The Fifth Book of Moses Called
DEUTERONOMY ​

Deuteronomy, Moses' "Upper Desert Discourse," consist of a series of farewell messages by Israel's 120-year-old leader. It is addressed to the new generation destined to possess the Land of Promise-those who survived the forty years of wilderness wandering.

Like Leviticus, Deuteronomy contains a vast amount of legal detail, but it's emphasis is on the laymen rather than the priest. Moses reminds the new generation of the importance of obedience if they are to learn from the sad example of their parents.

The Hebrew title of Deuteronomy is Haddebharium, "The Words," taken from the opening phrase Deut 1:1, "These are the words." The parting words of Moses to the new generation are given in oral and written form so that they will endure to all generations. Deuteronomy has been called "five-fifths of the Law" since it completes the five books of Moses. The Jewish people have also called it Mishneh Hattorah, "Repetition of the Law," which is translated in the Septuagint as To Deuteronomion Touto, "The Second Law." Deuteronomy, original law given on Mount Sinai. The English title comes from the Greek title Deuteronomion, "Second Law." Deuteronomy has also been appropriately called the "Book of Remembrance."
