Deuteronomy 33:1

"Deuteronomy."

Key Reflection

"Deuteronomy" marks Moses's final blessing upon Israel, symbolizing a spiritual summation and exhortation as he prepares to ascend Mount Nebo. These verses foreshadow the law’s ongoing relevance and its role in guiding the people spiritually even after Moses's departure.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The title “the man of God” in the Old Testament is one who is favored with direct revelations, but not necessarily an official prophet. The occurrence of the title here is no doubt a token that the Blessing was not, as was the Song, transcribed by Moses himself. CompareDeuteronomy 31:27.
