PARASHA 044 "D'varim - the words" MAIN PAGE
D'varim Deuteronomy
1:1–3:22
The name of the Parshah, "Devarim," means "the words" and it is found in
Deuteronomy 1:1.
On the first of Shevat (thirty-seven days before his passing), Moses
begins his repetition of the Torah to the assembled children of Israel,
reviewing the events that occurred and the laws that were given in the
course of their forty-year journey from Egypt to Sinai to the Promised
Land, rebuking the people for their failings and iniquities, and
enjoining them to keep the Torah and observe its commandments in the
land that YEHOVAH is giving them as an eternal heritage, into which they
shall cross after his death.
Moses recalls his appointment of judges and magistrates to ease his
burden of meting out justice to the people and teaching them the word of
YEHOVAH; the journey from Sinai through the great and fearsome desert;
the sending of the spies and the people’s subsequent spurning of the
Promised Land, so that YEHOVAH decreed that the entire generation of the
Exodus would die out in the desert. “Also against me,” says Moses, “was
YEHOVAH angry for your sake, saying: You, too, shall not go in there.”
Moses also recounts some more recent events: the refusal of the nations
of Moab and Ammon to allow the Israelites to pass through their
countries; the wars against the Emorite kings Sichon and Og, and the
settlement of their lands by the tribes of Reuben and Gad and part of
the tribe of Manasseh; and Moses’ message to his successor, Joshua, who
will take the people into the Land and lead them in the battles for its
conquest: “Fear them not, for the YEHOVAH your ELOHIM, He shall fight
for you.”
