Deuteronomy 7:15

take away … all sickness Exodus 23:25 (edit.).

evil diseases of Egypt In Exodus 15:26 (edit.) the sicknesses(another word) refers to the special plagues brought on the Egyptians by Jehovah for Israel's sake. Here the reference is rather to the natural ailments of men of which in antiquity Egypt was notoriously the source: elephantiasis, -Aegypti peculiare malum" (Pliny, H.N.xxvi. 1, 5), ophthalmia, dysentery, but especially the bubonic plague (Hecataeus of Abdera in Diod. Sic. xl. 3). See the present writer's Hist. Geog. of the Holy Land, 157 f., 670; and cp. below note on Deuteronomy 28:27.

which thou knowest hast had experience of, see on Deuteronomy 7:9.
