Deuteronômio 29:25 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 29:25

Then men shall say
The answer that will be returned to the above questions will be this

because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their
fathers:
breakers of covenants with men are always reckoned among the worst of men, see ( Romans 1:31 ) ; and especially breakers of covenant with God, and with such a God as the God of Israel was, so good, so kind, and gracious; and of such a covenant he made with them, in which so many good things were promised unto them, on condition of their obedience; as the continuance in, such a land they dwelt in, with an abundance of privileges, civil and religious: and this covenant God of theirs was the God of their fathers also; and it was always reckoned an heinous sin among the Heathens to forsake the gods of their ancestors; see ( Jeremiah 2:11 ) ;

which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt;
which is another aggravation of their breach of the covenant the Lord made with them; it being made with them by that God, and at that time, when he in so wonderful a manner, with such mighty power, and a outstretched arm, and in great kindness and tenderness to them, brought then, out of hard bondage and most wretched slavery in Egypt.

Deuteronômio 29:25 In-Context

23 A terra inteira será um deserto abrasador de sal e enxofre, no qual nada que for plantado brotará, onde nenhuma vegetação crescerá. Será como a destruição de Sodoma e Gomorra, de Admá e Zeboim, que o SENHOR destruiu com ira e furor.

24 Todas as nações perguntarão: ‘Por que o SENHOR fez isto a esta terra? Por que tanta ira e tanto furor?’

25 “E a resposta será: ‘Foi porque este povo abandonou a aliança do SENHOR, o Deus dos seus antepassados, aliança feita com eles quando os tirou do Egito.

26 Eles foram adorar outros deuses e se prostraram diante deles, deuses que eles não conheciam antes, deuses que o SENHOR não lhes tinha dado.

27 Por isso a ira do SENHOR acendeu-se contra esta terra, e ele trouxe sobre ela todas as maldições escritas neste livro.
