V-2 Voeschenan: SIT, WALK, LIE, STAND

Moses relates his plea with God to enter the Promised Land a second time. God calls Moses up Mt Pisgah to view the it from the distance. He is told to transfer leadership to Joshua. Moses continues his narrative of receiving Torah at Mt Sinai, repeating the Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5. Leading to the repetition of the Ten Commandments, Moses adjures the Children of Israel to follow God faithfully, to observe the commandments and teach them to their children throughout all generations. Voeschenan includes the passage of the Shema recited twice daily with repeated warnings against the consequences of idolatry and pagan practices. Although God can not be seen, He exists in their midst. Although just, He is merciful an compassionate toward those who seek Him in distress. Moses sets aside three cities of refuge on the east side of the Jordan for anyone accused of accidental manslaughter. Emphasis is placed on the willingness to serve God with all the heart and to persevere in following His commandments: true repentance brings redemption. Moses prepares the people for entry into the Promised Land and for their continued spiritual journey without him.
