The word means 'Second Law.' It is a recap of the writings in Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers for this new generation of Israelites.

The Nation of Israel was ready to enter into the Promised Land after their long, 40 year sojourn in the desert. This was Moses' last chance to prepare the children for their new life in the land of their inheritance, especially since Moses himself, would not be going with them. Moses emphatically wanted to make sure this generation fully understood the Covenant the nation made with God.

Moses dies on Mount Nebo and Joshua leds the Nation into the Promised Land.
