The ninth section of the Book of Deuteronomy continues the description of Moses’ third and final farewell address to the Jewish people. It begins with the account of how Moses went (Vayeilech, in Hebrew) and installed Joshua as his successor, and continues with the account of how Moses wrote down the Torah and commanded the people to assemble every seven years to hear it read in the holy Temple.

Daily Quote
For two-and-a--half years, the House of Shammai and the House of Hillel debated. These said: It is better for man not to have been created than to have been created; and those said: It is better for man to have been created than to not have been created. In the end, they voted on it and concluded: It is better for man not to have been created than to have been created; but now that he was created, he should search his deeds.
–Talmud, Eruvin 13b
