Deutéronome 28:40 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 28:40

Thou shalt have olive trees throughout thy coasts
In the several parts of the land of Canaan, which is therefore called a land of olive oil, ( Deuteronomy 8:8 ) ;

but thou shalt not anoint [thyself] with the oil;
nor any other relations, friends, guests, as was usual at entertainments; see ( Psalms 23:5 ) ( Luke 7:38 Luke 7:46 ) ; for the phrase "thyself" is not in the text. The reason why they should not anoint is, because they would have no oil to anoint with:

for thine olive shall cast [his fruit];
before it is ripe, by one means or another, as by winds, or blasting and mildew; see ( Amos 4:9 ) ( Habakkuk 3:17 ) .

38 Tu porteras beaucoup de semence aux champs, et tu en recueilleras peu; car la sauterelle la broutera.
39 Tu planteras des vignes et tu les cultiveras, mais tu ne boiras point de vin, et tu n'en recueilleras rien; car le ver les mangera.
40 Tu auras des oliviers dans tout ton territoire, et tu ne t'oindras point d'huile; car tes oliviers perdront leur fruit.
41 Tu engendreras des fils et des filles, mais ils ne seront pas à toi; car ils iront en captivité.
42 Le hanneton s'emparera de tous tes arbres, et du fruit de ton sol.
