The great song of Moses: exegetical analysis of Deut 32:1–43

The Great Song of Moses (Exegetical Analysis of Deut 32:1–43) The present article contains the comprehensive analysis of one of the most important poetical texts of the Pentateuch — the great song of Moses (Deut 32:1–43). The author considers the isagogical issues related to the God-inspired hymn: authorship, structure, liturgical use and others. He also gives a detailed exegetical analysis of every verse, constantly referring to the Masoretic text, the Septuagint, new translations and using both the interpretations of domestic exegetists and the commentaries of Western Biblical scholars. Due to the lack of modern monographs on this topic in Russian theological literature one may hope that the present research will be of interest to everyone who studies the Holy Scripture.
