In Deuteronomy chapter 4 summary, Moses continued cautioning the children of Israel to obey the Lord. Moses told the Israelites to listen to all that he has taught them from the mouth of God; this way they will live and possess the land.

Moses warned them not to add to the word nor take away from it. The children of Israel were simply to keep God’s ways because it was there wisdom and understanding in the sight of the nations of the world.

When the nations would hear about Israel, they would say, certainly the children of Israel are a wise and understanding people. Moses urged Israel to diligently keep God’s Word and to teach it to their sons and daughters.

Deuteronomy Chapter 4 Summary

This is especially so because they heard God come down on Mount Horeb as the mountain burned with fire and they saw the Lord speak out of the midst of the fire. They heard the voice, but they did not see God’s form and they witnessed God declare His covenant with them, which is the Ten Commandments.

They did not see anything beyond that so Moses instructed them never to draw, depict, or make anything like a graven image to represent God. Moses was adamant to remind them not to forget the covenant of the Lord their God.

The great prophet of the Lord warned that God is a consuming fire and a jealous God. In this, Moses called heaven and earth to witness against them that they will perish out of the land once they corrupt themselves. Once corrupted, they will become destroyed and scattered among the nations.

There is None Besides Yah, the Lord!

However, the Lord will eventually seek them in the nations they were scattered in once they sought the Lord with all their heart. Moses asked the children of Israel to consider some things; for instance, has there ever been a time where people have recorded that God spoke to them out of the fire and they heard and they lived?

This has never happened Moses told the children of Israel. The only time has been with the children of Israel so they may know that the Lord is God and that there is none besides Yah.

God loved the children of Israel’s ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and God chose their seed after them to become a great and powerful nation. The Lord chose them to subdue other nations if they kept His statutes and His commandments.

Keeping God’s ways was how things would go well with them and would also prolong their days on the earth. This was the law that Moses set before them, and this was a very long reading; Deuteronomy chapter 4 summary.
