Theological / Devotional

Smite thee. The various visitations given in this verse are difficult to define. To seek to identify them with modern diseases is to indulge in speculation. It is generally conceded that the first four mentioned pertain to human beings, and the last three to crops. It is thought that the word translated “sword,” ch-r-b, as originally written by Moses, should have been vocalized by the Masoretes as choreb, “drought,” rather than as chereb, “sword.” The word “drought” harmonizes better with the context.
