Old Testament

Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy presents Moses as the principal speaker to a new generation of Israel on the plains of Moab, east of the Jordan, in the fortieth year after the exodus and just before entry into Canaan. The book says Moses wrote this law and a song, while its account of his death signals narration beyond Moses’s own speeches. Jewish and Christian tradition attributes the book to Moses; scholars debate its composition and final form. Looking back over the wilderness years, Deuteronomy restates and applies covenant teaching to life in the land. It calls Israel to remember God’s grace, love the LORD, reject idolatry, teach the next generation, and choose life through covenant faithfulness. Deuteronomy concludes the Torah—the Bible’s first five books—and shapes the language by which Joshua through Kings, the prophets, and later Scripture assess Israel’s life with God.
