Deuteronomy 29:16. Egypt Where you have seen their idolatries, and learned too much of them, as the golden calf showed, and therefore have need to renew your covenant with God; where also we were in dreadful bondage, whence God alone hath delivered us; to whom therefore we are deeply obliged, and have all reason to renew our covenant with him. We came through the nations With what hazard, if God had not appeared for us! read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 29:1-29

The covenant renewed (29:1-30:20)Israel’s lack of understanding of God and his ways meant that the people needed constant reminders of the covenant’s purpose, meaning and requirements. Moses gave them such a reminder in this his farewell address to the nation, acting as God’s representative in the renewal of the covenant as he had done at the establishment of the covenant at Sinai (Horeb) (29:1-9). The renewed oath of allegiance that the people swore before entering Canaan was binding on future... read more

WARNING AGAINST DISOBEDIENCE"(for ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which we passed, and ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them); lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from Jehovah our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 29:17

Ver. 17. Ye have seen their abominations, and their idols— These words shew, that the practice of idolatry was old and inveterate, both among the Egyptians, and the other nations through which the Israelites passed. This and the preceding verse contain further motives to incline them to enter into covenant with God: first, because God had brought them out of Egypt, and through other nations; and, secondly, because they had an opportunity to discern the folly of these people in worshipping such... read more

VI. MOSES’ THIRD MAJOR ADDRESS: AN EXHORTATION TO OBEDIENCE 29:2-30:20"The rest of chapter 29 contains many reminiscences of the Near Eastern treaty pattern. It is not presented in a systematic manner but in narrative form. However, elements of the pattern are clearly discernible, making it extremely likely that some kind of covenant ceremony underlies the events here reported." [Note: Thompson, p. 279.] The form of this section argues for it being a covenant renewal. There is a historical... read more

3. The consequences of disobedience 29:16-29This generation needed to obey the laws of the Mosaic Covenant (Deuteronomy 29:21) under which the nation already lived to experience the maximum benefits of this covenant. The maximum benefits included not only ownership of the land but also the use (occupation) of it. The rebellious Israelite could anticipate physical death (Deuteronomy 29:20). Disobedience to the Mosaic Covenant (Deuteronomy 29:25) would result in the Israelites being driven out of... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 29:1-29

Exhortations and WarningsIn this chapter the covenant is renewed and enforced with a reminder of God’s goodness and the consequences of disobedience.3. Temptations] i.e. provings or trials: see n Deuteronomy 7:19. 4. The people have not laid these things to heart. For the form of expression see on the ’hardening of Pharaoh’s heart’ (Exodus 4:21). 6.
