Abstract
Warfare does not stand out as a major concern in the main body of decrees and laws in Deuteronomy 12:1–26:16, the so-called Deuteronomic core. These chapters only mention war as a means to attain broader aims. In keeping with the larger concerns of the present volume, this contribution is a case study contributing to the over-arching question about whether or not an earlier independent Deuteronomic core existed that later was framed to obtain the present book.
