Deuteronomy

"Repetition of the law" ... Also, some condemnation against Israel for being so faithless during their journey in the wilderness. Some points of interest:

10:12, 13 - commandment to love and serve God with all of one's heart, along with
15:7, 8 - commandment to give to thy neighbor, with the specification to "open thine hand wide unto him", symbolic of the selfless attitude that must accompany the act. In essence what Christ commanded in the New Testament in Matt. 22:37-39, and in fact in verse 40 He points out that all of the Law and all of the prophets have been pointing to this all along.

15:15 - We have all at one point been helpless or weak, so there is no justification in taking advantage of such people.

18:6 - "come with all desire of mind unto the place which the Lord shall choose"

18:18-22 - counsel about prophets

Chapter 19 - refuge for someone who committed manslaughter. Shows that the intent is more important than the action.

32:2 - see D&C 121:45

34:9 - Moses gives Joshua authority to receive revelation from the Spirit specific to his calling
