Course Description

The Book of Numbers narrates the final leg of the Exodus from Egypt, beginning at Mt. Sinai where Moses received the revelation of the Torah and ending at Mt. Pisgah, near the fords of the Jordan River that allow crossing into the Promised Land. The book of Deuteronomy, as the Greek form of the name suggests, is a second recitation of the stipulations revealed to Moses at Mt. Sinai. This second giving of the Law, however, comes in the form of Moses’s final testament to the children of Israel before he dies. Like the testament of Jacob at the end of the Book of Genesis, this Testament of Moses looks back in order to look ahead. These final words of Moses in Deuteronomy anticipate the role of the prophets in the subsequent books of the Bible.
