Notes

Deuteronomy 29:7

  • King Sihon of Heshbon, ruler of the Amorites, had controlled an area from the Arnon River to the Ammonite border. See Numbers 21:31–35.

  • Heshbon: See Deuteronomy 1:4; 2:24.

  • King Og of Bashan had ruled an Amorite kingdom east of the Sea of Galilee (see 3:1).

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.
