Artscroll p.1094-1098 Parshat Vayelech Deuteronomy 31:1 Haftarah Hosea "And Moses went and he spoke the words to the Children of Israel." 14:2-10 To where did Moses go to? The Torah only says "And Moses went," but doesn't say where he went or why. The Ramban explains that after Moses finished his Micah 7:18-20 address to the people they returned to their tents. Now Moses wanted to bid Joel 2:15-27 them farewell before his death. This was a message and he wanted to deliver it personally. And so "he went" from the Camp of the Levites, where he resided, to Hertz p.891 the Camp of Israel, and personally bade them farewell. Moses could just as Artscroll p. 1204 easily have called the people to assemble before him. But his humility prevented him from exploiting his lofty position as leader. Instead, he personally went DAILY SERVICES from tribe to tribe to make his last farewells. Moses' modesty is thus as evident on the last day of service as it was on his first day, forty years earlier, when he Sunday was chosen to lead them. At that time he said in his self-effacing manner, "Who Selichot 8:35 am am I that I shall go to Pharaoh?" (Exodus 3:12).
