TORAH PORTION
 
Haazinu ... Listen
Deuteronomy 32:1-52
Give ear, O heavens, let me speak; Let the earth hear
the words I utter! - Deuteronomy 32:1

SUMMARY: 
  • 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. (32:7-43)
  • God tells Moses to begin his ascent of Mount Nebo, from where he will see the Land of Israel from a distance but will not be allowed to enter it. (32:45-52)
