Deut. 28:1-14 Blessings
- This starts off by saying “if you faithfully obey Yahweh your God and are careful to follow all of His commands”.
- The KJV says “Diligently” which is the Heb. word Shema, but when translated it shows Shema twice “If you Shema Shema”.
- So, Shema means to not only hear, but also to obey, this way of saying it would be to Hear and obey continuely.
- Look at Gen. 2:17, in this verse what you do not see is the second die, it say in the translation you will surely die die meaning you will continue to die.
- The emphasis is that with the second word He is giving us the idea of urgency.
- If we follow this He will put us far above all the nations.
- Blessings will overtake you, this implies that blessing will pursue us and over take us. Look at Ex. 15:26
- All because we obey Yahweh our God.

- They will march out against you from one direction but flee from you in seven directions
