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 Mosè andò e rivolse ancora queste parole a tutto Israele.

2 Disse loro: "Io sono oggi in età di centovent’anni; non posso più andare e venire, e l’Eterno m’ha detto: Tu non passerai questo Giordano.

3 L’Eterno, il tuo Dio, sarà quegli che passerà davanti a te, che distruggerà d’innanzi a te quelle nazioni, e tu possederai il loro paese; e Giosuè passerà davanti a te, come l’Eterno ha detto.

4 E l’Eterno tratterà quelle nazioni come trattò Sihon e Og, re degli Amorei, ch’egli distrusse col loro paese.

5 L’Eterno le darà in vostro potere, e voi le tratterete secondo tutti gli ordini che v’ho dato.
