Tradition attributes the authorship of the Book of Deuteronomy to Moses, but scholars attribute the book, or most of it (including chapter 28), to an anonymous author now known as the Deuteronomist, writing during the seventh-century-BCE reign of King Josiah in Jerusalem.

Leading up to chapter 28 is a list of commands to be followed. The first part of chapter 28 offers blessings to those who follow those commandments, then the second half of the chapter is a matching list of curses for those failing to do so (from 28:16: Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field ...).

Deuteronomy chapter 28 discusses the blessings and curses that the Israelites will experience based on their obedience or disobedience to God's commands. It emphasizes the importance of following God's laws and the consequences of turning away from Him. Ultimately, it serves as a reminder of the covenant relationship between God and His people.

In Deuteronomy 28, God states that the Israelites will prosper if and when they fulfill His will; and they will have tribulations and suffering if they disobey His will. The manner in which these prophecies have come true is quite striking, including the recent return of the Israelites (Jews) to Israel (Deuteronomy ch.30).
