What Time Is It?
• Where Are We?

Bible Overview, by Rose
Publishing, page 2

The Name Deuteronomy
• NAU Deuteronomy 17:18 "Now it shall come about
when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he shall
write for himself a copy of this law on a scroll in the
presence of the Levitical priests.
• The English name for the book comes from the Greek
and Latin, and the title in the LXX is in the Greek also.
• δευτερονόμιον noun accusative neuter singular
common
• [LXX Suppl] δευτερονόμιον, ου, τό; second or
repeated law, also Deuteronomy, title in the LXX for
the last book of the Pentateuch. 7

The Name Deuteronomy
• NAU Deuteronomy 17:18 …a copy of this law..
• Don’t be confused by the name and think that this book is all about
the law. No other Old Testament book, except the Psalms, uses the
word love as much as Deuteronomy. When you consider that the
Psalms I have 150 chapters Deuteronomy only has 34, you might
better call this “The Love Book”.
• NAU Deuteronomy 7:7 "The LORD did not set His love on you nor
choose you because you were more in number than any of the
peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples, 8 but because the
LORD loved you and kept the oath which He swore to your
forefathers…
• NAU Deuteronomy 23:5…a blessing for you because the LORD your
God loves you.
• NAU Deuteronomy 4:37 "Because He loved your fathers… 8

Deuteronomy 1:17
No Partiality With God
• NAU Deuteronomy 1:17 'You shall not show partiality in judgment;
you shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not fear man,
for the judgment is God's. The case that is too hard for you, you
shall bring to me, and I will hear it.’
• God clearly wants, fair justice for all. We must be fair, impartial, and
just if every human being.
• NAU Deuteronomy 10:17 "For the LORD your God…does not show
partiality nor take a bribe.
• NAU Job 13:10 "He will surely reprove you If you secretly show
partiality.
• NAU James 2:9 But if you show partiality, you are committing sin
and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
• What law?
• Romans 2:11 Malachi 3:5 1 Timothy 5:18 Ephesians 6:9 Job 13:10

Intro-Deuteronomy
Paul E. Steele
• “Paul E. Steele was senior pastor of the 'Valley Church'
Cupertino, CA. Paul preached there from 1971-1991. Paul
went home to be with the Lord in ’91.”

The 2nd. Law of Moses
• NAU Deuteronomy 29:1 These are the words of the
covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to
make with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab,
besides the covenant which He had made with them
at Horeb.
• Many commentators object to the English name,
Deuteronomy, and say that it is not a second law but
a retelling of the same law. But that's not what God
said.
• Most say that this was very probably delivered as
three sermons, but some estimate up to 10 sermons
from it.

DOCUMENTARY HYPOTHESIS, J.E.D.P.
 For Genesis, therefore, there were by
now three alleged documentary
sources which had been used in the
process of compilation: a Yahwistic (J)
source, an Elohistic (E) document, and
a postexilic Priestly (P) source, the
latter formerly thought to have been
part of the Grundschrift.

Hebrews 11, Acts 7, Nehemiah 9:9-25
• Nehemiah 9:9 "You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, And heard their cry by the Red Sea. 10 "Then Thou didst perform signs and
wonders against Pharaoh, Against all his servants and all the people of his land; For Thou didst know that they acted arrogantly toward them,
And didst make a name for Thyself as it is this day.
• 11 "And Thou didst divide the sea before them, So they passed through the midst of the sea on dry ground; And their pursuers Thou didst hurl
into the depths, Like a stone into raging waters.
• 12 "And with a pillar of cloud Thou didst lead them by day, And with a pillar of fire by night To light for them the way In which they were to go.
• 13 "Then Thou didst come down on Mount Sinai, And didst speak with them from heaven; Thou didst give to them just ordinances and true
laws, Good statutes and commandments.
• 14 "So Thou didst make known to them Thy holy sabbath, And didst lay down for them commandments, statutes, and law, Through Thy
servant Moses.
• 15 "Thou didst provide bread from heaven for them for their hunger, Thou didst bring forth water from a rock for them for their thirst, And
Thou didst tell them to enter in order to possess The land which Thou didst swear to give them.
• 16 "But they, our fathers, acted arrogantly; They became stubborn and would not listen to Thy commandments.
• 17 "And they refused to listen, And did not remember Thy wondrous deeds which Thou hadst performed among them; So they became
stubborn and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But Thou art a God of forgiveness, Gracious and compassionate, Slow to
anger, and abounding in lovingkindness; And Thou didst not forsake them.
• 18 "Even when they made for themselves A calf of molten metal And said, 'This is your God Who brought you up from Egypt,' And committed
great blasphemies,
• 19 Thou, in Thy great compassion, Didst not forsake them in the wilderness; The pillar of cloud did not leave them by day, To guide them on
their way, Nor the pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go.
• 20 "And Thou didst give Thy good Spirit to instruct them, Thy manna Thou didst not withhold from their mouth, And Thou didst give them
water for their thirst.
• 21 "Indeed, forty years Thou didst provide for them in the wilderness and they were not in want; Their clothes did not wear out, nor did their
feet swell.
• 22 "Thou didst also give them kingdoms and peoples, And Thou didst allot them to them as a boundary. And they took possession of the land
of Sihon the king of Heshbon, And the land of Og the king of Bashan.
• 23 "And Thou didst make their sons numerous as the stars of heaven, And Thou didst bring them into the land Which Thou hadst told their
fathers to enter and possess.
• 24 "So their sons entered and possessed the land. And Thou didst subdue before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, And Thou
didst give them into their hand, with their kings, and the peoples of the land, To do with them as they desired.
• 25 "And they captured fortified cities and a fertile land. They took possession of houses full of every good thing, Hewn cisterns, vineyards, olive
groves, Fruit trees in abundance. So they ate, were filled, and grew fat, And reveled in Thy great goodness.

Psalm 105:27,
The Bible Confirms The Exodus
• Psalm 105:27 They performed His wondrous acts among them, And
miracles in the land of Ham. 28 He sent darkness and made it dark;
And they did not rebel against His words. 29 He turned their waters
into blood And caused their fish to die. 30 Their land swarmed with
frogs Even in the chambers of their kings. 31 He spoke, and there
came a swarm of flies And gnats in all their territory. 32 He gave them
hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land. 33 He struck down their
vines also and their fig trees, And shattered the trees of their
territory. 34 He spoke, and locusts came, And young locusts, even
without number, 35 And ate up all vegetation in their land, And ate
up the fruit of their ground. 36 He also struck down all the firstborn in
their land, The first fruits of all their vigor. 37 Then He brought them
out with silver and gold, And among His tribes there was not one
who stumbled. 38 Egypt was glad when they departed, For the dread
of them had fallen upon them.

Acts 7:42,
• NAU Acts 7:42 "But God turned away and delivered them up to
serve the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the
prophets, 'It was not to Me that you offered victims and
sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, was it, O house of
Israel?
• 43 'You also took along the tabernacle of Moloch and the star
of the god Rompha, the images which you made to worship
them. I also will remove you beyond Babylon.'
• 44 "Our fathers had the tabernacle of testimony in the
wilderness, just as He who spoke to Moses directed him to
make it according to the pattern which he had seen.
• 45 "And having received it in their turn, our fathers brought it
in with Joshua upon dispossessing the nations whom God
drove out before our fathers, until the time of David.

Hebrews 11:23,
• Hebrews 11:23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden
for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a
beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's edict. 24 By
faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the
son of Pharaoh's daughter; 25 choosing rather to endure ill-
treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the passing
pleasures of sin; 26 considering the reproach of Christ greater
riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the
reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the
king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen. 28 By faith he
kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that he
who destroyed the first-born might not touch them. 29 By faith
they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing
through dry land; and the Egyptians, when they attempted it,
were drowned.

Amorites to destroy
us.

AUTHORSHIP OF GENESIS
 Has created a lot of controversy.

 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 The documentary hypothesis, (DH) (sometimes called the Wellhausen
hypothesis), holds that the Torah (the Five Books of Moses) was derived
from originally independent, parallel and complete narratives, which were
subsequently combined into the current form by a series of redactors
(editors). The number of these is usually set at four, but this is not an
essential part of the hypothesis.
 The hypothesis was developed in the 18th and 19th centuries from the
attempt to reconcile inconsistencies in the biblical text. Biblical scholars, using
source criticism, eventually arrived at the theory that the Torah was composed
of selections woven together from separate, at times inconsistent, sources,
each originally a complete and independent document. By the end of the 19th
century it was generally agreed that there were four main sources, combined
into their final form by a series of redactors, R. These four sources came to
be known as the Yahwist, or Jahwist, J (J being the German equivalent of the
English letter Y); the Elohist, E; the Deuteronomist, D, (the name comes
from the Book of Deuteronomy, D's contribution to the Torah); and the
Priestly Writer, P.[1]

 Julius Wellhausen's contribution was to order these sources chronologically
as JEDP, giving them a coherent setting in the evolving religious history of
Israel, which he saw as one of ever-increasing priestly power. Wellhausen's
formulation was:
 the Yahwist source ( J ) : written c. 950 BC in the southern Kingdom of Judah.
 the Elohist source ( E ) : written c. 850 BC in the northern Kingdom of Israel.
 the Deuteronomist ( D ) : written c. 600 BC in Jerusalem during a period of
religious reform.
 the Priestly source ( P ) : written c. 500 BC by Kohanim (Jewish priests) in
exile in Babylon.
 While the hypothesis has been increasingly challenged by other models in the
last part of the 20th century, its terminology and insights continue to provide
the framework for modern theories on the origins of the Torah.[2]….

DOCUMENTARY HYPOTHESIS, J.E.D.P.
 Critical View. Critics partition the book of Genesis and view it
as composed of composite sources pieced together by a late
exilic or postexilic editor. J, the Jehovist, possibly wrote about
850 B.C., in the S (Judah), employing the name Jehovah. E,
the Elohist, is said to have used the name Elohim, writing
about 750 B.C., in the N (Ephraim). The narrative sections J
and E were allegedly fitted into the scriptural history of the
origin of the Jewish nation, called the Priestly Code (P), about
500 B.C. This documentary theory, which was subtly
developed, highly plausible, and universally popular, is a
highly traditional product of modern rationalistic skepticism
and is based on false literary criteria, unsound philosophic
presuppositions, and a manifest enmity against the
miraculous and the prophetic elements that constitute the
foundation of the Pentateuch. (See R. K. Harrison, Introduction to the Old Testament [1969], pp.
542-65.)

 Josh 1:7 Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you;
 Dan 9:11 the curses and sworn judgments written in the Law of Moses,
 Dan 9:13 it is written in the Law of Moses
 Deut 31:9 Moses wrote down this law and gave it to the priests
 Deut 31:22 Moses wrote down this song that day and taught it to the Israelites.
 Neh 8:1 the Book of the Law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded for Israel.
 Ezra 7:6 Ezra... He was a teacher well versed in the Law of Moses,
 Ex 17:14 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Write this on a scroll
 Ex 24:4 Moses then wrote down everything the Lord had said.
 Ex 34:27 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Write down these words,
 Num 33:2 At the Lord's command Moses recorded the stages in their journey

NO MATTER WHO WROTE IT
 It’s God’s Word!
 We hold to the verbal plenary divine inspiration of all
Scripture.
 Matthew 22:32 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of
Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of the
dead but of the living.“
 Galatians 3:16 The promises were spoken to Abraham
and to his seed. The Scripture does not say "and to
seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed,"
meaning one person, who is Christ.

NO MATTER WHO WROTE IT
 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is
useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training
in righteousness,
 Matthew 5:18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and
earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least
stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from
the Law until everything is accomplished.
