Verbond en vergewing: Deuteronomium 29 en 30 en die deuteronomistiese geskiedwerk

Abstract

Covenant and forgiveness: Deuteronomy 29 and 30 and the deuteronomistic history The deuteronomistic history was written to illustrate to the Babylonian exiles that the judgement that had befallen them, was a just one. It does, however, also proclaim the possibility of forgiveness within the framework of the convenant. This is also the message of Deuteronomy 29 and 30. This paper investigates this message of covenant and forgiveness in Deuteronomy 29 and 30 and its relationship to the deuteronomistic history.
