📚 Historical Context
Moses is speaking to the Israelites before they enter the Promised Land, but he's also looking ahead to a future time when they might be scattered and then regathered. This promise speaks both to the immediate conquest of Canaan and to God's long-term faithfulness to restore His people even after periods of exile or judgment.
