Shēnméngjì 28:43 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 28:43

The stranger that [is] within thee shall get up above thee
very high
In wealth and riches, in power and authority, in honour and dignity. This Manasseh Ben Israel ^F18 interprets of the Samaritans, whom the king of Assyria drove out of Samaria, and the neighbouring places; but the design of the expression is to show how mean and abject they should be in another country; that even one who had been a stranger or proselyte of the gate, when in their own country, should now be vastly above them:

and thou shall come down, very low;
into a very mean condition, to be in great subjection, a vassal and a slave; see ( Psalms 106:41 Psalms 106:42 ) ; and much more when reduced by the Romans, and sent to the mines in Egypt.
