And will take away from thee all sickness, etc.] 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 upon thee; meaning either the plagues that were inflicted upon them to oblige them to let the Israelites go, of which they had perfect knowledge; or else some noxious and nauseous diseases, which were common among, and peculiar to, the Egyptians, particularly what is called the botch of Egypt; see (<021526>Exodus 15:26), likewise the leprosy; (see Gill on “<031302>Leviticus 13:2”), (see Gill on “<052827>Deuteronomy 28:27”). but will lay them upon all them that hate thee; with which God sometimes punishes his and his people’s enemies; (see <070509>Judges 5:9 <661610>Revelation 16:10,11).
