hebrew greek interlinear bible deut chapter 8

According to Deuteronomy 4:45-49, however, this “here” extends farther south than we might imagine if we don’t look at a map. “Here” according to Deuteronomy 1:1 is the “plains of Moab,” across the Jordan from Jericho. Our text is about two-thirds of the way through the preamble to that major code, still in the part of the larger text where Moses is reminding his audience of all they went through to get here. That Deuteronomic law code (specifically Deuteronomy 11:31-28:69) is one of the four major bodies of legal material in the Torah.

Overall, it’s a “re-citation” of the instructions given to Israel at Sinai, with some variation. Here are my notes on that text:īACKGROUND AND CONTEXT: We’ve moved to the book of Deuteronomy – depending on how we want to think of it, the last book in the Torah, or the first book in the Deuteronomistic history. As I read it, this all this arises from Deuteronomy 8:1-11, the text we’re studying for Sunday, March 27. Given our ongoing focus on the theme of freedom, we’ll probably notice that it has implications for that theme, too. No doubt that fact has implications for us in terms of gratitude. We’ll be reminded, in light of the history of ancient Israel in the wilderness, that all of us depend entirely on God.
