26 He said, “If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you.” (New International Version)
God promised that if the people obeyed him, they would be free of the diseases that plagued the Egyptians.
Little did they know that many of the moral laws he later gave them were disigned to keep them free from sickness. God’s laws for us are often disigned to keep us from harm.
