DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 8 Israel is exhorted to obedience, Deuteronomy 8:1, and to remember God's judgments and mercies, Deuteronomy 8:2-6. The excellency of the land they were going into, Deuteronomy 8:7-9. Not to forget the Lord in their fulness and prosperity, Deuteronomy 8:10-16; nor ascribe their wealth to their own power, Deuteronomy 8:17, but to God, Deuteronomy 8:18. God threatens to destroy idolaters, Deuteronomy 8:19,20. That ye may live, i.e. live comfortably and happily, as life is oft taken, as Genesis 17:18 Proverbs 3:2; as, on the contrary, troubles or afflictions are called death, Exodus 10:17 2 Corinthians 11:23.
