The book also contains speeches by Moses urging fidelity to God, the prohibition of idolatry, and the necessity of teaching God's laws to future generations. Ceremonies and rituals are established to remember God's faithfulness and renew the people's commitment to Him.
Deuteronomy concludes with the death of Moses and the transition of leadership to Joshua, who will lead Israel in the conquest of the promised land. The book emphasizes the importance of obedience to God as the key to the blessing and prosperity of the people.
