[ them]: |
Deuteronomy 28:13-14
_ _ the head, and not the tail — an Oriental form of expression, indicating the possession of independent power and great dignity and acknowledged excellence (Isaiah 9:14; Isaiah 19:15). |
Deuteronomy 28:13
The head — The chief of all people in power, or at least in dignity and privileges; so that even they that are not under thine authority shall reverence thy greatness and excellency. So it was in David's and Solomon's time, and so it should have been much oftner and much more, if they had performed the conditions. |
- the head:
Numbers 24:18-19 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly. ... Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
Isaiah 9:14-15 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day. ... The ancient and honourable, he [is] the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he [is] the tail.
|
- if that thou:
Deuteronomy 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe [and] to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
Deuteronomy 4:6-9 Keep therefore and do [them]; for this [is] your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation [is] a wise and understanding people. ... Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;
Philippians 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
