DEUTERONOMY : Moses' address to the Hebrews reviewed all
the time of the forty years since they left Egypt.
The Ten Commandments are repeated once again
(Deuteronomy 5: 7-21).
The setting aside of the tribe of Levi to work for the Lord and
not to have land portions in the Promised Land was described
(Deuteronomy 10: 8-9). Once again, what to eat and not to eat are
set out (Deuteronomy 14: 3-21). The rule that every 7 years
people must "cancel debts" (Deuteronomy 15: 1) was
mentioned -- called the Year of Release. Moses' instructions to
set up three Cities of Refuge (Deuteronomy 19:2-3) is as
in the Numbers' account. The rule for anyone who is a false
witness against someone was given as: "...life for life, eye
for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot."
(Deuteronomy 19:21). It was pointed out that cross-dressing was
wrong for either sex (Deuteronomy 22: 5). Moses, at 120 years
old, was instructed by God to go to Mount Nebo (the Abirim
mountains) in the land of Moab across from Jericho and view
Canaan (the Promised Land), after which he should die. The Lord
buried him in a valley near Beth Peor in Moab in an unknown
place.
