Deuteronomy 1-4

According to the Open Bible, the Hebrew title for Deuteronomy is Haddebharim, The Words, taken from the opening phrase in 1:1, "These are the words..." The parting words of Moses to the new generation are given in oral and written form so that they will endure to all generations. Deuteronomy has been called "five-fifths of the Law" since it completese the five books of Moses. The Jewish people have also called it Mishneh Hattorah, "repetition of the Law," which is translated in the Septuagint (ancient Greek translation of the Jewish Scriptures/OT) as To Deuteronomion Touto, meaning This Second Law." Deuteronomy, however, is not a second law but an adaptation and expansion of much of th eoriginal law given on Mount Sinai. The English title comes form the Greek title Deuteronomion or Second Law. Deuteronomy has also been appropriately called the Book of Remembrance.
