Deuteronomy 28:1 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 28:1

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently
unto the voice of the Lord thy God
In his law, and by his prophets: to observe [and] to do all his commandments, which I command thee this
day;
for without observing them to do them, hearing them would be to little purpose, and they were all of them to be observed and done, the lesser and weightier matters of the law as they were commanded by Moses in the name of the Lord, and as they would be taught, explained, and enforced by the prophets: that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the
earth:
as they were in the times of David and Solomon; (See Gill on Deuteronomy 26:19).
