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














(14) And thou shalt not go aside.--It is possible, of course, to connect this sentence with the "if" in Deuteronomy 28:13, "If that thou hearken and do not go aside." But the LXX., and apparently the Targums also, begin a fresh sentence with this verse. The idea that obedience begets obedience is by no means foreign to the Jewish mind. There are many passages in their literature which contain the thought expressed so forcibly in Revelation 22:11, "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still . . . and he that is holy, let him be holy still."

Verse 14. - (Cf. Deuteronomy 5:29; Deuteronomy 11:28.) Moses ends as he began, by reminding them that the condition of enjoying the blessing was obedience to the Divine Law, and steadfast adherence to the course in which they were called to walk.
