Moses spoke these words to the Israelites just before they entered the Promised Land, as part of his final instructions about how to worship God properly. This command came after warnings about avoiding the religious practices of the pagan nations they would encounter in Canaan. Moses wanted to ensure that God's laws would remain pure and unchanged as the people settled in their new land.
