Study 0 From The Book of
Deuteronomy is: The Introduction of Deuteronomy's Book
Introduction
The book of Deuteronomy finds
the people again on the threshold of the land after the forty years of wandering.
Moses, who is about to lay down his great task, address them before his
death. The book consists chiefly of his
addresses. Naturally, there is much
matter repeated from earlier portions of the Pentateuch and, just as naturally,
it is generally in a rather different form. Laws that were promulgated in the
wilderness are adapted for use in the land. New matter, such as that relating
to the central sanctuary and the setting up of the Kingdom, is introduced.
Finally, Moses, after solemn warnings to the people, appoints his successor,
and ascends Mount Nebo to be laid to the rest by God.
