Vayeilech
I am one hundred and twenty years old today, declares Moses, and am no longer to be your leader. Joshua has been chosen as my successor; under his leadership you will enter the Holy Land. Be strong, and do not fear the hostile peoples you encounter; G-d will grant you victory.
Moses finishes writing the Torah – the Five Books of Moses – and gives the scroll to the Kohanim and the elders of the Jews.
Moses instructs the Jews in the Mitzvah of Hakhel, the Gathering, which occurs following every seventh year of the Sabbatical cycle. On the holiday of Sukkos , every man, woman and child must assemble in the courtyard of the Temple, where the king reads publicly from Devarim, fifth book of the Torah.
G-d now informs Moses that the time has come for him to pass away. G-d warns Moses that after his passing, the people will not remain faithful forever; they will eventually violate the covenant and turn to idolatry – and bear the consequences. G-d communicates to Moses a prophetic song depicting these far-off events, which comprises the bulk of the next Parsha, Ha’azinu.
