THE TORAH
Deuteronomy
DEVARIM
Deuteronomy is the fifth book of the Torah
It contains Moses’ farewell speeches to the Israelites. Restating the laws of the Torah, the history of the Israelites, and the covenant between G-d and Israel.
The important emphasis on following God’s commandments, the love of G-d for Israel, and the blessings and curses that will come upon Israel depending on their obedience or disobedience.
Chapter 33
33rd Chapter of Deuteronomy Could Have Been a Good Place to Reveal those Written in the Greek book – New Testament
Nearing The End Of The Torah
Still there is no prophecy neither revelation nor sign that G-d’s Commandments will no longer apply in the future.
No hint that He is G-d the Son.
No clue that He will become a man.
No idea that He will be crucified and offered to Himself as the son and sacrifice.
No hunch that He is coming back.
*Yet you continue to listen, follow, obey and believe in the Greek book – New Testament?
“The Blessing of Moses”
And this is the blessing that Moses, the man of God, bestowed upon the Children of Israel before his death.
33:1
… — from His right hand He presented the fiery Torah to them,
33.2
Indeed, You loved the tribes greatly, all its holy ones were in Your hands; for they planted themselves at Your feet, bearing [the yoke] of Your utterances:
33:3
“The Torah that Moses commanded us is the heritage of the Congregation of Jacob.”
:4
He became King over Jeshurun when the numbers of the nation gathered — the tribes of Israel in unity.
:5
Of Levi he said: Your Tumim and Your Urim befit Your devout one, whom You tested at Massah, and whom You challenged at the waters of Meribah.
:8
… for they [the Levites] have observed Your word and Your covenant they preserved.
:11
They shall teach your ordinances to Jacob and Your Torah to Israel; they shall place incense before Your presence, and burnt offerings on Your Altar.
:10
Bless, O Hashem, his resources, and favor the work of his hands; smash the loins of his foes and his enemies, that they may not rise.
:11
… He hovers over him all day long; and rests between his shoulders.
:12
There is none like God, O Jeshurun; He rides across heaven to help you, and in His majesty through the upper heights.
:26
This is the abode of God immemorial, and below are the world’s mighty ones; He drove the enemy away from before you, and He said, “Destroy!”
:27
Fortunate are you, O Israel: Who is like you! O people delivered by Hashem, the Shield of your help, Who is the Sword of your grandeur; your foes will try to deceive you, but you will trample their haughty ones.
:29
1 And this is the blessing with which Moses, the man of God, blessed the children of Israel [just] before his death.
2 He said: “The Lord came from Sinai and shone forth from Seir to them; He appeared from Mount Paran and came with some of the holy myriads; from His right hand was a fiery Law for them.
3 Indeed, You showed love for peoples; all his holy ones are in Your hand, for they let themselves be centered at Your feet, bearing Your utterances.
4 The Torah that Moses commanded us is a legacy for the congregation of Jacob.
5 And He was King in Jeshurun, whenever the sum total of the people were gathered, and the tribes of Israel were together,
6 May Reuben live and not die, and may his people be counted in the number.
7 May this [also be] for Judah.” And he [Moses] said, “O Lord, hearken to Judah’s voice and bring him to his people; may his hands do battle for him, and may You be a help against his adversaries.”
8 And of Levi he said: “Your Tummim and Urim belong to Your pious man, whom You tested at Massah and whom You tried at the waters of Meribah,
9 who said of his father and his mother, ‘I do not see him’; neither did he recognize his brothers, nor did he know his children, for they observed Your word and kept Your covenant.
10 They shall teach Your ordinances to Jacob, and Your Torah to Israel; they shall place incense before You, and burnt offerings upon Your altar.
11 May the Lord bless his army and favorably accept the work of his hands; strike the loins of those who rise up against him and his enemies, so that they will not recover.”
12 And of Benjamin he said, “The Lord’s beloved one shall dwell securely beside Him; He protects him all day long, and He dwells between his shoulders.”
13 And of Joseph he said: “His land shall be blessed by the Lord, with the sweetness of the heavens with dew, and with the deep that lies below,
14 and with the sweetness of the produce of the sun, and with the sweetness of the moon’s yield,
15 and with the crops of early mountains, and with the sweetness of perennial hills,
16 and with the sweetness of the land and its fullness, and through the contentment of the One Who dwells in the thornbush. May it come upon Joseph’s head and upon the crown of the one separated from his brothers.
17 To his firstborn ox is [given] glory. His horns are the horns of a re’em. With them, he will gore peoples together [throughout all] the ends of the earth these are the myriads of Ephraim, and these are the thousands of Manasseh.”
18 And to Zebulun he said: “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your departure, and Issachar, in your tents.
19 They will call peoples to the mountain; there, they will offer up righteous sacrifices. For they will be nourished by the abundance of the seas, and by the treasures hidden in the sand.”
20 And of Gad he said: “Blessed is He Who grants expanse to Gad; he dwells like a lion, tearing the arm [of his prey, together] with the head.
21 He saw the first portion for himself, because there, the portion of the lawgiver is hidden. And he came at the head of the people; he did what is righteous for the Lord, and what is lawful with Israel.”
22 And of Dan he said: “Dan is a young lion, streaming from Bashan.”
23 And of Naftali he said, “Naftali is favorably satisfied and full of the Lord’s blessing. Possess the Sea and the south.”
24 And of Asher he said: “May Asher be blessed with sons. He will be pleasing to his brothers, and immerse his foot in oil.
25 Your locks are iron and copper, and the days of your old age will be like the days of your youth.
26 Jeshurun, there is none like God; He Who rides the heavens is at your assistance, and with His majesty, [He rides] the skies,
27 which are the abode for the God Who precedes all, and below, are the mighty ones of the world. He expelled the enemy from before you, and said, ‘Destroy!’
28 And Israel dwelled safely and alone as Jacob [blessed them], in a land of grain and wine; also, their heavens will drip dew.
29 Fortunate are you, O Israel! Who is like you, O people whose salvation is through the Lord, the Shield Who helps you, your majestic Sword! Your enemies will lie to you, but you will tread upon their heights.”

TORAH
(Law)
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.
