Deuteronomio 28:13 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 28:13

And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail
Give them dominion over others, and not make them subject to them; the head signifies rulers and governors, and the tail the common people that are subjects; or the one such that are honourable and in high esteem, and the other such that are mean and base; see ( Isaiah 9:14 Isaiah 9:15 ) ; the Targum of Jonathan is,

``the Word of the Lord shall make thee''
and thou shalt be above only, and thou shall not be beneath;
which explains what is meant by head and tail, being uppermost and lowermost, as the head is the upper part, and the tail the lower part of a creature; the one is more honourable, the other vile: the sense is, that they should be superior to other people in honour and dignity, and not below them, or vassals to them: if that thou hearken to the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I
command thee this day to observe and to do [them];
which is the condition on which all this happiness depended.

Deuteronomio 28:13 In-Context

11 Y el SEÑOR te hará abundar en bienes, en el fruto de tu vientre, en el fruto de tu ganado y en el producto de tu suelo, en la tierra que el SEÑOR juró a tus padres que te daría.
12 Abrirá el SEÑOR para ti su buen tesoro, los cielos, para dar lluvia a tu tierra a su tiempo y para bendecir toda la obra de tu mano; y tú prestarás a muchas naciones, pero no tomarás prestado.
13 Y te pondrá el SEÑOR a la cabeza y no a la cola, sólo estarás encima y nunca estarás debajo, si escuchas los mandamientos del SEÑOR tu Dios que te ordeno hoy, para que los guardes cuidadosamente;
14 no te desvíes de ninguna de las palabras que te ordeno hoy, ni a la derecha ni a la izquierda, para ir tras otros dioses y servirles.
15 Pero sucederá que si no obedeces al SEÑOR tu Dios, guardando todos sus mandamientos y estatutos que te ordeno hoy, vendrán sobre ti todas estas maldiciones y te alcanzarán:
