- n. The second law, or second statement of the law: the name given to the fifth book of the Pentateuch, consisting chiefly of three addresses purporting to have been made by Moses to Israel shortly before his death. The Mosaic origin of the book is disputed by main modern critics, as is also the date of composition, which some regard as subsequent to Isaiah. Abbreviated Deut.

Etymologies
- From the name which the book bears in the Septuagint (Ancient Greek Δευτερονόμιον (Deuteronomion) and in the Vulgate Latin Deuteronomium). This is based upon the erroneous Septuagint rendering of משנה התורה הזאת (mishnah ha-torah ha-zot) (xvii. 18), which grammatically can mean only "a repetition [that is, a copy] of this law," but which is rendered by the Septuagint τὸ Δευτερουόμιου τοῦτο, as though the expression meant "this repetition of the law." (Wiktionary)
- Late Latin deuteronomium, from Greek deuteronomion, a second law (from (to) deuteronomion (touto), Septuagint mistranslation of Hebrew mišnê hattôrâ hazzō't, a copy of this law) : deuteros, second; see deu-1 in Indo-European roots + nomos, law; see nem- in Indo-European roots.

“Wayne @ 88: Even the Bible talks of this pantheon in Deuteronomy when it talks of The Most High (El) and the sons were called elohim which means sons of El. It seems the more complicated a religion is, or is made to be, the better its chances of popular success (divide and conquer?).”
“Even the Bible talks of this pantheon in Deuteronomy when it talks of The Most High (El) and the sons were called elohim which means sons of El. But most people are content with just letting the preacher tell them what to think on Sunday morning rather than discovering the truth for themselves.”

“Deuteronomy is definately OT and I'm sure it's all about Moses: "And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face.”
