Context — The Promises of God
13He will love you and bless you and multiply you. He will bless the fruit of your womb and the produce of your land—your grain, new wine, and oil, the young of your herds and the lambs of your flocks—in the land that He swore to your fathers to give you.
14You will be blessed above all peoples; among you there will be no barren man or woman or livestock.
15And the LORD will remove from you all sickness. He will not lay upon you any of the terrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but He will inflict them on all who hate you.
16You must destroy all the peoples the LORD your God will deliver to you. Do not look on them with pity. Do not worship their gods, for that will be a snare to you. 17You may say in your heart, “These nations are greater than we are; how can we drive them out?”Cross References

Deuteronomy 7:15 Summary
This verse, Deuteronomy 7:15, promises that God will remove all sickness from His people and instead bring healing and protection, as seen in Exodus 23:25. This means that when we follow God and trust in His care, He will be with us in times of illness or hardship, and will ultimately bring us wholeness and healing (Psalm 103:3). As we trust in God's goodness and sovereignty, we can have faith that He will work all things for our good, even in the midst of challenges and uncertainties (Romans 8:28).

While Deuteronomy 7:15 promises the removal of sickness, it does not mean believers will never experience illness, as seen in the life of Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, but rather that God will be with us in our suffering and bring ultimate healing.

Gill's Exposition on Deuteronomy 7:15
And will take away from thee all sickness,.... Bodily sickness and diseases, prevent the coming of them, or remove them when come: and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt which thou knowest
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Deuteronomy 7:15
And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Deuteronomy 7:15
The evil diseases of Egypt; such as the Egyptians were infested with, either commonly, as that botch, ; or miraculously and extraordinarily, from the hand of the Lord, as ,15. Compare .
Trapp's Commentary on Deuteronomy 7:15
Deuteronomy 7:15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all [them] that hate thee.Ver. 15. And the Lord.] Health is a sweet mercy; Non est vivere, sed valere vita, A sickly life is a lifeless life. A healthy body is the reward of piety. Martial.
Ellicott's Commentary on Deuteronomy 7:15
(15) Evil diseases.—The word for diseases here used is found only in Deuteronomy (see Deuteronomy 28:60). It must not be forgotten that the law of Moses was in many of its details a sanitary quite as much as a moral code. Some of the associations of this word and the root from which it is derived would seem to point to those “languors” and “infirmities” which arise from neglect and violation of the laws of God, both moral and physical.
Cambridge Bible on Deuteronomy 7:15
15. take away … all sickness] Exodus 23:25 (edit.). evil diseases of Egypt] In Exodus 15:26 (edit.) the sicknesses (another word) refers to the special plagues brought on the Egyptians by Jehovah for Israel’s sake. Here the reference is rather to the natural ailments of men of which in antiquity Egypt was notoriously the source: elephantiasis, ‘Aegypti peculiare malum’ (Pliny, H.N. xxvi. 1, 5), ophthalmia, dysentery, but especially the bubonic plague (Hecataeus of Abdera in Diod. Sic. xl. 3). See the present writer’s Hist. Geog. of the Holy Land, 157 f., 670; and cp. below note on Deuteronomy 28:27. which thou knowest] hast had experience of, see on Deuteronomy 7:9.
Barnes' Notes on Deuteronomy 7:15
There seems to be here not so much as a reference to the plagues inflicted miraculously by God on Egypt (compare Exodus 15:26), as to the terrible diseases with which, above other countries, Egypt was infested.
