And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel, etc.] Not in the hearing of the whole body of the people, and every individual thereof; no man could be able to speak to such a numerous congregation, as that they should hear him; but in the hearing of their heads and representatives, the elders of their tribes and officers, ordered to be gathered together for this purpose, (<053128>Deuteronomy 31:28); the words of this song, until they were ended; which song is recorded in the following chapter, (<053201>Deuteronomy 32:1-43).
