SUMMARY:The Book of Deuteronomy: High Stakes and High Drama on the Plains of Moav
LOCATION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:10 East 66th Street in Manhattan
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:=0D=0A=
Deuteronomy is, perhaps, the least known of the Five Books of Moses, as it is typically read during the summer months. Organized as a recapitulation of the code of law and the 40 years of wilderness wanderings, it is far more than a repetition of the first four books of the Torah. Instead, through sweeping rhetoric, moral exhortation and evocative linguistic changes, Moses attempts to recreate the power and immediacy of the Sinai revelation, rekindle faith and faithfulness to the God of Abraham, and inspire collective commitment to the Covenant. Compare the original and Deuteronomic versions of the narrative. Read about the anguish of Moses as he is denied permission to enter the Promised Land, his farewell “sonnet” to his beloved flock, and his poignant blessing of the People Israel, as he dies “by the kiss of God.”=0D=0A=
