Deuteronomy 11 presents Moses' passionate plea to the Children of Israel, recounting God's mighty acts in Egypt and the wilderness. He underscores the importance of obedience and the consequential blessings or curses that hinge upon their choices.

Moses here renews his exhortation to obedience, enforced by regard to their experience of God's dealings with them in Egypt and in the wilderness, and by consideration of God's promises and threatenings. The blessing and the curse are set before them consequent on the keeping or the transgressing of the Law.
