23:26. There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren] Hence there must be a very great increase both of men and cattle.

The number of thy days I will fulfil.] Ye shall all live to a good old age, and none die before his time. This is the blessing of the righteous, for wicked men live not out half their days; Psalms 55:23.
