X. ANALYSIS OF CONTENTS
The analysis presented here is intended to serve as a practical guide to the contents of Deuteronomy; it also serves to divide the text into relatively concise sections for the purposes of the commentary. For the unity and formal structure of the book, the reader should refer to section III (above). In the section containing specific legislation, the material has been treated chapter by chapter for the sake of convenience; as can be seen from the table prepared by G. Seitz (Redaktionsgeschichtliche Studien zum Deuteronomium, pp. 92f.), there is a wide variety of opinion regarding the inner structure of chs. 12–26.
