Síntesis del Episodio

The unity of the Jewish people "All of you stand today before Hashem, your Elohim, the leaders of your tribes, the elders, the officials, all the men of Israel, the children, the women, and even the stranger who lives with you, from the woodcutter to the water carrier."
The future redemption Moshe warns that the land will be exiled and lonely if the people abandon Hashem's laws. However, he predicts that in the end, "You will return to Elohim… Even if you're scattered across the globe, G-d will bring you back to the land your ancestors owned." The practical side of the Torah: This commandment I'm giving you today isn't too difficult to understand or too far away. It's not up there in the sky... It's not across the sea... It's right there with you, in your mouth and your heart.
Free will: "Look, I'm setting out for you today the options of life and good, and death and evil... And you get to choose life. The section of Vaielech (and he went) describes what happened on the last day of Moshe's life on earth. Moshe tells the people, "I'm 120 today. I can't go out and come in anymore."
Moshe passes on the leadership to Joshua and writes (or finishes writing) the Torah in a scroll which he entrusts to the Levites for safekeeping in the Ark of the Covenant.
Every seven years, during the festival of Sukkot of the first year of the Shemita cycle (sabbatical year), the entire Jewish people, men, women, and children, must gather at the Temple in Jerusalem, where the king must read from the Torah in front of them. Vaielech ends with the prediction that the Jewish people will turn away from the covenant with Elohim, which will cause it to become hidden. However, it also promises that the words of the Torah "will not be forgotten from the mouths of your descendants."
