Deuteronomy

34 chapters · 959 verses · 26,804 words

Presented as Moses' farewell addresses. The legal core, roughly chapters 12-26, is commonly linked to Josiah's reform of 622 BCE, with earlier material inside it and exilic framing around it. It is placed here rather than with the other four books of the Torah because of that link; see the note in Section V.
