Where is the Song of Moses, and why start with Deuteronomy 31?
Not yet rankedPublished answer
Deuteronomy 31 introduces a song taught as a witness, and chapter 32 gives its words. Reading the introduction explains why remembrance and warning matter. Revelation 15 names the song of Moses and the Lamb, which is the connection this pillar explores.
