Deuteronomy 16

Theme of chapter: Explanation and rules of the three main feasts at Jerusalem (passover, pentecost, and tabernacle)

Most important verse: Deuteronomy 16:5 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee: (the feasts were to be held in Jerusalem only)

Most prominent word: feast (festival)

Teaching about Christ: feast of pentecost was to celebrate the decension of the Holy Spirit unto the apostles after Jesus' ascension to heaven.

Command to obey: don't place anything between you and God. pray and confess your sins daily.

Promise to claim: the Lord keeps his promises through generations and forever.

New truth learned: all the men of Israel were required to attend these feasts.
