Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy acts as a powerful final message from Moses to the new generation of Israelites who are ready to enter the Promised Land. The book is structured as a series of three speeches delivered just before Moses's death. In these addresses, Moses reviews the past forty years of wilderness wandering, reiterates the laws and covenants God established at Mount Sinai, and strongly urges the people to remain faithful. He presents a clear choice: obedience to the Law will bring blessing and prosperity in the land, while disobedience will result in curses and exile. Deuteronomy provides crucial context for understanding Israel's history and includes the famous command known as the Shema.
