Deuteronomy 33:10
"He said of his father, and of his mother, ‘I have not seen him.’ He didn’t acknowledge his brothers, nor did he know his own children; for they have observed your word, and keep your covenant."
Key Reflection
In Deuteronomy 33:10, Moses speaks of a person who is so devoted to God's commandments that he has distanced himself from his family to fulfill them. He declares, "I have not seen him," meaning he does not prioritize familial relationships over obedience to divine law. This verse highlights the intensity of commitment to covenantal obligations, even at the cost of personal and familial ties. Such devotion underscores the importance of adhering to God's word and maintaining loyalty to His covenant, regardless of one's natural inclinations or connections.
