Journey Through Numbers Part 2 and Deuteronomy

DAY 4 OF 14

Intro

Nicole introduces this lesson on Deuteronomy, a book which prepares a new generation to grasp the past even as they prepare to join God’s mission across the Jordan. Deuteronomy will be a hinge, and we want to make sure we look in both directions, behind and ahead, with the lenses Moses provides.

Covenantal History: In the Text

In Deuteronomy (literally, “second law”) Moses summarizes the history of Israel’s journey out of Egypt to the edge of the Promised Land and the laws of the covenant that God revealed. Let’s see what themes are most important in these farewell “sermons.”

Themes in Deuteronomy

There is a tendency in Deuteronomy to repeat for emphasis; it also frames some of the key motifs that define this book. The appearance of these themes in relatively quick succession, over the course of just seven chapters, reinforces how foundational these ideas have been in the Pentateuch, and how important they will be throughout the book of Deuteronomy. We have added a column that details Deuteronomy 10-11 to reinforce what was seen in chapters 4 and 7.
