Hilkiah: 2 Kings 22:8-20; Deuteronomy 31:24-26

a book: Literally, "a book of the law of the Lord, by the hand of Moses," i.e, as Dr. Kennicott understands it, "in the handwriting of Moses;" for, says he, though there are fifteen places in the Old Testament which mention the "Law of Moses," and "book of Moses," yet this one place only mentions "the book of the law in, or by, the hand of Moses."

the law: 2 Chronicles 12:1, 2 Chronicles 31:4, 2 Chronicles 35:26; Deuteronomy 17:18-19; Joshua 1:8; Ezra 7:10; Psalms 1:2; Isaiah 5:24, Isaiah 30:9; Jeremiah 8:8; Luke 2:39

Moses: Heb. the hand of Moses, Leviticus 8:36, Leviticus 10:11, Leviticus 26:46
