Deuteronomy 11:13

The verse is not only in the Pl. and a repetition of certain formulas, but it also changes the speaker (my commandmentscan only mean God's). It is evidently inserted by an editor (so too Steuern. and Bertholet) (who also altered the opening of the next verse, q.v.) because he thought it again necessary to safeguard the promise by repeating the usual deuteronomic condition. But the condition breaks into the theme of the writer which for the moment is only the contrast between the two lands. On the contents of the v. see on Deuteronomy 10:12.
