(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.
B.C. 1451.
Author: Moses.
2 Kings 14:66But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin. (2 Kings 14:6); Acts 3:22, 23; 7:3722For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. 23And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. (Acts 3:22‑23)
37This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear. (Acts 7:37); Rom. 10:1919But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. (Romans 10:19); 1 Cor. 9:99For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? (1 Corinthians 9:9).
