Deuteronomy 16-20, Psalm 45

Episode Summary

Moses continues to speak to the Israelites before his impending death, reminding this new generation about the laws and statutes that have been put in place. Many of the structures given here for a system of justice continue to provide a template for our judicial systems in the west today, including concepts such as the testimony of multiple witnesses, a hierarchy of courts, and varying degrees of manslaughter. We’ll see a foretelling of King Solomon’s fall as Moses forewarns them about the dangers of a king who acquires too many wives and horses. We’ll also see a foreshadow of Christ in today’s passage; He is the prophet raised from among Israel’s brothers who will tell them everything God commands Him.
