Deuteronomy

Who Wrote This Book:   Moses was the author of most of Deuteronomy at a time very near the end of his life.  No doubt Joshua wrote the account of Moses’ death (Deuteronomy 34) and possibly certain other editorial explanations.  He probably added these to the Mosaic document after Moses died, and then continued to preserve all the Mosaic writings by placing them in the Ark of the Covenant (Deuteronomy 31:24-26).

Date of Writing:   Deuteronomy opens with a reference to the first day of the eleventh month of the 40TH  year.  This is 38 years, eight months and ten days after the nation departed from Sinai (Deut 1:3; cf. Num 10:11-12)  Therefore, Numbers covers a period of time known as the wilderness wanderings which lasted 38 years, nine months and ten days.

Written To:   The Hebrews as they prepare to enter the land of Canaan.

Theme of the Book of Deuteronomy:

The last of the five books of Moses is Deuteronomy, which means “second law” (from Greek deuteros and nomos, meaning “second” and “law,” respectively).  The name is derived from the fact that Deuteronomy 5:6-21 reiterates the Ten Commandments as well as many of the other Mosaic laws as first given in Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers.  The earlier laws are also enlarged and applied in various ways.

Deuteronomy also can be regarded as Moses’ valedictory, reviewing the history of the nation, especially since their escape from Egypt.  The book actually includes three components, delivered at different times and places (see Deuteronomy 1:5; 4:46; 29:1), but all at various locations in the land of Moab just east of the Jordan River.  Israel had been in the wilderness almost forty years, and was finally preparing to enter the Promised Land.  Moses would not be able to go with them, but would die in the land of Moab after viewing Canaan from afar (Deuteronomy 34:1-6) and having turned the leadership over to Joshua (Numbers 27:18-23; Deuteronomy 31:7,14).

Frequently cited in the New Testament, Deuteronomy contains Israel’s great statement of monotheistic faith (Deuteronomy 6:4-6), as well as Christ’s “greatest” commandment (Deuteronomy 6:5).  Jesus chose words from Deuteronomy to turn back the three temptations of Satan (Deuteronomy 6:13, 16; 8:3).  Remarkable prophecies of both blessings and curses on Israel are found especially in Deuteronomy 28 and 29.  The Song of Moses is recorded in Deuteronomy 32 and his final prophetic blessings on each tribe (except Simeon) in Deuteronomy 33.

Key Verses:

Deuteronomy 5:6-21   The Ten Commandments

Deuteronomy 5:32     32 So be careful to do what the LORD your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or to the left.  33 Walk in obedience to all that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.
