Contextual Overview

¹ [In regular years read with Parashah 51, in leap years read separately] Moshe went and spoke the following words to all Isra'el: ² "I am 120 years old today. I can't get around any longer; moreover, Adonai has said to me, ‘You will not cross this Yarden.' ³ Adonai your God — he will cross over ahead of you. He will destroy these nations ahead of you, and you will dispossess them. Y'hoshua — he will cross over ahead of you, as Adonai has said. ⁴ (LY: ii) Adonai will do to them what he did to Sichon and ‘Og, the kings of the Emori, and to their land — he destroyed them. ⁵ Adonai will defeat them ahead of you, and you are to do to them just as I have ordered you to do. ⁶ Be strong, be bold, don't be afraid or frightened of them, for Adonai your God is going with you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you." ⁷ (RY: v, LY: iii) Next Moshe summoned Y'hoshua and, in the sight of all Isra'el, said to him, "Be strong, be bold, for you are going with this people into the land Adonai swore to their ancestors he would give them. You will be the one causing them to inherit it. ⁸ But Adonai — it is he who will go ahead of you. He will be with you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you, so don't be afraid or downhearted."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel. The following words, even to the whole body of the people summoned together on this occasion. It seems that after Moses had made the covenant with them he was directed to, he dismissed the people to their tents, and went to his own, and now returned, having ordered them to meet him again, very probably at the tabernacle; with which agrees the Targum of Jonathan, he

"went to the tabernacle of the house of doctrine;''

though, according to Aben Ezra, he went to the each tribes separately, as they lay encamped; his words are these,

"he went to every tribe and tribe, to acquaint them that he was about to die, and that they might not be afraid, and to strengthen their hearts;''

he adds,

"in my opinion he then blessed them, though their blessings are afterwards written;''

which is not improbable.
