A Postscript

Moses again exhorts all Israel to attend to the Law and enforce it on their children, for it is their life, by which they shall prolong their days in the Land. Both the ideas and the language are deuteronomic, and the passage belongs to one of the hortatory supplements to the Law. Most connect it with Deuteronomy 31:24-27.

Berth."s proposal to read Shirah, Song, for Torah, Law, in Deuteronomy 32:46 (see on Deuteronomy 31:24) and to refer all the vv. to the Song, is contradicted by the phraseology, which is elsewhere consistently used of the Law.
