* 23rd - Numbers 30-36
Vows and covenants. Children of Israel wanted to avenge the tribes. They made oblations to God. They made offerings - time, tithing, etc. Tribes of Israel camped on East side of Moab. Reuben and Gad were inheritance. Moses warned them that if they turned away from God His anger would increase.
Gem - We must help others obtain blessings.
Emily was impressive with her favorite scripture being D&C 64:10.
* 24th Deuteronomy 1-13
** Deuteronomy means repetition of law.
** Prototype means the original pattern or model something is based on.
** Shema is several scripture passages, from the first books of the Bible, which are written on parchment paper then rolled up and placed inside a tefillin or Phylactery and a Mezuzah and recited daily by Devout Jewish men. The Phylactery is worn on the forehead and the arm when reciting the prayers. The Mezuzah is hung on the door frame of the dwelling.
Deuteronomy contains Moses' final words to the Children of Israel before they entered Canaan with Joshua as their leader. Moses was a prototype of the Messiah. Moses' sermons were given about 40 years after the Children of Israel were brought out of Egypt. Deuteronomy contains three great final sermons and heartfelt pleas. Deuteronomy is the most quoted book of scripture by Old Testament Prophets and referred to almost 100 times in the New Testament.
The Children of Israel were reminded to keep the Commandments and remember that they had heard God speak to Moses in Sinai.
* The first discourse reminded them that the Lord had rescued them from Egypt and helped Moses part the Red Sea to save them from Pharaoh and his army.
* The second discourse reminded them that the Lord provided Manna for them to eat in the wilderness so they wouldn't go hungry.
* The third discourse reminded the children of Israel that when Moses came down from Mount Sinai he had to chastise them for worshipping a golden calf.
