Question 1

What is the basic literary structure of the book of Deuteronomy?

Accepted Answer

Three farewell addresses by Moses on the plains of Moab, followed by the Song of Moses and an account of his death

Answer

A collection of priestly regulations compiled after the Exile to preserve Israel's religious identity

Answer

A narrative of the wilderness journey retold from the perspective of the second generation

Question 2

Why does Deuteronomy begin with Moses reviewing the wilderness history rather than just restating the laws?

Accepted Answer

Because the new generation had not witnessed these events and needed to understand the basis of the covenant before accepting its obligations

Answer

Because Moses wanted to demonstrate his own faithfulness compared to the unfaithful generation that died

Answer

Because the laws could not be understood apart from the land — Moses needed to describe the journey to the land first

Answer

Because Deuteronomy was written centuries after the events and the history review was needed to authenticate the laws

Question 3

What does Deuteronomy 4:2 say about adding to or subtracting from the commands God gave?

Accepted Answer

Answer

'You may add to the commandments as wisdom develops, but you may never reduce them'

Answer

Question 5

What does Deuteronomy 6:6-9 command regarding how parents should pass faith to their children?

Accepted Answer

'These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road... tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses'

Answer

Bring children to the tabernacle three times a year for formal religious instruction

Answer

Question 6

What warning did Moses give Israel about prosperity in Canaan?

Accepted Answer

Answer

'When you grow wealthy, remember that wealth is a test — a man is known by how he uses what God gives him'

Answer

'The land will make you comfortable and comfort is the enemy of faithfulness — build no permanent houses for forty years after entering the land'

Answer

What does Moses say in Deuteronomy 8:3, and how does Jesus later use it?

Question 8

In Deuteronomy 9, Moses tells Israel why God is giving them the land. What reason does he give and what reason does he explicitly deny?

Accepted Answer

He says God is driving out the nations because of their wickedness — not because Israel is righteous or has a good heart ('you are a stiff-necked people')

Answer

He gives their military skill as the reason and denies it was God's power that won the battles

Answer

Accepted Answer

'He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing. And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt'

Answer

God blesses those who keep the law and judges those who don't — Israel must be a model of law-keeping for the nations

Answer

'God does not show partiality in judgment — all nations will stand before him equally, Israelite and foreigner alike'

Answer

'God protects those who call on his name — any foreigner who converts to Israel's faith receives all the same protections as a native Israelite'

Question 11

What is the principle of the centralized sanctuary in Deuteronomy 12, and why was it commanded?

Accepted Answer

All worship must take place at the single sanctuary God would choose — to prevent the multiplication of shrines and the infiltration of Canaanite worship practices

Answer

Worship must occur at least three times per year at the central sanctuary — local worship was permitted for daily prayers

Answer

The tabernacle must be set up at the geographical centre of Canaan — so no tribe would have to travel further than any other

Answer

Only the priests could worship at the central sanctuary — laypeople worshipped at home through prayer and reading the law

Question 12

How does Deuteronomy describe the test for a prophet, according to chapters 13 and 18?

Accepted Answer

A prophet speaking in God's name whose prediction does not come true is false; any prophet urging worship of other gods must be rejected even if signs occur

Answer

A true prophet's words always come true within his lifetime — any unfulfilled prophecy proves the prophet is false

Answer

True prophets are confirmed by two or more other prophets — a lone prophet's claim cannot be verified

Answer

A true prophet must come from the tribe of Levi and be trained at the central sanctuary — unauthorised prophets are always false

Question 13

What does Deuteronomy 14 teach about the tithe, and how was it to be used?

Accepted Answer

Each year a tithe of produce was to be eaten before the LORD at the central sanctuary; every third year it was stored locally for Levites, foreigners, orphans and widows

Answer

Ten percent of all income was to be given to the Levites — they in turn gave a tenth of their tithe to the high priest

Answer

The tithe was deposited in a central treasury administered by the priests for the maintenance of the tabernacle/temple

Answer

The tithe was a freewill offering — ten percent was the recommended amount but God accepted whatever the heart moved one to give

Question 14

What does Deuteronomy 15 say about releasing debts and slaves, and what famous statement does Moses make about poverty?

Accepted Answer

'There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be open-handed toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy'

Answer

'There will never be poverty in the land if you obey God's commands — debt release is a reward for faithfulness'

Answer

'Release your slaves every seven years and forgive all debts — then there will be no one in need among you'

Answer

'The poor are blessed because God loves the humble — giving to them earns credit before God in heaven'

Question 15

What were the three annual pilgrimage festivals when all Israelite men were to appear before the LORD?

Accepted Answer

Passover/Unleavened Bread, Feast of Weeks (Pentecost/Shavuot), and Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot)

Answer

Passover, Day of Atonement and Tabernacles

Answer

New Year, First Fruits and Harvest

Answer

Passover, New Moon and Sabbath Year

Question 16

What does Deuteronomy 17:14-20 say about the future king of Israel?

Accepted Answer

'When you enter the land... and you say Let us set a king over us like all the nations around us, be sure to appoint over you a king the LORD your God chooses.' The king must not accumulate horses, wives or gold, and must write his own copy of the law and read it all his life

Answer

Israel was forbidden from having a king — God alone was to be their king forever

Answer

Any king of Israel must be chosen by the Levites — only a priestly endorsement would make a king legitimate

Answer

The king's primary duty was military — he must maintain Israel's army and never allow foreign armies to enter the land

Question 17

What Christological prophecy appears in Deuteronomy 18:15-18?

Accepted Answer

'The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your fellow Israelites. You must listen to him'

Answer

'I will send my suffering servant who will be despised and rejected; by his wounds you will be healed'

Answer

'A king from the line of David will rule forever — his kingdom will have no end'

Answer

'Out of Egypt I have called my son — he will be my prophet, priest and king'

Question 18

What was the Year of Release (Shemittah) commanded in Deuteronomy 15, and what attitude should accompany it?

Accepted Answer

Every seventh year all debts between Israelites were cancelled — 'Be careful not to harbour a wicked thought: The seventh year, the year for cancelling debts, is near, and show ill will toward the needy and give them nothing'

Answer

Every fiftieth year debts were cancelled and slaves freed — greed was to be replaced by generosity toward the poor

Answer

Every third year debts were reduced by half — God's mercy was to inspire human mercy

Answer

Every seven years Israelites were released from military service — a year of domestic peace and rest from national duty

Question 19

What does Moses say is the fundamental choice between in Deuteronomy 11:26-28?

Accepted Answer

'See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse — the blessing if you obey the commands of the LORD your God... the curse if you disobey the commands of the LORD your God'

Answer

The choice between wisdom and foolishness — keeping God's law is wisdom, ignoring it is foolishness

Answer

The choice between life in the land and exile — obedience brings rest, disobedience brings wandering

Answer

The choice between God and the gods of Canaan — once settled, Israel will face this choice every day

Question 20

What does Deuteronomy 4:7-8 say is unique about Israel's relationship with God compared to other nations?

Accepted Answer

'What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the LORD our God is near us whenever we pray to him? And what other nation is so great as to have such righteous decrees and laws as this body of laws I am setting before you today?'

Answer

Israel had the only true God — while other nations worshipped idols that were not real, Israel had the living God

Answer

'Israel is the only nation that received God's word directly — other nations knew God only through nature and reason'

Answer

'No other nation has seen the miracles Israel saw in Egypt and the wilderness — God revealed his power uniquely to Israel'
