Publisher's summary

Joseph Lumpkin's concise study of Deuteronomy, the fifth and final book of the Torah, offers a profound exploration of its role as a pivotal bridge between the wilderness narratives and the subsequent history of Israel in the Promised Land, detailed in Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings. The name "Deuteronomy," derived from the Greek "Deuteronomion," meaning "second law," aptly captures its purpose as a reiteration and expansion of earlier laws.

Set on the plains of Moab, east of the Jordan River, Deuteronomy marks a symbolic moment of transition and reflection for the Israelites on the brink of entering Canaan. Structured around three major speeches by Moses, the book revisits Israel's history, reaffirms the covenant with God, and provides comprehensive laws and instructions for life in the new land. It culminates with the Song of Moses, blessings for Israel's tribes, and an account of Moses' death—a narrative element suggesting contributions beyond Moses, as explored in apocryphal texts like the Book of Jubilees.

Deuteronomy's historical and religious significance is multifaceted. It refreshes the laws of Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers for a new generation, emphasizing the continuous teaching of the law, especially to children, to ensure enduring faithfulness to the covenant. This focus on memory and instruction highlights Deuteronomy's enduring role as a cornerstone for education and spiritual growth.
