Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 12. - Careth for; literally, searcheth or inquireth after, i.e. thinks about and cares for (LXX., ἐπισκοπεῖται, oversees; cf. Job 3:4; Psalm 142:4; Jeremiah 30:17; Ezekiel 34:8; Isaiah 62:12). The eyes of the Lord thy God; i.e. his special watchful providence (cf. Psalm 33:18; Psalm 34:15; Ezekiel 4:5). It was a land on which Jehovah's regard was continually fixed, over which he watched with unceasing care, and which was sustained by his bounty; a land, therefore, wholly dependent on him, and so a fitting place for a people also wholly dependent on him, who owed to his grace all that they were and had.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) A land which the Lord thy God careth for.--Literally, seeketh, as in the margin of our Bibles. Comp. Ezekiel 20:6 : "A land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands." "To search out a resting-place for them" (Numbers 10:33). It is difficult not to think of the better land in this description, and of our Saviour's promise, "I go to prepare a place for you." There "the poor and needy" shall not "seek water," for "He shall lead them to living fountains of water." They shall "hunger no more, neither thirst any more."That something unusual is indicated here seems to have occurred to the old Jewish writer, who says--"And does He not seek out all lands? as it is said, 'To cause it to rain on the earth where no man is'" (Job 38:26).
