Holy blessings and cursings

Pardon my language, but some words make me see differently. Deuteronomy 28 is not about God cursing the people, it's about the people denying God as revealed to them in the words of Moses.

Just one word makes me see that differently, the turnaround is in verse 15. All these blessings are promised to the people if 'you hear to hear' - i.e., repetition for effect, 'you hear with diligence, (in) the voice of Yahweh your God'. Hearing 'in' or 'with' a voice? The phrase makes me stop and think that there is some 'identity' between the people and their God. What you believe (hear and do) makes you what you are.

Then in verse 15, tradition says, ... all these curses ... will come your way. No he (Moses) doesn't say that. He says - all these denials - will come your way. Sure it is followed by a list of curses corresponding to some of the blessings of the first 14 verses but the summary word is not a curse but a denial. And the repeated hear is not repeated. This is diligent precision. The meaning is clear without the precision, right? The meaning is not clear, it is muddied.

I'll post the rest of the chapter later. Otherwise too much at once with these long harangues. Yet they are not harangues, they are the insistence of love, if you can believe it. The bride in the bridal chamber does not need to forsake the groom.
