What Does Deuteronomy 29:27 Mean?
'Kindled' means ignited, set ablaze. God's anger was not casual or restrained. It flared against the land and its people. This anger was not impulsive but grounded in covenant terms: 'all the curses that are written in this book.'
The judgment is comprehensive. Every curse promised in the law code comes into effect. The people made a choice when they broke covenant. God, faithful to His word, enacted the consequences they themselves triggered.
