Deuteronomy is the last
book about Moses. It is in the Old Testament part of the Bible.
The Book of Deuteronomy
contains the instructions that Moses gave to the people, just before his death.
He reminded them about the things that happened in the desert. He taught them
God's law. He encouraged them to obey God. Then, God would help them; and good
things would happen. But if they did not obey God, they would suffer
(Deuteronomy 28).
Moses was the greatest
prophet (holy man) in the Old Testament. But God did not allow Moses to lead
the people into Israel.
Moses appointed Joshua to lead the people after Moses' death.
