Context
God Commissions Joshua
21And when many troubles and afflictions have come upon them, this song will testify against them, because it will not be forgotten from the lips of their descendants. For I know their inclination, even before I bring them into the land that I swore to give them.” 22So that very day Moses wrote down this song and taught it to the Israelites. 23Then the LORD commissioned Joshua son of Nun and said, “Be strong and courageous, for you will bring the Israelites into the land that I swore to give them, and I will be with you.”…

So that day
The phrase "so that day" indicates a specific moment in time, underscoring the immediacy and importance of the actions taken by Moses. In the Hebrew context, the word for "day" (יוֹם, yom) often signifies not just a 24-hour period but a significant event or period. This highlights the urgency and divine timing in which Moses acted, emphasizing the importance of obedience and responsiveness to God's commands.

Moses wrote down
The act of writing by Moses is significant, as it underscores the permanence and authority of the message. The Hebrew root for "wrote" (כָּתַב, kathab) implies inscribing or recording, suggesting that this was not merely an oral tradition but a documented covenant meant to endure through generations. Moses, as a prophet and leader, was entrusted with this task, reflecting the divine inspiration and authority behind the scriptures.

this song
The "song" referred to is the Song of Moses, found in Deuteronomy 32. In Hebrew, the word for "song" (שִׁיר, shir) often denotes a poetic and memorable form of teaching. Songs were used in ancient cultures for their mnemonic qualities, making it easier for people to remember and pass down important teachings. This song serves as both a warning and a reminder of God's faithfulness and the consequences of disobedience.

and taught it
The phrase "and taught it" highlights the role of Moses as a teacher and leader. The Hebrew root for "taught" (לָמַד, lamad) implies instruction and learning through repetition and practice. Moses was not only to deliver the message but to ensure that the Israelites understood and internalized it. This reflects the importance of discipleship and the transmission of faith through teaching.

to the Israelites
The "Israelites" were the chosen people of God, descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This designation is significant as it reminds the reader of the covenant relationship between God and His people. The historical context of the Israelites, having been delivered from Egypt and now on the brink of entering the Promised Land, underscores the importance of this song as a reminder of their identity and responsibilities as God's covenant people.
