Guiding Questions: Deuteronomy 10

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. Is the ark described in Deuteronomy 10:1-3 the same as the ark in the Mishkan?
  2. Who is the inscriber of the tablets according to Deuteronomy 10:4?
  3. Why is the death of Aaron described so briefly (Deuteronomy 10:6)?
  4. When, in this passage (Deuteronomy 10:8), were the Levites selected to serve God and to bless the people—and for what period of time does the selection obtain?
  5. What is the mandate to the Israelites (Deuteronomy 10:12) and what are its three characteristics?
  6. Does Deuteronomy 10:14 read as a statement of monotheism?
  7. How does one “circumcise the foreskin of the heart”; what does this poetic refrain imply? (Deuteronomy 10:16)
  8. In the description of God (Deuteronomy 10:17-18), is the theme justice? love? care for the deprived? all three?
