Deutéronome 7:13-15 BDS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:12-26

Here, I. The caution against idolatry is repeated, and against communion with idolaters: ?Thou shalt consume the people, and not serve their gods.? Deut. 7:16. We are in danger of having fellowship with the works of darkness if we take pleasure in fellowship with those that do those works. Here is also a repetition of the charge to destroy the images, Deut. 7:25, 26. The idols which the heathen had worshipped were an abomination to God, and therefore must be so to them: all that truly love God... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:13

And he will love thee ,.... As he has done, and rest in his love, and give further instances and proofs of it: and bless thee, and multiply thee ; that is bless thee with a multiplication of offspring, which was what was often promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; that their seed should be as the stars of heaven, the dust of the earth, and the sand of the sea: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb ; not only give strength to conceive, but carry on the pregnancy, preserve the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:14

Thou shalt be blessed above all people ,.... Even with temporal blessings, besides those of a religious kind; they having the oracles of God, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises, Romans 3:1 , there shall not be male or female barren among you ; which to be was reckoned a reproach, and the contrary a blessing, Luke 1:25 Psalm 128:3 . or among your cattle ; the Targum of Jonathan is, nor thy beasts barren of wool, and milk, and lambs. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:15

And will take away from thee all sickness ,.... Bodily sickness and diseases, prevent the coming of them, or remove them when come: and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt which thou knowest upon thee ; meaning either the plagues that were inflicted upon them to oblige them to let the Israelites go, of which they had perfect knowledge; or else some noxious and nauseous diseases, which were common among, and peculiar to, the Egyptians, particularly what is called the botch of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:9-16

The Divine veracity. Moses here speaks of the Divine faithfulness to those that love him, and also to those that hate him. Those who love him will have his mercy unto a thousand generations; those who hate him will have their hatred returned. He will repay such to their face. Let us look at the Divine veracity in the two aspects of blessing and of judgment. I. GOD 'S GRATITUDE FOR MAN 'S LOVE . God has a love of sovereignty, as we have just seen, which has no reason but... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:12-15

Temporal prosperity a result of obedience to Divine Law. The aged lawgiver in this paragraph shows the people how largely their well-being depends on obedience to God, and also to what an extent that welt-being would be manifest even in temporal matters; in the healthfulness of body which would be enjoyed by them, and in the success with which they should tend their flocks and herds. They should be free from the sicknesses and diseases with which Egypt abounded ; and should , ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:12-16

The rewards of obedience. If Israel fulfilled its vocation, in keeping itself separate from the idolatries of the heathen, and in destroying them from the land; if further, in possession of the land, it adhered to God's commands, God would make his blessing rest on it in every sphere and department of existence. I. TEMPORAL PROSPERITY IS A LEGITIMATE OBJECT OF DESIRE . Otherwise it could not be named as part of the blessing, nor could the hope of it be held out as an... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:12-26

Reward in proportion to arduous service. The enterprise upon which the Jews were entering was one of prodigious difficulty. They had to contend at the same time with stalwart human foes, and with the internal foes of evil lust. Here was a splendid field for eternal renown. In proportion to the difficulty of the enterprise would be the glory of success. I. OBSERVE THE DISCOURAGING ASPECTS OF THE UNDERTAKING . 1. Their adversaries were more numerous than they .

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:13

This favor would take effect in a blessing on the fruit of the womb, the produce of the field, and the increase of their flocks and herds (comp. Exodus 23:25-27 ). Thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. These comprise the fruitful products of the soil, and in their combination express general fertility and abundance. By corn ( דִנָן ) is undoubtedly to be understood the cereal products generally used for food. It may be doubted if tirosh ( תִרוֹשׂ ), properly means wine. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:15

The mercy of God should be showed to them also in preserving them from sickness, especially of a virulent and dangerous kind, such as they had seen in Egypt, where disease has in all ages readily assumed a malignant character ('Encyc. Brit.,' art. 'Egypt'), and where especially cutaneous diseases of the worst kind prevail (comp. Deuteronomy 38:27). Such diseases the Lord would rather cause to fall on their enemies. read more
