Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Deuteronomy 28:44
He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
He shall lend to thee, and thou shall not lend to him,…. The stranger, or one of another nation, shall be in a capacity of lending to the Jew, when the Jew would not be able to lend to the Gentile, his circumstances being so low and mean; to show which is the design of the expression, and not the kindness or unkindness of either; see De 28:12;
he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail; he shall be ruler and governor, and thou shalt be subject to him; see De 28:13.
