The word Deuteronomy (Greek:'Second Law') is from the Hebrew Mishneh hattorah ('Repetition of the Law') - a second law, or more correctly, a repetition and in some ways an enlargement of the Law given at Sinai 40 years before.
Points of interest through the book are keywords such as hear (50 times); do, keep, observe (177 times); and love (21 times)—which last is the basis for all the doing, keeping, and observing. We will also note that when Christ was tempted in the wilderness, he quoted in strengthening defense from this book alone. And we shall observe too that he draws the one greatest commandment of all —that which epitomizes all commandments — from this book.
