Who's talking - is this Moshe giving a speech from his will, or did Hashem command Moshe to give this speech??  B. Why does the Torah go into so much detail where exactly Am Yisrael are?! ➡️  Tuvia and Yitzi talk Parsha; Devarim \ Dvarim - פרשת דברים

Rather, he's angry that their request, might make the rest of Am Yisrael nervous about entering the Land of Yisrael - and we'll get a 2nd situation similar to the Meraglim...  Why doesn't Moshe care about them not wanting to enter the Land of Israel?   But on top of that, it's clear from the Midrashim, that they did do something wrong at the end of the day, even with the deal they did with Moshe - so if they have a deal - what's so wrong about this?!   What's actually going on here with the 2.5 Shvatim??

What's going on??  Didn't Hashem tell him to go to Balak?!  Bilaam sounds like a real Tzadik - that only cares about Hashem's will - so why is Hashem so angry at him?!

This week, Moshe Rabeinu in one of his last speeches to Am Yisrael refers to "this Mitzvah" and says that it's not far away, up in the sky or over the seas, but is in Am Yisrael's hearts to do. What Mitzvah is Moshe Rabeinu talking about? But further, when reading the psukim, it raises the contrast to when Am Yisrael got the Torah, and they said the famous "נעשה ונשמע", "We shall do and (only then) we shall listen", and it seems that here Moshe is describing the exact opposite situation - where Am Yisrael will complain they need someone to go bring it to them and explain it all and only then they will do it... What happened to Am Yisrael? Why is Moshe describing such an opposite attitude??

Why does the Torah emphasize the time aspect? Why doesn't the Torah just say "make sure to pay up"...?  And even more than that, the Torah says, that if a person doesn't pay on time, it's a sin, and if a person doesn't vow at all - then there's no sin - why does the Torah have to tell us that?   What's even the thought that a person would sin, if they don't vow...?!

What is Moshe saying -- is there even a thought to do something like this to our Mitzvot, to the Mishkan??   What does Moshe mean with this commandment?  How important is it, to have a Place for to go to? And how does this connect to Chodesh Elul?
