The verses around Deuteronomy 29:29.
27And the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
28And the Lord rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.
29The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
Verse explanation
The phrase about “the secret things” acknowledges that not everything has an explanation available to the people: what was revealed, the law, is what they are responsible for living out and teaching their children, without trying to solve every mystery on their own.
