9:intro id6j 0 # Deuteronomy 9 General Notes\n\n## General Outline\n- vv. 1-6: Moses reminds the Israelites that Yahweh did not choose them because they were righteous\n- vv. 7-29: Moses recounts the Israelites sin when they worshiped the golden calf\n\n## Special concepts in this chapter\n\n### Yahwehs victory\nThis chapter assures the Israelites that it is Yahweh who will empower them to conquer the Promised Land. The Israelites will not be strong enough on their own to conquer these other nations. This victory will be Yahwehs. The people did not earn this victory, but it is Yahwehs punishment of these sinful nations. (See: [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/promisedland]] and [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]])\n\n### Israels sin\nYahweh is about to punish the Canaanites for their sin. He also reminds Israel of their sin. This serves as a warning to the people of Israel. If they sin again, Yahweh will punish them too.
