References to Deuteronomy in the New Testament, quoted by Jesus Christ in His conflict with Satan. Deut. 6:13, 16; 8:3; 10:20. Cp. Matt. 4:4, 7, 10. The following important passages are referred to :--
Any variations in the laws, as compared with those given nearly forty
years before, are explained (1) either by reference to different events
(cp. 1:13, 18 with Ex. 18 and Num. 11); (2) or, repeated with a different
object, and from a different point of view (cp. 1:22 with Num. 13:1-3);
(3) or, because wilderness laws were not suitable for the Land (cp. 12:15
with Lev. 17:3, 4); (4) or, modified for the same reason (cp. 1, 12 and
16 with Lev. 23 and Num. 28 and 29). Other variations are complementary
(1:45; 3:4; 25:17, 18).
