Main Idea : Israel is to do the whole command of God through Moses and each Israelite is to remember how they have gotten into this good land. Outline . I. Israel shall do the ‘whole command’ of God so that they may live A. Israel shall do the ‘whole command’ that God gave them so that they live and possess the Land (8:1) B. Israel shall remember how God led them out of Egypt (8:2–4) C. Israel is to know that God will discipline them (8:5) D. Israel is to keep the commandment s of God (8:6–9) E. In the land, Israel is to: eat, be full, bless the LORD (8:10) Questions: 1. Are the weqatals in v. 10 connected to the participle in 7a or the other imperative weqatals in vv. 5 and 6? While these verbs can be read as parallel indicatives in vv. 7–9 that further the grounding of v. 6, it seems most natural to see these as parallel imperatives that connect to the series of commands that come in these verses. The lo + yiqtol pattern of the two verbs in vv. 7–9 following the participle (“you will eat bread without scarcity, you will lack nothing”) lead me to think that these weqatals are not connected to the participle. Further, it is in concord with other places in the OT in which Israel is commanded to bless the LORD. Block takes the argument this way, as does McConville (who combines this verse with v. 11. One counter-argument is that in 6:10–12 where Moses previously had detailed the Land, the “eat and are full” are clearly connected to the temporal clause of 6:10, “When the LORD brings you into the Land…”. But there, the “bringing” verb is in the hiphil imperative, not a participle. 2. How is the phrase “whole command” ( ki-mitswah ) functioning here in relation to its other uses in Deut.? This is a key phrase in Deut. occurring 8 other times (Deut 5:31; 6:25; 11:8, 22; 15:5; 19:9; 27:1; 31:5). McConville takes it as indicating the “whole teaching of Moses”, while Block claims that Moses has in mind “primarily the Supreme Command” of the Shema and that keeping this singular command means “walking in his ways and keeping his [multiple] commands, decrees, and laws” (276). On 5:31, Block comments that (following Weinfeld and Lohfink) the singular mitswah refers to the Shema and the first command of the Decalogue (210). Weinfeld himself says that “the mitswah ” refers to the basic call to loyalty in any ANE covenant, but also notes that it “is attached to the demand for love of God…”. In both of these interpretations, it seems that the singluar mitswah is so attached to the covenant stipulations, the character of the covenant itself, the demands of the vassal/people of the covenant, and the identity of the suzerain/grantor (as is the Supreme Command of the covenant) that it is not feasible to separate or isolate the two fields of meaning from one another in this case, but to make a distinction that is then held together when the term occurs in this type of usage in Deuteronomy.
