Rather, God was fulfilling the oath He had made to their forefathers— Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob . 🔎 Deuteronomy 12 begins by emphasizing this truth once again: "These are the statutes and judgments you must carefully observe in the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess, as long as you live in the land."
