Context — Consequences of Disobediencegenerated

40You will have olive trees throughout your territory but will never anoint yourself with oil, because the olives will drop off.
41You will father sons and daughters, but they will not remain yours, because they will go into captivity.
42Swarms of locusts will consume all your trees and the produce of your land.
43The foreigner living among you will rise higher and higher above you, while you sink down lower and lower.

Deuteronomy 28:41 is part of a larger passage where Moses outlines the curses that will come upon Israel for disobedience to God's commands. In this section, the Israelites are warned that their blessings, including family, will turn into sorrow as they face exile and captivity due to their unfaithfulness. This serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of turning away from God's covenant.

The Key Word תּוֹלִ֑יד, to.Lidgenerated

The verb יָלַד (yalad) means 'to give birth' or 'to beget,' and it encompasses the idea of lineage and family. In this context, it emphasizes the act of producing offspring, which is a blessing but also a responsibility.

The Hiphil form indicates causation, suggesting that the act of fathering is intentional and significant. This word highlights the importance of family in Hebrew culture, where lineage and descendants carry weight in identity and inheritance.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb is תּוֹלִ֑יד, you will father, which governs the sentence. It is followed by a noun phrase בָּנִ֥ים sons and וּבָנ֖וֹת and daughters, indicating the children being referred to.

The structure then includes a negation וְלֹא־ and not, followed by the verb יִהְי֣וּ they will belong, and a prepositional phrase לָ֔ךְ to you, indicating possession. The sentence concludes with a causal clause introduced by כִּי for, leading into the verb יֵלְכ֖וּ they will go.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates בָּנִ֥ים as υἱοὺς (huious), which means 'sons' and retains the familial connection. This shows continuity in the understanding of lineage.

However, the word for captivity is rendered as αἰξμαλωσίᾳ (aixmalōsia), which emphasizes the state of being taken captive, highlighting the severity of the situation.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Deuteronomy 28:41 tells us that the Israelites will have sons and daughters, but they will not be able to enjoy them because they will be taken into captivity. This verse is part of a warning about the consequences of disobedience to God, emphasizing the loss that comes with turning away from His commands.


Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

What does it mean that the children will not remain yours?

It indicates that due to disobedience, the Israelites will lose their children to captivity, highlighting the severe consequences of their actions.

Why is the act of fathering emphasized here?

The emphasis on fathering underscores the importance of family in Israelite culture and the deep sorrow that comes with losing that connection.

How does this verse relate to the overall themes in Deuteronomy?

This verse reflects the broader themes of blessings and curses in Deuteronomy, where obedience leads to blessings and disobedience leads to dire consequences.

What does captivity signify in this context?

Captivity signifies not only physical loss but also spiritual separation from God and the community, serving as a warning against unfaithfulness.


Reflection Questionsgenerated

  1. What are some ways I can appreciate my family and the blessings I have?
  2. How can I ensure that I remain faithful to God's commands to avoid negative consequences?
  3. What lessons can I learn from the Israelites' experience of captivity?
  4. In what ways can I support those who feel disconnected from their families or communities?

(38-42) These are the contrary to Deuteronomy 28:11; and Deuteronomy 28:44 is the contrary to Deuteronomy 28:12-13. From the order of the passage it might seem that these particular troubles were to come on Israel after their captivity. And perhaps it is not accidental that something very like a fulfilment of Deu 28:38-40 is found in Haggai 1:6-11. (Comp. also Isaiah 5:10, “Ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.”)

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text and the Samaritan Pentateuch agree word for word in this verse, affirming the consistency of the text across these traditions. The Septuagint, while largely aligned, presents a different word order and choice of articles, reflecting its own interpretive style.

Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript.

Immediate male ancestor.

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Father

A name applied (1) to any ancestor (Deut. 1:11; 1 Kings 15:11; Matt. 3:9; 23:30, etc.); and (2) as a title of respect to a chief, ruler, or elder, etc. (Judg. 17:10; 18:19; 1 Sam. 10:12; 2 Kings 2:12; Matt. 23:9, etc.). (3) The author or beginner of anything is also so called; e.g., Jabal and Jubal (Gen. 4:20, 21; comp. Job 38:28).

Smith's Bible Dictionary

The position and authority of the father as the head of the family are expressly assumed and sanctioned in Scripture, as a likeness of that of the Almighty over his creatures. It lies of course at the root of that so-called patriarchal government, (Genesis 3:16; 1 Corinthians 11:3) which was introductory to the more definite systems which followed, and which in part, but not wholly, superseded it. The father’s blessing was regarded as conferring special benefit, but his malediction special injury, on those on whom it fell, (Genesis 9:25,27; 27:27-40; 48:15,20; 49:1) ... and so also the sin of a parent was held to affect, in certain cases, the welfare of his descendants.

Is often synonymous with ancestor, founder, or originator, as Ge 4:20-21 Joh 8:56 Ro 4:16. Joseph was a father to Pharoah, Ge 45:8, as his counselor and provider. God is the FATHER of men, as their Creator, De 32:6 Isa 63:16 64:8 Lu 3:38. But as we have forfeited the rights of children by our sins, it is only through Christ that we can call God by that endearing name, "our Father," Joh 20:17 Ro 8:15-17.

Captivity

(1.) Of Israel. The kingdom of the ten tribes was successively invaded by several Assyrian kings. Pul (q.v.) imposed a tribute on Menahem of a thousand talents of silver (2 Kings 15:19, 20; 1 Chr. 5:26) (B.C. 762), and Tiglath-pileser, in the days of Pekah (B.C. 738), carried away the trans-Jordanic tribes and the inhabitants of Galilee into Assyria (2 Kings 15:29; Isa. 9:1). Subsequently Shalmaneser invaded Israel and laid siege to Samaria, the capital of the kingdom. During the siege he died, and was succeeded by Sargon, who took the city, and transported the great mass of the people into Assyria (B.C. 721), placing them in Halah and in Habor, and in the cities…

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

God often punished the sins of the Jews be captivities or servitudes, according to his threatenings, De 28:1-68. Their first captivity, however, from which Moses delivered them, should be considered rather as a permission of Providence, than as a punishment for sin. There were six subjugations of the twelve tribes during the period of the judges. But the most remarkable captivities, or rather expatriations of the Hebrews, were whose of Israel and Judah under the regal government. Israel was first carried away in part about B. C. 740, by Tiglath-pileser, 2Ki 15:29. The tribes east of the Jordan, with parts of Zebulun and Naphtali, Isa 9:1, were the first sufferers. Twenty years later, Shalmanezer carried away the remainder,

Cross references are the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge and the subject headings are Nave’s Topical Bible, both public domain. Works under Creative Commons licences are used unchanged apart from markup removal.

Everything we make is available for free because of a generous community of supporters.
