Egypt's plagues brought upon covenant-breakers.
What Does Deuteronomy 28:60 Mean?
The plagues of Egypt, which Israel witnessed and feared, are brought upon Israel. The reference connects Israel's covenant-breaking to Egypt's fate: both experience judgment. The diseases cleave—stick, adhere relentlessly—showing they cannot be shaken off.
This echoes verse 27. Egypt was Israel's oppressor; now Israel faces Egypt's plagues. Covenant-breaking makes Israel subject to the same judgment.
