📚 Historical Context
In the book of Deuteronomy, Moses is delivering a farewell address to the Israelites as they stand on the edge of the Promised Land, preparing to enter after their exodus from Egypt. He is reiterating the covenant God made with them at Mount Sinai and warning about the severe consequences of disobedience, including the curses outlined in the law as part of that agreement. This verse specifically points to God's righteous anger being provoked by the people's unfaithfulness, leading to the fulfillment of those curses on the land.
