God commanded the tribes to give forty-eight cities to the Levites, plus an additional six cities that would be cities of refuge, providing a safe place for anyone who was guilty of killing another person without intent. The many cities provided to the Levites were given from the cities inherited by each tribe. Each tribe gave proportionately according to the size of its inheritance. God gave instructions for determining if someone was guilty of killing with intent, and the resulting punishments. God instructed Israel on marriage and the transfer of inheritances. His instructions were followed by His people.

Moses continued to remind the children of the adult generation that left Egypt to obey the commands of God and remember His provisions. Israel was to continue to observe Passover, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Booths. Justice should be followed, and worship should remain pure and undefiled. Idols were not to be worshiped by God’s people.

Moses charged Israel to obey God and remember the great things He did in Egypt and on their journey to the promised land. Moses described the promised land as a good land that would provide for the needs of Israel. He charged them to share the goodness of God with their children at all times and to teach them to hold fast to God’s Law, and they would be blessed. If they chose to turn from God, they would be cursed. Israel was instructed to seek the place to worship God once they possessed the land. They were to destroy the idols and altars built by their enemies for the worship of their gods. Israel was commanded to worship God alone, according to God’s instructions alone.
