Deuteronomy covers a lot of the Israelites’ history. It begins with a recap of the Israelites escaping slavery in Egypt and continues with their journey to Mount Horeb/Sinai. In the book, Moses receives the Ten Commandments and other laws before he transitions power to Joshua and dies.
It’s important to remember that this wasn’t just a story; it was a covenant, a binding agreement between God and His chosen people. Moses reminds them of their past failings – the golden calf, the refusal to enter the Promised Land the first time around – as a warning.
He emphasizes the importance of obedience to God’s laws, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their continued prosperity and blessing in the land they are about to inherit. He lays out the consequences of disobedience as well, painting a stark picture of exile and hardship if they turn away from God.
