Context — The Curses of Disobedience

33A people you do not know will eat the produce of your land and of all your toil. All your days you will be oppressed and crushed. 34You will be driven mad by the sights you see.

35The LORD will afflict you with painful, incurable boils on your knees and thighs, from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.

36The LORD will bring you and the king you appoint to a nation neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone. 37You will become an object of horror, scorn, and ridicule among all the nations to which the LORD will drive you.

Deuteronomy 28:35 Summary

This verse in Deuteronomy 28:35 is talking about a very difficult and painful time that God's people will face if they disobey Him. It describes a severe skin condition that will cover their whole body, from their feet to their head. This is not just about physical suffering, but also about the emotional and spiritual pain that comes with disobeying God, as seen in Proverbs 3:11-12 and Hebrews 12:5-11. We can learn from this verse that God is serious about our obedience and wants us to follow His commands, as emphasized in John 14:15 and 1 John 2:3-6.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of affliction is described in Deuteronomy 28:35?

The affliction described in Deuteronomy 28:35 is a severe and incurable skin condition, specifically painful boils, that will cover the entire body from the soles of the feet to the top of the head, as a result of disobedience to God's commands, similar to the plagues described in Exodus 15:26 and Deuteronomy 7:15.

Is this verse only talking about physical affliction?

While the verse specifically mentions physical affliction, the context of Deuteronomy 28 suggests that the affliction may also have spiritual and emotional components, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:34 where it says 'You will be driven mad by the sights you see', indicating a broader impact on the person's well-being.

How does this verse relate to God's character?

This verse shows that God is a God of justice and holiness, who will not tolerate disobedience and sin, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:1-2, where obedience is rewarded, and disobedience is punished, highlighting the importance of following God's commands, as also emphasized in Leviticus 26:14-16 and Jeremiah 11:3-5.

Can this affliction be applied to New Testament believers?

While the specific context of Deuteronomy 28 is addressed to the Israelites under the Old Covenant, the principle of God's judgment and discipline for disobedience is still applicable to New Testament believers, as seen in Hebrews 12:5-11, where it talks about God's discipline for his children, and 1 Corinthians 11:30-32, where it mentions God's judgment for disobedience.

Reflection Questions

What are some ways I may be experiencing God's discipline in my life, and how can I respond to it in a way that honors Him, as seen in Psalm 119:67 and 71?
How can I ensure that I am living a life of obedience to God's commands, and what are the consequences of disobedience, as warned in Deuteronomy 28:15 and Proverbs 28:13?
What does this verse teach me about God's character, and how can I apply that to my relationship with Him, as seen in Psalm 103:8-10 and Lamentations 3:22-23?
In what ways can I trust God's sovereignty and goodness, even in the midst of affliction and difficulty, as encouraged in Romans 8:28 and 2 Corinthians 1:3-4?

Gill's Exposition on Deuteronomy 28:35

The Lord shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch, that cannot be healed,.... Which in those parts as it is very painful, so is not easily cured; and this which is threatened

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Deuteronomy 28:35

The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.

Trapp's Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:35

Deuteronomy 28:35 The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. Ver 35.

Ellicott's Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:35

(35) A sore botch.—A boil, as in Deuteronomy 28:27. In the knees.—Comp. Ezekiel 7:17; Ezekiel 21:7, “All knees shall be weak as water.”

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:35

Verse 35. With a sore botch] שחין shechin, an inflammatory swelling, a burning boil. See Deuteronomy 28:27.

Cambridge Bible on Deuteronomy 28:35

15–46. The Curses The opening Deuteronomy 28:15-20, correspond to the blessings in Deuteronomy 28:1-7, except that there are no antitheses to Deuteronomy 28:1 b and Deuteronomy 28:2 b, and that the curse on basket and kneading-bowl precedes that on fruit of thy body, etc. Then the Discourse leaves the limits it had observed in the remainder of the blessings, Deuteronomy 28:8-14, and while here and there it gives the exact contrast of these blessings (cp. Deuteronomy 28:23 f. with Deuteronomy 28:12 a, Deuteronomy 28:25 with Deuteronomy 28:7 b, Deuteronomy 28:37 and Deuteronomy 28:46 with Deuteronomy 28:10, Deuteronomy 28:43 f. with Deuteronomy 28:12 b, Deuteronomy 28:13 a), the rest is a detailed antithesis to the summary blessing in 11; and diseases, calamities to man and beast, failures of seed and harvest, losses of children and property, and even exile, are set forth in detail. The opinion that Deuteronomy 28:26-37 and Deuteronomy 28:41 are later additions is plausible, not because they contain predictions of exile but because they elaborate the rest; and this rest, Deuteronomy 28:21-25 (or 26), Deuteronomy 28:38-40 and Deuteronomy 28:42-46, more nearly corresponds to Deuteronomy 28:8-14. In view of the repeating style of D it is impossible to say whether some even of those vv. are original or expansions; there are no sufficient grounds for the detailed analysis by Steuernagel.

Whedon's Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:35

35. Smite thee in the knees — The threatened calamities are here presented in another view. The Lord will smite the people with leprosy. This disease excludes the one afflicted with it from the congregation of Israel.
