SEV Biblia, Chapter 29:16
Porque vosotros sabéis cómo habitamos en la tierra de Egipto, y cómo hemos pasado por en medio de los gentiles que habéis pasado;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt , etc.] How long they and their fathers had dwelt there, the number of years they had been in the land, as the Targum of Jonathan, which was upwards of two hundred years; and being a country the inhabitants of which were much given to idolatry, they had seen many of their idols, and much of their idolatrous worship; and their hearts had been apt to be ensnared by it, and the minds of some tinctured with it, and the remembrance thereof might make ill impressions on them; to remove or prevent which this covenant was made: and how we came through the nations which ye passed by ; as the Edomites, Ammonites, Moabites, and Midianites, as Aben Ezra observes, through whose borders they came, as they passed by their countries in their journeys in the wilderness.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-21 - The national covenant made with Israel, not only typified the covenan of grace made with true believers, but also represented the outwar dispensation of the gospel. Those who have been enabled to consent to the Lord's new covenant of mercy and grace in Jesus Christ, and to giv up themselves to be his people, should embrace every opportunity of renewing their open profession of relation to him, and their obligatio to him, as the God of salvation, walking according thereto. The sinne is described as one whose heart turns away from his God; there the mischief begins, in the evil heart of unbelief, which inclines men to depart from the living God to dead idols. Even to this sin men are no tempted, when drawn aside by their own lusts and fancies. Such men ar roots that bear gall and wormwood. They are weeds which, if let alone overspread the whole field. Satan may for a time disguise this bitte morsel, so that thou shalt not have the natural taste of it, but at the last day, if not before, the true taste shall be discerned. Notice the sinner's security in sin. Though he hears the words of the curse, ye even then he thinks himself safe from the wrath of God. There is scarcely a threatening in all the book of God more dreadful than this Oh that presumptuous sinners would read it, and tremble! for it is real declaration of the wrath of God, against ungodliness an unrighteousness of man.
