This is John at the Bible Project. In this week's episode of the podcast, we're going to

release another live question response we did on YouTube last summer. This time, we're

talking about the Book of Deuteronomy. Deuteronomy is a great book. It's a speech by Moses. It's

his last words to ancient Israel as they prepare to enter the promised land. We cover a lot

of great questions, including a discussion on the Shema, a prayer found in the Book of Deuteronomy.

We address the question, why did God allow ancient Israel to have slaves? And what's the deal with

the Bible talking about giants that lived in the land? Were there actually giants back then?

Thanks for joining us. Here we go.

The words. That's a great name. Yep. The words. If we have a bit of a word, it's called Vajakra and he called out.

It's the first word of the book and he called out. And God called out to Moses. Anyway. Deuteronomy or the words

otherwise known as. So let's just do like an overview of Deuteronomy. Deuteronomy. Crown jewel of the Torah

alongside Genesis and Exodus and Leviticus and Numbers. Which is the Torah is the crown jewel. Let's talk about the Torah in general.

So the first five books. This is the last of this five. We call it the Torah. You also hear the word Pentateuch a lot, which is the Greek.

Yeah, Pentateuch is a Greek name. Pentateuch means five, Tukas means scroll. And again, that Greek title, earliest we can trace it back
