Deuteronomy 7:15 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 7:15

And will take away from thee all sickness
Bodily sickness and diseases, prevent the coming of them, or remove them when come:

and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt which thou knowest
upon thee;
meaning either the plagues that were inflicted upon them to oblige them to let the Israelites go, of which they had perfect knowledge; or else some noxious and nauseous diseases, which were common among, and peculiar to, the Egyptians, particularly what is called the botch of Egypt; see ( Exodus 15:26 ) , likewise the leprosy; (See Gill on Leviticus 13:2), (See Gill on Deuteronomy 28:27).

but will lay them upon all them that hate thee;
with which God sometimes punishes his and his people's enemies; see ( Judges 5:9 ) ( Revelation 16:10 Revelation 16:11 ) .

Taken from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

Deuteronomy 7:15 In-Context

13 He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—your grain, new wine and olive oil—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.

14 You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor will any of your livestock be without young.

15 The LORD will keep you free from every disease. He will not inflict on you the horrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but he will inflict them on all who hate you.

16 You must destroy all the peoples the LORD your God gives over to you. Do not look on them with pity and do not serve their gods, for that will be a snare to you.

17 You may say to yourselves, “These nations are stronger than we are. How can we drive them out?”
