Deuteronomy 28:1 opens the same blessings section with the same condition — obedient Israel will be blessed. A close parallel within the same passage.

Deuteronomy 28:44 reverses the blessing: 'he shall be the head, you the tail' — the exact opposite curse for disobedience.

Deuteronomy 15:6 also promises ruling over nations and lending, directly paralleling the 'head' blessing here. Both are covenant blessings.

Deuteronomy 4:6-9 promises wisdom and honor among nations for keeping the commandments, similarly tying obedience to exaltation.

Isaiah 9:14 shows God cutting off head and tail in judgment — the opposite of the blessing here. A stark contrast between reward and punishment.

2 Samuel 22:44 has David celebrating being made head of the nations, a direct fulfillment of the covenant blessing promised here.

Isaiah 9:15 identifies the head as the elder and the tail as the false prophet, defining the same metaphor used in the blessing here.
