Deuteronomy

Note that every book in its own pdf is available from this post. There are poetic chapters of Deuteronomy, 32 and 33, but the tenor is still the same. The tenor of the final chapter is e -- almost as if the constant dominant tenor on B is reaching a final close.

These posts will tell you just how much analysis has to be done to characterize this music and the explicit structure it suggests in every chapter.

in the wilderness, in the steppe, in the forefront of Suf, between Paran and Tophel and Laban and Hazerot and Di Zahab.

71046402.2 4.11 19.22 10.42 14.53 10.71 23.90 14.91When Yahweh your God will conduct you to the land that you are going toward to possess it,
and has cleared out many nations from your presence, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven abundant nations, and more numerous than you.
8740211.49 3.51 21.89 12.57 15.41 10.54 23.24 11.35All the commandment that I am commanding you today you will keep watch to do,

And they will justify the righteous one and will condemn the wicked one.
26837214.3 5.38 20.07 9.32 13.50 11.95 24.97 10.51And it will be that when you come to the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you as inheritance,
and you possess it and you inhabit it.

282451291.39 3.26 18.16 13.30 15.18 10.98 25.38 12.36And it will happen that if to hear, you hear with the voice of Yahweh your God to keep and to do all his commandments that I am commanding you today,
then Yahweh your God will give you the highest status over all the nations of the earth.

You yourselves have seen all that Yahweh has done in your sight in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land,
30864222.66 6.71 14.47 12.27 13.77 12.04 26.62 11.46And it will be that when all these words come over you, the blessing and the denial, that I gave before you,
that you will turn to your heart among all the nations toward whom Yahweh your God had banished you,
311286271.01 3.50 15.86 10.96 13.06 9.10 33.98 12.52And Moses went,
and spoke these words to all Israel.
