Deuteronomy: Covenant Renewal

Deuteronomy: Covenant Renewal

Deuteronomy: Covenant Renewal focuses on a series of speeches by Moses, given to the Israelites on the plains of Moab before they enter the Promised Land. It recaps Israel’s journey through the wilderness, restates the laws given at Mount Sinai, and emphasizes covenant faithfulness to God.

Key themes include obedience to God's commandments, the blessings for following the covenant, and the curses for disobedience. Moses urges the new generation to remain loyal to God and avoid the idolatry of surrounding nations. Deuteronomy ends with Moses' death and Joshua being appointed as the new leader of Israel.
