Deuteronomy means "second law."
It is Moses reiterating to Israel, on the verge of entering the promised land, the history of their wilderness wanderings, and exhorting them to be faithful to Yahweh.
Chapter 1
a. God commands them to leave Sinai.
b. Judges are set up under Moses. (See Exodus 18)
c. They go spy out the land, refuse to enter, and are turned away. (See Numbers 13)
Jesus
a. God calls us to the glory of Christ, and this means in part, turning away from looking to the law (Sinai) to save you.
b. Jesus sets up shepherds and judges under Him in His church.
c. Jesus promises us great things, but we are often unwilling to sacrifice, deny ourselves, and do the needed faith/work to obtain those promises.
