Deuteronomy by Moses (-1900)
Deuteronomy is the fifth book of the Bible and the last book of the Pentateuch. It is a work of Moses, containing his farewell address to the Israelites before his death.
The book begins with a review of the Israelites’ journey from Egypt to the plains of Moab, where they are about to enter the Promised Land. Moses reminds them of the laws and commands that God has given them, and encourages them to obey them. He also warns them of the consequences of disobedience.
Moses then reviews the laws and commands that God has given them, including the Ten Commandments. He also outlines the blessings that will come to those who obey God’s laws, and the curses that will come to those who disobey.
The book ends with Moses’ death and burial. It is followed by the book of Joshua, which tells the story of the Israelites’ conquest of the Promised Land.
