📚 Historical Context
This verse is part of the prophet Huldah's response when King Josiah sent officials to inquire of the LORD after the Book of the Law was discovered during temple repairs around 621 BC. Josiah had realized how far Judah had strayed from God's commands and was deeply concerned about God's judgment. Huldah was one of the few prophets serving during this time when most religious leaders had been corrupted.
