V-3 Ekev HEDGING EXTREMES
Moses emphasizes the dependency of the Israelites on God. He repeats his warnings to follow after the commandments and decrees given to them at Mount Sinai, harshly reminding them of their hasty retreat to idolatry with the fabrication of the Golden Calf and the breaking of the Tablets and his pleas with God on their behalf. Moses reminds them again regarding their failure to enter the Promised Land and the debacle of the spies returning with rumors of giants and a land that devours men. He presents two extremes of self-image and faith: man as a puny insect-- vulnerable to easy destruction or man as god-- comptroller of the universe. Between utter self-degradation and self-conceit there is a plateau on which man should live recognizing God as the ultimate source of all things and all life. Although we work and struggle throughout our daily lives, we depend on God for the reward, not our own puny abilities. Many people work, but for all their efforts and toils, hardships and good intents they have little in return. We should not be haughty or conceited regarding the goods received, for in all honesty we are but stewards who should be faithful to fulfill the commandments and decrees and we have the responsibility to care for those others in dire neeed: the orphan, widow, stranger, the slave.
