Contextual Overview

1 Moses, the man of God, gave this blessing to the Israelites before he died. 2 He said: "The Lord came from Mount Sinai and rose like the sun from Edom; he showed his greatness from Mount Paran. He came with thousands of angels from the southern mountains. 3 The Lord surely loves his people and takes care of all those who belong to him. They bow down at his feet, and they are taught by him. 4 Moses gave us the teachings that belong to the people of Jacob. 5 The Lord became king of Israel when the leaders of the people gathered, when the tribes of Israel came together.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Moses commanded us a law,.... The law was of God, it came forth from his right hand, Deuteronomy 33:2; it is of his enacting, a declaration of his will, and has his authority stamped upon it, who is the lawgiver, and which lays under obligation to regard it; but it was delivered to Moses, and by him to the children of Israel, on whom he urged obedience to it; and so it is said to come by him, and sometimes is called the law of Moses, see John 1:17;

[even] the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob; which either describes the persons who were commanded to keep the law, the tribes of Jacob or congregation of Israel, who were the Lord's people, portion, and inheritance, Deuteronomy 32:9; or the law commanded, which was to be valued, not only as a peculiar treasure, but to be considered a possession, an estate, an inheritance, to be continued among them, and to be transmitted to their posterity, see Psalms 119:111; these are the words of the people of Israel, and therefore are thus prefaced in the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem,

"the children of Israel said, Moses commanded, &c.''

they were represented by Moses.
