Inhaltsangabe

In Deuteronomy, as Moses reaches his final “teaching moment” in the closing chapters of the Torah, he conveys his most significant orations reflecting God’s laws and ethical principles to the new generation about to enter the Promised Land.

Rabbi Hirsch also waxes eloquent in his inspirational analyses of Moses’ speeches, as well as his creative symbolic explications of the ritual mitzvot found in this last book of the Torah.

In Deuteronomy, Moses is not the impersonal transmitter of detailed, technical ritual laws, but rather an impassioned speaker -- speaking directly to the people in his own eloquent words -- using a rhetorical style directed to inspire and enthuse the entire audience of the new generation. Interspersed throughout these edifying sermons are passionate exhortations appealing to the nation’s commitment to the mission they vowed to achieve when they became the covenantal partner of the God of Israel at Mt. Sinai -- to observe God’s teachings and become a “kingdom of priests and a holy nation.”
