Deuteronomy 30
1. Great mercies promised unto the penitent
11. The commandment is manifest
15. Death and life are set before them














And the LORD your God
This phrase emphasizes the personal relationship between the Israelites and Yahweh, their covenant God. The Hebrew word for "LORD" is "YHWH," the sacred tetragrammaton, which signifies God's eternal and self-existent nature. "Your God" underscores the personal and communal bond, reminding the Israelites of their unique status as God's chosen people. This relationship is foundational to understanding the blessings and curses outlined in Deuteronomy.

will put
The Hebrew verb used here is "nathan," which means "to give" or "to place." It indicates a deliberate action by God, reflecting His sovereign authority to enact justice. This action is not arbitrary but is a fulfillment of the covenant promises, where obedience leads to blessings and disobedience results in curses.

all these curses
The "curses" refer to the specific consequences outlined in Deuteronomy 28 for disobedience to God's commandments. These curses were initially intended for Israel if they turned away from God, but here, God promises to redirect them towards Israel's enemies. This reflects the principle of divine retribution and justice, where God protects His people and holds their adversaries accountable.

upon your enemies
The term "enemies" in Hebrew is "oyeb," which denotes those who are hostile or adversarial towards Israel. Historically, Israel faced numerous enemies, from the Egyptians to the Canaanites, and later, the Assyrians and Babylonians. This promise assures Israel of God's protection and justice against those who oppose them.

who hate you
Hatred here is not merely an emotional dislike but an active opposition to God's people and His purposes. The Hebrew word "sane" implies an intense aversion and enmity. This enmity is often rooted in spiritual rebellion against God, as Israel's enemies frequently opposed them because of their unique relationship with Yahweh.

and persecute you
Persecution involves persistent harassment and oppression. The Hebrew root "radaph" means "to pursue" or "to chase." This reflects the relentless nature of the opposition Israel faced. Historically, this persecution was both physical and spiritual, as surrounding nations sought to undermine Israel's faith and existence. God's promise to turn curses upon these persecutors reassures Israel of His ultimate justice and deliverance.
