Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 28:63

Deuteronomy 28:63. The Lord will rejoice over you, to destroy you His just indignation against you will be so great, that it will be a pleasure to him to take vengeance on you. For though he doth not delight in the death of a sinner in itself, yet he doth delight in glorifying his justice upon incorrigible transgressors, seeing the exercise of all his attributes must needs please him, else he were not perfectly happy. And ye shall be plucked from off the land, &c. This was fulfilled... 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

Afterwards, when the Emperor Adrian had subdued the rebellious... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 28:15-68

D. The curses that follow disobedience to general stipulations 28:15-68In this section Moses identified about four times as many curses as he had listed previous blessings (Deuteronomy 28:1-14). The lists of curses in other ancient Near Eastern treaty texts typically were longer than the lists of blessings. [Note: Gordon J. Wenham, "The Structure and Date of Deuteronomy" (Ph.D. dissertation, University of London, 1969), p. 161.] The reason was probably to stress the seriousness of violating the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 28:58-68

The fifth view shows Israel deprived of all the benefits she had formerly enjoyed (cf. Deuteronomy 6:21-23; Deuteronomy 26:5-9). This section deals with disease and disasters in the land (Deuteronomy 28:58-63) and deportation from the land (Deuteronomy 28:64-68). Both parts picture a reversal of Exodus blessings.In the later history of Israel the punishments God predicted here took place very literally when the people disobeyed His law. What Moses described in Deuteronomy 28:32-36 happened in... read more
