Deuteronomy 1:1 · Masoretic Text (WLC)
AMPLIFIED · 1 of 3
These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel [while they were still] beyond [that is, on the east side of] the Jordan [River] in the wilderness [across from Jerusalem], in the Arabah [the long, deep valley running north and south from the eastern arm of the Red Sea to beyond the Dead Sea] opposite Suph, between Paran and Tophel and Laban and Hazeroth and Dizahab (place of gold).

▦Deuteronomy 1:1New

Deuteronomy is one long speech from Moses, in three parts: a retrospective and passionate call to faithfulness (ch.1-11), a large law code repeating and expanding what was given at Sinai (ch.12-26), and a final section of blessing, curse, and Moses' death (ch.27-34). The book's own name - a Greek phrase meaning "a second law" - names exactly what the middle section is doing.
