Deuteronomy 1:5
Beyond the Jordan in the land of Moab. And Moses began to expound the law, and to say:

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- trans Jordanem in terra Moab. Cœpitque Moyses explanare legem, et dicere :
- Septuagint (Swete)
- ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἐν γῇ Μωὰβ ἢρξατο Μωυσῆς διασαφῆσαι τὸν νόμον τοῦτον λέγων
- Hebrew (WLC)
- בְּעֵ֥בֶר הַיַּרְדֵּ֖ן בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מוֹאָ֑ב הוֹאִ֣יל מֹשֶׁ֔ה בֵּאֵ֛ר אֶת הַתּוֹרָ֥ה הַזֹּ֖את לֵאמֹֽר
Haydock's commentary
Expound. He begins, as usual, with commemorating the wonders of God, in favour of an ungrateful people. This book may be considered as a supplement to the other four books. (Calmet)
We need not wonder, therefore, if we find some new observations. The reason why the sabbath is to be kept, is here said to be in the memory of the law being given to the Hebrews, and their liberation from slavery; (chap. v. 15,) whereas in Exodus, it seems to be designed to remind people that God rested on the seventh day. But here is no contradiction. (Watson)
