Notes

Deuteronomy 11:24

where your foot treads: This idea suggests claiming a territory by placing a foot on it or walking through it (see Genesis 13:17; Joshua 1:3; 14:9).

Deuteronomy 11:8–32

Here, Moses adds to the covenant stipulations (the commands in chapters 5–11) a list of blessings and curses. These blessings and curses are similar to the longer list that appears at the end of the covenant text in 27–28. They show the results of obeying or disobeying the covenant.
