Context — The Law Placed in the Ark
22So that very day Moses wrote down this song and taught it to the Israelites.
23Then the LORD commissioned Joshua son of Nun and said, “Be strong and courageous, for you will bring the Israelites into the land that I swore to give them, and I will be with you.”
24When Moses had finished writing in a book the words of this law from beginning to end,
25he gave this command to the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD: 26“Take this Book of the Law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, so that it may remain there as a witness against you.Cross References

Deuteronomy 31:24 Summary
[Moses finished writing down all of God's laws and commands in a book, which is a significant event because it shows how important it is to preserve God's word for future generations, as seen in Deuteronomy 31:24. This book, likely the first five books of the Bible, including Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, contains the covenant between God and the Israelites. By writing down God's laws, Moses was able to pass on God's teachings to the Israelites, and we can learn from his example by prioritizing Scripture in our own lives, just like Joshua did in Joshua 1:8. As we reflect on this verse, we can be reminded of the importance of trusting in God's presence and promises, just like Joshua did, and of the significance of preserving God's word for future generations.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of Moses writing down the words of the law?
Moses writing down the words of the law from beginning to end signifies the importance of preserving God's commands for future generations, as seen in Deuteronomy 31:24, and is a testament to the authority and completeness of Scripture, much like the psalmist's declaration in Psalms 119:160 that God's word is forever settled in heaven.
What book is being referred to in this verse?
The book being referred to in Deuteronomy 31:24 is the Book of the Law, which contains the covenant between God and the Israelites, as mentioned in Deuteronomy 31:26, and is likely the first five books of the Bible, including Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
Why is it important that Moses finished writing the book from beginning to end?
Moses finishing the book from beginning to end emphasizes the completeness and finality of God's revelation to the Israelites at that time, much like the apostle John's statement in Revelation 22:18-19 that nothing should be added to or taken away from the words of the book of Revelation.
How does this verse relate to the rest of the Bible?
This verse is significant because it highlights the importance of Scripture in the life of God's people, a theme that is repeated throughout the Bible, such as in Joshua 1:8, where Joshua is commanded to meditate on the Book of the Law day and night, and in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, where Scripture is described as being profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness.
Reflection Questions
- What role does Scripture play in my life, and how can I prioritize its study and application?
- How can I, like Moses, be faithful in preserving and passing on the teachings of God to the next generation?
- In what ways can I, like the Israelites, be reminded of God's covenant and commands, and how can I respond in obedience?
- What are some ways that I can, like Joshua, be strong and courageous in my faith, and how can I trust in God's presence and promises?
- How can I, like the psalmist, treasure and delight in God's word, and how can it bring joy and comfort to my life?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Deuteronomy 31:24
And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished, When Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished.
Ellicott's Commentary on Deuteronomy 31:24
Deuteronomy 31:24-28. OF THE BOOKS OF MOSES TO THE LEVITES.(24) When Moses had made an end of writing.—This means the completion of the books of Moses as he delivered them to Israel; not merely Deuteronomy, as above, in Deuteronomy 31:9, but the whole, including the song mentioned in Deuteronomy 31:22. The song was probably the end of the book as delivered to them by Moses. In a book.—’Al-sêpher; upon a roll. The Pentateuch is written upon a single roll to this day. (25) The Levites, which bare the ark.—Observe this, and comp. Deuteronomy 31:9, above. (26) In the side of the ark.—More literally, beside, Rashi says, “The wise men of Israel differ about this in the treatise Baba Bathra (in the Talmud). Some of them say there was a leaf or slab projecting from the ark outside, and there the book was placed. Others say that it was placed beside the tables of the covenant in the ark itself.” (28) Gather unto me all the elders.—In like manner Joshua gave a special charge to the elders at the close of his life (Joshua 23).
Cambridge Bible on Deuteronomy 31:24
24–30. Again the Law-Book (?) and the Song A less vague description of these vv. is not possible. The text says that Moses having written the Law in a book charged the Levites to put it beside the Ark as a witness against thee (Deuteronomy 31:24-26). For Israel, which has been rebellious in his life—here the address changes from Sg. to Pl.—will be more so after his death (Deuteronomy 31:27). They shall assemble the elders of their tribes and officers that he may recite to them these words and call heaven and earth to witness against them. For after his death they will corrupt themselves and evil will befall them in the latter days (Deuteronomy 31:28-30).—These words can hardly refer to the Law, already recited to the people; they must be the words of this Song (Deuteronomy 31:30) which follows in 32. If the text be original which reads Tτrah = Law in Deuteronomy 31:24; Deuteronomy 31:26, then Deuteronomy 31:24-26 are parallel (not consecutive) to Deuteronomy 31:9-13, and we cannot conjecture a reason for separating the two passages by Deuteronomy 31:14-23, on Joshua and the Song. Staerk (followed by Steuern. and Berth.) holds that Tτrah was originally Shξrah = Song. This conjecture is attractive. It restores unity to Deuteronomy 31:24-30 and their natural connection with Deuteronomy 31:16-22, and gets rid of the improbable fact that both Law and Song are described as witness against Israel; note too that this book (Deuteronomy 31:24; Deuteronomy 31:26) is not to be put in, but beside, the Ark.
At the same time there is no other evidence (in the versions or elsewhere) that Shξrah may have stood in place of Tτrah, the Law may equally well with the Song be described as a witness against Israel, and the phrase these words more usually refers to what precedes than to what follows it. Notice a symptom of compilation, in that while the Levites are addressed in Deuteronomy 31:25 it is all Israel, against thee, which is addressed in Deuteronomy 31:26. The whole passage is therefore editorial, and the questions it raises are insoluble by us. Staerk distinguishes two introductions to the Song, Deuteronomy 31:16-22; Deuteronomy 31:24-30, and so independently Driver; note the difference in their styles. Cullen (p. 181) retains the reading Tτrah = Law, and takes Deuteronomy 31:24-29 as a later addition to Deuteronomy 31:9-13, the original conclusion of the epilogue to the Code of D composed when Israel’s attitude to this was still satisfactory, and added when the nation fell away. For another view see the Oxf. Hex.
Barnes' Notes on Deuteronomy 31:24
Moses completes the writing out of the book of the Law, and directs it to be placed by the ark of the covenant.
