\nDeu 28:9-14<\/b>\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0The LORD will establish you<\/b> as a people holy to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments<\/b> of the LORD your God<\/b> and walk in his ways<\/b>.\u00a0And all the peoples of the earth<\/b> shall see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they shall be afraid of you<\/b>.\u00a0And the LORD will make you abound in prosperity<\/b>, in the fruit<\/b> of your womb and in the fruit of your livestock and in the fruit of your ground, within the land that the LORD swore to your fathers to give you<\/b>.\u00a0The LORD will open to you his good treasury<\/b>, the heavens<\/b>, to give the rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands<\/b>. And you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.\u00a0And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail<\/b>, and you shall only go up<\/b> and not down, if you obey the commandments<\/b> of the LORD your God, which I command you today, being careful to do them<\/b>,\u00a0and if you do not turn aside<\/b> from any of the words that I command you today, to the right hand or to the left, to go after<\/b> other gods to serve them.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
God\u2019s purpose in blessing Israel was greater than just enriching the nation for its own sake. He intended to glorify Himself through blessing them. (Guzik)<\/p>\n
And the Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself,…. 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. And all the people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord,…. Called his children, his people, his portion, and his inheritance; and that they are his, and he is theirs, by the care he takes of them, the provision he makes for them, and the protection they have from him: and they shall be afraid of thee; as not only the Canaanites were, but all other nations. Blessings – if that thou hearken to the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day to observe and to do them; which is the condition on which all this happiness depended. And thou shall not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day,…. Depart from them as a rule to walk by, turn out from them as a path to walk in, neglect and disobey them, and go into practices contrary to them (Gill)<\/p>\n
“The Lord will exalt thee for a holy nation to Himself,…so that all the nations of the earth shall see that the name of Jehovah is named upon thee, and shall fear before thee.” The Lord had called Israel as a holy nation, when He concluded the covenant with it (Exodus 19:5-6<\/span><\/a>). This promise, to which the words “as He hath sworn unto thee” point back, and which is called an oath, because it was founded upon the promises given to the patriarchs on oath (Genesis 22:16<\/span><\/a>), and was given implicite in them, the Lord would fulfil to His people, and cause the holiness and glory of Israel to be so clearly manifested, that all nations should perceive or see “that the name of the Lord is named upon Israel.” The name of the Lord is the revelation of His glorious nature.
