Deuteronomy 18-34
Chapt. 18:1-26:19 – More Requirements
Ø Who was to care for the Priests and Levites? Application for us?
Ø There are “detestable practices” that heathens practice. What are some of these and why is God so opposed to them? Is God still against these practices and is there any application for us today?
Ø Why was there a need for cities of refuge and multiple witnesses? Do you see any correlations with our laws today?
Ø Why did God command the Israelites to completely destroy the inhabitants of the land? How can we apply that to the “inhabitants” in our land?
Ø Is there a contradiction between destroying everyone living and taking a captive woman as your wife? Explain.
Ø Notice the various requirements listed in 21:1 thru 25:19. Is there a general theme that runs through these requirements? What do these God given requirements teach us about the nature of God?

Ø What was the significance of Mt. Ebal? Application for us?
Ø Notice the exchange between the people facing each other on Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim. The curses are a result of actions against whom? Jesus put this passage in the positive in Matthew 22:37-40!

Ø How did Moses handle the transition? Application?
Ø What did Moses do with the people before he died?
Ø Spend some time reading and meditating on Moses’ Song. How does it speak to you?
