15 And the LORD H3068 appeared H7200 in the tabernacle H168 in a pillar H5982 of a cloud: H6051 and the pillar H5982 of the cloud H6051 stood H5975 over the door H6607 of the tabernacle. H168
And it came to pass, as Moses H4872 entered H935 into the tabernacle, H168 the cloudy H6051 pillar H5982 descended, H3381 and stood H5975 at the door H6607 of the tabernacle, H168 and the LORD talked H1696 with Moses. H4872 And all the people H5971 saw H7200 the cloudy H6051 pillar H5982 stand H5975 at the tabernacle H168 door: H6607 and all the people H5971 rose up H6965 and worshipped, H7812 every man H376 in his tent H168 door.

Commentary on Deuteronomy 31 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 31
In this chapter Moses, having finished his sermon,
Deu 31:1-8
Loth to part (we say) bids oft farewell. Moses does so to the children of Israel: not because he was loth to go to God, but because he was loth to leave them, fearing that when he had left them they would leave God. He had finished what he had to say to them by way of counsel and exhortation: here he calls them together to give them a word of encouragement, especially with reference to the wars of Canaan, in which they were now to engage. It was a discouragement to them that Moses was to be removed at a time when he could so ill be spared: though Joshua was continued to fight for them in the valley, they would want Moses to intercede for them on the hill, as he did, Ex. 17:10. But there is no remedy: Moses can no more go out and come in, v. 2. Not that he was disabled by any decay either of body or mind; for his natural force was not abated, ch. 34:7. But he cannot any longer discharge his office; for,
Deu 31:9-13
The law was given by Moses; so it is said, Jn. 1:17. He was not only entrusted to deliver it to that generation, but to transmit it to the generations to come; and here it appears that he was faithful to that trust.
