Joshua to Succeed Moses

31Then Moses went out and spoke these words to all Israel:H4872H3212H1696H1697H3478 2"I am now a hundred and twenty years old and I am no longer able to lead you. The LORD has said to me, 'You shall not cross the Jordan.'H559H3967H6242H8141H1121H3117H3201H3318H935H3068H559H5674H3383 3The LORD your God himself will cross over ahead of you. He will destroy these nations before you, and you will take possession of their land. Joshua also will cross over ahead of you, as the LORD said.H3068H430H5674H6440H8045H1471H6440H3423H3091H5674H6440H3068H1696 4And the LORD will do to them what he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, whom he destroyed along with their land.H3068H6213H6213H5511H5747H4428H567H776H8045 5The LORD will deliver them to you, and you must do to them all that I have commanded you.H3068H5414H6440H6213H4687H6680 6Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."H2388H553H3372H6206H6440H3068H430H1980H7503H5800 7Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, "Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the LORD swore to their forefathers to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance.H4872H7121H3091H559H5869H3478H2388H553H935H5971H776H3068H7650H1H5414H5157 8The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."H3068H1980H6440H7503H5800H3372H2865

Public Reading of the Law

9So Moses wrote down this law and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and to all the elders of Israel.H4872H3789H8451H5414H3548H1121H3878H5375H727H1285H3068H2205H3478 10Then Moses commanded them: "At the end of every seven years, in the year for canceling debts, during the Feast of Tabernacles,H4872H6680H559H7093H7651H8141H4150H8141H8059H2282H5521 11when all Israel comes to appear before the LORD your God at the place he will choose, you shall read this law before them in their hearing.H3478H935H7200H6440H3068H430H4725H977H7121H8451H3478H241 12Assemble the people—men, women and children, and the aliens living in your towns—so they can listen and learn to fear the LORD your God and follow carefully all the words of this law.H6950H5971H6950H582H802H2945H1616H8179H8085H3925H3372H3068H430H8104H6213H1697H8451 13Their children, who do not know this law, must hear it and learn to fear the LORD your God as long as you live in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess."H1121H3045H8085H3925H3372H3068H430H3117H2416H127H5674H3383H3423

Israel’s Rebellion Predicted

14The LORD said to Moses, "Now the day of your death is near. Call Joshua and present yourselves at the Tent of Meeting, where I will commission him." So Moses and Joshua came and presented themselves at the Tent of Meeting.H3068H559H4872H3117H7126H4191H7121H3091H3320H168H4150H6680H4872H3091H3212H3320H168H4150 15Then the LORD appeared at the Tent in a pillar of cloud, and the cloud stood over the entrance to the Tent.H3068H7200H168H5982H6051H5982H6051H5975H6607H168 16And the LORD said to Moses: "You are going to rest with your fathers, and these people will soon prostitute themselves to the foreign gods of the land they are entering. They will forsake me and break the covenant I made with them.H3068H559H4872H7901H1H5971H6965H2181H310H430H5236H776H935H7130H5800H6565H1285H3772 17On that day I will become angry with them and forsake them; I will hide my face from them, and they will be destroyed. Many disasters and difficulties will come upon them, and on that day they will ask, 'Have not these disasters come upon us because our God is not with us?'H639H2734H3117H5800H5641H6440H398H7227H7451H6869H4672H559H3117H7451H4672H430H7130 18And I will certainly hide my face on that day because of all their wickedness in turning to other gods.H5641H5641H6440H3117H7451H6213H3588H6437H312H430 19"Now write down for yourselves this song and teach it to the Israelites and have them sing it, so that it may be a witness for me against them.H3789H7892H3925H1121H3478H7760H6310H7892H5707H1121H3478 20When I have brought them into the land flowing with milk and honey, the land I promised on oath to their forefathers, and when they eat their fill and thrive, they will turn to other gods and worship them, rejecting me and breaking my covenant.H935H127H7650H1H2100H2461H1706H398H7646H1878H6437H312H430H5647H5006H6565H1285 21And when many disasters and difficulties come upon them, this song will testify against them, because it will not be forgotten by their descendants. I know what they are disposed to do, even before I bring them into the land I promised them on oath."H7227H7451H6869H4672H7892H6030H6440H5707H7911H6310H2233H3045H3336H6213H3117H935H776H7650 22So Moses wrote down this song that day and taught it to the Israelites.H4872H3789H7892H3117H3925H1121H3478 23The LORD gave this command to Joshua son of Nun: "Be strong and courageous, for you will bring the Israelites into the land I promised them on oath, and I myself will be with you."H3091H1121H5126H6680H559H2388H553H935H1121H3478H776H7650 24After Moses finished writing in a book the words of this law from beginning to end,H4872H3615H3789H1697H8451H5612H8552 25he gave this command to the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD:H4872H6680H3881H5375H727H1285H3068H559 26"Take this Book of the Law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God. There it will remain as a witness against you.H3947H5612H8451H7760H6654H727H1285H3068H430H5707 27For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you have been rebellious against the LORD while I am still alive and with you, how much more will you rebel after I die!H3045H4805H7186H6203H2416H3117H4784H3068H310H4194 28Assemble before me all the elders of your tribes and all your officials, so that I can speak these words in their hearing and call heaven and earth to testify against them.H6950H2205H7626H7860H1696H1697H241H5749H8064H776H5749 29For I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly corrupt and to turn from the way I have commanded you. In days to come, disaster will fall upon you because you will do evil in the sight of the LORD and provoke him to anger by what your hands have made."H3045H310H4194H7843H7843H5493H1870H6680H7451H7122H319H3117H6213H7451H5869H3068H3707H4639H3027
