This parashah describes the renewal of G-d's covenant with Israel as those who entered the Promised Land were the generation following the one that did not make it to this destination because of their rebellion. The blessings and curses described in great detail should make us realize that G-d's commands and rulings are perpetual until there is a new heaven and a new earth (Matt. 5:18). The blessings for true believers are contrasted with the curses for rebellion of G-d's Torah, a reality we need to take very seriously.

The two confessions of tithes are also described in this commentary, showing us that we are to worship G-d His way, and that our praise and acknowledgement of his provision and goodness should always be in our hearts and minds. The second confession which deals with the third-year tithe shows us that we must walk our talk and actively live G-d's commands whether in or out of our homes.
