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.

שִׂמְלָ֨תְ⁠ךָ֜ לֹ֤א בָֽלְתָה֙ מֵֽ⁠עָלֶ֔י⁠ךָ וְ⁠רַגְלְ⁠ךָ֖ לֹ֣א בָצֵ֑קָה זֶ֖ה אַרְבָּעִ֥ים שָׁנָֽה

clothing,your not wear_out from,on,you and,feet,your not swell this forty year

The implication is that Yahweh protected and provided for the Israelites. As a result, their clothing did not wear out and their feet did not swell up even though they walked for 40 years in the wilderness. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “Yahweh protected you so that your provisions did not run out and you remained healthy for those 40 years in the wilderness”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

שִׂמְלָ֨תְ⁠ךָ֜ לֹ֤א בָֽלְתָה֙ מֵֽ⁠עָלֶ֔י⁠ךָ

clothing,your not wear_out from,on,you

The expression Your clothing did not wear out from upon you contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: “Your clothing did not wear out”
