לֹ֧א בַסֵּ֣תֶר דִּבַּ֗רְתִּי בִּמְקוֹם֙ אֶ֣רֶץ חֹ֔שֶׁךְ לֹ֥א אָמַ֛רְתִּי לְזֶ֥רַע יַעֲקֹ֖ב תֹּ֣הוּ בַקְּשׁ֑וּנִי אֲנִ֤י יְהוָה֙ דֹּבֵ֣ר צֶ֔דֶק מַגִּ֖יד מֵישָׁרִֽים׃
Hindi Ako nagsalita nang lihim, sa isang dako ng lupain ng kadiliman; hindi Ko sinabi sa lahi ni Jacob, “Hanapin ninyo Ako nang walang kabuluhan.” Ako ang Walang-Hanggan, na nagsasalita ng katuwiran at nagpapahayag ng mga bagay na matuwid.
Ibn Ezra
The correct interpretation of These are the words is that the commandments written in the upcoming parashiyyot of Re eh , Shofeṭim , Ki Teṣeh , and Ki Tavo had already been given to the Israelites when they were in the wilderness. In other words, the phrase that Moshe spoke is modified by the entire remainder of the verse, as if Scripture had repeated it, saying: “These are the words that Moshe spoke to all Israel, which Moshe had spoken in the wilderness, and in the desert across the Red Sea…” starting from the day that they left Sinai.
