“And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the Lord had given him in commandment unto them;”
And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel -- the precision of the date underscores solemnity and finality. Moses addresses a nation born in the wilderness; almost none of those who rejected the spies remain. The law he now reiterates is received not by those who heard it at Sinai, but by their children, yet the covenant is binding upon them as if they themselves stood at Horeb.
