Deuteronomy 29:21 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 29:21

And the Lord shall separate him unto evil out of all the
tribes of Israel

So some men are righteously separated from others, and preordained unto condemnation, being wicked and ungodly men; for such God has made or appointed for the day of evil; see ( Proverbs 16:4 ) ( Jude 1:4 ) ;

according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this

the evil of punishment he shall be separated unto shall be according to them, or include them all; the sense is, that the wrath of God, and the whole curse of the law due to him for his sin, shall come upon him; see ( Deuteronomy 28:16-18 )
