Deu 32:45 And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:
Ver. 45. And Moses made an end.] He did, and yet he did not, for he had yet still something more to say to them out of his great desire to speak home to their hearts. So the apostle, in 2Co 13:11, and elsewhere, comes in with his το λοιπον, Finally, or, Yet one word more ere we part.

For it is not a vain thing for you,.... That is, the law is not, and the observance of it in them and their children; it was no light and trifling matter, but of great importance and consequence, obedience to it being attended with rewards, and disobedience with punishment:

Moses again exhorts all Israel to attend to the Law and enforce it on their children, for it is their life, by which they shall prolong their days in the Land.
