Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:25

Theological / Devotional

Flee seven ways. They would march against their enemies as a compact, well-organized army, fully equipped, but they would be defeated and flee like an unorganized, leaderless mob.

Be removed. Literally, “be for a horror.” The word thus translated does not include the idea of “dispersion,” as in the LXX. Its root means “to tremble,” “to quake,” “to fear” (Eccl. 12:3; Dan. 5:19; 6:26). If the Hebrews remained disobedient, they were to become a fearful example of poverty, disease, and suffering to all non-Jews (see 2 Chron. 29:8; Isa. 28:19).
