Review & Intro: Moses has reminded the people as they are about to enter the promised land how the Lord gave them tests in the wilderness to humble them and see what was in their heart for the Lord. He will remind them in Chapter 10 how the Lord was gracious to rewrite the 10 commandments for them and then He will tell them what the Lord requires from them. It will only be responsible if they circumcise their hearts and stop having a stiff neck. Have we had our hearts circumcised by Him?
