Numbers/Deuteronomy

Honestly, Numbers was really boring and I didn't get much out of it.

The main theme of Deuteronomy seems to be about remembering. The first part of the book is a recap of the main events in Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers. Then it moves to a retelling of the law and ends with blessings and curses as well as Moses' death.
His death symbolizes a turning point in the history of Israel. I think of the Veggietales video Josh and the Big Wall at the beginning where they're singing about the promised land. It's a new day. A blank slate in some ways. As long as they never forget their past or their God.
