The Portion of Haazinu

הַאֲזִינוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם וַאֲדַבֵּרָה וְתִשְׁמַע הָאָרֶץ אִמְרֵי־פִי׃ Give ear, O heavens, let me speak; Let the earth hear the words I utter! ha-a-ZEE-nu ha-sha-MA-yim va-a-da-BAY-ra v'-tish-MA ha-A-retz im-ray FEE כִּי מִנֶּגֶד תִּרְאֶה אֶת־הָאָרֶץ וְשָׁמָּה לֹא תָבוֹא אֶל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר־אֲנִי נֹתֵן לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ You may view the land from a distance, but you shall not enter it—the land that I am giving to B'neiYisrael.
The portion of Haazinu contains the song mentioned in last week’s portion, which God told Moses to teach the Children of Israel so they would always understand the consequences of their actions. It ends with Moses preparing to die before the people cross into the Promised Land.
