Deuteronomy 29

"These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which He made with them in Horeb." v.1

Read chapter 29
This chapter is like the miniture version of the book of Deuteronomy as a whole.  It quickly reviews their past and covenant with God.  The word covenant is found seven times in this chapter all of what we have read before.  It may seem tedious to read or hear this again but was very much needed for how soon and quick the Israelites would forget (and us too).  I remember learning in English class the rule of threes in that, "the rule of three or power of three is a writing principle that suggests that things that come in threes are funnier, more satisfying, or more effective than other numbers of things. The reader or audience of this form of text is also thereby more likely to remember the information. This is because having three entities combines both brevity and rhythm with having the smallest amount of information to create a pattern. It makes the author or speaker appear knowledgeable while being both simple and catchy" (Wikipedia.com).   Also, back then not everyone had a bible or even easy access to a copy of the Law, so the common people had to rely on their memories and the Levites and other leaders to teach and remind them.  Paul even says to the Philippians, "for to me to write the same thing to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe" (Phil. 3:1).   There are not two covenants spoken of hear for then there would be sacrifices, but a renewal and reminder to this new generation.  How have you seen the rule of three help remind or engrain something in you?
