The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:9

Established. Probation, in the case of the faithful, ends in establishment. If Israel would keep the commandments, God would "perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle" them as "an holy people" to himself, and so confirm the promises made to the fathers. A like promise to the Church and to Christians ( Acts 16:5 ; Romans 1:11 ; Colossians 2:7 ; Hebrews 13:9 ; 1 Peter 5:10 ; 2 Peter 1:12 ). Establishment is: 1. Unto holiness. 2. A result of God naming his Name upon his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:10

Thou art called by the name of the Lord ; rather, the Name of Jehovah called upon thee. The Name of God is God himself as revealed; and this Name is called or named upon men when they are adopted by him, made wholly his, and transformed into his likeness. This blessing Israel enjoyed as a nation—"Theirs was the adoption and the glory" ( Romans 9:4 )—but it was theirs only in symbol and in shadow ( Hebrews 10:1 ); the reality belongs only to the spiritual Israel, and this came to men in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:10

The world afraid of the godly. I. GOD 'S PEOPLE CALLED BY HIS NAME . God calls or names his Name upon them, i . e . distinguishes, owns, chooses, recognizes them as his, by dwelling among them ( 2 Corinthians 3:16 ), by causing his blessing to rest upon them, by answering their prayers, by favoring their cause, by establishing their work ( Psalms 90:13-17 ). "God is love" ( 1 John 4:8 ). His "Name" expresses pre-eminently that attribute of his character ( Exodus... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 28:1-14

A comparison of this chapter with Exodus 23:20-23 and Leviticus 26:0 will show how Moses here resumes and amplifies the promises and threats already set forth in the earlier records of the Law. The language rises in this chapter to the sublimest strains, especially in the latter part of it; and the prophecies respecting the dispersion and degradation of the Jewish nation in its later days are among the most remarkable in scripture. They are plain, precise, and circumstantial; and the... read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 28:9-10

Deuteronomy 28:9-10. Establish thee Shall confirm his covenant with thee, by which he separated thee to himself as a holy and peculiar people. Called by the name of the Lord That you are in truth his people and children: a most excellent and glorious people, under the peculiar care and countenance of the great God. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:1-68

Obedience and disobedience (28:1-68)Further blessings and curses are now listed. These were connected more with the life of the people as a whole and were directly dependent on the people’s obedience or disobedience. The blessings mainly concerned agricultural prosperity, family happiness, victory over enemies and honour in the eyes of other nations (28:1-10). God’s assurance that he would supply their needs was linked to a warning. They were not to look for family increase or agricultural... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 28:10

Ver. 10. And all people—shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord— i.e. Shall be convinced that you are, after a peculiar manner, the Lord's people; for to be called by God's name, and to be His, are all one. Jer 25:29. 1 Chronicles 13:6. Acts 15:17. So, when Jacob says, that his name should be named on the two sons of Joseph, the meaning is, that they should be accounted his, as Reuben and Simeon were. Genesis 48:16. See Joseph Mede, disc. 1: p. 7. read more
