Deuteronomy 12-26 is the covenant law code: the statutes and judgments that govern Israel's life in the land. The range is comprehensive: worship regulations, dietary laws, tithing, the Sabbatical and Jubilee years, the administration of justice, family law, property law, warfare, and the rights of the poor and vulnerable.
The opening prohibition of Deuteronomy 12 frames the whole section: do not do as we have been doing here today, every man doing what is right in his own eyes. The be-einav phrase, in his own eyes, is the diagnostic language for moral self-reference, the turning of the moral standard inward. Judges will use this exact phrase to explain the chaos of the pre-monarchy era: there was no king in Israel and every man did what was right in his own eyes. Moses names the danger before the nation has crossed the Jordan.
Thread 4 runs through the entire law code as its structural assumption: every regulation addresses genuine moral agents capable of compliance or violation. The conditional structures, if a man does this, then that; if you hear and obey, then these blessings; if you refuse, then these curses, all presuppose genuine human freedom.
Deuteronomy 18:15-19 is the prophet-like-Moses text that Stephen cites in Acts 7 and that Jesus fulfills: the LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you. Him you shall hear. Thread 5 is the dispensational hinge: the Mosaic administration that these chapters articulate will give way to the prophetic administrator Moses is pointing toward.

Deuteronomy 12-26 is the covenant law code: the statutes and judgments that govern Israel's life in the land. The range is comprehensive: worship regulations, dietary laws, tithing, the Sabbatical and Jubilee years, the administration of justice, family law, property law, warfare, and the rights of the poor and vulnerable.
The opening prohibition of Deuteronomy 12 frames the whole section: do not do as we have been doing here today, every man doing what is right in his own eyes. The be-einav phrase, in his own eyes, is the diagnostic language for moral self-reference, the turning of the moral standard inward. Judges will use this exact phrase to explain the chaos of the pre-monarchy era: there was no king in Israel and every man did what was right in his own eyes. Moses names the danger before the nation has crossed the Jordan.
Thread 4 runs through the entire law code as its structural assumption: every regulation addresses genuine moral agents capable of compliance or violation. The conditional structures, if a man does this, then that; if you hear and obey, then these blessings; if you refuse, then these curses, all presuppose genuine human freedom.

Judges will use this exact phrase to explain the chaos of the pre-monarchy era: there was no king in Israel and every man did what was right in his own eyes. Moses names the danger before the nation has crossed the Jordan.
Thread 4 runs through the entire law code as its structural assumption: every regulation addresses genuine moral agents capable of compliance or violation. The conditional structures, if a man does this, then that; if you hear and obey, then these blessings; if you refuse, then these curses, all presuppose genuine human freedom.
Deuteronomy 18:15-19 is the prophet-like-Moses text that Stephen cites in Acts 7 and that Jesus fulfills: the LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you. Him you shall hear. Thread 5 is the dispensational hinge: the Mosaic administration that these chapters articulate will give way to the prophetic administrator Moses is pointing toward.

The range is comprehensive: worship regulations, dietary laws, tithing, the Sabbatical and Jubilee years, the administration of justice, family law, property law, warfare, and the rights of the poor and vulnerable.
The opening prohibition of Deuteronomy 12 frames the whole section: do not do as we have been doing here today, every man doing what is right in his own eyes. The be-einav phrase, in his own eyes, is the diagnostic language for moral self-reference, the turning of the moral standard inward.
