“Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.”
Behold, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that you should do so in the land whither you go to possess it -- Moses positions himself as a faithful transmitter of divine law. The law he teaches is not his own invention but what the LORD commanded him. The law is for application in Canaan: obedience in the promised land is the goal.
