Commentary on Deuteronomy 31:14

Theological / Devotional

Present yourselves. Literally, “take your stand” (see Ex. 33:7).

A charge. Compare ch. 3:28, where Moses was commanded to charge Joshua. Joshua’s leadership was to entail great responsibilities.

Presented themselves. Literally, “took their stand.” Presumably they stood in the court facing the door of the tabernacle, over which the glory of God would appear.
