Parashat Devarim – Opening Questions

  • How do the different stories of Moshe's appointing of assistants (Shemot 18, Bemidbar 11, and Devarim 1?) relate to one another?
  • What is Moshe's agenda in recounting the story of the spies in the fortieth year? How might this account for some of the differences between the two accounts of the sin?
  • What messages did Moshe wish to impart through his retelling of the story of the conquest of Sichon and Og?
  • Did the two and a half tribes always plan on joining in the conquest, or was the suggestion to head the campaign only an attempt to appease Moshe's anger?
