SEV Biblia, Chapter 31:26
Tomad este libro de la ley, y ponedlo en un canto del arca del pacto del SEÑOR vuestro Dios, y esté allí por testigo contra ti.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 31:26
Verse 26. Take this book of the law] The standard copy to which all transcripts must ultimately refer: another copy was put into the bands of the priests. See the note on "ver. 9".
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 26. Take this book of the law , etc.] Not Deuteronomy only, but the whole Pentateuch: and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God ; not in the ark, for there were nothing there but the two tables of stone with the ten commands on them, ( 1 Kings 8:9); but on one side of it; the Targum of Jonathan says, it was “put in a chest (or box) on the right side of the ark of the covenant;” which is very probable. Jarchi observes, that the wise men of Israel are divided about it in the Talmud f566 ; some of them say there was a table (or ledge) that stood out from the ark without, and there it was put; others say it was put on the side of the tables of the law within the ark; the former are in the right: that it may be therefore a witness against thee ; when they fall into idolatry or any other sin, a transgression of any of the laws therein contained.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 23-30 - The solemn delivery of the book of the law to the Levites, to be deposited in, or rather by the side, of the ark, is again related. The song which follows in the next chapter is delivered to Moses, and by him to the people. He wrote it first, as the Holy Spirit taught him and then spake it in the hearing of all the people. Moses tells the plainly, I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves Many a sad thought, no doubt, it occasioned to this good man; but his comfort was, that he had done his duty, and that God would be glorifie in their dispersion, if not in their settlement, for the foundation of God stands sure __________________________________________________________________
