Deuteronomy is the 5th book of the Old Testament. The word is derived from Greek, and means "second law-giving", as it repeats many of the laws given to Israel in Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers (books 2-4 of the OT). It was written by Moses (except for the end, which gives an account of Moses' death, and is believed to have been written by Joshua).

Peace and grace my friend.
Deuteronomy is the name of the fifth Book of Moses and the end was written by Joshua.
This is neither a place nor a group of people.

No just one of the major books of the Torah [and the Old and New Testaments bible books]. It is where God talks to Moses and tells him what to write including the other 4 books of the Torah !!!

Deut = 2nd
nom = law
The book is attributed to a time the 40 years in the wilderness are over, when they where in the Land of MOAB.
Exodus is when they came out of Egypt and had arrived at Siani.

No, it's a Greek word meaning "second law" or as it originally was written in Hebrew "Devarim", meaning "things". It was so named because the first sentence in the books is "these are the things...". When the Greeks translated it, they took it to mean "talks".
Sort of like we'd say "stuff" today, as in "this is just more of the same stuff as before" when speaking of laws. lol
