Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:9

Theological / Devotional

Holy. This does not refer to holiness as an abstract idea, but to Israel as being set apart to be God’s people, and so acknowledged before all nations (see on ch. 26:18, 19).

If. Compare Deut. 7:12; Ex. 19:5. The blessings of God are conditional, dependent upon Israel’s obedience to His just requirements. Moses held up before them their eternal destiny, as Christ later did (Matt. 6:33).
