The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 31:14-30

The Lord's Charge to Moses and to the Levites v. 14. And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die. Call Joshua, and present yourselves in the Tabernacle of the Congregation that I may give him a charge, the direct divine appointment to his office as leader of the people. And Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves in the Tabernacle of the Congregation. v. 15. And the Lord appeared in the Tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud, Exodus 33:9; and the pillar of... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 31:14-29

the Charge to His Successor Deuteronomy 31:14-29 Moses had already announced that Joshua would succeed him; but in view of the great difficulties which confronted the new leader, it was expedient that the guiding pillar should give him the symbol and pledge of God’s endorsement. Two other sources of their allegiance were proposed. First, a song. National songs lay hold on memory and have a powerful effect in stirring the deepest emotions. This song, composed under the divine impulse,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 31:1-30

At the conclusion of his fourth discourse, Moses talked to the people concerning his own departure and encouraged them in view of the fact that they were coming into the land by assuring them of the continued presence and power of God. To Joshua also he spoke words of the same kind. It is very beautiful to see Moses in his last days on earth attempting in every way in his power to impress on the people the fact that only one thing mattered-that they should remember God and obey Him. Here it... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 31:14

DEATH APPROACHING‘Behold, thy days approach that thou must die.’ Deuteronomy 31:14 I. Those who live chiefly for this world try not to think of death, because they would like nothing better than to live on here for ever. But the shutting of our eyes to the approach of death does not make him turn away from us, and therefore our wisest and safest course is to prepare for his coming, whether it be near or far off. II. Death does not occupy that place in the Word of God which it does occupy in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 31:14-23

Moses’ Final Charge From Yahweh (Deuteronomy 31:14-23 ). God now called Moses and Joshua into the Tent of Meeting, and when they had entered, the cloud stood over the door of the Tent of Meeting in order to demonstrate that they were in conference, and to prevent interruption by the priests. Both Moses and Joshua as servants of Yahweh clearly had a unique right of access. In a book where the emphasis was on the ‘place’ which Yahweh would choose where the people met, this one and only mention... read more

In the tabernacle; either properly so called, for though the priests only might ordinarily enter there, yet others might go in upon a call and command from God, which here they had; or in the court of the tabernacle, at the door of which God stood in the cloudy pillar, Deuteronomy 31:15, the court coming here under the name of the tabernacle, as elsewhere it comes under the name of the temple. That I may give him a charge, immediately from myself, for his greater encouragement, and to gain him... read more

CRITICAL REMARKS.—Moses had finished the interpretation and enforcement of the law. But his work is not quite accomplished, he therefore makes final arrangements.Deuteronomy 31:1-6. Encouragement to Israel. Went Heb. continued to speak and prepare himself. His age not likely to render him a sufficient guide in future, though his natural force was unabated (cf. Deuteronomy 34:7.)
