OUR STUDY nears the end of the life of Moses, as the prophet gives final instructions to Israel before turning them over to Joshua and sending them across the Jordan River into Canaan.

THE CONCEPT of holy war is developed in the passages we read today, where the Hebrew verb kharam is translated "devote to complete destruction". The concept relates to the coming war between Israel and enemies who served lesser gods.
