In Hebrew, it is "YHWH," often vocalized as "Yahweh." This name emphasizes God's eternal existence and His unchanging nature. It is a reminder of His sovereignty and faithfulness to His covenant with Israel. The use of "The LORD" here underscores the divine authority and the seriousness of the covenant relationship.<p><b>will single him out</b><br />The Hebrew root for "single out" is "badal," which means to separate or set apart. This indicates a deliberate action by God to distinguish the individual for a specific purpose. In this context, it is a separation for judgment, highlighting the personal accountability each person has before God. It serves as a warning that God is aware of individual actions and will address them accordingly.<p><b>for disaster</b><br />The word "disaster" comes from the Hebrew "ra'ah," which can mean evil, calamity, or misfortune. It signifies the severe consequences of breaking the covenant. This is not merely a natural consequence but a divinely orchestrated response to covenant unfaithfulness. It reflects the seriousness of sin and the holiness of God, who cannot tolerate rebellion.<p><b>from all the tribes of Israel</b><br />This phrase emphasizes the communal aspect of the covenant. Israel is not just a collection of individuals but a united people bound by a shared covenant with God. The singling out of an individual for disaster serves as a warning to the entire community. It underscores the idea that sin affects not just the sinner but the whole community, and thus, communal vigilance and faithfulness are necessary.<p><b>and will bring upon him</b><br />The phrase indicates a direct action by God. The Hebrew verb "bo" means to come or bring, suggesting an active imposition of consequences. This reflects the biblical principle that God is just and will ensure that justice is served. It is a reminder of God's active role in the world and His commitment to upholding His covenant.<p><b>all the curses of the covenant</b><br />The "curses" refer to the specific consequences outlined in the covenant for disobedience, as detailed in <a href="/deuteronomy/28.htm">Deuteronomy 28</a>. These curses serve as a deterrent against unfaithfulness and a reminder of the blessings that come with obedience. The covenant is a binding agreement, and failure to adhere to it results in serious repercussions, emphasizing the gravity of the relationship between God and His people.<p><b>written in this Book of the Law</b><br />This phrase refers to the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, which contain the laws given to Israel. The "Book of the Law" is a tangible representation of God's will and instructions for His people. It serves as a guide for righteous living and a standard by which Israel is judged. The written nature of the law underscores its permanence and authority, reminding the Israelites of their responsibility to know and follow God's commands.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/deuteronomy/29.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(21, 22) <span class= "bld">And the Lord shall separate him unto evil . . . so that the generation to come . . . shall say . . . of that land.</span>--It is not a little remarkable that the sin of one man is here represented as growing and spreading devastation over the whole land of Israel--the very thing which the man apparently regards as impossible in his inward reasonings, described in <a href="/deuteronomy/29-19.htm" title="And it come to pass, when he hears the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of my heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:">Deuteronomy 29:19</a>.
