And he said to them, I am 120 years old this day; I can no more go out and come in. And the Lord has said to me, You shall not go over this Jordan. (Deuteronomy 31:2)

Moses, at 120 years, was not limited by his physical condition (in a short time he will climb to the top of a mountain). Instead, he could no longer go out and come in because he was limited by God’s command – the decree that Moses would not enter the Promised Land (Numbers 20:7-12).

When all Israel comes to appear before the Lord your God in the place which He chooses [for His sanctuary], you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing. (Deuteronomy 31:11)

Read the law in the hearing of the people – Deuteronomy 31:11

The purpose of reading the law was so that they may hear and that they may learn the fear the Lord and the children also may hear and learn to fear the Lord.

"Now therefore, write down this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel; put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for Me against the children of Israel. (Deuteronomy 31:19)

How do you teach a song to someone?

You sing it

This is the way the LORD taught Moses the Song

The Father sings

Moses sang

We must sing also

Lord Jesus sang

The Holy Spirit also sings

The Purpose of the Song: Deuteronomy 31:19-22,30

This song may be a witness for me against the people of Israel
A song is not easily forgotten
