In the context of Deuteronomy, Moses is reiterating the covenantal laws given to the Israelites. The commandments refer to the moral laws, such as the Ten Commandments, which are foundational to Israel's relationship with God. Statutes and ordinances include ceremonial and civil laws that governed Israelite society. The call to "keep" these laws underscores the necessity of not just hearing but actively living out God's instructions. This obedience is a response to God's covenantal love and faithfulness, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/7-9.htm">Deuteronomy 7:9</a>, which speaks of God's steadfast love to those who love Him and keep His commandments.<p><b>that I am giving you</b><br>Moses, as the mediator of the covenant, is the one delivering these laws to the people. This reflects the historical context of the Israelites on the brink of entering the Promised Land. The giving of the law is a divine act, with Moses as the mouthpiece of God. This phrase also highlights the continuity of God's revelation, as these laws were first given at Sinai and are now being reiterated on the plains of Moab. The giving of the law is a gift, meant to guide the people in righteousness and holiness.<p><b>to follow</b><br>The Hebrew word for "follow" implies a continuous action, suggesting that obedience is not a one-time event but a lifelong commitment. This reflects the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where the people are called to walk in His ways consistently. The concept of following God's law is echoed throughout Scripture, such as in <a href="/psalms/119-105.htm">Psalm 119:105</a>, where God's word is described as a lamp to one's feet and a light to one's path. This ongoing obedience is a demonstration of faith and trust in God's wisdom and provision.<p><b>this day</b><br>The immediacy of "this day" underscores the urgency and relevance of the command. It serves as a reminder that obedience to God is not something to be postponed. In the historical context, the Israelites were about to enter a new phase of their journey, requiring renewed commitment to God's covenant. This phrase also connects to the broader biblical theme of "today" as the time of decision and action, as seen in passages like <a href="/joshua/24-15.htm">Joshua 24:15</a>, where Joshua calls the people to choose whom they will serve. The call to obedience is always present and pressing, inviting believers to respond to God's call in the present moment.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The author of Deuteronomy, delivering God's laws to the Israelites.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, receiving the commandments as they prepare to enter the Promised Land.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/p/promised_land.htm">Promised Land</a></b><br>The land of Canaan, which God promised to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/m/mount_sinai.htm">Mount Sinai</a></b><br>The place where God originally gave the Ten Commandments to Moses.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/c/covenant.htm">Covenant</a></b><br>The agreement between God and the Israelites, involving blessings for obedience and consequences for disobedience.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/o/obedience_as_a_response_to_covenant.htm">Obedience as a Response to Covenant</a></b><br>The Israelites were called to obey God's commandments as a response to the covenant relationship established by God.
