Deuteronomy 32:44 Made Simple

And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Moses came and spoke all the words of this song to the people, along with Joshua (whose original name was Hoshea), the son of Nun.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Moses shared his final song with all the Israelites, with Joshua by his side as his successor.

📚 Historical Context

This occurs at the very end of Moses' life as he prepares to die and pass leadership to Joshua. The 'song' refers to the Song of Moses in Deuteronomy 32, which was a prophetic poem warning Israel about future unfaithfulness and God's continued mercy. Hoshea was Joshua's original name before Moses changed it, and he's identified here as the son of Nun to distinguish him from other men named Joshua.
