The Israelites Will Rebel. Moshe’s Message to Yehusohua. Moshe Completes Writing Down the Torah

The Israelites Will Rebel

G-d predicts that after He brings the Israelites to the Land of Israel and they live off of the land’s produce, the Jews will worship other gods and provoke G-d to anger for violating His covenant.

G-d goes on to say that when the Israelites experience bad things, the song which Moshe will sing to them will serve as a reminder to them that they had been warned that this would happen if they were to transgress His covenant. In saying that it will serve as a reminder, this is also a promise that the Torah will never be totally forgotten by their descendants.

Moshe wrote this song that day and taught it to the Israelites.
