26
Take the first of your harvest to offer to God. Declare your loyalty to God and purity before the priest.
Ask God's blessing, for you are His chosen people.
Give Jesus your first and your all. Remove anything in your life that opposes Him.
27-28
Carve this law into a rock you set up on a mountain in the promised land.
Pronounce curses for disobeying this law, and have the people agree with an "Amen."
Blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. The threatened curses are four times as long as the promised blessings!
Jesus is the end goal of the law. There are pleasures forever more at God's right hand, where He is (Psalm 16:10). But the wrath of the Lamb is also real.
29
After 40 years, I (God) am making a covenant with you (Israel). Not with your fathers, but with you, and your children who aren't even here yet. God will remove and exile you from the land if you disobey.
Jesus takes us and our children as His people, but will come in judgment against those who reject Him.
30 - Love God and choose life
Jesus is the way, truth, and LIFE.
31
Read the law out loud to all Israel every 7 years at the Feast of Booths
Joshua will succeed Moses as Israel's leader.
Before you die, Moses, teach Israel this song, which will testify against them when they disobey Me in the future.
Jesus' name is virtually the same as Joshua, in Hebrew. He is the greater Moses, as Hebrews describes.
