Abstract
Weinfeld's study contains an impressive amount of detailed observations on style, form, and ideas of Deuteronomy. Regarding exegetical discussion that has unfolded since Weinfeld's study, it becomes clear that question about how book of Deuteronomy is related to overall and ill-defined complex of cannot be answered by a simple model. In 16:19, a certain group of חכמים is mentioned. Although this mention is made at first glance more or less en passant, and, compared to Deut 4:5-8, seems to be theologically far from crucial, it can provide some insight into relationship between Deuteronomy and wisdom, since it contains a critical view of the wise, which is related to a (Deuteronomistic) concept of obedience to Mosaic Torah. In Deut 16:19-20, sapiential tradition is at same time both taken up and critically transformed within literary horizon of book of Deuteronomy. Keywords: Deuteronomy; Mosaic Torah; sapiential tradition; wisdom
