Abstract:
When Moses transfers the leadership of Israel to Joshua, the former must first reconfirm the Horeb Covenant through a covenant made at Moab. Therefore, Moses summons the typically Deuteronomic Exodus-Horeb-Moab-Generation 'today', that is the day of Deuteronomy. In Deut 5,1-5 he declares that those who take part in the making of the Covenant at Moab already had been partners in the Horeb Covenant. In 29,1-8 he demonstrates that YHWH had graciously maintained his relationship with his people. It is this grace that 'today' creates the very possibility of Israel’s entering into the Covenant at Moab with YHWH, who is their God.
