When Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished. That Moses, at an early period in the course of his divine legislation, was commanded to record God's wonderful doings and deliverances to Israel, appears from Exodus 17:14 [where it is called baceeper (H5612), in THE book, Deuteronomy 24:4-7, "the book of the covenant"]. To this book he from time to time made successive additions, as the inspiring 'Spirit which was in him did signify;' and here it is stated, as one of the last acts of his laborious life, that 'he made an end of writing all the words of this law х `al (H5921) ceeper (H5612)] in a book,' which is clearly defined to be the book, by the significant words which follow х `ad (H5704) tumaam (H8552)], even unto their being finished - i:e., in full wholly (Gesenius: cf. Deuteronomy 31:30; Joshua 24:25-26; 1 Samuel 10:25).
