This final lesson from Deuteronomy features several prophecies about Jesus. We see Him foreshadowed in the unusual blessing given to Joseph’s tribe, in the details surrounding Moses’ death, and in the name of the man chosen to finish the mission (Joshua, or Jesus). Then the closing words point us back to one of the most
