Bible study, Dt. 10:13-15

I came across a strange statement in my Bible study this morning. In Deuteronomy 10:13-15, Moses continues his warnings and promises to the Israelites prior to their crossing the Jordan. He assures them that if they will obey the laws and commands he gives them--has given them--certain blessings will follow.

The strange thing is this: He promises that he will send rain and that he will bring good harvests for them. Other places he says that the Lord God will give these blessings. But in this passage, he takes that role on himself.

Doesn't that seem strange?
