Across the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses began to
declare this law, saying:
Deuteronomy 1:5 Modern English Version (MEV)
***************
On
this side Jordan, in the land of Moab,.... On that side of Jordan in which the land
of Moab was, and which with respect to the land of Canaan was beyond Jordan;
this the Vulgate Latin version joins to the preceding verse:
began
Moses to declare this law: to explain it, make it clear and manifest; namely, the whole system
and body of laws, which had been before given him, which he "willed"
(k), as some render the word, or willingly took upon him to repeat and explain
unto them, which their fathers had heard, and had been delivered unto them; but
before he entered upon this, he gave them a short history of events which had
befallen them, from the time of their departure from Horeb unto the present
time, which is contained in this and the two next chapters:
saying; as follows.
(k) הואיל "voluit", Montanus; "placuit", Junius &
Tremellius, Piscator; "statuit", Tigurine version.
