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 - Exodus 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. Leviticus 26:3, Leviticus 26:4
will put none: Deuteronomy 28:27, Deuteronomy 28:60, Exodus 9:11, Exodus 15:26, Psalms 105:36, Psalms 105:37
Reciprocal: Exodus 23:25 - I will take Leviticus 14:34 - I put the plague of leprosy Psalms 91:10 - neither Isaiah 33:24 - the inhabitant Amos 4:10 - pestilence Revelation 16:2 - a noisome
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And will take away from thee all sickness,.... 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 Exodus 15:26, likewise the leprosy;
Exodus 15:26- :,
Exodus 15:26- :.
but will lay them upon all them that hate thee; with which God sometimes punishes his and his people's enemies; see Judges 5:9.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
There seems to be here not so much as a reference to the plagues inflicted miraculously by God on Egypt (compare Exodus 15:26), as to the terrible diseases with which, above other countries, Egypt was infested. Compare Deuteronomy 28:27, Deuteronomy 28:35. It is not without significance that Egypt, which represents in Scripture the world as contrasted with the Church, should thus above other lands lie under the power of disease and death.
