Deuteronomy 1:6

"“The LORD our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, ‘You have lived long enough at this mountain."

Key Reflection

This verse underscores that the Israelites had been at Mount Horeb for a considerable time, and Moses is emphasizing the need to move forward. It reflects both the length of their journey and God's desire for them to progress beyond their current dwelling place towards the Promised Land.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The first and introductory address of Moses to the people is here commenced. It extends toDeuteronomy 4:40; and is divided from the second discourse by theDeu 1:4:41-49. A summary of the address is given in the chapter-headings usually found in English Bibles.
