Chapter 29
29th Chapter of Deuteronomy May Look Like a Broken Record Reemphasizing the Same Instructions Yet Still Being Ignored If Not Turned Down
Question:
1. When or Where In The Bible Did G-d Revealed Himself Or His Identity?
Read Exodus chapters 3 and 20
If He is Jesus, G-d the Son or 3-in-1 G-d, those places could have been the best places to do it.
Why?
Simply because He is not!
“Moses’ Final Charge to the People”
“Renewal of the Covenant”
“Warning Against Idolatry”
… “You have seen everything that Hashem did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land –
29:1
the great trials that your eyes beheld, those great signs and wonders,
29:2
But Hashem did not give you a heart to know, or eyes to see, or ears to hear until this day.
29:3
I led you forty years in the Wilderness, your garment did not wear out from on you, and your shoe did not wear out from on your foot.
:4
You shall observe the words of this covenant, so that you will succeed in all you do.”
:8
In order to establish you today as a people to Him and that He be a God to you, as He spoke to you and as He swore to your forefathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
:12
Not with you alone do I seal this covenant and this imprecation,
:13
but with whoever is here, standing with us today before Hashem, our God, and with whoever is not here with us today.
:14
And you saw their abominations and their detestable idols – of wood and stone, of silver and gold that were with them.
:16
Perhaps there is among you a man or a woman, or a family or tribe, whose heart turns away today from being with Hashem, our God, to go and serve the gods of those nations; perhaps there is among you a root flourishing with gall and wormwood.
:17
And it will be that when he hears the words of this imprecation, he will bless himself in his heart, saying, “Peace will be with me, though I walk as my heart sees fit: –
:18
Hashem will not be willing to forgive him, for then Hashem’s anger and jealousy will smoke against that man, and the entire imprecation written in this Book will come down upon him, and Hashem will erase his name from under heaven.
:19
Hashem will set him aside for evil from among the tribes of Israel, like all the imprecations of the covenant that is written in this Book of the Torah.
:20
And they will say, “Because they forsook the covenant of Hashem, the God of their forefathers, that He sealed with them when He took them out of the land of Egypt;
:24
and they went and served the gods of others and prostrated themselves to them – gods they knew not and He did not apportion to them.
:25
The hidden [sins] are of Hashem, our God, but the revealed [sins] are for us and our children forever, to carry out all the words of this Torah.
:28
1 And Moses called all of Israel and said to them, “You have seen all that the Lord did before your very eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, to all his servants, and to all his land;
2 the great trials which your very eyes beheld and those great signs and wonders.
3 Yet until this day, the Lord has not given you a heart to know, eyes to see and ears to hear.
4 I led you through the desert for forty years [during which time] your garments did not wear out from upon you, nor did your shoes wear out from upon your feet.
5 You neither ate bread, nor drank new wine or old wine, in order that you would know that I am the Lord, your God.
6 And then you arrived at this place. And Sihon, the king of Heshbon, and Og, the king of Bashan, came out towards us in battle, and we smote them.
7 And we took their land, and we gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.
8 And you shall observe the words of this covenant and fulfill them, in order that you will succeed in all that you do.
9 You are all standing this day before the Lord, your God the leaders of your tribes, your elders and your officers, every man of Israel,
10 your young children, your women, and your convert who is within your camp both your woodcutters and your water drawers,
11 that you may enter the covenant of the Lord, your God, and His oath, which the Lord, your God, is making with you this day,
12 in order to establish you this day as His people, and that He will be your God, as He spoke to you, and as He swore to your forefathers to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
13 But not only with you am I making this covenant and this oath,
14 but with those standing here with us today before the Lord, our God, and [also] with those who are not here with us, this day.
15 For you know how we dwelled in the land of Egypt, and how we passed among the nations through which you passed.
16 And you saw their abominations and their repugnant idols [of] wood and stone, silver and gold which were with them.
17 Perhaps there is among you a man, woman, family, or tribe, whose heart strays this day from the Lord, our God, to go and worship the deities of those nations. Perhaps there is among you a root that produces hemlock and wormwood.
18 And it will be, when he [such a person] hears the words of this oath, that he will bless himself in his heart, saying, “I will have peace, even if I follow my heart’s desires,” in order to add the [punishment for the] unintentional sins [of this man] to that of [his] intentional sins.
19 The Lord will not be willing to forgive him; rather, then, the Lord’s fury and His zeal will fume against that man, and the entire curse written in this book will rest upon him, and the Lord will obliterate his name from beneath the heavens.
20 And the Lord will separate him for evil, out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant, written in this Torah scroll.
21 And a later generation, your descendants, who will rise after you, along with the foreigner who comes from a distant land, will say, upon seeing the plagues of that land and the diseases with which the Lord struck it:
22 Sulfur and salt have burned up its entire land! It cannot be sown, nor can it grow [anything], not [even] any grass will sprout upon it. It is like the overturning of Sodom, Gemorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord overturned in His fury and in His rage.
23 And all the nations will say, Why did the Lord do so to this land? What [is the reason] for this great rage of fury?
24 Then they will say, It is because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, God of their fathers, [the covenant] which He made with them when He took them out of the land of Egypt,
25 For they went and served other deities, prostrating themselves to them deities which they had not known, and which He had not apportioned to them.
26 And the Lord’s fury raged against that land, bringing upon it the entire curse written in this book.
27 And the Lord uprooted them from upon their land, with fury, anger and great wrath, and He cast them to another land, as it is this day.
28 The hidden things belong to the Lord, our God, but the revealed things apply to us and to our children forever: that we must fulfill all the words of this Torah.

TORAH
(Law)
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.
