Deuteronomy 28:41 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 28:41

Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shall not enjoy
them
Or, "they shall not be thine" F17; being taken from them, and given to others, see ( Deuteronomy 28:32 ) ; and for the following reason:

for they shall go into captivity;
as when the ten tribes were carried captive by Shalmaneser, and the two tribes by Nebuchadnezzar, and all the people of the Jews by the Romans.
