The Setting

The Book of Deuteronomy

Septuagint (Greek) – “the Second Law”– Mistranslation from the Hebrew– Hebrew – the “copy of the Law”

3. Stay Hungry Deut 619, 71-2

Why Is This Class So Important?

Understand the blessings of God’s waysGain deep conviction about following them

Prov 14:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

We don’t always understand the reasons but God DOES know what is best for us!
