Sefer Ha'Devarim |
|||
|
The Book of Deuteronomy |
|||
|
In the final book of Torah, Sefer ha'Devarim (סֵפֶר הַדְּבָרִים), Moses reviews the history and the laws given to the Jewish people (the Greek name Deuteronomy comes from the phrase Mishneh haTorah [i.e., מִשְׁנֵה הַתּוֹרָה, Deut. 17:18], which means "the second telling of the law"). Obeying God's laws will bring blessing, while spurning them will bring disaster. Idolatry is repeatedly denounced. |

Outline of Torah in Five Words |
|||
|
As a bit of trivia, if you were to connect the last word of each book of the Torah can tell the story of the entire Torah... Genesis ends with the word be'mitzraim (בְּמִצְרָיִם), "in Egypt"; Exodus ends with ma'sehem (מַסְעֵיהֶם), "their journeys"; Leviticus ends with "Sina"i (סִינָי); Numbers ends with "Jericho" (יְרֵחוֹ), and Deuteronomy ends with "Israel" (יִשְׂרָאֵל). If you string these words together you get something like, "The people were in Egypt, but they journeyed, first to Sinai, then to Jericho, and finally into the land of Israel." |
