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.

God commands the ceremony for offering the firstfruits of the harvest, and the prayer of thanksgiving that must be recited to remember their history from the time of their ancestor, a wandering Aramean.
Moses commands the priests to erect large stones covered with plaster, inscribing the Law of God on them. He then proclaims twelve curses against various forms of hidden disobedience and sin.
