Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:15-68

The Cursings That Will Result If They Are Not Faithful To The Covenant (Deuteronomy 28:15-68 ). But once they wander outside the sphere of the covenant only cursings can await them. They will have put themselves in the same place as that already taken by those whom they had cursed in Deuteronomy 27:15-26. Those examples were but samples of a wider Law, a Law which they would now have broken. Thus they have by their ‘Amen’ themselves acknowledged that it will be right for Yahweh to curse them.... read more

The Second Sixfold Curse (Deuteronomy 28:21-29 ). This is now followed by a further sixfold curse, with each of the six, commencing (in EVV, in MT it comes second with the verb coming first for emphasis) with Yahweh’s name. Whereas the first curses where on their daily lives and mainly affected the fruitfulness of their crops and herds, resulting from famine conditions, these further curses range wider covering pestilence, disease, and sword.

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

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

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:25

25. To be smitten before thine enemies In contrast with the blessing in the seventh verse.
