Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:28

The Lord shall smite thee with madness - שגעון shiggaon , distraction, so that thou shalt not know what to do. And blindness - עורון ivvaron , blindness, both physical and mental; the גרב garab , ( Deuteronomy 28:27 ;), destroying their eyes, and the judgments of God confounding their understandings. Astonishment - תמהון timmahon , stupidity and amazement. By the just judgments of God they were so completely confounded, as not to discern the means by which they... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:29

Thou shalt be only oppressed, etc. - Perhaps no people under the sun have been more oppressed and spoiled than the rebellious Jews. Indeed, this has been their portion, with but little intermission, for nearly 1,800 years. And still they grope at noon day, as the blind gropeth in darkness - they do not yet discover, notwithstanding the effulgence of the light by which they are encompassed, that the rejection of their own Messiah is the cause of all their calamities. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:30

Thou shalt betroth a wife, etc. - Can any heart imagine any thing more grievous than the evils threatened in this and the following verses? To be on the brink of all social and domestic happiness, and then to be suddenly deprived of all, and see an enemy possess and enjoy every thing that was dear to them, must excite them to the utmost pitch of distraction and madness. They have, it is true, grievously sinned; but, O ye Christians, have they not grievously suffered for it? Is not the stroke... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:32

Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people - In several countries, particularly in Spain and Portugal, the children of the Jews have been taken from them by order of government, and educated in the Popish faith. There have been some instances of Jewish children being taken from their parents even in Protestant countries. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:15

Verse 15 15.But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken. This list of curses is longer than the previous one which was proclaimed from Mount Sinai, undoubtedly because the Spirit of God foresaw that the sluggishness of the people had need of sharper stimulants. If they had been only moderately teachable, what they had already heard would have been even more than sufficient to alarm them; but now God redoubles His threatenings against them in their inertness and forgetfulness, that they... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:19

Verse 19 19.Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in. God here pronounces that all their undertakings should meet with ill success; for going out and coming in signifies their various actions, and the whole course of their life; and this is more clearly expressed in the next verse, where He denounces against them misfortune in all their affairs, in that God would confound and mar whatever they should undertake. The words (237) מהומה, mehumah, and מגערת, migegnereth, are indeed variously... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:21

Verse 21 21.The Lord shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee. He now proceeds to diseases which are as it were the lictors of God; and finally, His executioners, if men pertinaciously continue in their ungodliness. He does not, therefore, merely declare that He will send the pestilence, but that He will cause it to cleave to them, and when it shall have once laid hold of them, that it shall be impossible to remove it. It might also be translated, The Lord shall cause that the pestilence... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:23

Verse 23 23.And thy heaven that is over thy head. He enumerates other causes of barrenness, and especially drought. Often does God by the Prophets, desirous of giving a token of His favor towards the people, promise them the rain of autumn and of spring: the one immediately following the sowing, the other giving growth to the fruits before they begin to ripen; whilst in many passages He also threatens that it should be withheld. To this refers what He now says, that the heavens shall be of... read more
