Contextual Overview

1Moses went on and addressed these words to all Israel. He said, "I'm 120 years old today. I can't get about as I used to. And God told me, ‘You're not going to cross this Jordan River.' 3" God , your God, will cross the river ahead of you and destroy the nations in your path so that you may dispossess them. (And Joshua will cross the river before you, as God said he would.) God will give the nations the same treatment he gave the kings of the Amorites, Sihon and Og, and their land; he'll destroy them. God will hand the nations over to you, and you'll treat them exactly as I have commanded you. 6 "Be strong. Take courage. Don't be intimidated. Don't give them a second thought because God , your God, is striding ahead of you. He's right there with you. He won't let you down; he won't leave you." 7Then Moses summoned Joshua. He said to him with all Israel watching, "Be strong. Take courage. You will enter the land with this people, this land that God promised their ancestors that he'd give them. You will make them the proud possessors of it. God is striding ahead of you. He's right there with you. He won't let you down; he won't leave you. Don't be intimidated. Don't worry."

Genesis 31:3
That's when God said to Jacob, "Go back home where you were born. I'll go with you."
Genesis 31:4
So Jacob sent word for Rachel and Leah to meet him out in the field where his flocks were. He said, "I notice that your father has changed toward me; he doesn't treat me the same as before. But the God of my father hasn't changed; he's still with me. You know how hard I've worked for your father. Still, your father has cheated me over and over, changing my wages time and again. But God never let him really hurt me. If he said, ‘Your wages will consist of speckled animals' the whole flock would start having speckled lambs and kids. And if he said, ‘From now on your wages will be streaked animals' the whole flock would have streaked ones. Over and over God used your father's livestock to reward me.
Genesis 31:17
Jacob did it. He put his children and his wives on camels and gathered all his livestock and everything he had gotten, everything acquired in Paddan Aram, to go back home to his father Isaac in the land of Canaan.

When Laban reached him, Jacob's tents were pitched in the Gilead mountains; Laban pitched his tents there, too.

"Didn't those who worked for me say, ‘He fed us well. There were always second helpings'? And no stranger ever had to spend a night in the street; my doors were always open to travelers. Did I hide my sin the way Adam did, or conceal my guilt behind closed doors Because I was afraid what people would say, fearing the gossip of the neighbors so much That I turned myself into a recluse? You know good and well that I didn't.
Psalms 57:4
I find myself in a pride of lions who are wild for a taste of human flesh; Their teeth are lances and arrows, their tongues are sharp daggers.

A sound mind makes for a robust body, but runaway emotions corrode the bones.

We're blasted by anger and swamped by rage, but who can survive jealousy?
Ecclesiastes 4:4
Then I observed all the work and ambition motivated by envy. What a waste! Smoke. And spitting into the wind.
Jeremiah 9:23
God 's Message: "Don't let the wise brag of their wisdom. Don't let heroes brag of their exploits. Don't let the rich brag of their riches. If you brag, brag of this and this only: That you understand and know me. I'm God , and I act in loyal love. I do what's right and set things right and fair, and delight in those who do the same things. These are my trademarks." God 's Decree.

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXXI

Moses, being one hundred and twenty years old and about to die,

calls the people together, and exhorts them to courage and

obedience, 1-6.

Delivers a charge to Joshua, 7, 8.

Delivers the law which he hod written to the priests, with a

solemn charge that they should read it every seventh year,

publicly to all the people, 9-13.

The Lord calls Moses and Joshua to the tabernacle, 14.

He appears to them, informs Moses of his approaching death, and

delivers to him a prophetical and historical song, or poem,

which he is to leave with Israel, for their instruction and

reproof, 15-21.

Moses writes the song the same day, and teaches it to the

Israelites, 22;

gives Joshua a charge, 23;

finishes writing the book of the law, 24.

Commands the Levites to lay it up in the side of the ark,
