It highlights the certainty of these outcomes based on Israel's faithfulness or lack thereof. The historical context is the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where blessings and curses are integral to the covenant terms (Deuteronomy 28).the blessings and curses I have set before you— The blessings and curses are detailed in <a href="/deuteronomy/28.htm">Deuteronomy 28</a>. Blessings include prosperity, health, and victory over enemies, while curses involve defeat, disease, and exile. This duality underscores the conditional nature of the covenant, emphasizing the importance of obedience to God's commandments. Theologically, it reflects the justice and holiness of God, who rewards righteousness and punishes sin.and you call them to mind in all the nations to which the LORD your God has banished you, This phrase anticipates the exile of Israel due to disobedience, a theme that recurs throughout the Old Testament. The exile is both a literal and spiritual separation from the Promised Land, symbolizing the consequences of turning away from God. The act of calling these things to mind suggests repentance and a return to God, which is a recurring theme in prophetic literature (e.g., <a href="/jeremiah/29-12.htm">Jeremiah 29:12-14</a>). It also foreshadows the eventual restoration and return from exile, a type of the ultimate redemption found in Jesus Christ, who brings spiritual restoration and reconciliation with God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a> The author of Deuteronomy, delivering God's message to the Israelites. 2. <a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a> The chosen people of God, receiving the covenant and laws. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a> The covenant God of Israel, who promises blessings and warns of curses. 4. <a href="/topical/n/nations.htm">Nations</a> The foreign lands where the Israelites may be dispersed due to disobedience. 5. <a href="/topical/b/blessings_and_curses.htm">Blessings and Curses</a> The consequences outlined in the covenant, dependent on Israel's obedience or disobedience.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_reality_of_consequences.htm">The Reality of Consequences</a> God's covenant includes both blessings and curses, highlighting the importance of obedience and the reality of consequences for our actions. <a href="/topical/t/the_call_to_reflection.htm">The Call to Reflection</a> The phrase "take them to heart" emphasizes the need for introspection and acknowledgment of one's spiritual state, encouraging believers to regularly evaluate their walk with God. <a href="/topical/t/the_hope_of_restoration.htm">The Hope of Restoration</a> Even in dispersion, there is hope for restoration.

Some would go much further than this. But thus much is undeniable.And thou shalt call them to mind.--An awakening among the people themselves must precede their restoration.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/deuteronomy/30.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 1-10. - Though rejected and exiled because of rebellion and apostasy, Israel should not be absolutely or forever cast off. When dispersed among the nations, if the people should return to Jehovah their God, he would again receive them into favor and gather them from their dispersion (cf. <a href="/deuteronomy/4-29.htm">Deuteronomy 4:29</a>, etc.; <a href="/leviticus/26-40.htm">Leviticus 26:40</a>, etc.). Moses, looking into the future, anticipates that both the blessing and the curse would come upon the people according as they were faithful to their covenant engagement and obedient to God's Law, or were disobedient and unfaithful. But even when the curse came upon them to the full, this would not amount to final rejection; but God would, by the discipline of suffering, lead them to repentance, and then he would again bestow the blessing (cf. <a href="/nehemiah/1-9.htm">Nehemiah 1:9</a>). Verse 1. - Thou shalt call them to mind (cf. <a href="/1_kings/8-47.htm">1 Kings 8:47</a>, where the same expression is rendered by "bethink themselves"). This is the meaning here also; it is not the mere recollection of the curse and the blessing that is referred to, but a general consideration of their own condition and conduct. <a href="/commentaries/deuteronomy/30-1.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>When כִֽי־ (ḵî-) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction all כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every these הָאֵ֗לֶּה (hā·’êl·leh) Article | Pronoun - common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_428.htm">Strong's 428: </a> These, those things הַדְּבָרִ֣ים (had·də·ḇā·rîm) Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1697.htm">Strong's 1697: </a> A word, a matter, thing, a cause come יָבֹ֨אוּ (yā·ḇō·’ū) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_935.htm">Strong's 935: </a> To come in, come, go in, go upon you— עָלֶ֜יךָ (‘ā·le·ḵā) Preposition | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against the blessings הַבְּרָכָה֙ (hab·bə·rā·ḵāh) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1293.htm">Strong's 1293: </a> Benediction, prosperity and curses וְהַקְּלָלָ֔ה (wə·haq·qə·lā·lāh) Conjunctive waw, Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7045.htm">Strong's 7045: </a> Vilification I have set נָתַ֖תִּי (nā·ṯat·tî) Verb - Qal - Perfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5414.htm">Strong's 5414: </a> To give, put, set before you— לְפָנֶ֑יךָ (lə·p̄ā·ne·ḵā) Preposition-l | Noun - common plural construct | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6440.htm">Strong's 6440: </a> The face and you call [them] וַהֲשֵׁבֹתָ֙ (wa·hă·šê·ḇō·ṯā) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7725.htm">Strong's 7725: </a> To turn back, in, to retreat, again to אֶל־ (’el-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to mind לְבָבֶ֔ךָ (lə·ḇā·ḇe·ḵā) Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3824.htm">Strong's 3824: </a> Inner man, mind, will, heart in all בְּכָל־ (bə·ḵāl) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every the nations הַגּוֹיִ֔ם (hag·gō·w·yim) Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1471.htm">Strong's 1471: </a> A foreign nation, a Gentile, a troop of animals, a flight of locusts to which אֲשֶׁ֥ר (’ă·šer) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that the LORD יְהוָ֥ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel your God אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ (’ĕ·lō·he·ḵā) Noun - masculine plural construct | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_430.htm">Strong's 430: </a> gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlative has banished you, הִדִּיחֲךָ֛ (hid·dî·ḥă·ḵā) Verb - Hifil - Perfect - third person masculine singular | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5080.htm">Strong's 5080: </a> To impel, thrust, banish <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/deuteronomy/30-1.htm">Deuteronomy 30:1 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/deuteronomy/30-1.htm">Deuteronomy 30:1 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/deuteronomy/30-1.htm">Deuteronomy 30:1 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/deuteronomy/30-1.htm">Deuteronomy 30:1 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/deuteronomy/30-1.htm">Deuteronomy 30:1 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/deuteronomy/30-1.htm">Deuteronomy 30:1 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/deuteronomy/30-1.htm">Deuteronomy 30:1 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/deuteronomy/30-1.htm">Deuteronomy 30:1 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/deuteronomy/30-1.htm">Deuteronomy 30:1 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/deuteronomy/30-1.htm">Deuteronomy 30:1 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/deuteronomy/30-1.htm">OT Law: Deuteronomy 30:1 It shall happen when all these things (Deut.
