Get It Straight

Some of Christ's most important quotations from the Old Testament were directly from the book of Deuteronomy. He uses the authoritative expression, It is written," as He quotes from Deuteronomy 8:3; 6:13, 16, on two important occasions (Matthew 4:4, 7 and 10). So, again, Matthew 22:24, compared with Deuteronomy 25:5. So again, Matthew 19:7-8; Mark 10:3-4; John 5:46-47. Again in Acts, Peter quotes from this book (3:22-23); Stephen also (7:37); and Paul (Romans 10:19; 12:19; Galatians 3:10).

Second Go Around

Why do you think God thought it necessary for Moses to repeat the “words”?

Since the giving of the Law The whole generation of adults had perished in the wilderness. AND?

These people had shown the weakness of faith to be led into sin, such as with Balaam and Balak.

Why the need?

Too often we look at the generation that falls in the wilderness and the generastion that goes into the Promised Land as the closing of one door and the opening of another. They are not, they were the development of a people that shared experiences and the consiquences of life as Gods chosen people. V:9-15
