Ver. 1. Thou art to pass over Jordan this day— i.e. At this time; or, as we should say in English, You are now preparing to pass over Jordan. Day is often put for time in the Scripture. Moses delivered this discourse in the eleventh month of the last year of their journey; and it was not till the first month of the following year that the Israelites passed over Jordan. In this interval Moses died, and the people employed a month in lamenting him.
