Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 11:26-32

Here Moses concludes his general exhortations to obedience; and his management is very affecting, and such as, one would think, should have engaged them for ever to God, and should have left impressions upon them never to be worn out. I. He sums up all his arguments for obedience in two words, the blessing and the curse (Deut. 11:26), that is, the rewards and the punishments, as they stand in the promises and the threatenings, which are the great sanctions of the law, taking hold of hope and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 11:26

Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse ,.... Meaning the law of God, and the statutes, judgments, and commandments of it; which, if obeyed, blessings would be bestowed upon them; but if disobeyed, they would be liable to the curses of it, as the following words explain it; see Deuteronomy 30:15 everyone of the Israelites were called upon to see and consider this matter, it being an interesting one to them all. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 11:27

A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God ,.... That is, a blessing should come upon them, even all temporal blessings they stood in need of; they should be blessed in body and estate, in their families, and in their flocks, in town and country; see Deuteronomy 28:1 , which I command you this day ; afresh repeated to them, and enjoined them the observation of it in the name of the Lord. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 11:28

And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God ,.... Accursed in body and estate, in basket and store; in their families, flocks, and herds; within doors and without; in city, and country; going out, or coming in; in this world, and that to come, if divine goodness prevent not; see Deuteronomy 28:15 . but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day ; which the law he gave them, and repeated to them, directed them to walk in: to go after other gods,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 11:29

And it shall come to pass, when the Lord thy God hath bought thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it ,.... Which is often observed, as being near at hand; and when and where many things were to be done, which could not be done in the place and circumstances they now were, particularly what follows: that thou shall put the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse upon Mount Ebal ; that is, pronounce the one on one mountain, and the other on the other mountain, or at least... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 11:30

Are they not on the other side Jordan ,.... Opposite to that where Moses now was in the plains of Moab, even in Samaria; so in the Misnah F20 Sotah, c. 7. sect. 5. it is said,"as soon as Israel passed over Jordan, they came to Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal, which are in Samaria;'but those mountains were not near Jordan nor Jericho, to which the people of Israel came first, but sixty miles from thence; though they were, as Moses says, on the other side from the place they now were: by... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 11:26

Behold, I set before you - a blessing and a curse - If God had not put it in the power of this people either to obey or disobey; if they had not had a free will, over which they had complete authority, to use it either in the way of willing or nilling; could God, with any propriety, have given such precepts as these, sanctioned with such promises and threatenings? If they were not free agents, they could not be punished for disobedience, nor could they, in any sense of the word, have been... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 11:29

Thou shalt put the blessing upon Mount Gerizim, and the curse upon Mount Ebal - The etymology of these names may be supposed to cast some light on this institution. גרזים gerizzim , from גרז garaz , to cut, cut off, cut down; hence גרזים gerizzim , the cutters down, fellers, and reapers or harvest-men, this mountain being supposed to have its name from its great fertility, or the abundance of the crops it yielded, which is a possible case. Of עיבל ebal or e ybal the root is... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 11:26

Verse 26 26.Behold, I set before you this day. He now embraces the two points at once, viz., that they would be blessed if they earnestly apply themselves to the keeping of the Law, and cursed, if they shake off its yoke and revel in their lusts. But, when he says that he here sets before them a blessing and a curse, it is as much as to declare, that he does not merely tell them what is right, but that the reward is prepared if they obey; and if not, that the punishment is also at hand. Thus we... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 11:29

Verse 29 29.And it shall come to pass, when the Lord. I have lately expounded a similar passage, which, although it is subsequent in the order observed by Moses, yet, inasmuch as it sets out the matter more clearly, I have not hesitated for perspicuity’s sake to put first. I said that God’s intention was, whilst appointing the Israelites to proclaim their own condemnation, to lay them under more solemn obligation to keep the Law. If He had Himself declared His will through the Levites only,... read more
