“אלה הדברים אשר דבר משה אל כל ישראל בעבר הירדן”
Moshe stands at the edge of the Yarden and looks back across forty years.
A wilderness that should have killed them. Serpents, scorpions, thirst, mountains, and the last giant on earth standing between them and the land.
They didn’t survive it. They were carried through it.
▸ The manna — falling soft as snow, sealed between two layers of dew
▸ Clothing that never wore out in forty years
▸ The clouds that flattened the mountains before them
▸ The serpents turned back at the edge of the camp
▸ נחל ארנון — the ambush they never knew was waiting
▸ עוג מלך הבשן — the last of the Rephaim
“וזכרת את כל הדרך אשר הוליכך”
