And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel. ] Finished all he had to say to them from the Lord, whether by way of precept, moral, civil, and ceremonial or in the form of a song.
43
Praise, O heavens, his people, worship him, all you gods! For he will avenge the blood of his children, and take vengeance on his adversaries; he will repay those who hate him, and cleanse the land for his people.
44
Moses came and recited all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he and Joshua son of Nun.
45
When Moses had finished reciting all these words to all Israel,
46
he said to them: "Take to heart all the words that I am giving in witness against you today; give them as a command to your children, so that they may diligently observe all the words of this law.
47
This is no trifling matter for you, but rather your very life; through it you may live long in the land that you are crossing over the Jordan to possess."
