Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
This is evidently an introduction to the discourse of the subsequent chapters. Moses having practically improved some particulars in the history of Israel, proceeded to repeat and enforce the laws which he had delivered before, with additions and explanations, beginning with the ten commandments. Deuteronomy 1:5, Deuteronomy 17:18, Deuteronomy 17:19, Deuteronomy 27:3, Deuteronomy 27:8, Deuteronomy 27:26, Deuteronomy 33:4, Leviticus 27:34, Numbers 36:13, Malachi 4:4, John 1:17

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel. Not the law concerning the cities of refuge, but the law of the ten commands repeated in the following chapter; so Jarchi remarks,
"this which he should set in order after this section;''
as he does in the next chapter, where he repeats in order the ten precepts, and makes observations on the manner of the delivery of them, and urges obedience to them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
These verses would be more properly assigned to the next chapter. They are intended to serve as the announcement and introduction of the address now to be commenced. Deuteronomy 4:44 gives a kind of general title to the whole of the weighty address, including in fact the central part and substance of the book, which now follows in 22 chapters, divided into two groups:
(a) Deut. 5–11,
(b) Deut. 12–26.
The address was delivered when they had already received the first-fruits of those promises Deuteronomy 4:46, the full fruition of which was to be consequent on their fulfillment of that covenant now again about to be rehearsed to them in its leading features.
Deuteronomy 4:48
Sion must not be confounded with Zion (compare Psalms 48:2.).
