Deuteronomy 8:11

11 observa et cave nequando obliviscaris Domini Dei tui et neglegas mandata eius atque iudicia et caerimonias quas ego praecipio tibi hodie

Deuteronomy 8:11 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 8:11

Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God
The Father of mercies and fountain of goodness, the author and donor of every good and perfect gift. Plenty is apt to induce a forgetfulness of God, when on the contrary one would think it should keep him in continual remembrance, and engage to daily thankfulness to him:

in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes,
which I command thee this day;
gave a repetition of, and in the name of God afresh enjoined them, even laws moral, ceremonial, and judicial, which, when not observed, God is forgotten.

Deuteronomy 8:11 In-Context

9 ubi absque ulla penuria comedes panem tuum et rerum omnium abundantia perfrueris cuius lapides ferrum sunt et de montibus eius aeris metalla fodiuntur
10 ut cum comederis et satiatus fueris benedicas Domino Deo tuo pro terra optima quam dedit tibi
11 observa et cave nequando obliviscaris Domini Dei tui et neglegas mandata eius atque iudicia et caerimonias quas ego praecipio tibi hodie
12 ne postquam comederis et satiatus domos pulchras aedificaveris et habitaveris in eis
13 habuerisque armenta et ovium greges argenti et auri cunctarumque rerum copiam
