And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel.
And Moses went and spake, х wayeelek (H3212) Mosheh (H4872) wayªdabeer (H1696)]. 'And Moses continued to address these words.' This seems rather to be the import of the phraseology, than that, after a cessation of some interval, Moses repaired to the scene of the public assembly to speak to the people.
It is probable that this rehearsal of the law extended over several successive days; and it might be the last and most important day on which the return of Moses to the place of assembly is specially noticed. In drawing his discourse toward a conclusion, he adverted to his advanced age; and although neither his physical nor intellectual powers had suffered any decay (Deuteronomy 34:7), yet he knew by a special revelation that the time had arrived when he was about to be withdrawn from the superintendence and government of Israel.
