📚 Historical Context
Moses is speaking to the Israelites before they enter the Promised Land, warning them about the consequences of breaking their covenant with God. This is part of a larger passage describing the curses that would come upon Israel if they abandoned their faith and worshipped other gods. The prediction tragically came true centuries later when Israel was conquered and exiled.
