The Word Moses Loved Most
Learn Biblical Hebrew with us

One Day at a Time
The word “today” appears 59 times in Deuteronomy – far more than in any other biblical book. In some cases, Moses uses “today” to mean “in our time,” but mostly, “today” is used to mean “right now.” The original Hebrew word for “today” spoken by Moses is ha-yom (הַיּוֹם), which literally means “the day.” Moses’ repetition of this word is meant to calm the people: take it one day at a time.
Seize This Very Day
Moses knew this speech was his last chance to persuade the people to live moral lives. The forty years in the wilderness had been difficult, but he did not want to focus on the sins of the past. Moses knew that the upcoming conquest of Canaan would be challenging, but he did not want to focus on the fear of the future. He wanted the people to focus only on the here and now.
