Deuteronomy 11:26 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 11:26

Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse
Meaning the law of God, and the statutes, judgments, and commandments of it; which, if obeyed, blessings would be bestowed upon them; but if disobeyed, they would be liable to the curses of it, as the following words explain it; see ( Deuteronomy 30:15-19 ) everyone of the Israelites were called upon to see and consider this matter, it being an interesting one to them all.

Deuteronomy 11:26 In-Context

24 Every place you set foot on will be yours: your territory will run from the wilderness all the way to the Lebanon range, and from the Euphrates River all the way to the Mediterranean Sea.

25 No one will be able to stand up to you. Just as he promised, the LORD your God will make the entire land deathly afraid of you wherever you advance in it.

26 Pay attention! I am setting blessing and curse before you right now:

27 the blessing if you obey the LORD your God's commandments that I am giving you right now,

28 but the curse if you don't obey the LORD your God's commandments and stray from the path that I am giving you today by following other gods that you have not known.
