7 Things You Didn't Know About Deuteronomy. Its Name Is a Translation Mistake.

Deep Made Simple breaks open the most overlooked scroll in the Torah. Deuteronomy has a reputation as a legal leftovers book, a dry repeat of rules already covered in Exodus and Numbers. That reputation is wrong, and the name printed on the cover is a translation mistake that has been quietly misleading readers for over two thousand years. This is the fifth and final book of the Pentateuch, and almost all of it is the voice of one man, Moses, one hundred and twenty years old, with about a month left, standing on the wrong side of the Jordan River and talking to a nation he has spent forty years leading. What he says in those thirty-four chapters is not a legal reissue. It is a farewell speech, shaped like an ancient treaty, loaded with things most readers have never noticed. That farewell speech contains a law about kings written before Israel had a single one. It contains the two sentences Jewish families have said every morning and evening for over three thousand years. It contains the three desert temptation answers Jesus gave, and every one of them comes from this one scroll. And it ends outdoors, at an unmarked grave in a foreign country, where the location was hidden on purpose.
