Hi,
"The first answer [of seven that he presents, from various sources] is that the good and bad mentioned in
the passages of the [biblical] covenant are neither reward nor punishment for mitzvot.
True reward or punishment would be spiritual, affecting the soul in the world
of souls, and reward for mitzvot is not in this world. The Torah did not want
to mention reward for mitzvot and their true punishment, so that one would
serve his Creator altruistically, not due to expectation of punishment."
(Don Isaac Abarbanel to Vayikra 26:1)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
