Bible (ASV) 05: Deuteronomy

by American Standard Version

Deuteronomy, meaning 'second law' in Greek, is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible and the culmination of the Torah or Pentateuch. Authored by Moses, it primarily recounts his final speeches to the Israelites before their entry into the Promised Land. The book focuses on a comprehensive restatement of the law given to the Israelites, serving as a guide for their life in the land they are about to inherit. It emphasizes the importance of obedience, faithfulness, and justice in their relationship with God and with each other. The book includes historical accounts of the past, warnings against disobedience, and instructions for establishing a just society. Through Moses' eloquent words, Deuteronomy provides a profound reflection on the covenant between God and His people and the implications of their choices for the future.
