Then Moses
The phrase "Then Moses" marks a significant transition in the narrative. Moses, the great leader and prophet, is at the end of his life. The Hebrew name "Moshe" is derived from the root "mashah," meaning "to draw out," reflecting his role in drawing the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses' leadership is a central theme in the Pentateuch, and his actions here are a culmination of his life's work. His authority and prophetic voice are underscored as he prepares to deliver a final, divinely inspired message.

recited aloud
The act of reciting aloud emphasizes the oral tradition of the Israelites. In ancient times, oral recitation was a primary means of communication and teaching. The Hebrew word "dabar" can mean "to speak" or "to declare," indicating the importance of spoken word in conveying God's commandments and teachings. This public proclamation ensures that the message is heard by all, reinforcing communal memory and accountability.

the words of this song
The "song" referred to is the Song of Moses, found in Deuteronomy 32. In Hebrew, "shir" means "song" or "poem," and it often conveys deep theological truths and historical reflections. Songs in the Bible serve as mnemonic devices, aiding in the retention and transmission of important teachings. This particular song is both a prophetic warning and a reminder of God's faithfulness, encapsulating the covenant relationship between God and Israel.

to the assembly of Israel
The "assembly of Israel" refers to the gathered community of the Israelites. The Hebrew term "qahal" denotes a congregation or assembly, highlighting the collective identity of the people as God's chosen nation. This communal setting underscores the importance of unity and shared responsibility in adhering to the covenant. The assembly serves as a witness to the words spoken, ensuring that the message is not only heard but also preserved and acted upon by the entire nation.

(30) And Moses spake . . . the words of this song.--The exodus of Israel begins and ends with a song of Moses. The song of Exodus 15 is usually referred to as the "Song of Moses," and is thought to be intended in Revelation 15:3-4. But there is a remarkable resemblance between Revelation 15:3 and Deuteronomy 32:3-4, which see.
