וְהָיָה אִם־שָׁמוֹעַ תִּשְׁמַע בְּקוֹל יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לִשְׁמֹר לַעֲשׂוֹת אֶת־כׇּל־מִצְוֺתָיו אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוְּךָ הַיּוֹם וּנְתָנְךָ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ עֶלְיוֹן עַל כׇּל־גּוֹיֵי הָאָֽרֶץ׃
When you hearken and obey Adonoy, your God, to be sure to perform all of His commandments that I am commanding you today; Adonoy, your God, will place you superior to all the nations of the earth.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה בָּעִיר וּבָרוּךְ אַתָּה בַּשָּׂדֶֽה׃
Blessed are you in the city, and blessed are you in the field.
Blessed are you in the city, and blessed are you in the field.
בָּרוּךְ פְּרִֽי־בִטְנְךָ וּפְרִי אַדְמָתְךָ וּפְרִי בְהֶמְתֶּךָ שְׁגַר אֲלָפֶיךָ וְעַשְׁתְּרוֹת צֹאנֶֽךָ׃
Blessed is the fruit of your belly, and the produce of your soil, and the offspring of your animals, the issue of your cattle and the flocks of your sheep and goats.
Blessed is the fruit of your belly, and the produce of your soil, and the offspring of your animals, the issue of your cattle and the flocks of your sheep and goats.
Rashi
ועשתרות צאנך. כְּתַרְגּוּמוֹ. וְרַבּוֹתֵינוּ אָמְרוּ לָמָּה נִקְרָא שְׁמָם עַשְׁתָּרוֹת? שֶׁמַּעֲשִׁירוֹת אֶת בַּעֲלֵיהֶן וּמַחֲזִיקוֹת אוֹתָם כְּעַשְׁתָּרוֹת הַלָּלוּ שֶׁהֵן סְלָעִים חֲזָקִים:
And the flocks of your sheep. As Targum [Onkelos] renders. The Rabbis comment: Why are they called עַשְׁתָּרוֹת ? Because they enrich their owners and strengthen them, like the palisades, which are powerful cliffs.
בָּרוּךְ טַנְאֲךָ וּמִשְׁאַרְתֶּֽךָ׃
Blessed will be your [fruit] basket and your solid foods.
Blessed will be your [fruit] basket and your solid foods.

ברוך טנאך. פֵּרוֹתֶיךָ; דָּ"אַ — טַנְאֲךָ דָּבָר לַח שֶׁאַתָּה מְסַנֵּן בְּסַלִּים:
Blessed will be your basket. Your fruit. Another interpretation: Your basket — liquids which you filter through baskets.
ומשארתך. דָּבָר יָבֵשׁ שֶׁנִּשְׁאַר בַּכְּלִי וְאֵינוֹ זָב:
And your solid foods. Solids, which remain in the utensil without dripping.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה בְּבֹאֶךָ וּבָרוּךְ אַתָּה בְּצֵאתֶֽךָ׃
You will be blessed at your arrival, and blessed at your departure.
You will be blessed at your arrival, and blessed at your departure.
Rashi
ברוך אתה בבאך וברוך אתה בצאתך. שֶׁתְּהֵי יְצִיאָתְךָ מִן הָעוֹלָם בְּלֹא חֵטְא כְּבִיאָתְךָ לָעוֹלָם (ב"מ ק"ז):
You will be blessed at your arrival, and blessed at your departure. For your departure from the world will be without sin, like your arrival into the world.
יִתֵּן יְהֹוָה אֶת־אֹיְבֶיךָ הַקָּמִים עָלֶיךָ נִגָּפִים לְפָנֶיךָ בְּדֶרֶךְ אֶחָד יֵצְאוּ אֵלֶיךָ וּבְשִׁבְעָה דְרָכִים יָנוּסוּ לְפָנֶֽיךָ׃
Adonoy will set your enemies who rise against you smitten before you; by one road will they approach you, but by seven roads they will flee from you.

ובשבעה דרכים ינוסו לפניך. כֵּן דֶּרֶךְ הַנִּבְהָלִים לִבְרֹחַ, מִתְפַּזְּרִין לְכָל צַד:
But by seven roads they will flee from you. This is the way the panic-stricken flee — by scattering in every direction.
יְצַו יְהֹוָה אִתְּךָ אֶת־הַבְּרָכָה בַּאֲסָמֶיךָ וּבְכֹל מִשְׁלַח יָדֶךָ וּבֵרַכְךָ בָּאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר־יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵן לָֽךְ׃

יִפְתַּח יְהֹוָה ׀ לְךָ אֶת־אוֹצָרוֹ הַטּוֹב אֶת־הַשָּׁמַיִם לָתֵת מְטַֽר־אַרְצְךָ בְּעִתּוֹ וּלְבָרֵךְ אֵת כׇּל־מַעֲשֵׂה יָדֶךָ וְהִלְוִיתָ גּוֹיִם רַבִּים וְאַתָּה לֹא תִלְוֶֽה׃
Adonoy will open for you His good storehouse, the sky, to give you your land’s rain on time and to bless all your endeavors; and you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow.

וּנְתָֽנְךָ יְהֹוָה לְרֹאשׁ וְלֹא לְזָנָב וְהָיִיתָ רַק לְמַעְלָה וְלֹא תִהְיֶה לְמָטָּה כִּֽי־תִשְׁמַע אֶל־מִצְוֺת ׀ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוְּךָ הַיּוֹם לִשְׁמֹר וְלַעֲשֽׂוֹת׃

שגר אלפיך. וַלְדוֹת בְּקָרְךָ, שֶׁהַבְּהֵמָה מְשַׁגֶּרֶת מִמֵּעֶיהָ:
The issue of your cattle. The offspring of your cattle, which the animal sends forth from her stomach.
