Therefore
This word serves as a conclusion or result of previous actions or statements. In the context of Deuteronomy, it connects the disobedience and idolatry of the Israelites to the consequences they face. The Hebrew word used here is "לָכֵן" (lakhen), which often introduces a divine judgment or decree. It emphasizes the certainty and inevitability of God's response to sin.

the anger of the LORD
The phrase highlights God's righteous indignation against sin. The Hebrew word for anger, "אַף" (aph), literally means "nose" or "nostrils," suggesting the flaring of nostrils in anger. This anthropomorphic expression conveys the intensity of God's displeasure. In a conservative Christian perspective, it underscores God's holiness and justice, reminding believers of the seriousness of sin and the need for repentance.

burned against this land
The imagery of burning conveys the consuming nature of God's wrath. The Hebrew verb "חָרָה" (charah) means to be hot or furious. Historically, this refers to the land of Israel, which was promised to the Israelites but also subject to divine judgment due to their covenant unfaithfulness. Archaeological evidence of destruction layers in ancient cities like Hazor and Lachish corroborates periods of divine judgment in Israel's history.

to bring upon it
This phrase indicates the purpose or result of God's anger. The Hebrew verb "לָבוֹא" (lavo) means to come or bring. It signifies the active role of God in executing judgment. From a theological standpoint, it reflects the covenant relationship where blessings and curses are contingent upon obedience or disobedience.

every curse
The term "curse" in Hebrew is "קְלָלָה" (qelalah), which refers to a solemn utterance intended to invoke a supernatural power to inflict harm or punishment. In Deuteronomy, curses are detailed consequences for breaking the covenant. They serve as a warning and a call to faithfulness, emphasizing the seriousness of the covenant relationship with God.

written in this book
This phrase refers to the documented laws and decrees found in the Torah, particularly in Deuteronomy. The Hebrew word for book, "סֵפֶר" (sefer), indicates a written record. Historically, this underscores the importance of the written word in preserving God's commands and the covenant terms. It highlights the authority and permanence of Scripture as a guide for faith and practice.

Verse 27. - All the curses; literally, every curse, or the whole curse (cf. Daniel 9:11, etc.).
