Do Not Listen to That Prophet
Deuteronomy 13 warns Israel: if a prophet or dreamer arises and gives a sign that comes true, yet says, "Let us go after other gods," they must not listen. The Lord is testing whether they love him with all their heart, and the same holds when the tempter is a brother, a son, a wife, or a friend....

The Place the Lord Chooses for His Name
Deuteronomy 12 commands Israel to destroy the Canaanite places of worship and to seek the Lord only at the place he would choose to make his name dwell, bringing their offerings there and rejoicing before him. The chapter is framed by matching warnings at its beginning and end. The place mattered...
-
The Tablets Restored
After Israel's sin with the golden calf, the Lord had Moses cut new tablets and wrote the Ten Commandments on them again, and Moses placed them in the ark. Aaron, though he had sinned greatly, was forgiven and his son succeeded him as priest, and the Levites were set apart to carry the ark and to...

Man Does Not Live by Bread Alone
At his baptism the Father declared Jesus his beloved Son, echoing Psalm 2 and Isaiah 42, and then the Spirit led him into the wilderness. Tempted to turn stones into bread, Jesus answered from Deuteronomy 8:3: man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God....
-
The Covenant Renewed
After the golden calf, the Lord renewed his covenant: Moses cut new tablets, the Lord wrote the Ten Commandments again, and the tablets were kept in the ark. Israel resumed its journey and the Levites were set apart for service. A chastened people learned they lived only because of God's mercy…

A Stubborn People
Moses reminds Israel how they provoked the Lord at Horeb, making a golden calf while he received the tablets of the covenant. He broke the tablets before their eyes, a public sign that they had broken the covenant, and destroyed the idol. Then he fell before the Lord for forty days and nights,...
-
Not Because of Your Righteousness
Moses warns Israel not to say that the Lord gave them the land because of their righteousness. The nations would be driven out for their wickedness, and Israel would receive the land because the Lord kept his oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Far from earning it, Israel had been a stubborn…

The Better Bread
The manna in the wilderness was no ordinary food. God sent it from heaven to humble Israel and teach them that man lives by every word that comes from his mouth. Obedience was the response of a people already redeemed, not a way to earn the land. Jesus is the true bread from heaven. Israel…

Not by Bread Alone
Deuteronomy 8 calls Israel to remember the wilderness, where the Lord humbled them, let them hunger, and fed them with manna, so they would know that man does not live by bread alone but by every word from the mouth of the Lord. Prosperity in the land would tempt them to forget him and say their...

The Lord's Holy War
Exodus 23 and Deuteronomy 7 describe the Lord going before Israel to drive out the nations and to destroy their altars and idols. The conquest of Canaan was the Lord's holy war, a judgment on wicked nations, and Israel's part was to serve him alone and show their enemies no pity. Grace extends to…

Because the Lord Loves You
Deuteronomy 7 begins and ends with the command to destroy the Canaanites and their idols, and at its center stands the reason: Israel is a people holy to the Lord, chosen not for their number or merit but because the Lord set his love on them and kept the oath he swore to their fathers. Israel…

What Do These Words Mean?
Deuteronomy 6 expects children to ask what God's statutes and testimonies mean, and parents to answer with the story of redemption: we were slaves in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out to give us the land. Obedience is the grateful response to that saving work. On the road to Emmaus the risen…

Do Not Forget the Lord
When Israel enters a land of houses, wells, and vineyards they did not build or plant, prosperity will tempt them to forget the Lord who brought them out of Egypt. Moses calls for undivided fear, worship, and oaths in the Lord's name alone, and warns against testing God as Israel did at Massah…

The Covenant and the Great Commandment
Deuteronomy 6 calls Israel to love the Lord with all the heart, soul, and might, and to keep his words on their hearts and teach them to their children at home and on the road. The law was never a merely external code; Moses already looked for a circumcised heart, and the prophets promised a new...
