DEUTERONOMY
The fifth book in the Bible whose author is again Moses. Tradition tells us that it was written around 1400 BC. The time period covered in this book is 1450 BC thru 1400 BC. It covers the Mosaic Laws, which applied until shortly after the death of Christ, when the temple was destroyed in 70 AD.
The central point of this book ...
Deuteronomy contains the death of Moses as well as a repeat of the Ten Commandments first found in Exodus 20.
What Important Story is found in Deuteronomy?
The death of Moses as recorded in Deuteronomy 34:1-12.
Important Points found in this book:
1) The Book of Deuteronomy contains a repeat of all the Mosaic laws, plus the death of Moses. It’s the only book in the first five (known as the Pentateuch) to record Moses’ death.
2) The children who had left Egypt were adults when this book was written. They were quite ready to battle for the Promised Land (Canaan). Deuteronomy repeats the laws in other books, specifically directing it to this new generation.
3) The last few chapters describe Moses’ final blessing on the children of Israel as well as his death (which must have been written by someone other than Moses.)
Key Verses:
“Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft.” - Deu. 18:10
“Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face.” - Deu. 34:10
Next time we’ll take a look at the book of Joshua ... Until then, walk with the King and be a blessing.
In His Name & for His glory,
