Moses speaks to the people
1 These are the words that Moses spoke to all the Israelites.[a] They were together in the desert on the east side of the Jordan River. This is in the Jordan Valley near Suph. It is between the towns called Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth and Dizahab. 2 (It is a journey of 11 days from Sinai to Kadesh-Barnea, along the road past Mount Seir.)[b] 3 Moses spoke to the Israelites on the first day of the 11th month, in the 40th year of their journey. He told the Israelites the message that the Lord had commanded him to speak.[c]

- 1:1 These people are the children of the Israelites who left Egypt. They were born while their parents travelled in the desert.
- 1:2 The journey from Sinai should only have been 11 days. The Israelites had travelled through the desert for 40 years because they did not trust God.
- 1:3 When we write Lord like this, it is a special name for God. Sometimes people write it as ‘Yahweh’, or as ‘Jehovah’. It is his own name that he told Moses. See Exodus 3:14. It means ‘I am who I am’. This shows that God has always been there and he always will be there.
