will put none: The Israelites, if obedient, would have been subject to no maladies but those common to fallen man, and generally very healthy and long lived; being exempted from pestilential diseases, which have often most tremendously scourged guilty nations; and from such maladies in particular, as they had witnessed in Egypt, by which God afflicted their cruel oppressors ( Exo 15:26). This must be referred to the national covenant; for though godliness often secures the most solid temporal advantages, yet temporal blessings were not, even among them, uniformly dispensed to individuals according to their obedience; but they were to the nation, with an exactness which is not observed towards any other people. Lev 26:3, Lev 26:4 will put none: Deu 28:27, Deu 28:60; Exo 9:11, Exo 15:26; Psa 105:36, Psa 105:37 Deuteronomy 7:16
