Devarim (Deuteronomy) Chapter 31

10Moses then commanded them, saying, “At the end of every seven years, at an appointed time after the year of release, on the Festival of Sukot,   יוַיְצַ֥ו משֶׁ֖ה אוֹתָ֣ם לֵאמֹ֑ר מִקֵּ֣ץ | שֶׁ֣בַע שָׁנִ֗ים בְּמֹעֵ֛ד שְׁנַ֥ת הַשְּׁמִטָּ֖ה בְּחַ֥ג הַסֻּכּֽוֹת:
מִקֵּץ שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים - At the end of seven years - i.e., in the first year of the new sabbatical cycle, i.e., in the eighth year of the previous cycle. And why does Scripture call it שְׁנַת הַשְּׁמִטָּה “the year of release”? For some laws of the year of release still apply then, regarding the harvest of the seventh-year produce that takes place in the year following the seventh.   מִקֵּץ שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים.  בְּשָׁנָה רִאשׁוֹנָה שֶׁל שְׁמִטָּה — בַּשְּׁמִינִית, וְלָמָּה קוֹרֵא אוֹתָהּ שנת השמטה? שֶׁעֲדַיִּן שְׁבִיעִית נוֹהֶגֶת בָּהּ, בַּקָּצִיר שֶׁל שְׁבִיעִית הַיּוֹצֵא לְמוֹצָאֵי שְׁבִיעִית:
11when all Israel comes to appear before God, your God, in the place He will choose, i.e., the Temple, you must read from this Torah before all Israel, so they hear it with their ears.   יאבְּב֣וֹא כָל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל לֵֽרָאוֹת֙ אֶת־פְּנֵי֙ יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ בַּמָּק֖וֹם אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִבְחָ֑ר תִּקְרָ֞א אֶת־הַתּוֹרָ֥ה הַזֹּ֛את נֶ֥גֶד כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּאָזְנֵיהֶֽם:
תִּקְרָא אֶת־הַתּוֹרָה הַזֹּאת - You must read this Torah. The king would read from the beginning of the Book of Deuteronomy, as stated in Tractate Sotah, 1 on a wooden platform that was erected in the Courtyard so that all could hear.   תִּקְרָא אֶת־הַתּוֹרָה הַזֹּאת.  הַמֶּלֶךְ הָיָה קוֹרֵא מִתְּחִלַּת "אֵלֶּה הַדְּבָרִים", כִּדְאִיתָא בְמַסֶּכֶת סוֹטָה (דף מ"א) עַל בִּימָה שֶׁל עֵץ שֶׁהָיוּ עוֹשִׂין בָּעֲזָרָה:
12Assemble the people—the men, women, and children, including your converts, whom you have accepted into your cities—in order that they hear, in order that they learn the Torah, and revere God, your God. Thus, they will safeguard the Torah by studying its instructions regarding how to do all that is taught in the words of this Torah.   יבהַקְהֵ֣ל אֶת־הָעָ֗ם הָֽאֲנָשִׁ֤ים וְהַנָּשִׁים֙ וְהַטַּ֔ף וְגֵֽרְךָ֖ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בִּשְׁעָרֶ֑יךָ לְמַ֨עַן יִשְׁמְע֜וּ וּלְמַ֣עַן יִלְמְד֗וּ וְיָֽרְאוּ֙ אֶת־יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֔ם וְשָֽׁמְר֣וּ לַֽעֲשׂ֔וֹת אֶת־כָּל־דִּבְרֵ֖י הַתּוֹרָ֥ה הַזֹּֽאת:
הָֽאֲנָשִׁים - The men - come to learn.   הָֽאֲנָשִׁים.  לִלְמֹד:
וְהַנָּשִׁים - The women - come just to hear.   וְהַנָּשִׁים.  לִשְׁמֹעַ:
וְהַטַּף - And the children. Why do they come? So that those who bring them be rewarded for doing so.   וְהַטַּף.  לָמָּה בָא? לָתֵת שָׂכָר לִמְבִיאֵיהֶם (חגיגה ג'):
13Their children, who did not know about the importance of religious behavior, must hear and learn to revere God, your God, all the days that you live in the land that you are crossing the Jordan River to possess.”   יגוּבְנֵיהֶ֞ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹא־יָֽדְע֗וּ יִשְׁמְעוּ֙ וְלָ֣מְד֔וּ לְיִרְאָ֖ה אֶת־יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֑ם כָּל־הַיָּמִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר אַתֶּ֤ם חַיִּים֙ עַל־הָ֣אֲדָמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר אַתֶּ֜ם עֹֽבְרִ֧ים אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּ֛ן שָׁ֖מָּה לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ:
