Final Words to Families Then and Now

If you knew that a person you admire was on his or her deathbed and wanted to speak to you, you would mark his or her words well. Such was the case with Moses, the redeemer of the ancient Hebrews. Standing on the edge of the Promised Land, Moses’s final series of messages were heard with rapt attention. Especially memorable were his warnings and directives for the families who would outlive him. Even today, Moses’s words are still relevant.
