The final parenesis of Deuteronomy (Deut 10,12-11,32) invites the people of Israel to make a radical commitment to the Lord before they enter into the Promised Land. This commitment emerges from their unique identity as a ‘chosen people’ and their consequent distinctive relationship with the Lord. It articulates various principles required for a Yhwh- centred existence in the Promised Land. They are repeatedly called on to fear (ירא) him, love (אהב) him, serve (עבד) him, know (ידע) him, cling to (דבק) him and obey (שׁמר/שׁמע) him. The call for a total commitment and absolute allegiance to Yhwh in 10,12-11,32 is illustrated by Moses’ successive appeals to Israel to keep the commandments of the Lord (cf. 10,12-13.16.20; 11,1.8.13.22.26-28.32). This appeal to make a total commitment to Yhwh is presented in covenantal language in the context of Yhwh’s uniqueness, especially in his unique historical intervention in the life of Israel (cf. 10,14-15.17-18.21-22; 11,2-7.9-12.14-15.21.23-25.29-31).
