Commentary for Deuteronomy 11:7

Deuteronomy 11:7 is part of Moses' second address to the Israelites as they prepare to enter the Promised Land after wandering in the wilderness for 40 years. The verse reflects on the past and the miraculous deeds God performed on behalf of the Israelites, which they had witnessed firsthand.

**Themes:**
1. **God's Faithfulness and Power:** The verse underscores the theme of God's faithfulness to His promises and His mighty acts in delivering Israel from Egyptian bondage and sustaining them in the wilderness.
2. **Remembrance and Gratitude:** It calls for the remembrance of God's acts as a response of gratitude and as a foundation for trust in God's continued provision and guidance.
3. **Divine Intervention:** The verse highlights the idea that God directly intervenes in history on behalf of His people.
4. **Witnessing and Testimony:** The Israelites are reminded that they are witnesses to God's power, implying a responsibility to testify to future generations.

**Historical Context:**
The book of Deuteronomy is presented as a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites on the plains of Moab, just before they cross the Jordan River into Canaan. This was a pivotal moment in Israel's history, as they stood on the brink of inheriting the land promised to their ancestors. Deuteronomy means "second law," and the book reiterates the law given at Mount Sinai, preparing the new generation to live in the land according to God's covenant.

The historical context of Deuteronomy 11:7 is thus set within the broader narrative of the Exodus, the wilderness wanderings, and the anticipation of entering and possessing the Promised Land. It serves as a reminder of God's active role in their history, intended to strengthen their faith as they face the challenges of a new life in Canaan.
