Definitions for Deuteronomy 30:1
Clarke's Deuteronomy 30:1 Bible Commentary
When all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse - So fully did God foresee the bad use these people would make of their free agency in resisting the Holy Ghost, that he speaks of their sin and punishment as certain; yet, at the same time, shows how they might turn to himself and live, even while he was pouring out his indignation upon them because of their transgressions.
Barnes's Deuteronomy 30:1 Bible Commentary
The rejection of Israel and the desolation of the promised inheritance were not to be the end of God's dispensations. The closing words of the address therefore are words of comfort and promise. Compare marginal reference and Deuteronomy 4:29 ff; 1 Kings 8:46-50.
The chastisements of God would lead the nation to repent, and thereupon God would again bless them.
Wesley's Deuteronomy 30:1 Bible Commentary
30:1 The blessing - When thou art obedient. The curse - When thou becomest rebellious.
