Grade 3 Scripture Chapter 8: Teacher Guide and Answers

Student lessons | Practice | Teacher guide | Grade 3

Selected readings from Deuteronomy 17–18 continue the covenant sequence. They do not cover every verse: surrounding passages include difficult ancient legal material and should be read with adult guidance. Family interpretations may differ. This is not an Alabama academic standard.

Answers paraphrase the cited passages; translations differ. Accept faithful wording with a verse reference, and separate observations from family interpretations.

Day 1: The King and Responsible Leadership (Deuteronomy 17:14–17)

  1. The LORD/God chooses the king, according to verse 15.
  2. Horses, wives, or excessive silver and gold; accept any one.
  3. Israel is described as entering, possessing, and living in the land given to it, then asking for a king.
  4. An observation reports what the verses say; an application discusses a present-day lesson or response.

Day 2: Reading and Humility (Deuteronomy 17:18–20)

  1. A copy of the law, from the copy before the Levitical priests.
  2. All the days of his life.
  3. His heart should not be lifted up above his fellow Israelites.
  4. Responses vary; the observation should be supported by the passage and the application labeled as such.

Day 3: Provision and Service (Deuteronomy 18:1–8)

  1. The priests and Levites, including the tribe of Levi.
  2. First grain, wine, oil, or the first fleece of sheep; translations may use different words.
  3. Standing to minister in the name of the LORD.
  4. It helps readers understand whom the instructions address before discussing later applications.

Day 4: Listening and Testing Claims (Deuteronomy 18:15–22)

  1. A prophet from among the people, like Moses.
  2. The people’s request at Horeb not to hear the divine voice or see the great fire again.
  3. A prediction spoken in the LORD’s name that does not happen.
  4. The distinction helps the reader identify what the text states and recognize where explanation or interpretation begins.

Day 5: Independent Passage Review

  1. A copy of the law (17:18).
  2. All the days of his life (17:19).
  3. First grain, wine, oil, or first fleece (18:4).
  4. To stand and minister in the name of the LORD (18:5).

Assessment and Reteaching

Day 5 checks four details and references. If needed, model finding chapter and verse, then use a fresh passage for independent practice. These selected readings do not establish completion of the whole sequence.
