Deuteronomy 28:60 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 28:60

Moreover, he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt,
&c.] All that in a way of judgment were brought upon the Egyptians for refusing to let Israel go; or all such diseases as were peculiar to them, and common among them, as the leprosy, the itch, ulcers

which thou wast afraid of;
when living among them, lest they should catch them of them, or they should be inflicted on them by the hand of God:

and they shall cleave unto thee;
not only should come upon them, but continue with them; they should not easily get rid of them, or be cured of them.

Deuteronomy 28:60 In-Context

58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;

59 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, [even] great plagues, and of long continuance, and severe sicknesses, and of long continuance.

60 Moreover, he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, of which thou wast afraid; and they shall cleave to thee.

61 Also every sickness, and every plague which [is] not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou art destroyed.

62 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldst not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.
