Chapter summary

Moses tells the Israelites that when blessings and curses come upon them in the nations where they are scattered, returning to the Lord and obeying His voice will prompt Him to restore them from captivity. The Lord will gather them from the farthest horizons, bring them into the land possessed by their fathers, and make them prosper and multiply beyond their ancestors. Moses explains that the commandment given to them is not hidden in heaven or across the sea, but is very near them in their mouths and hearts for observance. He sets before the people life and prosperity, as well as death and disaster, urging them to love the Lord, walk in His ways, and keep His commandments so they may live in the land sworn to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
