DEUTERONOMY 4. 'Moses commands obedience'. 'Now,O Israel, listen to the statutes and the judgements that I teach you to observe,that you may live and go in to possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers is giving you' (Deuteronomy 4:1) I identify with the sadness 'brinny' feels about Moses being forbidden to enter the Promised Land. This was for disobedience when he stuck the rock twice when God was to provide water. God obviously knows best and we have to trust His wisdom. Moses. tells the people,'You shall not add to the word which I command you nor take from it that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you'. He tells them to beware of idolatry. Moses establishes Cities of refuge East of the Jordan and introduces God's law.
