Deuteronomy Movement

Historical Prologue: From Horeb to Moab

Moses begins Deuteronomy by locating Israel in Moab and rehearsing the journey from Horeb through Kadesh Barnea, failed faith, wilderness discipline, Edom/Moab/Ammon restraint, Transjordan victories, land allotments, Joshua’s strengthening, Moses’ denied entry, and the call to remember the uniqueness and nearness of Israel’s God.
