The Name Deuteronomy NAU Deuteronomy 17:18 "Now it shall come about when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he shall write for himself a copy of this law on a scroll in the presence of the Levitical priests. The English name for the book comes from the Greek and Latin, and the title in the LXX is in the Greek also. noun accusative neuter singular common [LXX Suppl] , , ; second or repeated law, also Deuteronomy, title in the LXX for the last book of the Pentateuch. 7 8. The Name Deuteronomy NAU Deuteronomy 17:18 a copy of this law.. Dont be confused by the name and think that this book is all about the law. No other Old Testament book, except the Psalms, uses the word love as much as Deuteronomy. When you consider that the Psalms I have 150 chapters Deuteronomy only has 34, you might better call this The Love Book. NAU Deuteronomy 7:7 "The LORD did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any of the peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples, 8 but because the LORD loved you and kept the oath which He swore to your forefathers NAU Deuteronomy 23:5a blessing for you because the LORD your God loves you. NAU Deuteronomy 4:37 "Because He loved your fathers 8 9. Deuteronomy 1:17 No Partiality With God NAU Deuteronomy 1:17 'You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not fear man, for the judgment is God's. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it. God clearly wants, fair justice for all. We must be fair, impartial, and just if every human being. NAU Deuteronomy 10:17 "For the LORD your Goddoes not show partiality nor take a bribe. NAU Job 13:10 "He will surely reprove you If you secretly show partiality. NAU James 2:9 But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. What law? Romans 2:11 Malachi 3:5 1 Timothy 5:18 Ephesians 6:9 Job 13:10 10. Intro-Deuteronomy Paul E. Steele Paul E. Steele was senior pastor of the 'Valley Church' Cupertino, CA.

The 2nd. Law of Moses NAU Deuteronomy 29:1 These are the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which He had made with them at Horeb. Many commentators object to the English name, Deuteronomy, and say that it is not a second law but a retelling of the same law. But that's not what God said. Most say that this was very probably delivered as three sermons, but some estimate up to 10 sermons from it. 11 12. BibleOverview Rose s 12 I would add right here another covenant based on Deuteronomy 29:1 13. Documentary Hypothesis, J.E.D.P. For a fuller look at the Documentary Hypothesis I will include a few slides after the The End slide from our study of the book of Genesis. http://www.slideshare.net/dkooyers/genesis- ch-1-1a-2012-intro-why-study-gen-gen-rev- torah-toledot-documentary-hypothesis- historical-narrative Those slides will look like 13 14. DOCUMENTARY HYPOTHESIS, J.E.D.P. For Genesis, therefore, there were by now three alleged documentary sources which had been used in the process of compilation: a Yahwistic (J) source, an Elohistic (E) document, and a postexilic Priestly (P) source, the latter formerly thought to have been part of the Grundschrift.

History Summaries In Deuteronomy 1-3, Hebrews 11, Acts 7, Nehemiah 9:9-25 Nehemiah 9:9 "You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, And heard their cry by the Red Sea. 10 "Then Thou didst perform signs and wonders against Pharaoh, Against all his servants and all the people of his land; For Thou didst know that they acted arrogantly toward them, And didst make a name for Thyself as it is this day. 11 "And Thou didst divide the sea before them, So they passed through the midst of the sea on dry ground; And their pursuers Thou didst hurl into the depths, Like a stone into raging waters. 12 "And with a pillar of cloud Thou didst lead them by day, And with a pillar of fire by night To light for them the way In which they were to go. 13 "Then Thou didst come down on Mount Sinai, And didst speak with them from heaven; Thou didst give to them just ordinances and true laws, Good statutes and commandments. 14 "So Thou didst make known to them Thy holy sabbath, And didst lay down for them commandments, statutes, and law, Through Thy servant Moses. 15 "Thou didst provide bread from heaven for them for their hunger, Thou didst bring forth water from a rock for them for their thirst, And Thou didst tell them to enter in order to possess The land which Thou didst swear to give them. 16 "But they, our fathers, acted arrogantly; They became stubborn and would not listen to Thy commandments. 17 "And they refused to listen, And did not remember Thy wondrous deeds which Thou hadst performed among them; So they became stubborn and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But Thou art a God of forgiveness, Gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness; And Thou didst not forsake them. 18 "Even when they made for themselves A calf of molten metal And said, 'This is your God Who brought you up from Egypt,' And committed great blasphemies, 19 Thou, in Thy great compassion, Didst not forsake them in the wilderness; The pillar of cloud did not leave them by day, To guide them on their way, Nor the pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go. 20 "And Thou didst give Thy good Spirit to instruct them, Thy manna Thou didst not withhold from their mouth, And Thou didst give them water for their thirst. 21 "Indeed, forty years Thou didst provide for them in the wilderness and they were not in want; Their clothes did not wear out, nor did their feet swell. 22 "Thou didst also give them kingdoms and peoples, And Thou didst allot them to them as a boundary. And they took possession of the land of Sihon the king of Heshbon, And the land of Og the king of Bashan. 23 "And Thou didst make their sons numerous as the stars of heaven, And Thou didst bring them into the land Which Thou hadst told their fathers to enter and possess. 24 "So their sons entered and possessed the land. And Thou didst subdue before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, And Thou didst give them into their hand, with their kings, and the peoples of the land, To do with them as they desired. 25 "And they captured fortified cities and a fertile land. They took possession of houses full of every good thing, Hewn cisterns, vineyards, olive groves, Fruit trees in abundance. So they ate, were filled, and grew fat, And reveled in Thy great goodness. 17. Psalm 105:27, The Bible Confirms The Exodus Psalm 105:27 They performed His wondrous acts among them, And miracles in the land of Ham. 28 He sent darkness and made it dark; And they did not rebel against His words. 29 He turned their waters into blood And caused their fish to die. 30 Their land swarmed with frogs Even in the chambers of their kings. 31 He spoke, and there came a swarm of flies And gnats in all their territory. 32 He gave them hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land. 33 He struck down their vines also and their fig trees, And shattered the trees of their territory. 34 He spoke, and locusts came, And young locusts, even without number, 35 And ate up all vegetation in their land, And ate up the fruit of their ground. 36 He also struck down all the firstborn in their land, The first fruits of all their vigor. 37 Then He brought them out with silver and gold, And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled. 38 Egypt was glad when they departed, For the dread of them had fallen upon them. 18. Acts 7:42, The Bible Confirms The Exodus NAU Acts 7:42 "But God turned away and delivered them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, 'It was not to Me that you offered victims and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, was it, O house of Israel? 43 'You also took along the tabernacle of Moloch and the star of the god Rompha, the images which you made to worship them. I also will remove you beyond Babylon.' 44 "Our fathers had the tabernacle of testimony in the wilderness, just as He who spoke to Moses directed him to make it according to the pattern which he had seen. 45 "And having received it in their turn, our fathers brought it in with Joshua upon dispossessing the nations whom God drove out before our fathers, until the time of David. 19. Hebrews 11:23, The Bible Confirms The Exodus Hebrews 11:23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's edict. 24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; 25 choosing rather to endure ill- treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin; 26 considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that he who destroyed the first-born might not touch them. 29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land; and the Egyptians, when they attempted it, were drowned. 20. Deuteronomy 1:27, They Grumbled Deuteronomy 1:27 and you grumbled in your tents and said, 'Because the LORD hates us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to destroy us. 21.

DOCUMENTARY HYPOTHESIS, J.E.D.P. For Genesis, therefore, there were by now three alleged documentary sources which had been used in the process of compilation: a Yahwistic (J) source, an Elohistic (E) document, and a postexilic Priestly (P) source, the latter formerly thought to have been part of the Grundschrift. (from International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, revised edition, Copyright 1979 by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. All rights reserved.) 29. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The documentary hypothesis, (DH) (sometimes called the Wellhausen hypothesis), holds that the Torah (the Five Books of Moses) was derived from originally independent, parallel and complete narratives, which were subsequently combined into the current form by a series of redactors (editors). The number of these is usually set at four, but this is not an essential part of the hypothesis. The hypothesis was developed in the 18th and 19th centuries from the attempt to reconcile inconsistencies in the biblical text. Biblical scholars, using source criticism, eventually arrived at the theory that the Torah was composed of selections woven together from separate, at times inconsistent, sources, each originally a complete and independent document. By the end of the 19th century it was generally agreed that there were four main sources, combined into their final form by a series of redactors, R. These four sources came to be known as the Yahwist, or Jahwist, J (J being the German equivalent of the English letter Y); the Elohist, E; the Deuteronomist, D, (the name comes from the Book of Deuteronomy, D's contribution to the Torah); and the Priestly Writer, P.[1] 30. Julius Wellhausen's contribution was to order these sources chronologically as JEDP, giving them a coherent setting in the evolving religious history of Israel, which he saw as one of ever-increasing priestly power. Wellhausen's formulation was: the Yahwist source ( J ) : written c. 950 BC in the southern Kingdom of Judah. the Elohist source ( E ) : written c. 850 BC in the northern Kingdom of Israel. the Deuteronomist ( D ) : written c. 600 BC in Jerusalem during a period of religious reform. the Priestly source ( P ) : written c. 500 BC by Kohanim (Jewish priests) in exile in Babylon. While the hypothesis has been increasingly challenged by other models in the last part of the 20th century, its terminology and insights continue to provide the framework for modern theories on the origins of the Torah.[2]. 31. DOCUMENTARY HYPOTHESIS, J.E.D.P. Critical View. Critics partition the book of Genesis and view it as composed of composite sources pieced together by a late exilic or postexilic editor. J, the Jehovist, possibly wrote about 850 B.C., in the S (Judah), employing the name Jehovah. E, the Elohist, is said to have used the name Elohim, writing about 750 B.C., in the N (Ephraim). The narrative sections J and E were allegedly fitted into the scriptural history of the origin of the Jewish nation, called the Priestly Code (P), about 500 B.C. This documentary theory, which was subtly developed, highly plausible, and universally popular, is a highly traditional product of modern rationalistic skepticism and is based on false literary criteria, unsound philosophic presuppositions, and a manifest enmity against the miraculous and the prophetic elements that constitute the foundation of the Pentateuch. (See R. K. Harrison, Introduction to the Old Testament [1969], pp. 542-65.) (from The New Unger's Bible Dictionary. Originally published by Moody Press of Chicago, Illinois. Copyright 1988.) 32.

Neh 8:1 the Book of the Law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded for Israel. Ezra 7:6 Ezra... He was a teacher well versed in the Law of Moses, Ex 17:14 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Write this on a scroll Ex 24:4 Moses then wrote down everything the Lord had said. Ex 34:27 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Write down these words, Num 33:2 At the Lord's command Moses recorded the stages in their journey 34. NO MATTER WHO WROTE IT Its Gods Word! We hold to the verbal plenary divine inspiration of all Scripture. Matthew 22:32 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of the dead but of the living. Galatians 3:16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed," meaning one person, who is Christ. 35. NO MATTER WHO WROTE IT 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, Matthew 5:18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 36. The Lord bore you, as a man carries his son, on the entire way that you traveled until you arrived at this place. DEUTERONOMY (1:31) 37. Deuteronomy 1:31 And in the wilderness, as you have seen, that the Lord bore you, as a man carries his son, on the entire way that you traveled until you arrived at this place. Deuteronomy 1:31 Jerusalem Inspiration Today's verse reminds us of how God lovingly carried the Children of Israel through the desert to the Land of Israel. Today in Israel we can board many forms of public transportation, but we continue to remember that it is He who carries us on His back and helps us get to our destination safely.
