31Then Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.H4872H3212H1696H1697H3478 2And he said to them: "I am one hundred and twenty years old today. I can no longer go out and come in. Also the LORD has said to me, 'You shall not cross over this Jordan.'H559H3967H6242H8141H1121H3117H3201H3318H935H3068H559H5674H3383 3"The LORD your God Himself crosses over before you; He will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua himself crosses over before you, just as the LORD has said.H3068H430H5674H6440H8045H1471H6440H3423H3091H5674H6440H3068H1696 4"And the LORD will do to them as He did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites and their land, when He destroyed them.H3068H6213H6213H5511H5747H4428H567H776H8045 5"The LORD will give them over to you, that you may do to them according to every commandment which I have commanded you.H3068H5414H6440H6213H4687H6680 6"Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you."H2388H553H3372H6206H6440H3068H430H1980H7503H5800 7Then Moses called Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, "Be strong and of good courage, for you must go with this people to the land which the LORD has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall cause them to inherit it.H4872H7121H3091H559H5869H3478H2388H553H935H5971H776H3068H7650H1H5414H5157 8"And the LORD, He is the one who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed."H3068H1980H6440H7503H5800H3372H2865 9So Moses wrote this law and delivered it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and to all the elders of Israel.H4872H3789H8451H5414H3548H1121H3878H5375H727H1285H3068H2205H3478 10And Moses commanded them, saying: "At the end of every seven years, at the appointed time in the year of release, at the Feast of Tabernacles,H4872H6680H559H7093H7651H8141H4150H8141H8059H2282H5521 11"when all Israel comes to appear before the LORD your God in the place which He chooses, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.H3478H935H7200H6440H3068H430H4725H977H7121H8451H3478H241 12"Gather the people together, men and women and little ones, and the stranger who is within your gates, that they may hear and that they may learn to fear the LORD your God and carefully observe all the words of this law,H6950H5971H6950H582H802H2945H1616H8179H8085H3925H3372H3068H430H8104H6213H1697H8451 13"and that their children, who have not known it, may hear and learn to fear the LORD your God as long as you live in the land which you cross the Jordan to possess."H1121H3045H8085H3925H3372H3068H430H3117H2416H127H5674H3383H3423 14Then the LORD said to Moses, "Behold, the days approach when you must die; call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of meeting, that I may inaugurate him." So Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves in the tabernacle of meeting.H3068H559H4872H3117H7126H4191H7121H3091H3320H168H4150H6680H4872H3091H3212H3320H168H4150 15Now the LORD appeared at the tabernacle in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood above the door of the tabernacle.H3068H7200H168H5982H6051H5982H6051H5975H6607H168 16And the LORD said to Moses: "Behold, you will rest with your fathers; and this people will rise and play the harlot with the gods of the foreigners of the land, where they go to be among them, and they will forsake Me and break My covenant which I have made with them.H3068H559H4872H7901H1H5971H6965H2181H310H430H5236H776H935H7130H5800H6565H1285H3772 17"Then My anger shall be aroused against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide My face from them, and they shall be devoured. And many evils and troubles shall befall them, so that they will say in that day, 'Have not these evils come upon us because our God is not among us?'H639H2734H3117H5800H5641H6440H398H7227H7451H6869H4672H559H3117H7451H4672H430H7130 18"And I will surely hide My face in that day because of all the evil which they have done, in that they have turned to other gods.H5641H5641H6440H3117H7451H6213H3588H6437H312H430 19"Now therefore, write down this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel; put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for Me against the children of Israel.H3789H7892H3925H1121H3478H7760H6310H7892H5707H1121H3478 20"When I have brought them to the land flowing with milk and honey, of which I swore to their fathers, and they have eaten and filled themselves and grown fat, then they will turn to other gods and serve them; and they will provoke Me and break My covenant.H935H127H7650H1H2100H2461H1706H398H7646H1878H6437H312H430H5647H5006H6565H1285 21"Then it shall be, when many evils and troubles have come upon them, that this song will testify against them as a witness; for it will not be forgotten in the mouths of their descendants, for I know the inclination of their behavior today, even before I have brought them to the land of which I swore to give them."H7227H7451H6869H4672H7892H6030H6440H5707H7911H6310H2233H3045H3336H6213H3117H935H776H7650 22Therefore Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel.H4872H3789H7892H3117H3925H1121H3478 23Then He inaugurated Joshua the son of Nun, and said, "Be strong and of good courage; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land of which I swore to them, and I will be with you."H3091H1121H5126H6680H559H2388H553H935H1121H3478H776H7650 24So it was, when Moses had completed writing the words of this law in a book, when they were finished,H4872H3615H3789H1697H8451H5612H8552 25that Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying:H4872H6680H3881H5375H727H1285H3068H559 26"Take this Book of the Law, and put it beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there as a witness against you;H3947H5612H8451H7760H6654H727H1285H3068H430H5707 27"for I know your rebellion and your stiff neck. If today, while I am yet alive with you, you have been rebellious against the LORD, then how much more after my death?H3045H4805H7186H6203H2416H3117H4784H3068H310H4194 28"Gather to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their hearing and call heaven and earth to witness against them.H6950H2205H7626H7860H1696H1697H241H5749H8064H776H5749 29"For I know that after my death you will become utterly corrupt, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days, because you will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger through the work of your hands."H3045H310H4194H7843H7843H5493H1870H6680H7451H7122H319H3117H6213H7451H5869H3068H3707H4639H3027 30Then Moses spoke in the hearing of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song until they were ended:H4872H1696H241H6951H3478H1697H7892H8552
