Deuteronomy 4:44-49

https://www.biblestudytools.com/deuteronomy/passage/?q=deuteronomy+4:44-49

Introduction to the Law

44 This is the law Moses set before the Israelites. 45 These are the stipulations, decrees and laws Moses gave them when they came out of Egypt 46 and were in the valley near Beth Peor east of the Jordan, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon and was defeated by Moses and the Israelites as they came out of Egypt. 47 They took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan. 48 This land extended from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Gorge to Mount Sirion (that is, Hermon), 49 and included all the Arabah east of the Jordan, as far as the Dead Sea, below the slopes of Pisgah.

There are no Study Notes for these verses. But there was an introductory paragraph, as these verses begin the next section, which my study Bible titled, "B. PRINCIPLES FOR GODLY LIVING: MOSES' SECOND ADDRESS (4:44--28:68). Here's what it says:

After reviewing the history of Israel's journey, Moses recounts the Ten Commandments and the other laws given to the Israelites at Mount Sinai. He urges them to obey the law and reminds them of the consequences of disobeying God's laws. The Ten Commandments and all of God's laws point out to us where we fall short and show us how we should act as God's people.


After seeing Sound of Freedom yesterday, it brings home the importance of having a moral compass. God doesn't leave us in chaos. He provides guidance if we would only recognize it and apply it to our thinking and living. Oh. Sometimes just an exhale will do for words.


Our heavenly Father, thank You for all those working to do Your will here on Earth. Thank You for Your guidance in the Ten Commandments. Thank You for our salvation through Your Son, Jesus, who perfectly fulfilled them. We fall short. But You still guide and show us mercy and love. Keep us trying, Lord, to follow You. Help us help You save Your children. In Jesus' name, Amen.
