(second [giving of the] law)
Review in view of Canaan conflicts. The parting counsels of Moses reviewing their disobedience, yet God’s goodness (40 yrs.) in view of soon entering into possession of the promised land, in spite of failure under law (9:4, 5), stressing the sure results of obedience and disobedience. Relationship is direct, almost omitting intermediate links of priests and Levites. There is very little typical truth as it is more for the conscience, heart, life and ways. God’s one chosen center is stressed twenty-one times from chapter 12 on.
