Why did Moshe review “the words of Torah” before Bnei Yisrael, even
though they already knew these mitzvot? Moreover, he gave each tribe a
Sefer Torah. What was the reason for this?

Parashat Devarim is read close to Tishah b’Av, when Yerushalayim was
destroyed due to the nation forsaking the Torah. Moshe wanted to impress
upon the people that they must make sure to study Torah and review it
constantly, so that they should not become weak in it and make light of
the mitzvot.

Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai states that when all Bnei Yisrael will observe
two Shabbatot correctly, the geulah will arrive. Shemirat Shabbat testifies
to the faith of its observer. Since faith is the foundation of the entire
Torah, whoever observes Shabbat is considered to be keeping all of the
mitzvot. Furthermore, between every two Shabbatot, there are eight days.
Eight indicates a level above the laws of nature. Hashem tells us, “You
keep the Shabbat with supernatural devotion, and I will bend the laws of
nature and bring you the redemption.”
Pinchas merited twelve miracles by his meritorious act. This was because
he constantly sought the correct halachic opinion and always reviewed
what Moshe, his teacher, had taught him.
