In this Torah Portion, Moses has finished his recapping of the words and instructions of God for the people as they enter the Promised Land. He finishes writing the Torah and places it near the arc. He gives his final thoughts to the people and the Lord tells him what will become of the people after they enter the Land. They will turn their faces from YHVH and He will turn His from them.
His last duty is to write a song for the people to leave with them after he passes, to help them remember. The song is the essence of the next Torah Portion, but these are his last words to the people.
Important words for the people and according to Paul in 1 Corinthians 10, important words for us as the last generation.
