the fifth book of Moses called Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy, Moses'
"Upper Desert Discourse," consists of a series of farewell
messages by Israel's 120-year-old leader. It is addressed to
the new generation destined to possess the Land of Promise - those
who survived the forty years of wilderness wandering.
Like Leviticus,
Deuteronomy contains a vast amount of legal detail, but its
emphasis is on the laymen rather than the priests. Moses
reminds the new generation of the importance of obedience if they
are to learn from the sad example of their parents.
The Hebrew title of
Deuteronomy is Haddebarim, "The Words," taken from the
opening phrase in 1:1, "These be the words." The parting
words of Moses to the new generation are given in oral and written
form so that they will endure to all generations.
Deuteronomy has been called "five-fifths of the Law" since it
completes the five books of Moses. The Jewish people have
also called it Mishneh Hattorah, "Repetition of the Law,"
which is translated in the Septuagint as To Deuteronomion Touto,
"This Second Law." Deuteronomy, however, is not a second law
but an adaptation and expansion of much of the original law given
on Mount Sinai. The English title comes from the Greek title Deuteronomion, "Second Law." Deuteronomy has also
been appropriately called the "Book of Remembrance."
