Yesterday we heard the conclusion of Numbers, with more about how each clan's allotment of land must stay within that clan even when inherited by daughters.

HC. Mears: “Deuteronomy is a book of remembrance. The name 'Deuteronomy' means “second law,” which indicates that the law is repeated. Moses did this to remind the people what God had done for them and what they were to do to serve Him when they reached the Promised Land. It omits the things that relate to the priests and Levites but includes the things that the people should know. And the happenings in this book would cover only about two months, including the 30 days of mourning for Moses.”
I love this book because it seems to be a transcription of Moses' last sermons to the people. Imagine sitting at the feet of the aged and revered leader and hearing him tell what is most important! I love the way this book frequently records Moses speaking in the first person.

This psalm shares important wisdom which should help us be content with whatever is our situation in this life. Note the parallels with Jesus' teaching.

Today we hear the conclusion of Stephen's speech. He confronted the high council with the indisputable fact that the people of Israel had always refused to follow what God told them and killed the prophets. “They (our ancestors) even killed the ones who predicted the coming of the Righteous One—the Messiah whom you betrayed and murdered.“ Stephen dies as Saul watches.
