Three Main Address of Moses
These speeches challenged the new generation to obey the terms of the Sinai covenant and to follow the Lord wholeheartedly. They are a book of Remembering to look ahead.

4:41-26:19;28 - Deuteronomic code - Giving of the Law - New Laws. Blessings accompany obedience. Consequences follow disobedience. This is Looking up to God
4 שְׁמַ֖ע יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ יְהוָ֥ה׀ אֶחָֽד׃ 5 וְאָ֣הַבְתָּ֔ אֵ֖ת יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ בְּכָל־לְבָבְךָ֥ וּבְכָל־נַפְשְׁךָ֖ וּבְכָל־מְאֹדֶֽךָ׃
4 “Hear, Israel, Yahweh our God, Yahweh is unique. 5 And you shall love Yahweh your God with all of your heart and with all of your soul and with all of your might.

Moses relates his last blessing
Deuteronomy 33
Moses blesses each tribe of Israel - Similar to what Israel (Jacob) did on his death bed.
1 Then Moses went up from the desert plateau of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho, and Yahweh showed him all of the land, Gilead all the way up to Dan, 2 and all of Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh and all of the land of Judah, up to the western sea, 3 and the Negev and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palms, on up to Zoar. 4 And Yahweh said to him, “This is the land that I swore to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob, saying, ‘To your offspring I will give it.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross into it.” 5 Then Moses, the servant of Yahweh, died there in the land of Moab according to the command of Yahweh. 6 And he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth Peor. But until this day no one knows his burial site. 7 Now Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died; his sight was not impaired and his vigor had not abated. 8 And the Israelites wept concerning Moses thirty days; finally the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were completed. 9 Now Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom because Moses had placed his hands on him, and the Israelites listened to him, and they did as Yahweh had commanded Moses. 10 And not again has a prophet arisen in Israel like Moses, whom Yahweh knew face to face, 11 as far as all the signs and the wonders Yahweh sent him to do in the land of Egypt, against Pharaoh and all of his servants and against all of his land, 12 and as far as all of the mighty deeds and as far as the great awesome wonders Moses did before the eyes of all Israel.
