Deuteronomy Chapter 11: The Conclusion of Moses’ Introduction

Deuteronomy chapter 11 marks the end of the extended introduction that Moses has been delivering to the Israelites. Up until this point, the text has not focused heavily on specific laws or statutes. Instead, Moses has been preparing the people to understand why they must follow God’s commandments. This chapter serves as a recap, summarizing the expectations and principles already discussed in Deuteronomy. Essentially, it is the final section explaining why the Israelites are called to obey the law.
