Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Deuteronomy 29:25
Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:
25. Then men shall say, etc.] Similarly Jer 22:8 f. The phrase, forsook the covenant occurs there, 1Ki 19:10; 1Ki 19:14 and Dan 11:30, but not elsewhere in Deut. ( forget is used instead); though Deu 28:20 has forsaking me, cp. Deu 31:16, Deu 32:15.

Then men shall say,…. The answer that will be returned to the above questions will be this
because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers: breakers of covenants with men are always reckoned among the worst of men, see Ro 1:31; and especially breakers of covenant with God, and with such a God as the God of Israel was, so good, so kind, and gracious; and of such a covenant he made with them, in which so many good things were promised unto them, on condition of their obedience; as the continuance in, such a land they dwelt in, with an abundance of privileges, civil and religious: and this covenant God of theirs was the God of their fathers also; and it was always reckoned an heinous sin among the Heathens to forsake the gods of their ancestors; see Jer 2:11;
which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt; which is another aggravation of their breach of the covenant the Lord made with them; it being made with them by that God, and at that time, when he in so wonderful a manner, with such mighty power, and a outstretched arm, and in great kindness and tenderness to them, brought then, out of hard bondage and most wretched slavery in Egypt.
