In one of his final official acts, Moses pronounces a prophetic blessing on each of the twelve tribes of Israel, echoing Jacob's blessing in Genesis 49 and framed by an introduction depicting Yahweh coming in glory from Sinai with His holy ones to give His law to Israel in love. The individual bles…
The Song of Moses is a covenant lawsuit — one of the great poems of the Old Testament — in which God calls heaven and earth as witnesses against Israel's future apostasy and records the indictment before it occurs. Constable traces its structure from the proclamation of God's faithful character as …
Moses, now 120 years old, publicly commissions Joshua as his successor before all Israel with the charge "be strong and courageous" and deposits the written Book of the Law with the Levitical priests with instructions to read it aloud to all Israel every seventh year at the Feast of Booths. God app…
Chapter 30 offers Deuteronomy's most profound hope: even after the full measure of covenant curses falls on Israel in exile, God promises to gather her from the ends of the earth and circumcise her heart so that she loves Him with all her heart — an anticipation of the New Covenant that Constable l…

He assembles all…
Chapter 28 is one of the most consequential chapters in Scripture: fourteen verses of blessing promise that obedience will elevate Israel above all nations — blessed in city and countryside, in children, crops, herds, and battle, with rain from God's heavenly treasury and a position of lending to n…
Moses instructs Israel to set up large plastered stones at Shechem and inscribe all the words of the law on them upon entering the land, publicly constituting the Mosaic covenant as Israel's national charter. An altar of uncut stones is to be built on Mt. Ebal for burnt and peace offerings, six tri…
Chapter 26 closes Moses' second major address (chs. 5-26) with two covenant rituals: the firstfruits offering, in which the worshiper recites Israel's covenant creed — "My father was a wandering Aramean...He brought us to this place and gave us this land flowing with milk and honey" — as a public p…
The levirate law requires a surviving brother to marry his dead brother's childless widow in order to preserve the dead man's name and inheritance in Israel; if he refuses, the widow performs the sandal ceremony before the elders as a public act of shaming that permanently marks his line as the hou…
