Deuteronomy 28:61-63
New English Translation
61 Moreover, the Lord will bring upon you every kind of sickness and plague not mentioned in this scroll of commandments,[a] until you have perished. 62 There will be very few of you left, though at one time you were as numerous as the stars in the sky,[b] because you will have disobeyed[c] the Lord your God. 63 This is what will happen: Just as the Lord delighted to do good for you and make you numerous, so he[d] will also take delight in destroying and decimating you. You will be uprooted from the land you are about to possess.

- Deuteronomy 28:61 tn The Hebrew term תּוֹרָה (torah) can refer either (1) to the whole Pentateuch or, more likely, (2) to the book of Deuteronomy or even (3) only to this curse section of the covenant text. “Scroll” better reflects the actual document, since “book” conveys the notion of a bound book with pages to the modern English reader. Cf. KJV, NASB, NRSV “the book of this law”; NIV, NLT “this Book of the Law”; TEV “this book of God’s laws and teachings.”
- Deuteronomy 28:62 tn Or “heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.
- Deuteronomy 28:62 tn Heb “have not listened to the voice of.”
- Deuteronomy 28:63 tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 28:8.
