The covenant enacted in chs. 29—30 was the covenant which Jehovah commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, after the rehearsal of the law and the word of warning with the blessings and the curses. It was a covenant besides the one He made with them at Horeb, that is, at Mount Sinai. The warning was to remind the people, whereas the enactment of the covenant was to establish the warning.
