Deuteronomy 18 - 21

Speaking through Moses, God says that He will raise up a prophet from among the people of Israel, and it was this prophecy that Israel was looking to be fulfilled in the days of Jesus (John 1:21). In Acts 3 Peter tells the people that Jesus was this prophet Who they missed and rejected. Even today Israel is looking for this prophet, who they believe will be their messiah, as they do not believe He is God, but will be just a man like Moses.

God commands three cities of refuge be established in the land for men to flee who are accused of murder, but innocent of ill intent. Three also were commanded on the east side of the Jordan, which had already been given to Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh.

God commands the rules of war and plunder, but also making clear HIs expectations in how the Amorites, Canaanites, Perrizites, Hivites, and Jebusites are to be dealt with, who are sworn enemies of God.
