Torah (JPSA) 05: Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy, the fifth book of the Torah, is a key text in Jewish tradition, traditionally attributed to Moses. Written in the 6th century BCE, it serves as a restatement of the laws given in the earlier books of the Pentateuch, organized into weekly sections known as parshah. This book emphasizes the importance of following God's commandments and reflects on the Israelites' journey and covenant with God. It is essential for annual study and is foundational to Jewish religious practice.
