Deuteronomy is the words of God’s covenant which he made with Israel before they entered the land of Canaan (Dt 29:1). Its laws relate especially to Israel’s conquest of and life in the promised land, and it gives great prominence to the blessings and curses of the covenant. The Lord never broke his covenant with Israel, and he will never break his covenant with us, but this does not mean that he will simply overlook transgression. He judges our sins and deals severely with us when we, like Israel, break his covenant.
