📚 Historical Context
Moses is speaking to the Israelites before they enter the Promised Land, predicting their future exile due to disobedience. This prophecy was fulfilled when Israel was conquered and scattered by the Assyrians and Babylonians centuries later. The 'blessings and curses' refer to the covenant promises outlined earlier in Deuteronomy 28-29.
