- Does Deuteronomy 29:1-9 provide any material that has not been set forth in Devarim previously?
- In Deuteronomy 29:8, however, what is meant by “the words of this covenant”—is this a reference to Deuteronomy 29:69 in the previous chapter?
- In Deuteronomy 29:9-10, with the group assembled, who or what categories is or are not included?
- Have these “categories” been dealt with rather elaborately in previous text?
- Why are the people gathered, according to Deuteronomy 29:11?
- And what will be the result of this gathering (Deuteronomy 29:12)?
- According to Deuteronomy 29:13 et seq, with whom is this covenant being effected where the Israelites are concerned?
- What is to be the lot of those who secretly resolve that they will violate this covenant (Deuteronomy 29:17-27)—and does this refer only to individuals or to entire groups?
- How is Deuteronomy 29:28 to be read; where is the pause to be placed—and why the special pointing over two of the words?
