Contextual Overview

1These [are] the words which Moses has spoken to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain opposite Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-Zahab. 2[It takes] eleven days [to go] from Horeb, the way of Mount Seir, to Kadesh-Barnea. 3And it comes to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, Moses has spoken to the sons of Israel according to all that YHWH has commanded him concerning them,4after his striking Sihon king of the Amorite who is dwelling in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan who is dwelling in Ashtaroth in Edrei. 5Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses has begun to explain this law, saying, 6"Our God YHWH has spoken to us in Horeb, saying, For you dwell at this mountain long enough; 7turn and journey for yourselves, and go to the mountain of the Amorite, and to all its neighboring places in the plain, in the hill-country, and in the low country, and in the south, and in the haven of the sea, the land of the Canaanite, and of Lebanon, as far as the great river, the Euphrates River; 8see, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land which YHWH has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass in the fortieth year,.... That is, of the coming of the children of Israel out of Egypt:

in the eleventh month; the month Shebet, as the Targum of Jonathan, which answers to part of January and part of February:

in the first day of the month, that Moses spoke unto the children of Israel according to all that the Lord had given him in commandment unto them; repeated to them the several commandments, which the Lord had delivered to him at different times.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Deuteronomy 1:3. The fortieth year — This was a melancholy year to the Hebrews in different respects; in the first month of this year Miriam died, Numbers 20:1; on the first day of the fifth month Aaron died, Numbers 33:38; and about the conclusion of it, Moses himself died.
