And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
The verse stands within the instruction of Deuteronomy 4 through 11 concerning God's dealings with His people. The whole fourth chapter is to be studied, especially its declaration that the Lord alone is God in heaven above and upon the earth beneath with none else, and its command to keep His statutes and commandments so that it may go well with them and with their children after them and their days may be prolonged upon the earth given forever. The chapter shows the sacredness of God's law and that His spoken word is verified and vindicated when His people disobey, for when Israel disobeyed only two of the adults who left Egypt entered Canaan while the rest died in the wilderness, and the same vindication applies today if leaders depart from His commandments. All the directions God gives there are to be carefully observed, from the greatest to that which may seem the least. This instruction holds special meaning for every soul carrying responsibilities in sanitarium work.
