Gill's Notes on the Bible
Take this book of the law,.... Not Deuteronomy only, but the whole Pentateuch:
and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God; not in the ark, for there were nothing there but the two tables of stone with the ten commands on them, 1 Kings 8:9; but on one side of it; the Targum of Jonathan says, it was
"put in a chest (or box) on the right side of the ark of the covenant;''
which is very probable. Jarchi observes, that the wise men of Israel are divided about it in the Talmud e; some of them say there was a table (or ledge) that stood out from the ark without, and there it was put; others say it was put on the side of the tables of the law within the ark; the former are in the right:
that it may be therefore a witness against thee; when they fall into idolatry or any other sin, a transgression of any of the laws therein contained.
e T. B. Bava Bathra, fol. 14. 1. 2.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Moses completes the writing out of the book of the Law, and directs it to be placed by the ark of the covenant.
Deuteronomy 31:24
The âbookâ here spoken of would contain the whole Pentateuch up to this verse, and be âthe Book of Moses,â called generally by the Jews âthe Lawâ (compare Matthew 22:40; Galatians 4:21).
Deuteronomy 31:25
The Levites, which bare the ark - i. e., as in Deuteronomy 31:9, âthe priests the sons of Levi.â The non-priestly Levites could not so much as enter the sanctuary or touch the ark (compare Numbers 4:15). Though in the journeys through the wilderness the ark was borne by the non-priestly Kohathites, yet on occasions of a more solemn and public character it was carried by the priests themselves (Joshua 3:3 ff, Joshua 4:9-10; Joshua 6:6, Joshua 6:12; Joshua 8:33; 1 Kings 8:3).
Deuteronomy 31:26
Put it in the side of the ark - Rather, by the side of the ark. The two tables of the Decalogue were in the ark 1 Kings 8:9; the Book of the Law was to be laid up in the holy of holies close by the ark of the covenant, probably in a chest. Compare 2 Kings 22:8.
Deuteronomy 31:27
How much more after my death - Hence, Deuteronomy 31:24 and the rest of the book (with the exception of the song, Deuteronomy 31:19) must be regarded as a kind of appendix added after Mosesâ death by another hand; though the Blessing Deuteronomy 33:0 is of course to be regarded as a composition of Moses.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Deuteronomy 31:26. Take this book of the law — The standard copy to which all transcripts must ultimately refer: another copy was put into the bands of the priests. Deuteronomy 31:9; Deuteronomy 31:9.
