Deuteronomy 28:32

Deuteronomy 28:32 -

And there shall be no might in thine hand . Keil proposes to render here, "Thy hand shall not be to thee towards God;" and others, "Thy hand shall not be to thee for God," i . e . instead of God. But אֵל here is not "the Mighty One, God; but simply" might, strength, power," as in Genesis 31:29 ; Proverbs 3:27 ; Micah 2:1 . Literally rendered, the words are, And not for might is thy hand , the meaning of which is well expressed in the Authorized Version.
