Deuteronomio 31:1 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 31:1

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.

Deuteronomio 31:1 In-Context

1 De nuevo habló Moisés a todo el pueblo de Israel, y les dijo:

2 «Ya tengo ciento veinte años de edad, y no puedo seguir siendo su líder. Además, el SEÑOR me ha dicho que no voy a cruzar el Jordán,

3 pues ha ordenado que sea Josué quien lo cruce al frente de ustedes. El SEÑOR su Dios marchará al frente de ustedes para destruir a todas las naciones que encuentren a su paso, y ustedes se apoderarán de su territorio.

4 El SEÑOR las arrasará como arrasó a Sijón y a Og, los reyes de los amorreos, junto con sus países.

5 Cuando el SEÑOR los entregue en sus manos, ustedes los tratarán según mis órdenes.
