📚 Historical Context

Moses is speaking to the Israelites just before they enter the Promised Land, after 40 years in the wilderness. This comes near the end of his final speech where he's reviewing God's laws and urging the people to remain faithful. Moses knows he won't be going with them into the new land, so he's giving them this crucial final choice about how they will live.
