The curses of Deuteronomy 28
I have a second writing you can view here
The Curses outlined in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 28 are used by many Hebrew Israelite groups or camps as they are often referred to and individuals to prove that the true Israelites are black. They claim that the ONLY people that can be shown to fulfill the curses outlined in the chapter are the Black people in America whose ancestors were brought there via the Trans Atlantic Slave trade. It must be noted that some groups and individuals also include in their teachings the Native Americans and Hispanics as fellow Israelites. The black people of America being of the tribe of Judah in this understanding. Although they will say the “real” Israelites fit all the curses, which of course they would have to in their doctrine, they will often specifically go to certain verses that they believe best support their claim, while offering their evidence for the said claim. These verses are as follows.
Deuteronomy 28:16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
This they claim is fulfilled during the slavery in America when they were forced to work in the fields picking cotton., and today in the poverty of “their” cities.
Deuteronomy 28:37 and thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
This is claimed to be fulfilled by the fact that their true name, the Israelites, has been removed from them and they are now called , Nigger, Nigga, African American, Coon, Black and any other term that has been applied to them.
Deuteronomy 28:48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
This curse it is claimed was again fulfilled during the transatlantic slave trade where the slaves had yokes of Iron placed around their necks and were forced to work without being provided adequate food, water or clothing.
Deuteronomy 28:49 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;
Again claimed to have been fulfilled as part of the Transatlantic slave trade. This would obviously be a reference to the languages of the peoples that enslaved the Israelites. For example English. A language that the Israelites did not understand. The eagle being the symbol that represented many of the countries that took the Israelites captive. And of course is the symbol of America.
Deuteronomy 28:64 And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
The claim here is that the Israelites were scattered throughout the world during the Transatlantic slave trade. Not ALL claim this. The ones that state only the blacks taken to America are Israel do not adhere to this claim regarding all the captives taken in the transAtlantic Slave trade.
Deuteronomy 28:68 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
This verse is used to show that the Israelites would be taken into Egypt which also means slavery and would not see their homeland, the promised land anymore. They were sold unto their enemies, the white man, as slaves, both men and woman, and that nobody could redeemed/save them.
At face value, there is, at least it would seem, to be some support for their claim. However it is, as it always is, important that we analyze the claim and not simply take it on face value, and see if it holds up under scrutiny of analysis of the claim.
Basic understanding
First and foremost let’s first start with some basic understanding regarding the blessings and curses of Deuteronomy 28. These basic understandings need to be kept in sight at all times when we analyze the curses, as, without these understandings, false or incorrect interpretations can easily be read into the curses. As we will see, is exactly what has been done.
The blessings and curses were declared unto Israel BEFORE they had entered into the promised land. The blessings and curses that would be bestowed upon or would befall Israel by God, should they follow God and obey him, re the blessings, or fall away from God and disobey him, and thus the curses. They would either mean life in abundance, via God’s blessings or death and destruction, via God’s curses. We see that in verse 45 Moses reminded the people of the covenant that they had made with the Lord.
Deuteronomy 28:45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:
The covenant that the Israelites themselves, had agreed to adhere to, back at mount Sinai.
Exodus 24:3 And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do.
Before Moses outlined the curses he stated that the curses would come upon them if they did not follow God as they had agreed to do.
Deuteronomy 28:15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
Just as he had told the the blessings would come about through following God and obedience.
Deuteronomy 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe andto do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
It’s important, ney it’s actually fundamental to understand these blessings and curses were for Israel, ONLY while they were IN THE PROMISED LAND. This fact I simply must reiterate is paramount to correctly understanding the curses and their fulfillment.
Just as the law that the Israelites were to keep as part of the covenant was ONLY to be kept in the land. The Israelites did not keep the law between the time it was given and the time the Israelites entered into the promised land.
The Israelites were given many commands by God regarding when they came into the land, this was repeatedly stated before they arrived in the land.
Deuteronomy 18:9 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
Deuteronomy 26:1 And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein;
We also see this in Exodus:
Exodus 13:11 And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,
The covenant required their obedience and obedience is what they agreed to. Obedience in the promised land, which the Lord God would give them. This would lead to the Israelites possession of the land, living in abundance and under the protection of God. Disobedience the exact opposite, expulsion from the land, living in need and under no protection from God. The terms of the covenant simple with both parties in agreement.
We should also note that God didn’t give Israel the land because of anything they had done, but because he had made a promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Deuteronomy 9:5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
So let’s look at the curses. The curses start in verse 16.
CURSES
Deuteronomy 28:16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
As we already saw the Hebrew Israelites claim this is fulfilled during the slavery of the “black Americans” when the slaves were forced to pick cotton in the field.
However, this ISN’T what the verse means at all. Cursed in the field does not mean that the Israelites would be forced to work in fields. If this understanding was correct then the opposing blessing of verse 3 would simply mean that they would not have to work in the field.
Deuteronomy 28:3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
This simply cannot be the correct understanding of being blessed or cursed in the field. This is NOT talking about what would happen to them while in slavery. Also remember that, and this really is very important. It is what would happen IN the promised land. The curse that would come upon them would be the curse of the field. That in THEIR fields they would be cursed. Not in the fields of another land.
In fact in the very next verse the blessing of the field is expounded upon to understand its meaning.
Deuteronomy 28:4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
The blessing in the field would mean the field was good for produce and we see that the next blessing is good “fruit” or produce.
The curse therefore simply the opposite. The field would not be good for produce.
And in verses 17 and 18 we see that the produce was cursed.
Deuteronomy 28:17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
Deuteronomy verse 18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep
Simply put if they obeyed God in the promised land their land would be fertile and would produce much. There would be much produce available to buy and sell. If they disobeyed God in the promised land then the land would not be good for produce, and so, there would not be much produce.
This curse has absolutely nothing to do with being forced to pick cotton in the field while in slavery.
The curse of verse 19, being cursed when they come in and when they go out
Deuteronomy 28:19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
This is simply the opposite of the Hebrew idiom found in verse 6
Deuteronomy 28:6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
This idiom for the blessing simply meaning that their daily activities would be blessed. Obviously the curse meaning that the daily activities of the Israelites would not be blessed. Under the curse their daily activities would be a chore, they would find daily life a hard grind rather than the ease of life under the blessing.
Deuteronomy 28:20 The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
Here the curse meaning that through their disobedience, the Israelites, no matter what they did, or how much they tried, their endeavours would be fruitless, and death would, be it slow or prolonged, eventually come upon them. The land not producing, every day would be a struggle for them even unto their deaths.
This being the opposite from the blessing found in verse 8, where through obedience to God their endeavours would produce plentiful results. Whatever work they did would yield much success.
Deuteronomy 28:8 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
From verse 21 until verse 44 inclusive the Israelites are told in great detail what the results of the curses that God would bring about. The curses that had previously been mentioned in verses 16 through 20. These verses are not in themselves curses but rather a detailed description of how the curses of verses 16-20 would affect them.
Deuteronomy 28:21 The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.
Pestilence being the Hebrew דָּ֫בֶר deber pestilence or plagues.
The plagues that would cleave to the Israelites would consume them off the land, again the promised land.
Deuteronomy 28:22 The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
The Israelites would face death my many different diseases,
Consumption is the hebrew שַׁחֶ֫פֶתshachepheth which is a wasting disease
Fever is קַדַּ֫חַת qaddachath and is exactly that, a fever
Inflammation is דַּלֶּ֫קֶת dalleqeth which is inflammation or burning fever
extreme burning which is the Hebrew חַרְחֻר charchur which means an intense violent heat, fever
Death would also come by the way of the sword, through the attacks of their enemies.
Deuteronomy 28: 23And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.
The sky would be empty of water and the ground below would be like Iron, hard, due to the lack of rain brought about by the drought. This lack of water obviously would affect the produce of the land and so we have the full explanation of cursed in the field.
Deuteronomy 28:24 The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
The rain as dry as powder and dust. A simple metaphor for the lack of rain.
The Bible depicts many different droughts and famines that came upon the children of Israel through their disbelief.
Deuteronomy 28:25 The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
Here the Israelites being told that unlike in the blessing of verse 7 when they are in obedience and under God’s protection where their enemies would not prevail against them.
Deuteronomy 28:7 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
When the Israelites were in disobedience to God, and God’s protection removed from over them. It would be the LORD that would bring their enemies who would come against them, subsequently the Israelites would be defeated and flee from their enemies and be scattered.
Deuteronomy 28:26 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.
The Israelites dead bodies becoming food for the scavengers of the land and air. Even in death their bodies would find no rest.
Then comes a passage detailing different problems that the Israelites would face which include some of the plagues of Egypt, produce that they themselves would not enjoy, the loss of their children through captivity, being led themselves into captivity and having to worship other gods.
Deuteronomy 28:27 The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. 28 The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart: 29 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.30 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof. 31Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them. 32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand. 33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway: 34 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 35 The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. 36The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone. 37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
38 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.39 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them. 40 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit. 41 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity. 42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.43The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. 44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
These curses outlined by Moses would certainly not have come upon the Israelites as a surprise.
Moses had previously told them what would happen to those that lived in the land should they disobey God and turn away from him while in the land.
Deuteronomy 4:25 When thou shalt beget children, and children’s children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger: 26I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong yourdays upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed. 27 And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you. 28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
But of course they were reminded that obedience and serving God would result in God being merciful on them, not forgetting his covenant which included the blessings.
Deuteronomy 4:29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; 31(For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
Before we move on I would like to specifically address verse 37, which, as already highlighted at the beginning of this study, is often used by the Hebrew Israelites as part of their evidence that the curses apply to them.
Deuteronomy 28:37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
Byword is the Hebrew word שְׁנִינָה sheninah which means a cutting word or a taunt
And as already stated the Hebrew Israelites claim that their true name, which is Israelites, has been replaced with many different terms. Many of which are very distasteful and rather derogatory. They are a slur unto the person that they are directed at or a people as a whole. On this last statement I regarding the words used being a slur and very derogatory I most certainly would agree.
But the problem with this claim regarding the name , is that this obviously already assumes that they are in fact the Israelites. Of course, IF they are Israelites then calling them anything other than Israelites could be deemed as a byword, if those words which are used are used in the derogatory manner as many of the words aimed at black people so obviously are.
However if they are not Israelites then the name Israelite has NOT been removed at all, as it would never have been their name in the first place. The argument therefore, relies on an appeal to circle reasoning. One must already be assumed in order to prove the other.
Bywords are not only associated with “black Americans”. Native Americans have been labelled as (Red) Indians, the Inuit people as Eskimos, Asian people as chinks, and people from the middle east as Paki’s to name just a few.
We must also note that the term “Jew”, which today applies to anyone that is considered an Israelite, can in fact itself, be considered a byword. Jew is not the correct term or name for the children of Israel. Jew would only represent the southern Kingdom of the tribes of Judah, which is where we get the term Jew from, Benjamin and Levi. Jew would not apply to the tribes of the Northern Kingdom. The correct term for the children of Israel is Israelite and not Jew. Jew is often today used in a negative manner.
We also have to address the words “astonishment” and “proverb”, which are also stated in this verse that the Israelites would become.
Astonishment is the Hebrew word שַׁמָּה shammah and means a horror, appalling.
Proverb is the Hebrew word מָשָׁל mashal meaning proverb, or parable or in other words a story.
When we look at the verse in full what we get is that the story of the Israelites through their disobedience would become a thing of astonishment, a horror to the other nations. Rather than being a light unto them, the nations seeing the blessings bestowed upon them would see their being brought to nothing. Their name being something to use against them, being used to taunt them amongst the other nations.
And we see that at the end of the verse it is made very clear that it is God that is in control even over the enemies that are brought against them.
“among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.”
We then have 3 verses that are used by the Hebrew Israelites to show that the curses would be upon them forever, the curses are still in effect today. Thus is why they happened so recently with the Transatlantic Slave Trade (TAST) and why they still affect “Black” people in America today.
Deuteronomy 28:45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee: 46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.47 Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
They happen because the Israelites are still in disobedience and not serving the LORD. The curses still in full effect through the disobedience of the Israelites.
If we simply look at these verse without any application of context or understanding, they may very well seem to support the claim. However, we do have context and we do have understanding.We must apply what we already know about the curses. We already know that “all these curses (the curses outlined in the chapter) that shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed” would apply to the Israelites while they were in the promised land. Anytime that the Israelites were in the promised land the curses would apply should they fall into disobedience. This would be forever. Forever here being the Hebrew עוֹלָם Olam. Olam while it can mean a literal forever does not necessarily mean as such. Olam simply means the fulness of any specific time.
Jonah stated he was in the belly of the whale forever
Jonah 2:6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars wasabout me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
Forever being Olam. Jonah was in the belly of the whale the fulness of the 3 days and 3 nights.
But this is a separate side issue that actually centers around the first and 2nd covenants.
Back to the curses. The curses of the chapter applied ONLY when the Israelites disobeyed God while they were in the promised land. The curses did not. and do not apply while the Israelites were or are outside of the promised land. The curses would come upon the people while inside the promised land and would eventually destroy them as a people, or they would be driven from the land itself, either through desperation and need, or through captivity. Once the curses had been inflicted the Israelites would then have to deal with the consequences of the curses having befallen them. It did not mean that they would continue to be taken into captivity once in captivity. That would make no sense whatsoever. Neither did it mean that they would be driven out of the land and scattered and keep getting scattered once out of the land. Again this is just nonsense. Once the curse had been enacted upon them the curse was fulfilled. It would only then reapply if they came into obedience unto God again and were brought back into the promised land. After having returned to the promised land the curses would then be reenacted upon them should they again fall into disobedience to God. And it is this that would happen forever. This having been fulfilled in the Assyrian captivity of 772 BC where they were taken from the land. They returned again only to full into disobedience and then removed from the land under the Babylonian captivity of 597 BC and finally through the Roman wars and captivity. To try and input the scattering of the “Israelites” through the TAST into this simply fails to understand the curses and how, when and why they would come upon the Israelites. The Israelites had been scattered from their land in 70AD. The curses had been enacted. The Israelites had not returned to the land by the time of the TAST and neither did the TAST take anyone from the promised land. The TAST in no way can be understood to biblically fulfill the curses of Deuteronomy 28 even if some of the curses would seem to have similarities to the events of the TAST.
Now having said that we come to verses 48-51 which I personally would consider the strongest supporting evidence that the Hebrew Israelites have for their position.
Deuteronomy 28:48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.49The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; 50A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young: 51 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
It is historically documented and undeniable that the people taken during the TAST had yokes of Iron placed upon their necks. They most certainly did serve in hunger, thirst and nakedness and with a want for all things. The nation(S) plural and NOT nation as per the curse, that took the people captive certainly spoke a language that the people did not know. And they had little to no regard for age. The TAST was nothing less than vile. I do not say it lightly but I do not actually think that the English language has a word capable of accurately describing the abominable and repugnant, barbaric atrocity that was the TAST. The words I used do an injustice to its true horror. However regardless of this fact the TAST does NOT fulfill the curses of Deuteronomy 28 as I already have partly demonstrated.
Remember these curses were for the Israelites in their own land. This is again reiterated in verse 52.
Deuteronomy 28:52 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee
The enemy, the nation that would be brought against the Israelites, where they would place yokes of Iron around their necks, they would serve in hunger, thirst and nakedness and with a want for all things. A nation whose language they did not know. All of this would come upon the Israelites while they trusted in their gates, their high and fenced walls throughout their land, THE LAND THE LORD THY GOD HATH GIVEN THEE….This without any doubt whatsoever is a reference to the Israelites own land, the promised land. They would therefore, see that the protection that they relied so heavily on, the gates and walls of their own land, were not sufficient to protect them on their own. It was in fact, the protection that God gave them that was the true reason that their enemies were unable to hurt them, while the Israelites were in obedience to God as per the blessing of verse 7.
Deuteronomy 28:7 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
The Israelites would be besieged by the nation that would come upon them in their own land. Those nations that took the people captive during the TAST took them from Africa. This was NOT the promised land, the land that was theirs, the land that God had given them. They were not trusting in their own gates and high and fenced walls. They had already been removed from their land. This happened as already stated during the Roman-Jewish wars. Where the Jews WERE in their land trusting in their gates and high fenced walls. The nation, the Romans, although they would have spoken Greek their actual language was Latin, a language the Israelites would not have understood, took many many Israelites captive during these wars. The Bible often uses the word yoke to mean having dominion as it was used in the blessing of Esau that when he had dominion over Jacob, who he was told he would serve. Esau would break the yolk from his neck.
Genesis 27:40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
Now many Hebrew Israelites assert that the Iron yokes was ONLY fulfilled by the TAST and so thus proving that they fulfilled this curse. However, the same Hebrew Israelites will ALSO accept that Israel went into captivity in Assyria and Babylon…..but apparently the curse of yokes of iron was not fulfilled at this time, ONLY during the TAST.
It is very likely that the yokes being made of Iron figuratively represented the strength of the captivity.
If we MUST accept that the yokes here are literally Iron then how would we know the TAST was the fulfillment of Deuteronomy 28:48 and NOT Jeremiah 28:13-14 where it was stated that the NATIONS would have a yoke of Iron placed upon their neck.
Jeremiah 28: 13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron. 14 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also
If literal Iron is used because iron is stated and ONLY the TAST used literal yokes of Iron, then the Hebrew Israelites have a problem. It can just as easily be asserted that they are one of the nations of which God stated he would place a yoke of Iron upon.
It is a historical fact that the Romans did in fact use yokes around the neck of their captives (as did the Egyptians). The captors of the TAST were not the first and only captors to use yokes around the necks of their captees.
Josephus wrote
# Because the soldiers were now growing weary of bloodshed, and survivors appeared constantly, Caesar orders to kill only those who offered armed resistance and to take alive all the rest. (415) The troops, in addition to those covered by their orders, slaughtered the aged and infirm; people to their prime who might be useful they herded into the Temple area and shut up in the Court of the Women (lcl. (416) Caesar appointed one of his freedmen as their guard, his friend Fronto, to decide the fate appropriate to each. (417) All those who had taken part in sedition and brigandage (they informed against other) he executed. He picked out the tallest and handsomest of the lot and reserved them for the Triumph (418). Of the rest, those who were over seventeen he put in chains and sent to hard labor in Egypt while greet numbers were presented by Titus to the provinces to perish in the theaters by sword or by wild beasts; those under seventeen were sold. #
Josephus, “The Jewish Wars”; Book vi 9:2.
The Romans also had the Eagle as their symbol, should we require, as many Hebrew Israelites do assert, the “as swift as the eagle flieth” to refer to the symbol of the nation, rather than the very obvious and correct understanding regarding the speed on which the nation would come upon them.
However it must also be stated that America, which is the country that the Hebrew Israelites associate with the eagle, is not the only country to have the Eagle as its emblem, including but not limited to, Austria, Mexico, Poland, Romania, Russia and Indonesia.
Then comes a rather disturbing passage, described in detail, where the Israelites are told they would eat the “fruit of thine own body” or more simply put, children.
Deuteronomy 28:53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee: 54So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave: 55So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. 56The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, 57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
Aside from the very obvious connotations of an act like this. This obviously would violate many of the commands of the law that the Israelites were to follow. Killing, touching a dead body and defiling their own body.
We are told of this happening biblically in a rather disturbing story depicted in 2 kings chapter 6. During one particular famine, 2 Israelite woman agree together to eat their children. One day they would eat one woman’s child and the next they would eat the child of the other woman. This they do so of one woman’s child, while the 2nd woman then refuses to do so of hers, when it is her turn.
2 Kings 6:24 And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria. 25 And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass’s head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver. 26 And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king. 27 And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress? 28And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow. 29 So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son. 30 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh. 31 Then he said, God do so and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.
Josephus also wrote the following regarding the eating of their own children.
“Famine gnawed at her vitals, and the fire of rage was ever fiercer than famine. So, driven by fury and want, she committed a crime against nature. Seizing her child, an infant at the breast, she cried, “My poor baby, why should I keep you alive in this world of war and famine? Even if we live till the Romans come, they will make slaves of us; and anyway, hunger will get us before slavery does; and the rebels are crueler than both. Come, be food for me, and an avenging fury to the rebels, and a tale of cold horror to the world to complete the monstrous agony of the Jews.” With these words she killed her son, roasted the body, swallowed half of it, and stored the rest in a safe place. But the rebels were on her at once, smelling roasted meat, and threatening to kill her instantly if she did not produce it. She assured them she had saved them a share, and revealed the remains of her child. Seized with horror and stupefaction, they stood paralyzed at the sight. But she said, “This is my own child, and my own handiwork. Eat, for I have eaten already. Do not show yourselves weaker than a woman, or more pitiful than a mother. But if you have pious scruples, and shrink away from human sacrifice, then what I have eaten can count as your share, and I will eat what is left as well.” At that they slunk away, trembling, not daring to eat, although they were reluctant to yield even this food to the mother. The whole city soon rang with the abomination. When people heard of it, they shuddered, as though they had done it themselves.”
Then comes the declaration that should the Israelites disobey God, then he would bring about the plagues that were brought on Egypt, before the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. Plus a few others just for good measure.
Deuteronomy 28:58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; 59Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. 60 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. 61 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. 62 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.63 And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
We then get to verse 64, another verse I have already highlighted at the start of this study that is commonly used by the Hebrew Israelites.
Deuteronomy 28:64 And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
Here it is the Hebrew Israelites claim the TAST scattered the Israelites amongst all people, serving false gods that the previous generations of Israelites have not known. They claim that this is a reference to Christianity.
As we have seen this understanding just cannot be applied into this verse. We must remember this curse, like all the other curses was for when the Israelites were in the promised land and not for outside of it. The Israelites having already been scattered during the Roman-Jewish wars would have had to have reconveined back into the promised land for this curse to have been able to have been reapplied. Something we know did not happen before the TAST. The taking of the people from Africa could not have fulfilled the curse detailed in this verse as those people were not in the promised land.
Deuteronomy 28:65 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life: 67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
Here we see that amongst the nations that the Israelites would be scattered they would find no peace, no comfort. Because of their fear for their own lives they would wish for the evening when it was morning and wish for the morning when it was evening. Every hour would be the same whether it be day or night. The Israelites would live in perpetual fear without the comfort and protection of their own land and their God.
We then have the final curse in verse 68. Although as I stated earlier, my personal opinion is that verses 48-51 are the strongest support for the Hebrew Israelite position, this verse I find, and I speak only from my personal experience, it is this verse that most Hebrew Israelites are drawn towards as their verse that best supports their position, or at least they often start the defense of their position with it.
Deuteronomy 28:68 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
The claim being that this verse refers to the transatlantic slave trade where black people were taken from Africa by ships and taken to America where they were sold unto their enemies as slaves.
The interpretation of the verse being as such
Deuteronomy 28:68 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt (slavery/america) again with ships (literal ships), by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again(Israel) : and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies(the white race) for bondmen and bondwomen (slaves), and no man shall buy( redeem) you.
We have already demonstrated that the TransAtlantic Slave Trade cannot fulfill the curses. However let’s break this interpretation of this verse down and show that even the interpretation cannot work.
First let’s start with Egypt meaning slavery
Deuteronomy 28:68 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt (slavery/america) again
Egypt has been taken figuratively as meaning slavery and also means America. We already know that America is linked to this slavery via the Eagle in chapter 49 which has already been explained.
Egypt in Hebrew however does not mean slavery. There is not one verse in the Bible where Egypt in of itself means slavery. Egypt means the physical land or a people.
The Hebrew word is מִצְרָ֫יִם Mitzrayim and means Egypt, the proper name of a territory or a people.
Mizraim was the son of Ham one of the 3 sons of Noah
Genesis 10:6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
A verse that is often used as support for taking Egypt as meaning slavery is Exodus 20:2
Exodus 20:2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
It is claimed that Bondage being linked to Egypt.
However the verse doesn’t actually do what it is claimed it does. It very clearly distinguishes between Egypt and bondage. While it is very true that the Israelites were slaves in Egypt, Egypt is separated from slavery, there are 2 separate referents, Egypt and bondage. They were in bondage, in Egypt. Both the word for Egypt Mitzrayim and the Hebrew word for bondage ‘ă-ḇā-ḏîm. עֲבָדִֽ֑ים׃ from the root ebed are used in this verse.
When the word Egypt is used in the Bible it always refers to the physical place or the people of Egypt and never bondage. Egypt is simply not used as meaning bondage. When God wants to refer to Egypt and the bondage in Egypt then both are referenced. If just Egypt is used then it is not in reference to the bondage in Egypt but the physical land Egypt or its people.
Over and over the Bible uses both Egypt and bondage together.
Deuteronomy 5:6 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
Micah 6:4 For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
Judges 6:8 That the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;
Joshua 24:17 For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:
Jeremiah 34:13 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying
The Israelites were brought out of slavery but also out of the physical land of Egypt. It is possible to be brought out of slavery but not removed from a physical land and vise versa. The land of Egypt the physical place of is separated from the physical act of the bondage.
I have seen another verse used to demonstrate that Egypt means Slavery
Hosea 9:3 They shall not dwell in the LORD’S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean thingsin Assyria.
The claim here being is that Ephraim (a reference to the Northern kingdom of Israel) will go into Egypt but then it states that they will eat unclean things in Assyria. This is a reference to the Assyrian captivity of 722 bc, Assyria is not Egypt so we see that they didn’t go into physical Egypt but captivity in Assyria and so Egypt is clearly a reference to captivity not the physical land of Egypt.
This verse may at first glance appear to prove exactly what it is claimed it does.
When we actually look at the verse we will see that there are 2 separate prophecies here. One that Ephraim will go back into Egypt AND those that go into Assyria would eat unclean things. This just means that the Israelites would not be allowed to follow their laws regarding food. The verse does not link Egypt to captivity.
We cannot simply take this one verse and ignore all the other verses that very clearly distinguish between the physical land of Egypt and the physical bondage.
Deuteronomy 19:15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
We cannot let one witness overrule numerous witnesses to the contrary.
There are 2 explanations for the fulfillment of this verse. The first being the fact that Ephraim did go back into Egypt shortly BEFORE the Assyrian captivity. In fact it was one of the reasons that the king of Assyria invaded Israel in the first place. They gave gifts to the king of Egypt.
2 kings 17:1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years. 2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him. 3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents. 4 And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.
In a prophecy in Isaiah we see that the Lord will recover a remnant of his people. One of the places will be from EGYPT
Isaiah 11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
Therefore we see that Ephraim at some point have gone back into PHYSICAL Egypt.
There is evidence that there was a remnant of Ephraim (the Northern Kingdom that escaped the Assyrians and went to dwell in the Southern Kingdom.
2 Chronicles 1:1-11
Specifically verse 6 So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
So if there was a remnant of the Northern kingdom living in the southern kingdom then it is possible that when the Judeans fled into Egypt when the Babylonians came against them in 597 bc that some of those would have been from Ephraim.
2 kings 25:25 But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah. 26 And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.
This is also told by Jeremiah in chapter 43
6Even men, and women, and children, and the king’s daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah. 7So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: thus
So Ephraim has gone into Egypt, physical Egypt and will be recovered from Egypt.
What about the ships. Well the ships here are physical ships. The verse apparently going from figurative Egypt to literal physical ships. As we know the slaves in the TAST were transported via ships. BUT as we know not taken from the promised land. As we already saw via the writings of Josephus, back at verse 48, the Israelite captives were taken to PHYSICAL Egypt.
“Of the rest, those who were over seventeen he put in chains and sent to hard labor in Egypt while greet numbers were presented by Titus to the provinces to perish in the theaters by sword or by wild beasts; those under seventeen were sold. “
Josephus, “The Jewish Wars”; Book vi 9:2.
Munter records that the Israelites were taken by ship.
Munter was a Roman Historian who wrote that the Israelites were sold unto their enemies however due to the vast numbers buyers could not be found for many of them and they were not bought. Those who were not bought were taken to Egypt in ships.
# Now that Betar had been captured, everything came under Human control, while Palestine [Judah] was reduced to a desolate mound. Captives were sold into slavery in numbers too great to count. First they were brought to the grand annual market at the Terebinth-Eloh tree in Hebron, or in the words of Hyranumous, to the Tent-Ohel of Abraham near Hebron. Each slave sold for the price of a horse. Those captives who were not sold there were brought to the market place in Azza [Gaza] which, because of the great multitudes of slaves who were sold there, was called Hadrian’s marketplace. And those who were still not sold there were herded into ships and were taken to Egypt. Many died in transit, whether by starvation or by shipwreck, while many also were killed by cruel masters.
Munter, Primordia Eccl. Africanae, pp. 85f.,113.
This is actually a fulfillment of Daniel chapter 11
Daniel 11:30 For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.
Daniel in his vision saw the Abomination of desolation, the destruction of the Temple which occurred in 70 AD
They would be taken by Chittim BY SHIPS.
Now who was Chittim?
Chittim was a son of Javan
Genesis 10:4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
Javan was a son of Japheth
Genesis 10:2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
The Bible very clearly predicts the Temple destruction and states that it would be Chittim which were the Romans that would take the Jews into captivity via ships ( which as we saw was done) And they also went into PHYSICAL Egypt.
Another problem by saying that the transAtlantic slave trade of Black people is the fulfillment of this verse is that circle reasoning needs to be invoked. If all other occurrences of slaves being transported by ships (Barbary slave trade, Slavic slave trade to name just 2) are rejected and only the trans Atlantic slave trade is accepted then it would already need to be believed that black people are the Israelites for this to be a fulfillment of the verse. However it would also then have to be believed that the transAtlantic slave trade fulfills the scripture for it to support the Israelites are black.
A very basic appeal to circle reasoning which does not prove anything.
Thou shalt see it no more again.
The Hebrew Israelites claim that the land that is being stated they will not see again, is the promised land, Israel.
Let’s look at the land that they will not see again which is stated is in reference to Israel.:
Firstly we cannot simply take this one section of the verse and isolate it. This is in continuation of the previous part of the verse.
Deuteronomy 28:68 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again:
There is no reference to Israel in this verse but Egypt. God had told the Israelites that they would not see Egypt again if they followed him.
To input Israel as the place they would not see again is to ignore the context of the verse and the very clear reference to Egypt.
It was Egypt that God said many times that they would not see again, not Israel.
Exodus 13:14 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
Deuteronomy 17:16 But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
Jeremiah 42:19 The LORD hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.
Israel or the promised land is the EXACT land that they were meant to see.
The transatlantic slave trade did not take Israelites from Israel to America but Africans from Africa to America.
This leads us into the final part of the verse.
“and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you”.
Here it is asserted that this means that the black Israelites would be sold as slaves and that no man could redeem them.
However the Hebrew word used in no man shall buy you is קָנָה qanah It means to buy,to purchase , to acquire. It does not mean to redeem.
Redeem has its own Hebrew word פָּדָה padah to redeem, to ransom. This word is not used in this verse.
The verse actually means what it actually states, they will be sold to the enemies to be slaves however they will not be bought, this means they literally will not be bought NOT that they will not be redeemed. “Black” people were bought during the transatlantic slave trade and although very few in comparison to how many went into slavery, many black people were also purchased/redeemed out of slavery.
As we saw in the writings of Munter he describes the fact that due to the vast numbers of captives not all could find buyers and were taken BY SHIPS to EGYPT.
“Those captives who were not sold there were brought to the market place in Azza [Gaza] which, because of the great multitudes of slaves who were sold there, was called Hadrian’s marketplace. And those who were still not sold there were herded into ships and were taken to Egypt. Many died in transit, whether by starvation or by shipwreck, while many also were killed by cruel masters.”
Munter, Primordia Eccl. Africanae, pp. 85f.,113.
JPS tanakh 1917 translates the verse as
Deuteronomy 28:68 And the LORD shall bring thee back into Egypt in ships, by the way whereof I said unto thee: ‘Thou shalt see it no more again’; and there ye shall sell yourselves unto your enemies for bondmen and for bondwoman, and no man shall buy you.
Targum Yonatan ben Uziel paraphrased the verse
And Hashem will exile you hack to Egypt in ships by way of the Reed Sea that you once crossed and concerning which I said: You shall not see it again! And there you will be sold into servitude to your enemies for large sums of money as crafts-men. And afterwards (you will be sold) cheaply as slaves and maidservants, until you will be cheapened (and try) to sell yourselves for nothing, and no one will take you in
These 2 translations would have the meaning that the Israelites would try to sell themselves as slaves but nobody would buy them which would have been an ultimate insult.
This was as we have seen, fulfilled during the Roman Jewish wars when there were so many Jews taken as slaves that buyers could not be found for all of them.
Finally questions are often asked by the Hebrew Israelites. When were the Jews that are in the land ever subject to the curses that are outlined in Deuteronomy 28? When were they taken by ships into slavery? Had yokes put around their necks? These questions work off of the incorrect understanding that the curses apply outside of the promised land. That they are still in effect today. Of course we cannot see the curses occuring today or having occurred anytime since 70 AD. Simply because the Israelites have not been in the land since then for the curses to apply. The curses were fulfilled last in 70 AD. The last time the Jews were in the land. Now of course there are Jews in the land of Israel. Time will only tell if the curses will be enforced again through their disobedience.
So having demonstrated that the claim of the “black” Americans, who proclaim themselves as the real Israelites is actually incorrect, I would just like to finish with one final point. And it is quite a simple one. There is not one curse or a verse that said that the true Israelites would forget who they were and be replaced by a nation of fake Israelites. Something to ponder over anyway.
