Reading "the law"

Chapter 8 of Joshua finds the Israelites capturing the town of Ai. Afterward, Joshua leads the community in reading the law (Joshua 8:34, KJV),
Afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
The Law of Moses require that the law, itself, be read periodically in order to keep the statutes fresh in mind. This "law," commonly understood as the first five books of the Bible, is still with us to this day, and it is still incumbent upon us to read it.

That is why it's important to read and study the Bible, including the Old Testament portions. Fortunately, there are many useful reading plans. I enjoy the One Year Bible, which divides the Bible into shorter chunks for daily reading. But there are many other good reading plans. The important thing is the find a Bible reading plan, and stick with it!
