F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:1-19

Blessings upon the Obedient Deuteronomy 28:1-19 A remarkable chapter! The epitome of what Israel might have been, contrasted with what she became! It is on account of the transgressions that the centuries have augmented her sum of misery. Oh, that we may never have to lament what we might have been! These opening verses contain the Beatitudes of the Old Testament. They have their counterparts in the New. Remember that God bends over your life, rejoicing to do you good, and finding pleasure... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 28:1-68

We now come to the commencement of the third discourse of Moses. It was pre-eminently the uttering of solemn warnings in which he laid before the people the results of disobedience and rebellion. He spoke first, however, of the blessings which would follow obedience. They were to have national pre-eminence. Temporal blessings of all kinds would abound. They were to have victory over their enemies in time of war. The purpose of their King, Jehovah, it was plainly declared, was to fill them with... read more

VIII. BLESSINGS AND CURSINGS WITH RESPECT TO THE COVENANT (Deuteronomy 28:1 to Deuteronomy 29:1 ). Chapter 28 Covenant Blessings and Cursings. It should be noted that verse 1 is not an invitation to enter into covenant. The offer of the covenant had already been made by Yahweh out of His lovingkindness, and had been accepted by Israel in Exodus 24:0, as confirmed in the last chapter, Deuteronomy 27:0. This is a promise and a warning subsequent to the covenant concerning the consequence of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:1-14

Deuteronomy 28. Blessings and Curses.— This chapter is held by Kuenen, Dillmann, Driver, Addis, etc. to belong in the main to D ( Deuteronomy 28:12-Ezekiel : or Deuteronomy 28:5-Ezekiel :?). In favour of this conclusion note: ( a) Moses speaks in the first person as in Deuteronomy 28:5-Ezekiel :. ( b) It forms a fitting hortatory conclusion to Deuteronomy 28:12-Ezekiel : (or Deuteronomy 28:5-Ezekiel :); cf. Exodus 23:20-Micah :, and Leviticus 26:3-John :, which close the Book of the... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:1-68

CRITICAL NOTES.—Moses now enlarges and gives the blessings and curses in detail (cf. Exodus 23:20-23 and Leviticus 26:0.) The blessings are declared in fourteen verses; the curses require nearly four times as many. Thus here again the curse is the more conspicuous feature in the law Speak. Com. Obedience the condition of blessing and this is repeated at beginning (Deuteronomy 28:2) middle (29) and close (Deuteronomy 28:13-14) in positive and energetic form.Deuteronomy 28:1-6. Blessings actual... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 28:1-68

Deuteronomy 28:5 . Blessed shall be thy basket. The LXX read, thy barns and thy store. Deuteronomy 28:24 . The Lord shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust. Our oriental travellers say in succession, that when hurricanes happen in the sandy deserts, they carry the fine sands high in the air, and rain on cities and villages the dust, which penetrates every corner of the houses where the air has access. They often bury camels and asses in the deserts, and form ridges and hills... read more

Deuteronomy 28:3Blessed shalt thou be in the city. Blessed in the cityThe city is full of care, and he who has to go there from day to day finds it to be a place of great wear and tear. It is full of noise, and stir, and bustle, and sore travail: many are its temptations, losses, and worries. But to go there with the Divine blessing takes off the edge of its difficulty; to remain there with that blessing is to find pleasure in its duties, and strength equal to its demands. A blessing in the... read more
