Deuteronomio 29:16 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 29:16

For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt
How long they and their fathers had dwelt there, the number of years they had been in the land, as the Targum of Jonathan, which was upwards of two hundred years; and being a country the inhabitants of which were much given to idolatry, they had seen many of their idols, and much of their idolatrous worship; and their hearts had been apt to be ensnared by it, and the minds of some tinctured with it, and the remembrance thereof might make ill impressions on them; to remove or prevent which this covenant was made:

and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;
as the Edomites, Ammonites, Moabites, and Midianites, as Aben Ezra observes, through whose borders they came, as they passed by their countries in their journeys in the wilderness.

Deuteronomio 29:16 In-Context

14 »Pero no es solo contigo que hago este pacto con sus maldiciones.

15 Lo hago tanto contigo, que hoy estás en la presencia del Señor
tu Dios, como también con las generaciones futuras, que no están aquí hoy.

16 »Tú recuerdas cómo vivíamos en la tierra de Egipto y cómo anduvimos por el territorio de naciones enemigas cuando salimos de allí.

17 Tú viste las prácticas detestables de esas naciones y sus ídolos
de madera, de piedra, de plata y de oro.

18 Hago este pacto contigo, para que nadie —hombre o mujer, clan o tribu— se aparte del Señor
nuestro Dios para rendir culto a esos dioses de otras naciones, y para que ninguna raíz produzca frutos amargos y venenosos en medio de ti.
