📚 Historical Context

This verse is part of Moses' final song to Israel before his death, warning them about what would happen if they turned away from God to worship idols. In ancient times, people often called their gods their 'rock,' meaning their source of strength and protection, but Moses is prophesying that these false gods would prove powerless when trouble came.
