Fragments from the Lost Writings of Irenaeus · Saint Irenaeus of Lyons

Expounding again the law to that generation which followed those who were slain in the wilderness, he published Deuteronomy; not as giving to them a different law from that which had been appointed for their fathers, but as recapitulating this latter, in order that they, by hearing what had happened to their fathers, might fear God with their whole heart.

IrFrag 16.1
