Gill's Exposition on Deuteronomy 28:6
Blessed [shalt] thou [be] when thou comest in, and blessed [shalt] thou [be] when thou goest out.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Deuteronomy 28:6
Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:6
i.e. In all thy affairs and administrations, which are oft expressed by this phrase, as 9:28.
Trapp's Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:6
Deuteronomy 28:6 Blessed [shalt] thou [be] when thou comest in, and blessed [shalt] thou [be] when thou goest out.Ver. 6. Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in.] "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow thee all the days of thy life"; thou shalt have a confluence of all, both inward and outward, comforts and contentments.
Ellicott's Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:6
(6) When thou comest in . . . and when thou goest out.—These words may apply to the details of life, or they may have a further meaning, as the eisodus of Christ was His entrance into this world’s labour, and His exodus His departure (Acts 13:24; Luke 9:31). Rashi says, “So that thy departure from the world shall be like thine entrance into it, sinless.” (The Jews, as a whole, do not believe in original sin.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:6
Verse 6. When thou comest in] From thy employment, thou shalt find that no evil has happened to the family or dwelling in thy absence. When thou goest out] Thy way shall be made prosperous before thee, and thou shalt have the Divine blessing in all thy labours.
Cambridge Bible on Deuteronomy 28:6
6. Cp. Deuteronomy 31:2, Joshua 14:11, 1 Kings 3:7, Psalms 121:8.
Whedon's Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:6
3-6. Blessed shall thou be — The manifold blessings in all the relations of life are expressed by six beatitudes.
