CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

Deuteronomy 28

Deuteronomy 28 sets out the covenant blessings and curses in their fullest form. Obedience would bring national fruitfulness, victory, abundance, and security in the land; persistent disobedience would bring disease, drought, defeat, siege, famine, exile, and scattering. The curse section becomes increasingly severe and anticipates the kinds of disasters later recorded in Israel’s and Judah’s history.
