Reading from Deuteronomy Chapter 31 LXX
The Book of "This Law" that Moses wrote.
After the LORD gave Moses the words of the covenant made in the land of Moab (in addition to the earlier covenant made in the land of Horeb),
Deuteronomy 27:1 "And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded, saying, Keep all these commands, all that I command you this day."
Deuteronomy 28:69 "These are the words of the covenant, which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he made with them in Choreb."
Moses wrote the words of the law into a book and gave the book to ". . . the priests the sons of Levi who bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to the elders of the sons of Israel." (Deuteronomy 31:9).
Also, in Deuteronomy 31:24 - 26 LXX, "And when Moses finished writing all the *words of this law* in a book, even to the end, then he charged the Levites who bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying, 26 Take the book of this law, and ye shall put it in the *side* of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God; and it shall be there among you for a testimony.
Note: Deuteronomy 31:30 should be read as the first verse of the next chapter,
Deuteronomy 32, where the lyrics of the Song are recorded in the first
forty-three verses.
Deuteronomy 31:30 "And Moses spoke all the *words of this song* even to the
end, in the ears of the whole assembly."
Question:
Is this the Song of Moses referenced in Revelations 15:3 "And they sing the
song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and
marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou
King of saints."?
