Notes

  • God emphasizes that he and no one else rescued Israel.

  • The nation should eagerly accept God's word (compare Deuteronomy 8:3; Ezekiel 3:1).

God pleads with his people to remember the covenant and the Ten Commandments.

This warning message invites Israel to worship only the Lord and to enjoy the fullness of his blessing.
