Vayelech, 5th Aliya

G-d Message During Moshe’s Final Days

G-d tells Moshe that his final days are approaching and that he should call upon Yehoshua to stand in the Ohel Moed and He will urge him on.

So Moshe and Yehoshua stand in the Ohel Moed and G-d appears in a pillar of cloud at the entrance of the tent.

G-d tells Moshe that he is about to die and warns that the Israelites will worship the false deities of the other nations within the land of Israel, thereby forsaking G-d.

G-d continues on to say that he will be angry with them at that time and will abandon the nation and hide His face (as though He isn’t aware of their suffering) on account of their idolatrous behavior and they will fall upon much misfortune and will feel as though G-d is no longer with them.

G-d then tells Moshe to write the song הַאֲזִינוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם (Begins on Devarim 32:1) and to place it in the mouths of the nation for it to bear witness to them.
