Ramban on Deuteronomy 4:30/רמב"ן על דברים ד׳:ל׳

אוְשַׁבְתָּ עַד ה' אֱלֹהֶיךָ וְשָׁמַעְתָּ בְּקֹלוֹ, גַּם זֶה רֶמֶז לִגְאֻלַּת בָּבֶל שֶׁשָּׁבוּ אֶל הַשֵּׁם וְהִתְוַדּוּ לְפָנָיו וְשָׁמְעוּ לְקוֹל הַנְּבִיאִים אֲשֶׁר הֵקִים לָהֶם, וּלְפִיכָךְ הִבְטִיחָם שֶׁלֹּא יַשְׁחִיתֵם וְלֹא יִשְׁכַּח בְּרִית אֲבוֹתָם כַּאֲשֶׁר אָמַר (ויקרא כו מב) וְזָכַרְתִּי אֶת בְּרִיתִי יַעֲקוֹב וְגוֹ', וּבְסוֹף הַסֵּפֶר יִרְמֹז לַגְּאֻלָּה הָעֲתִידָה כַּאֲשֶׁר פֵּרַשְׁתִּי (שם בפסוק טז), וְאֶזְכְּרֶנּוּ עוֹד בע"ה (רמב"ן על דברים כ"ח:מ"ב):
1AND THOU WILT RETURN TO THE ETERNAL THY G-D, AND HEARKEN UNTO HIS VOICE. This, too,102 is an allusion to the redemption from [the exile in] Babylon, that they will repent to G-d and confess [their sins] before Him and hearken to the voice of the prophets that He will appoint for them. Therefore, he promised them that He would not destroy them, nor forget the covenant of their fathers, as He said, And I will remember My covenant with Jacob etc.103 And at the end of this book he will allude to the future redemption104 as I have explained,105 and I will yet mention it with the help of G-d.104
