What is the book of Deuteronomy about?

The book of Deuteronomy contains 34 chapters, starting with Moses recalling the trip the Israelites took from Egypt to their homeland in Moab, east of the Jordan River, which is now called Israel.

This book is important--aren't they all though?--because Moses also introduces the Ten Commandments, emphasizing the first one: worshipping the One and Only God, and not worshipping any false gods.

The final chapter deals with the death of Moses, ending a reign that started back in the book of Exodus.
