In the sixth reading (, aliyah), God continued that when God will have brought the Israelites into the land flowing with milk and honey (, chalav udevash), they will have eaten their fill, grown fat, turned to other gods, and broken the covenant, then when many evils will have come upon them, this song would testify before them as a witness.. So Moses wrote the song that day and taught it to the Israelites.. And God charged Joshua to be strong and courageous, for he would bring the Israelites into the land that God had sworn to them, and God would be with him.. And Moses finished writing the law in a book.. The sixth reading (, aliyah) ends here.See, e.g., The Schottenstein Edition Interlinear Chumash: Devarim / Deuteronomy. Edited by Menachem Davis, page 202.
