  1. Moshe warns Bnei Yisrael not to become accustomed to the luxuries and forsake Hashem:
  • “Be careful that you do not forget Hashem by not keeping His commands. Perhaps you will eat and be satiated and have good houses built and settled, and have much gold and silver and you will become haughty and forget G-d who took you out of Egypt. You may tell yourself that your power and strength is what made you accomplish this and not Hashem. Remember that Hashem is the one who gives you strength to be successful.
  • If you do forget Hashem and sway after idolatry, I am forewarning you today that you will be destroyed.”

 

  1. Conquering the land:
  • “Hear Israel, you are going today to the promised land which contains nations that are mightier than you, and have cities fortified to the heavens. You shall know today that Hashem your G-d is the one who will pass before you, and He will destroy them.”
