Deuteronomy 8:10-11
(Berean Bible)
When you eat and are satisfied,
you are to bless the LORD your God for the good land that He has given you.
11 Be careful not to forget the LORD your God by failing to keep His commandments and ordinances and statutes, which I am giving you this day. 

The Israelites are reminded of the good land awaiting them, a land rich with resources. However, in their prosperity, they must not forget God or attribute their success to their own strength. God’s laws are paramount, and they should keep them in their hearts. Forgetting the Lord or pursuing other gods will lead to destruction.

Deuteronomy 8 serves as a poignant reminder by Moses to the Israelites about God’s unwavering support during their 40-year journey in the wilderness. The chapter emphasizes the importance of remembering the Lord’s blessings, following His commands, and the grave consequences of forsaking Him.

The English title “Deuteronomy” comes from the Greek Septuagint (LXX) mistranslation of “copy of this law” in 17:18 as “second law,” which was rendered Deuteronomium in the Latin version (Vulgate). The Hebrew title of the book is translated “These are the words,” from the first two Hebrew words of the book. The Hebrew title is a better description of the book since it is not a “second law,” but rather the record of Moses’ words of explanation concerning the law. Deuteronomy completes the five-part literary unit called the Pentateuch.

Moses has been traditionally recognized as the author of Deuteronomy, since the book itself testifies that Moses wrote it.

The original recipients of Deuteronomy, both in its verbal and written presentations, were the second generation of the nation of Israel. All of that generation from 40 to 60 years of age (except Joshua and Caleb, who were older) had been born in Egypt and had participated as children or teens in the Exodus. Those under 40 had been born and reared in the wilderness. Together, they comprised the generation that was on the verge of conquering the land of Canaan under Joshua, 40 years after they had left Egypt.
