- In the section of blessings (Deuteronomy 28:1-14), does fecundity play a role of import?
- And, does victory over one’s enemies have a place?

- What does text mean when it says that these are the words of the covenant which God commanded Moses to effect with Israel in the land of Moab “over and above the covenant which was entered into at Horeb”?
