Description
Antique Torah Manuscript Fragment Of Deuteronomy (3:29-4:18) written on parchment | The Book of Deuteronomy (literally "second law" from Greek deuteros + nomos) is the fifth book of the Jewish Torah, where it is called Devarim (Hebrew דברים), "the words [of Moses]". This portion is Deut. 3:29 - 4:18 - Moses is explaining the Foundations of the Faith, and urging Israel to obey God's Law | Approx. Dimensions 21" H x 7" W | Medium: Parchment | Notes: Chapters 1:30 of the book consist of three sermons or speeches delivered to the Israelites by Moses on the plains of Moab, shortly before they enter the Promised Land. The first sermon recounts the forty years of wilderness wanderings which had led to that moment, and ends with an exhortation to observe the law (or teachings), later referred to as the Law of Moses; the second reminds the Israelites of the need to follow Yahweh and the laws (or teachings) he has given them, on which their possession of the land depends; and the third offers the comfort that even should Israel prove unfaithful and so lose the land, with repentance all can be restored. The final four chapters (31-34) contain the Song of Moses, the Blessing of Moses, and narratives recounting the passing of the mantle of leadership from Moses to Joshua and, finally, the death of Moses on Mount Nebo.
