Notes from Deut 32

In this chapter we have,

I. The song which Moses, by the appointment of God, delivered to the children of Israel, for a standing admonition to them, to take heed of forsaking God. This takes up most of the chapter, in which we have,
1. The preface (v. 1, 2).
2. A high character of God, and, in opposition to that, a bad character of the people of Israel (v. 3-6).
3. A rehearsal of the great things God had done for them, and in opposition to that an account of their ill carriage towards him (v. 7-18).
4. A prediction of the wasting destroying judgments which God would bring upon them for their sins, in which God is here justified by the many aggravations of their impieties (v. 19-33).
5. A promise of the destruction of their enemies and oppressors at last, and the glorious deliverance of a remnant of Israel (v. 36-43).
II. The exhortation with which Moses delivered this song to them (v. 44-47).
III. The orders God gives to Moses to go up to Mount Nebo and die (v. 48, etc.).
