Chiasm and Parallelism in Deuteronomy 9:26-29

 


Deuteronomy 9:26-29 – A parallelism in a chiasm on God's faithfulness to the covenant

  • V26 - Don't destroy your people and heritage, whom you redeemed through greatness and a mighty hand
    • V27 - Remember the Covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
      • Forget the sins of this people
    • V28 - YHWH wasn't able to keep his Covenant
      • He hated and destroyed the people
  • V29 - They are your people and heritage, whom you brought out with great power and an outstretched arm

God keeps his promises and he wants to hear us remind him of it. When it looks like God has forgotten or rejected you, he might just be waiting for you to tell him that you believe in him and trust him to keep his promises.
