ט. אַתֶּם נִצָּבִים הַיּוֹם כֻּלְּכֶם לִפְנֵי יְ־הֹוָ־ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם רָאשֵׁיכֶם שִׁבְטֵיכֶם זִקְנֵיכֶם וְשֹׁטְרֵיכֶם כֹּל אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל:
9. You are all standing this day before the Lord, your God the leaders of your tribes, your elders and your officers, every man of Israel,

You are all standing: [The verse says, “this day,” which] teaches us that on the day of his death, Moses assembled Israel in the presence of the Holy One, Blessed is He, to bring them into [His] covenant.
ראשיכם שבטיכם: ראשיכם לשבטיכם:
the leaders of your tribes: Heb. שִׁבְטֵיכֶם רָאשֵׁיכֶם, [lit., “your leaders, your tribes,” referring to two separate entities, which does not make sense here because “your tribes” includes the leaders. Rather, this means here:] “The leaders of your tribes.

The second portion begins with the words “And Moshe went, and he spoke the following words to all Israel.” (31:1)

* Choose Life *
.......... Of what do we speak? Of what do we dream? Our clothes do not matter. Our outward appearance is not what we need to continue to win God’s affection. It will be our dreams, our goals, our vision for the world the will result in God declaring, “I desire these peop
