Deuteronômio 31:12 Cabalá: Zohar, Ohr Ne'erav & Maggid Meisharim

AND MOSES AS SEMBLED. R. Abba cited in connection with this the verse: “Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones” (Deut. 31, 12). ‘Just as there’, he said, ‘the gathering comprised the whole of Israel, so here also Moses assembled the whole of Israel; to wit, the six hundred thousand men.’

How much more so will he who fears the Lord (Exod. 9:20) give more love, awe, fear, and humility, will he worry because of his sins, and will he be concerned lest he increase his sins with the iniquity of erring in the statements [concerning] the knowledge of the holy God (Josh. 24:19) lest his soul offer itself in restitution (Isa. 53:10). His only recourse (Esther 4:11) and the territory of his inheritance (Deut. 32:9) is to strip himself, and to cut and offer [himself] as a complete sin offering. He will be morally strong to bind with a bond forbidding (Num. 30:3) that which he has not heard from his teachers. He makes even all his paths (Prov. 5:21) and the utterances of his lips (Ps. 21:3). For if he falls (Deut. 22:8), who will raise him up? (Gen. 49:9). The Lord alone will lead him, and there is no strange god with him (Deut. 31:12) who has apportioned to test in them and afflicted [them] because of their iniquities (Ps. 107.17).

But behold, there is what to be precise about in this section: Why is, And Moses congregated, stated in this place, whereas it is not like this in the whole Torah except for the section, Congregate the people, the men, the women and the infants (Deuteronomy 31:12). But in Parashat Netzavim [HaYom Kulchem], the expression, congregation, is not mentioned. Moreover, why is, the entire community of the House of Israel, mentioned here, while it is not found like this in other places. Furthermore, He already commanded about in Parashat Terumah.
