1. Why does Moshe begin in Devarim 1:1 with 'אֵלֶּה', that is different from elsewhere, and where are these Devarim? 2. How can Bnei Yisrael be in all these places at the same time... 1. Why does Moshe begin in Devarim 1:1 with 'אֵלֶּה', that is different from elsewhere, and where are these Devarim? 2. How can Bnei Yisrael be in all these places at the same time, and some of these places aren't even mentioned in the leich? 3. Why does it say 'יְשׁוּב' to die and not just 'מוות'?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for explanations related to a scriptural text, specifically regarding Moshe's actions and specific locations mentioned. It requires understanding the context in Jewish religious texts and their interpretations.
Answer
1. 'אֵלֶּה' marks a new discourse. Locations are symbolic rebukes. 2. Places are symbolic, not literal. 3. 'יְשׁוּב' means returning to one's fate.
- 'אֵלֶּה' signifies a new section and emphasizes the distinct discourse of Devarim. These locations refer to rebukes for past transgressions. 2. These places are symbolic, representing events or challenges faced, not literal simultaneous locations. 3. 'יְשׁוּב' implies returning to one's ultimate fate or completion of a life cycle.

More Information
The usage of 'אֵלֶּה' as an introduction is to emphasize that Moses is recounting past events with specific reference to their significance. Bnei Yisrael's mentioned locations serve to highlight lessons rather than geography. 'יְשׁוּב' adds a spiritual dimension to death as a return.
Tips
A common mistake is taking the locations literally as current instead of symbolic for teaching purposes.
