Deuteronomy 4

Moses now moves from reviewing history to urging Israel to obey the LORD in the land. He commands the people not to add to or diminish God’s word, reminds them of the danger of idolatry, warns that covenant rebellion can lead to scattering, and emphasizes that the LORD alone is God. The chapter closes by naming three cities of refuge east of Jordan and formally introducing the law Moses will expound.
