Commentary for Deuteronomy 11:5

Deuteronomy 11:5 is part of the second discourse of Moses to the Israelites, which occurs in the book of Deuteronomy, a book that recapitulates the Law given to Israel by God through Moses. This verse is situated within a larger passage (Deuteronomy 11:1-7) that calls the Israelites to love and obey God, reminding them of His mighty acts and promises.

The historical context of Deuteronomy 11:5 is the period just before the Israelites enter the Promised Land after 40 years of wandering in the wilderness. The verse specifically refers back to the experiences of the Israelites in the wilderness, which included both God's miraculous provision and the people's rebellion. It serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness despite the people's unfaithfulness. The themes present in this verse include God's discipline, His care for His people during their trials, and His guidance to bring them to their destination.

In the broader context, the verse underscores the importance of remembering God's past actions as a foundation for present and future obedience. It is a call to reflect on the journey thus far, to recognize God's hand in their preservation and formation as a nation, and to encourage faithfulness to the covenant in the new land they are about to possess. The verse implicitly warns the people not to forget God's laws once they are in a land of plenty, but to continue to live in a way that honors the One who brought them out of the wilderness and into a place of abundance.
