Deuteronomy 29 · Grade 5

A Covenant for Generations

Name Date

Read and Think

Deuteronomy 29 begins the covenant renewal in Moab, adding to the covenant made at Horeb. The whole nation stood before Yahweh. Leaders, men, wives, and little ones were there, along with foreigners, woodcutters, and water carriers. The covenant was also with those not here with us today, extending to later generations. God's covenant always gathers the whole community, the humble and the great.

Moses recalled God's care. There were plagues in Egypt and forty years of clothing and sandals that did not wear out. There was victory over Sihon and Og. Yet Yahweh has not given you a heart to know, eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day. Israel needed an inner change only God could give. Chapter 30 picks up this theme with the promise of a circumcised heart.

Moses warned against anyone who hears the curse yet blesses himself in his heart. He thinks he will have peace while walking in stubbornness. Such idolatry would bring ruin like Sodom and Gomorrah. The nations would ask why. The chapter closes with a principle for all Bible reading: The secret things belong to Yahweh our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
