וְהָיָה ׀ עֵקֶב תִּשְׁמְעוּן אֵת הַמִּשְׁפָּטִים הָאֵלֶּה וּשְׁמַרְתֶּם וַעֲשִׂיתֶם אֹתָם וְשָׁמַר יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לְךָ אֶֽת־הַבְּרִית וְאֶת־הַחֶסֶד אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע לַאֲבֹתֶֽיךָ׃
In the future, as a consequence of your heeding these laws, and your guarding and fulfilling them; Adonoy, your God, will guard for you the covenant and the kindliness that He swore to your forefathers.

Rashi
ושמר ה' וגו'. יִשְׁמֹר לְךָ הַבְטָחָתוֹ (עי' תנחומא):
Adonoy, your God will preserve. . . He will keep his promise to you.
וַאֲהֵבְךָ וּבֵרַכְךָ וְהִרְבֶּךָ וּבֵרַךְ פְּרִֽי־בִטְנְךָ וּפְרִֽי־אַדְמָתֶךָ דְּגָנְךָ וְתִירֹשְׁךָ וְיִצְהָרֶךָ שְׁגַר־אֲלָפֶיךָ וְעַשְׁתְּרֹת צֹאנֶךָ עַל הָֽאֲדָמָה אֲשֶׁר־נִשְׁבַּע לַאֲבֹתֶיךָ לָתֶת לָֽךְ׃
He will love you, and bless you, and multiply you; and He will bless the fruit of your belly and the fruit of your soil—your grain, your wine, and your olive oil—the offspring of your cattle, and the herds of your sheep, upon the soil that He swore to your forefathers to give you.

Rashi
שגר אלפיך. וַלְדֵי בְקָרְךָ שֶׁהַנְּקֵבָה מְשַׁגֶּרֶת מִמֵּעֶיהָ:
The offspring of your cattle. The young of your cattle which the female casts out from her womb.
ועשתרת צאנך. מְנַחֵם פֵּרֵשׁ "אַבִּירֵי בָשָׁן" (תהילים כ"ב) – מִבְחַר הַצֹּאן, כְּמוֹ "בְּעַשְׁתְּרֹת קַרְנַיִם" (בראשית י"ד), לְשׁוֹן חֹזֶק, וְאֻנְקְלוֹס תִּרְגֵּם "וְעֶדְרֵי עָנָךְ". וְרַבּוֹתֵינוּ אָמְרוּ לָמָּה נִקְרָא שְׁמָם עַשְׁתָּרוֹת? שֶׁמַּעֲשִׁירוֹת אֶת בַּעֲלֵיהֶן (חולין פ"ד):
And the herds of your sheep. Menachem (ben Seruk) explains that אַבִּירֵי בָּשָׁן (the strong bulls of Bashan) means the choicest of the flock, similar to עַשְׁתְּרֹת קַרְנַיִם, which expresses strength. Onkelos translates it as herds of your sheep. Our Sages said: “Why are they called עַשְׁתָּרֹת ? “Because they enrich their owners.”
בָּרוּךְ תִּֽהְיֶה מִכׇּל־הָעַמִּים לֹא־יִהְיֶה בְךָ עָקָר וַֽעֲקָרָה וּבִבְהֶמְתֶּֽךָ׃
You will be blessed more than all the peoples; there will not be among you a sterile male or a barren female, nor among your animals.
You will be blessed more than all the peoples; there will not be among you a sterile male or a barren female, nor among your animals.
Rashi
עקר. שֶׁאֵינוֹ מוֹלִיד:
A sterile male — who cannot beget children.
וְהֵסִיר יְהֹוָה מִמְּךָ כׇּל־חֹלִי וְכׇל־מַדְוֵי מִצְרַיִם הָרָעִים אֲשֶׁר יָדַעְתָּ לֹא יְשִׂימָם בָּךְ וּנְתָנָם בְּכׇל־שֹׂנְאֶֽיךָ׃
Adonoy will remove from you all illness; and all the harmful diseases of Egypt that you know, He will not place upon you, but will give them to all your enemies.

וְאָכַלְתָּ אֶת־כׇּל־הָֽעַמִּים אֲשֶׁר יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵן לָךְ לֹא־תָחוֹס עֵֽינְךָ עֲלֵיהֶם וְלֹא תַעֲבֹד אֶת־אֱלֹהֵיהֶם כִּֽי־מוֹקֵשׁ הוּא לָֽךְ׃ {ס}
You will consume all the peoples that Adonoy, your God, is giving you; do not take pity on them. Do not serve their gods, because they are a snare for you.

והיה עקב תשמעון. אִם הַמִּצְווֹת קַלּוֹת שֶׁאָדָם דָּשׁ בַּעֲקֵבָיו תשמעון.
In the future, as a consequence of your heeding. If, even the lesser commandments which a person [sometimes] treads on with his heels, you will heed, [then] —
