(29:9–14)  God warns the Israelites that they will be punished if they act idolatrously, the way the inhabitants of the other nations do. (29:15–28)  Moses reassures the people that God will not forsake them and that they can attain blessings by following God's commandments. (30:1–20)  Moses prepares the people for his death and announces that Joshua will succeed him. (31:1–8)  Moses instructs the priests and the elders regarding the importance of reading the Torah.

God tells Moses to teach the people a poem that will "be My witness." (31:14–30)

Moses sings his last song, a love poem to God and a chastisement of the people, who are not worthy of Adonai. (32:1–6)  The poem recounts the blessings that God has bestowed on the Israelites, the wicked deeds they have committed, and the punishments that God then inflicted upon them.
