In the third section of the Book of Deuteronomy, Moses continues his second farewell address to the Jewish people. He exhorts them to observe even what appear to be minor commandments, which a person would be likely to figuratively trample with his heel (Eikev, in Hebrew). He then continues his review of the events of the Jewish people’s 40-year trek in the desert, emphasizing the lessons they were to learn from them.
