Deuteronomy 28
1. The blessings for obedience
15. The curses for disobedience














Then all the peoples of the earth
This phrase emphasizes the universal scope of God's covenant with Israel. The Hebrew word for "peoples" is "עַמִּים" (amim), which refers to nations or ethnic groups. Historically, Israel was set apart among the nations, and this verse underscores the global recognition of God's work through His chosen people. The phrase suggests a prophetic vision where God's influence extends beyond Israel to all humanity, reflecting the Abrahamic promise that through Israel, all nations would be blessed.

will see
The Hebrew verb "רָאָה" (ra'ah) means to see or perceive. This implies not just a physical sight but an understanding or recognition. The visibility of God's blessing on Israel serves as a testimony to His power and faithfulness. In a spiritual sense, this seeing is akin to acknowledging God's presence and authority, which is evident in the lives of those who follow Him.

that you are called by the name of the LORD
The phrase "called by the name of the LORD" signifies a deep, covenantal relationship. The Hebrew word for "called" is "קָרָא" (qara), which can mean to proclaim or to be named. Being called by God's name indicates ownership and protection, as well as a mission to represent Him. In the ancient Near Eastern context, a name carried authority and identity, and being associated with the LORD's name meant bearing His character and purpose.

and they will stand in awe of you
The Hebrew root for "stand in awe" is "יָרֵא" (yare), which can mean to fear, revere, or be in awe. This is not a fear of terror but a reverential respect. The surrounding nations would recognize the distinctiveness of Israel due to God's evident blessing and presence. This awe is a response to the visible manifestation of God's favor and power, which serves as a witness to His sovereignty and holiness.

(10) That thou art called.--Literally, that the name of Jehovah has been called upon thee.

And they shall be afraid of thee.--Comp. Jeremiah 33:9 : "And they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity, that I procure unto it" (Jerusalem).

Verse 10. - Thou art called by the name of the Lord; rather, the Name of Jehovah called upon thee. The Name of God is God himself as revealed; and this Name is called or named upon men when they are adopted by him, made wholly his, and transformed into his likeness. This blessing Israel enjoyed as a nation - "Theirs was the adoption and the glory" (Romans 9:4) - but it was theirs only in symbol and in shadow (Hebrews 10:1); the reality belongs only to the spiritual Israel, and this came to men in all its fullness when he who is "the image of the invisible God" appeared and set up his tent among men, full of grace and truth (John 1:12, 14).
