Moses spoke these words to the Israelites as they prepared to enter the Promised Land after 40 years in the wilderness. The people had vivid memories of the plagues and diseases they witnessed in Egypt during their 400 years of slavery there. This promise was part of God's covenant blessings for obedience as they were about to settle in Canaan.
