Deuteronomy

Chris McCann

Deuteronomy, the fifth book of the Old Testament, literally means "second law" or "repetition of the law" in Greek.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Greek Origin:

The name "Deuteronomy" comes from the Greek word "deuteronomion," which is a combination of "deuteros" (second) and "nomos" (law).

You might be wondering why the Hebrew book of Deuteronomy is given a name after the Greek? Apparently it is derived from the Septuagint's Greek title for the book.
