Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 12:1-28

12:1-26:19 DETAILED REGULATIONSIn keeping with the pattern of ancient covenant documents, the basic requirements and principles of the covenant (Chapters 5-11) are now followed by the detailed regulations (Chapters 12-26).

It consists of a code of laws, and constitutes the nucleus of the whole book: see on Deuteronomy 4:44-49.
