O'Connor, Biblical Hebrew Syntax (Winona Lake, IN: Eisenbrauns, 1990), p. 488, respectively. 52. This is discussed in my forthcoming thesis, The Ethics of Deuteronomy (DPhil dissertation; Oxford University, 1994). 40 Time and Place in Deuteronomy teaching (cf. 1) is the subject of a specific divine instruction. Although both the content and the ultimate origin of the material remains tantalizingly ambiguous, we can be certain that the writer is forging a link between what happened at Horeb, and the events in progress at Moab.

In ch. 4 it is made plain that Israel must take on board and respond to the revelation at Moab in exactly the same way as that received at Horeb. The rest of the account of the Horeb theophany in vv. 11-14 stresses the presence of the assembled nation to such a degree that it is very difficult to avoid detecting a deliberate rhetorical identification of the events at Horeb and the impending preaching of law at Moab. There is no difference in the 'you' who stood at Horeb, and the 'you' who are now on the verge of the land, awaiting the further exposition of the law.
