Contextual Overview

1 Then Moses went and spoke these words to all the Israelites: 2 "I am now one hundred twenty years old, and I cannot lead you anymore. The Lord told me I would not cross the Jordan River; 3 the Lord your God will lead you across himself. He will destroy those nations for you, and you will take over their land. Joshua will also lead you across, as the Lord has said. 4 The Lord will do to those nations what he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, when he destroyed them and their land. 5 The Lord will give those nations to you; do to them everything I told you. 6 Be strong and brave. Don't be afraid of them and don't be frightened, because the Lord your God will go with you. He will not leave you or forget you." 7 Then Moses called Joshua and said to him in front of the people, "Be strong and brave, because you will lead these people into the land the Lord promised to give their ancestors, and help them take it as their own. 8 The Lord himself will go before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forget you. Don't be afraid and don't worry."

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.

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.

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