📚 Historical Context
Moses was speaking to the Israelites as they prepared to enter the Promised Land after 40 years of wandering in the wilderness. During their time in the desert, they had been living in a temporary, unsettled situation where religious practices were somewhat informal and scattered. Moses was preparing them for a more organized worship system once they settled in their new land.
