Deuteronomy 10:11 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 10:11

And the Lord said unto me, arise, take thy journey before the
people
Here Moses goes on with his relation of things at Mount Sinai, how that upon his supplication for the people, on account of the destruction they were threatened with for their idolatry, the Lord was graciously pleased not only to hear him and forgive the people, but ordered him to go before them, and lead them on towards the land of Canaan he had promised them, ( Exodus 32:34 ) ( 33:1 ) ,

that they may go in and possess the land,
which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them; and which had it not been for their later murmurings and rebellions, they had been in the possession of it in a little time, especially after their departure from Sinai.

Deuteronomy 10:11 In-Context

9 Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD your God spoke to him.)

10 I stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and the LORD listened to me that time also; the LORD would not destroy you.

11 The LORD said to me, Arise, take your journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to them.

12 Now, Yisra'el, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

13 to keep the mitzvot of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command you this day for your good?
