Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Deuteronomy 30:18
I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, [and that] ye shall not prolong [your] days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
18. denounce ] An archaism for announce. The Heb. simply means declare, Deu 17:9; Deu 17:11, R.V. shew and tell of a judgement, i.e. make it public; Deu 26:3 R.V. profess.
unto you ] Change to the Pl. address confirmed by Sam. LXX; it is striking that the following phrase, surely perish, also occurs in Deu 8:19, which is likewise an interruption of the Sg. by the Pl. address, and is found in Deut. only with the Pl. See on Deu 8:19.
ye shall not prolong, etc.] Elsewhere both with Sg. and Pl.; see on Deu 4:26.
thou passest over Jordan ] Sam. LXX, ye; perhaps rightly, but see on Deu 6:1.

[and that] ye shall not prolong [your] days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it; but be cut short by death, of one kind or another, by sword, or famine, or pestilence, or be carried into captivity; one or other of which were frequently their case.
