| Summary |
The word "Deuteronomy" derives from the Greek for "second law," and it's an apt name: there's little in this book of scripture that can't be found elsewhere in the first five books of the Bible. But what sets Deuteronomy apart is its format: the book's contents are arranged as three first-person speeches delivered by Moses to the Israelite people as they stand on the doorstep of the Promised Land. Moses recounts the people's experience wandering the desert for 40 years and restates the laws and commandments of God. But unlike the sprawling, complicated stories of the books of Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers, Deuteronomy is focused and compact. "Hear, O Israel," Moses says, giving voice to one of the central tenets of Judaism, "The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." |
