Study Note
Moses promises that even in exile, if Israel seeks the Lord with all their heart and soul, they will find him — because God is accessible even from the furthest reaches of human disobedience and displacement. The 'all your heart and soul' formula (shema-language) makes covenant-seeking a totalizing commitment, not a partial or peripheral act. The promise is strikingly unconditional in its positive direction: exile does not close the door to God, it can open it. Jeremiah 29:13 repeats the promise in a letter to the exiles themselves, and Jesus' parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:20) dramatizes the same conviction that seeking God in extremity finds God running to meet the seeker.
