Study 1 From The Book of
Deuteronomy is: Deuteronomy 1
1.
The burden of this chapter is the people’s sin
in refusing to go forward to the promised land.
How is the sin described (see verses 26, 27, 32) and what made the guilt
of it greater (see Note on verses 9-18; also verses 31-33)?
2.
What solemn lesson is taught in
verses 40 -45? Cf. Is. 59:1, 2; Je. 11:14; Heb. 12:17.
3.
What does this chapter teach us
about the importance of knowing history, especially Bible history? Cf. Pss,
78:1-8; 44:1-8; 1 Cor. 10:6-13; Rom. 15:4.
Note. Verses 9-18.
These verses seem to be introduced to show that the people were both
numerous and well organized when they reached Kadesh, and therefore fully ready
to enter the land if their eyes had been upon the Lord.
