Chapter 28Now as we come into chapter twenty-eight,It shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently [You see the condition. If you hearken diligently] unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and do all his commandments ( Deuteronomy 28:1 )You get this over and over again because this was the condition of the covenant. Whereby they could have this land and dwell there. This was the condition of God's blessing; it was the obedience to the commandments of God.that God will set thee... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 28:1-68

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

Deuteronomy 28:3Blessed shalt thou be in the city. Blessed in the cityThe city is full of care, and he who has to go there from day to day finds it to be a place of great wear and tear. It is full of noise, and stir, and bustle, and sore travail: many are its temptations, losses, and worries. But to go there with the Divine blessing takes off the edge of its difficulty; to remain there with that blessing is to find pleasure in its duties, and strength equal to its demands. A blessing in the... read more

Deuteronomy 28:5Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.A blessing on basket and storeObedience brings a blessing on all the provisions which our industry earns for us. That which comes in and goes out at once, like fruit in the basket which is for immediate use, shall be blessed; and that which is laid by with us for a longer season shall equally receive a blessing. Perhaps ours is a hand basket portion. We have a little for breakfast, and a scanty bite for dinner in a basket when we go out... read more

Deuteronomy 28:12The Lord shall open unto thee His good treasure.The Lord’s treasureThis refers first to the rain. The Lord will give this in its season. Rain is the emblem of all those celestial refreshings which the Lord is ready to bestow upon His people. Oh, for a copious shower to refresh the Lord’s heritage! We seem to think that God’s treasury can only be opened by a great prophet like Elijah, but it is not so, for this promise is to all the faithful in Israel, and, indeed, to each one... read more

Deuteronomy 28:13The head, and not the tail.The saints leading the wayIf we obey the Lord He will compel our adversaries to see that His blessing rests upon us. Though this be a promise of the law, yet it stands good to the people of God; for Jesus has removed the curse, but He has established the blessing. It is for saints to lead the way among men by holy influence: they are not to be the tail, to be dragged hither and thither by others. We must not yield to the spirit of the age, but compel... read more

Deuteronomy 28:15-19If thou wilt not hearken.Blessing and cursing-an Ash Wednesday sermonDoes the Commination Service curse men? Are these good people (who are certainly right in their horror of cursing) right in the accusations which they bring against it? I cannot but think that they mistake when they say that the Commination Service curses men. For to curse a man is to pray that God may vent His anger on the man by punishing him. But I find no such prayer and wish in any word of the... read more

Deuteronomy 28:47Because thou servedst not the lord.Right serviceThe text brings before us a subject essentially important--that as the service of the Lord Jesus Christ must be such as answered the great end that was to be brought about, and did answer it, so the object of the service of the people of God is to bring them into possession of what the Lord has for them. Let us take a two-fold view of this service.1. First, then, the true service of the Lord; it must be by faith in the Lord Jesus... read more

Deu 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe [and] to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: Ver. 1. If thou shalt hearken diligently. ] Heb., If hearkening thou shalt hearken; if when God speaks once, thou shalt hear it twice; as David did, Psa 62:11 by a blessed rebound of meditation and practice.

"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow thee," Psa 23:6 as the evening sunbeams follow the passenger, as the rock water followed the Israelites in the wilderness, and overtook them at their stations. 1Co 10:4 "O continue," or draw out to the length, "thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee."
