The Book of Deuteronomy

The book of Deuteronomy is the fifth and final part of the Pentateuch/Torah. Prior to Moses' death, he gave three homilies to Israel's vital, new wilderness generation. His homilies recount the history of their fathers' Exodus liberation, the reasons for the forty years of judgment in the wilderness wandering, and the renewal of the Sinai Covenant for the generation who was to fulfill Israel's destiny to be conquerors of the land promised to their forefathers.
