The Israelites were a people with words from God. Through Moses, as well as through later prophets, they received and preserved revelation from the living God. The commandments in Exodus and Leviticus, for instance, were made known to them. And when Moses preached the sermons of Deuteronomy to the Israelites, the people did not have to go in search of those words. Rather, the word of God had drawn near to them. And in the New Testament, God’s drawing near would be even greater still.
