Deuteronomy 28:21-22

28:21 The Lord will plague you with deadly diseases ¹  until he has completely removed you from the land you are about to possess. 28:22 He ²  will afflict you with weakness, ³  fever, inflammation, infection, ⁴  sword, ⁵  blight, and mildew; these will attack you until you perish.

[28:21]  ¹ tn Heb “will cause pestilence to cling to you.”

[28:22]  ² tn Heb “The Lord.” See note on “he” in 28:8.

[28:22]  ³ tn Or perhaps “consumption” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV). The term is from a verbal root that indicates a weakening of one’s physical strength (cf. NAB “wasting”; NIV, NLT “wasting disease”).

[28:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “hot fever”; NIV “scorching heat.”

[28:22]  ⁵ tn Or “drought” (so NIV, NRSV, NLT).
