TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Curses and Blessings

Nearly all treaty or covenant texts from the ancient Near East contained curses and blessings. The curses were leveled against those who violated the terms of the agreement, while blessings were promised to the faithful. This was particularly true of suzerain-vassal covenants like Deuteronomy (see Deuteronomy Book Introduction, “Literary Form”).

Deuteronomy presented to the assembly of Israel what God expected of the nation. The covenant required the nation of Israel to obey the Lord, and the Israelites had pledged to do so (Exod 19:8). The section on curses and blessings (Deut 27:1–29:1) spells out how God would reward their obedience and judge their disobedience. The curses receive more emphasis than the blessings, perhaps because people naturally pay more attention to promises than to warnings. Blessings may also be more easily understood—promised blessings in the future seem to simply provide well-being, whereas judgment is more abstract and needs detailed, graphic description. God emphasizes the curses to drive home the consequences of wrongdoing. The warnings Jesus offered about things to come (Matt 24–25) were very much in line with these warnings.

Israel’s subsequent history bears witness to God’s promise of both the blessings and the curses. When Israel was faithful to their covenant with God, he blessed the people. When they rebelled, he brought judgment upon them. Israel’s history of rebellion is succinctly summarized in 2 Kings 17:7-20. When the Israelites broke the first two commandments (Deut 5:7-10), they proceeded to violate the whole covenant, and their rebellion brought upon them the curses of Deuteronomy 28.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

וְ⁠רָ֖ם לְבָבֶ֑⁠ךָ

and,become_proud heart,your

In this verse, Moses gives the negative consequences that could happen as a result of the previous verses. If the connection between this statement and the previous one is not clear, you may want to use a connecting word to show how this statement relates to what came before it. Use a natural form in your language for connecting this statement to the previous one. Alternate translation: “so that your heart is lifted up”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠רָ֖ם לְבָבֶ֑⁠ךָ

and,become_proud heart,your

Here, your heart is lifted up is an idiom that means “you become proud.” The heart represents a person’s inner being. Height represents pride, so a lifted up heart is a proud heart. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and you become prideful” or “and you become conceited”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִ⁠בֵּ֥ית עֲבָדִֽים

out_of,house slavery

Yahweh speaks of Egypt as if it were a house where people keep slaves. See how you translated this in Exodus 13:3. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from the place where you were slaves”
