32:39-42
Then they would realise that the Lord is the only God. He is the One who gives life and takes it away. He is the one who wounds and heals. “No one can deliver out of my hand”, see also John 17:12. Israel would suffer judgement for a time, but those who attacked Israel would also suffer the wrath of God.
32:43-47
“Rejoice, you nations, with His people” Why should the nations rejoice? They could either fight the Lord or share in His salvation. This is still the choice for all peoples on earth.

Moses spoke all these words to the people, they were to learn the words of this song. They were not just words, but life. The word of the Lord gives life.
32:48-52
Moses is now about to die, but is allowed to see the land of Canaan. So God tells him to go up Mount Nebo. There he would die, but not before viewing Canaan. God also reminds Moses of the reason that he is not being allowed to enter the Promised Land.
