The Completion of the Law
Commentators agree that this verse marks the completion of the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible) by Moses. John Calvin explains that while God gave the Ten Commandments directly, He willed for this more detailed law to be written down. This preserved God's full instruction for posterity, protecting it from human error, forgetfulness, or intentional corruption.
