SEV Biblia, Chapter 28:9
Te confirmará el SEÑOR por pueblo suyo santo, como te ha jurado, cuando guardares los mandamientos del SEÑOR tu Dios, y anduvieres en sus caminos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:9
Verse 9. The Lord shall establish thee a holy people unto himself] This is the sum of all blessings, to be made holy, and be preserved in holiness. If thou shalt keep, &c.] Here is the solemn condition; if they did not keep God's testimonies, taking them for the regulators of their lives, and according to their direction walking in his ways, under the influence and aids of his grace, then the curses, and not the blessings, must be their portion. See ver. 15, &c.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. And the Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself , etc.] Having separated them from all others, for his service, honour, and glory, should continue them as such, and settle them in the land, and confirm all their privileges, natural, civil, and religious. The Targum of Jonathan is, “the Word of the Lord shall establish thee, etc.” he that brought them out of Egypt, through the Red sea and wilderness, to the land of Canaan: as he hath sworn unto thee : and to their fathers; (see Deuteronomy 7:12,13); if thou shall keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways ; by which tenure they held the land of Canaan, and their settlement and continuance in it, and enjoyment of all the good things thereof; (see Isaiah 1:19,20).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-14 - This chapter is a very large exposition of two words, the blessing an the curse. They are real things and have real effects. The blessing are here put before the curses. God is slow to anger, but swift to sho mercy. It is his delight to bless. It is better that we should be draw to what is good by a child-like hope of God's favour, than that we be frightened to it by a slavish fear of his wrath. The blessing i promised, upon condition that they diligently hearken to the voice of God. Let them keep up religion, the form and power of it, in their families and nation, then the providence of God would prosper all their outward concerns.
