1 And Moses went and spake these words unto all Is­rael. 2 And he said unto them, I am an hun­dred and twen­ty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jor­dan. 3 The LORD thy God, he will go over be­fore thee, and he will de­stroy these na­tions from be­fore thee, and thou shalt pos­sess them: and Joshua, he shall go over be­fore thee, as the LORD hath said. 4 And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Si­hon and to Og, kings of the Amor­ites, and unto the land of them, whom he de­stroyed. 5 And the LORD shall give them up be­fore your face, that ye may do unto them ac­cord­ing unto all the com­mand­ments which I have com­mand­ed you. 6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor for­sake thee. 7 And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Is­rael, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this peo­ple unto the land which the LORD hath sworn unto their fa­thers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to in­her­it it. 8 And the LORD, he it is that doth go be­fore thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, nei­ther for­sake thee: fear not, nei­ther be dis­mayed. 9 And Moses wrote this law, and de­liv­ered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the el­ders of Is­rael. 10 And Moses com­mand­ed them, say­ing, At the end of every sev­en years, in the solem­ni­ty of the year of re­lease, in the feast of taber­na­cles, 11 When all Is­rael is come to ap­pear be­fore the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law be­fore all Is­rael in their hear­ing. 12 Gath­er the peo­ple to­geth­er, men, and wom­en, and chil­dren, and thy stranger that is with­in thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and ob­serve to do all the words of this law: 13 And that their chil­dren, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whith­er ye go over Jor­dan to pos­sess it. 14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Be­hold, thy days ap­proach that thou must die: call Joshua, and pre­sent your­selves in the taber­na­cle of the con­gre­ga­tion, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and pre­sent­ed them­selves in the taber­na­cle of the con­gre­ga­tion. 15 And the LORD ap­peared in the taber­na­cle in a pil­lar of a cloud: and the pil­lar of the cloud stood over the door of the taber­na­cle. 16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Be­hold, thou shalt sleep with thy fa­thers; and this peo­ple will rise up, and go a whor­ing af­ter the gods of the strangers of the land, whith­er they go ­to be among them, and will for­sake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them. 17 Then my anger shall be kin­dled 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, Are not these evils come upon us, be­cause our God is not among us? 18 And I will sure­ly hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto oth­er gods. 19 Now there­fore write ye this song for you, and teach it the chil­dren of Is­rael: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a wit­ness for me against the chil­dren of Is­rael. 20 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fa­thers, that floweth with milk and hon­ey; and they shall have eat­en and filled them­selves, and wax­en fat; then will they turn unto oth­er gods, and serve them, and pro­voke me, and break my covenant. 21 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and trou­bles are be­fall­en them, that this song shall tes­ti­fy against them as a wit­ness; for it shall not be for­got­ten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imag­i­na­tion which they go about, even now, be­fore I have brought them into the land which I sware. 22 Moses there­fore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the chil­dren of Is­rael. 23 And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the chil­dren of Is­rael into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee. 24 And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writ­ing the words of this law in a book, un­til they were fin­ished, 25 That Moses com­mand­ed the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, say­ing, 26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a wit­ness against thee. 27 For I know thy re­bel­lion, and thy stiff neck: be­hold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been re­bel­lious against the LORD; and how much more af­ter my death? 28 Gath­er unto me all the el­ders of your tribes, and your of­fi­cers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heav­en and earth to record against them. 29 For I know that af­ter my death ye will ut­ter­ly cor­rupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have com­mand­ed you; and evil will be­fall you in the lat­ter days; be­cause ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to pro­voke him to anger through the work of your hands. 30 And Moses spake in the ears of all the con­gre­ga­tion of Is­rael the words of this song, un­til they were end­ed.
