Joshua, son of Nun, is Moses' appointed successor, chosen by God to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land (<a href="/numbers/27-18.htm">Numbers 27:18-23</a>). This moment underscores the importance of mentorship and the passing of spiritual leadership. Joshua's presence also highlights the continuity of God's plan for Israel, as Joshua will fulfill the promise of entering Canaan, a type of Christ leading believers into the eternal Promised Land.<p><b>and recited all the words of this song</b><br>The song referred to is the Song of Moses, found in <a href="/deuteronomy/32.htm">Deuteronomy 32:1-43</a>. This song serves as a witness against the Israelites, reminding them of God's faithfulness and their tendency to rebel. It is both a historical recount and a prophetic warning. The recitation of the song emphasizes the oral tradition of the time, where important teachings and laws were memorized and passed down verbally. This method ensured that the message was preserved and internalized by the community.<p><b>in the hearing of the people</b><br>The public recitation signifies the communal aspect of the covenant relationship between God and Israel. It was crucial for all the people to hear and understand the words, as they were collectively responsible for upholding the covenant. This act of public declaration is reminiscent of other significant moments in Israel's history, such as the reading of the Law at Mount Sinai (Exodus 19-20) and later during the reforms of King Josiah (<a href="/2_kings/23.htm">2 Kings 23:1-3</a>). It underscores the importance of accountability and the role of the community in maintaining faithfulness to God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites who delivered God's laws and guidance.

His name was apparently changed to Joshua at the time when he entered the promised land with the eleven others who searched it out (<a href="/numbers/13-8.htm" title="Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.">Numbers 13:8</a>; <a href="/numbers/13-16.htm" title="These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.">Numbers 13:16</a>). Now that he is about to lead Israel to the conquest, we are once more reminded of his change of name, and that the "salvation of Jehovah" was to be manifested through him. Possibly the change of name was also at this time confirmed to him. Compare the case of Jacob, whose change of name to Israel was <span class= "ital">twice </span>made the subject of a Divine communication (<a href="/genesis/32-28.htm" title="And he said, Your name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince have you power with God and with men, and have prevailed.">Genesis 32:28</a>; <a href="/genesis/35-10.htm" title="And God said to him, Your name is Jacob: your name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be your name: and he called his name Israel.">Genesis 35:10</a>). Compare also what was said to him when about to enter into Egypt: "God spake unto <span class= "ital">Israel </span>in the visions of the night, and said, <span class= "ital">Jacob, Jacob."</span><p>We are assured by the mention of Hoshea in this place that the Joshua appointed to succeed Moses is the same person who was faithful among the spies.<p>It is also possible that this mention of Hoshea may be Joshua's <span class= "ital">first mention of himself in the sacred writings. </span>After the close of the song, the remainder of Deuteronomy is not covered by Moses' signature.
