Statements regarding the annual and periodic feasts are given. There were prescribed times of exact length for each of these celebrations. Each one was a reminder of God's goodness and His promised future goodness to the nation.
There then follows a section dealing with social order. Laws, judges, practices for determining guilt in matters are all given to the nation so that they would not need to wonder how to proceed in any given situation.
The section closes with a promise given to the nation that eventually a prophet like Moses would arrive, signaling that God's great work was to be accomplished.
