Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the book called Deuteronomy?+

The name 'Deuteronomy' comes from Greek words meaning 'second law.' It refers to the book's content of Moses restating and explaining the Law that was originally given at Mount Sinai, not a different set of laws but a restatement and application of the original covenant for the new generation about to enter Canaan.

Who are the primary audience for Deuteronomy?+

Deuteronomy is addressed to the second generation of Israelites—those who were children or not yet born during the exodus from Egypt and the wilderness wandering. Moses delivers his speeches to prepare this new generation to enter and inhabit the Promised Land under God's covenant.

How does Deuteronomy differ from Exodus in terms of legal content?+

While Exodus records the initial giving of the Law at Mount Sinai, Deuteronomy restates and explains those laws in the context of the plains of Moab. Deuteronomy includes additional laws, expansions on existing ones, and practical applications for settled life in Canaan, making it more of a comprehensive legal and exhortatory text for a new generation.
