Notes

Deuteronomy 29:27

The phrase this book refers at least to the book of Deuteronomy. It may also refer to the first five books of the Old Testament. These five books are called the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy).

Deuteronomy 29:25–28

This explanation anticipates a future when people would look back at Israel’s history of rebellion and easily understand why they were in exile.

Deuteronomy 29:2–30:20

As Moses prepared to die, he spoke a farewell message to Israel. In this message, he briefly reviewed their history since they left Egypt.

He urged the nation to promise loyalty to the Lord. This part of Deuteronomy shows that grace (God’s undeserved favor) is not only a New Testament teaching. Grace is the foundation of the Lord’s relationship with Israel.
