What does Deuteronomy 28:1 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
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).
