Notes

Deuteronomy 26:16–19

Moses explained the main covenant principles (chapters 5–11) and clarified their application (chapters 12–26). Then Moses urged the people to obey the covenant with all their hearts.

The Lord had called them into a special relationship with himself, a privilege that required obedience to the covenant prescriptions. The result of this submission was holiness, a state that reflected God’s character and that would flow naturally from unbroken fellowship with him.
