Episode description

At the end of Moshe's life, he gathers the entire nation for his parting message to the nation. The Midrash makes a remarkable contrast between Moshe's beginning and end of his tenure: When God initially commanded Moshe to save his brethren from enslavement in Egypt, Moshe protested by saying that he is not a man of words. That was 40 years before our Parsha. Our Parsha begins, "these are the words that Moshe said...." The man who was not a man of words has become one. What does it mean to be a man of words? What is the nature of Moshe's transformation and what can it teach us about leadership and influence?
