“And the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.”
And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that you might do them in the land whither you go over to possess it -- Moses' role as teacher is divinely mandated. The law is not Moses' addition but the LORD's command that Moses transmit. The telos is clear: obedience in the land. Deuteronomy is Moses' faithful discharge of this commission.
