Fortson's Chapter by Chapter Bible Commentaries: Deuteronomy 30 (Unabridged‪)‬

The Moab Covenant can be found in Deuteronomy 28 and many believe it to be one of the most important covenants in the Bible. It lays out a series of future blessings and curses that would play a significant role in Israel’s history. Chapters 29 – 32 build upon the terms and conditions found in Chapter 28 and contain references to the timeframe when the curses will take place in the future.

These chapters were so important, that God commanded them to be read in front of the congregation every seven years during the Feast of Tabernacles, as a continual reminder. When Israel began straying from God, Solomon, Daniel, Jeremiah, and even Christ referred to the blessings and curses foretold in Deuteronomy 28 – 32, as a reminder for the nation to turn from their evil ways and back to God.
