What's Going on in the Book of Deuteronomy?

The book of deuteronomy is modelled after suzeran vassal treaties in the ancient near east. It fits a lot better with books that would have been written, you know, like in 14 hundred b c, than it does with books thatwould have been written as the unbelieving. This whole book is basically a speech from moses, or three speeches from m Moses to penting on how you look at it. These are his final words to them. And i think as we're reading this book and going throug this book, keeping that in the back of your mind makes almost every scene, almost every paragraph, all that more poignant.
