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 Y no con vosotros solos concierto yo este pacto y este juramento,

15 sino con los que están aquí presentes hoy con nosotros delante del SEÑOR nuestro Dios, y con los que no están aquí hoy con nosotros.

16 Porque vosotros sabéis cómo habitamos en la tierra de Egipto, y cómo hemos pasado por en medio de los gentiles que habéis pasado;

17 y habéis visto sus abominaciones y sus ídolos de madera y piedra, plata y oro, que tienen consigo.

18 Por ventura habrá entre vosotros varón, o mujer, o familia, o tribu, cuyo corazón se vuelva hoy de con el SEÑOR nuestro Dios, por andar a servir a los dioses de aquellos gentiles; por ventura habrá en vosotros raíz que eche veneno y ajenjo;
