And Moses{H4872} went{H3212} and spake{H1696} these words{H1697} unto all Israel.{H3478}

And he said{H559} unto them, I am a hundred{H3967} and twenty{H6242} years{H8141} old{H1121} this day;{H3117} I can{H3201} no more go out{H3318} and come in:{H935} and Jehovah{H3068} hath said{H559} unto me, Thou shalt not go over{H5674} this Jordan.{H3383}

Jehovah{H3068} thy God,{H430} he will go over{H5674} before{H6440} thee; he will destroy{H8045} these nations{H1471} from before{H6440} thee, and thou shalt dispossess{H3423} them: [and] Joshua,{H3091} he shall go over{H5674} before{H6440} thee, as Jehovah{H3068} hath spoken.{H1696}

And Jehovah{H3068} will do{H6213} unto them as he did{H6213} to Sihon{H5511} and to Og,{H5747} the kings{H4428} of the Amorites,{H567} and unto their land;{H776} whom he destroyed.{H8045}

And Jehovah{H3068} will deliver them up{H5414} before you,{H6440} and ye shall do{H6213} unto them according unto all the commandment{H4687} which I have commanded{H6680} you.

Be strong{H2388} and of good courage,{H553} fear{H3372} not, nor be affrighted{H6206} at them:{H6440} for Jehovah{H3068} thy God,{H430} he it is that doth go{H1980} with thee; he will not fail{H7503} thee, nor forsake{H5800} thee.

And Moses{H4872} called{H7121} unto Joshua,{H3091} and said{H559} unto him in the sight{H5869} of all Israel,{H3478} Be strong{H2388} and of good courage:{H553} for thou shalt go{H935} with this people{H5971} into the land{H776} which Jehovah{H3068} hath sworn{H7650} unto their fathers{H1} to give{H5414} them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit{H5157} it.

And Jehovah,{H3068} he it is that doth go{H1980} before{H6440} thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail{H7503} thee, neither forsake{H5800} thee: fear{H3372} not, neither be dismayed.{H2865}

And Moses{H4872} wrote{H3789} this law,{H8451} and delivered{H5414} it unto the priests{H3548} the sons{H1121} of Levi,{H3878} that bare{H5375} the ark{H727} of the covenant{H1285} of Jehovah,{H3068} and unto all the elders{H2205} of Israel.{H3478}

And Moses{H4872} commanded{H6680} them, saying,{H559} At the end{H7093} of [every] seven{H7651} years,{H8141} in the set{H4150} time of the year{H8141} of release,{H8059} in the feast{H2282} of tabernacles,{H5521}

when all Israel{H3478} is come{H935} to appear{H7200} before{H6440} Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} in the place{H4725} which he shall choose,{H977} thou shalt read{H7121} this law{H8451} before all Israel{H3478} in their hearing.{H241}

Assemble{H6950} the{H6950} people,{H5971} the men{H582} and the women{H802} and the little ones,{H2945} and thy sojourner{H1616} that is within thy gates,{H8179} that they may hear,{H8085} and that they may learn,{H3925} and fear{H3372} Jehovah{H3068} your God,{H430} and observe{H8104} to do{H6213} all the words{H1697} of this law;{H8451}

and that their children,{H1121} who have not known,{H3045} may hear,{H8085} and learn{H3925} to fear{H3372} Jehovah{H3068} your God,{H430} as long as{H3117} ye live{H2416} in the land{H127} whither ye go over{H5674} the Jordan{H3383} to possess{H3423} it.

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Moses,{H4872} Behold, thy days{H3117} approach{H7126} that thou must die:{H4191} call{H7121} Joshua,{H3091} and present{H3320} yourselves in the tent{H168} of meeting,{H4150} that I may give him a charge.{H6680} And Moses{H4872} and Joshua{H3091} went,{H3212} and presented{H3320} themselves in the tent{H168} of meeting.{H4150}

And Jehovah{H3068} appeared{H7200} in the Tent{H168} in a pillar{H5982} of cloud:{H6051} and the pillar{H5982} of cloud{H6051} stood{H5975} over the door{H6607} of the Tent.{H168}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Moses,{H4872} Behold, thou shalt sleep{H7901} with thy fathers;{H1} and this people{H5971} will rise up,{H6965} and play the harlot{H2181} after{H310} the strange{H5236} gods{H430} of the land,{H776} whither they go{H935} to be among{H7130} them, and will forsake{H5800} me, and break{H6565} my covenant{H1285} which I have made{H3772} with them.

Then my anger{H639} shall be kindled{H2734} against them in that day,{H3117} and I will forsake{H5800} them, and I will hide{H5641} my face{H6440} from them, and they shall be devoured,{H398} and many{H7227} evils{H7451} and troubles{H6869} shall come upon{H4672} them; so that they will say{H559} in that day,{H3117} Are not these evils{H7451} come{H4672} upon us because our God{H430} is not among{H7130} us?

And I will surely{H5641} hide{H5641} my face{H6440} in that day{H3117} for all the evil{H7451} which they shall have wrought,{H6213} in that{H3588} they are turned{H6437} unto other{H312} gods.{H430}

Now therefore write{H3789} ye this song{H7892} for you, and teach{H3925} thou it the children{H1121} of Israel:{H3478} put{H7760} it in their mouths,{H6310} that this song{H7892} may be a witness{H5707} for me against the children{H1121} of Israel.{H3478}

For when I shall have brought{H935} them into the land{H127} which I sware{H7650} unto their fathers,{H1} flowing{H2100} with milk{H2461} and honey,{H1706} and they shall have eaten{H398} and filled{H7646} themselves, and waxed fat;{H1878} then will they turn{H6437} unto other{H312} gods,{H430} and serve{H5647} them, and despise{H5006} me, and break{H6565} my covenant.{H1285}

And it shall come to pass, when many{H7227} evils{H7451} and troubles{H6869} are come upon{H4672} them, that this song{H7892} shall testify{H6030} before{H6440} them as a witness;{H5707} for it shall not be forgotten{H7911} out of the mouths{H6310} of their seed:{H2233} for I know{H3045} their imagination{H3336} which they frame{H6213} this day,{H3117} before I have brought{H935} them into the land{H776} which I sware.{H7650}

So Moses{H4872} wrote{H3789} this song{H7892} the same day,{H3117} and taught{H3925} it the children{H1121} of Israel.{H3478}

And he gave Joshua{H3091} the son{H1121} of Nun{H5126} a charge,{H6680} and said,{H559} Be strong{H2388} and of good courage;{H553} for thou shalt bring{H935} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} into the land{H776} which I sware{H7650} unto them: and I will be with thee.

And it came to pass, when Moses{H4872} had made an end{H3615} of writing{H3789} the words{H1697} of this law{H8451} in a book,{H5612} until they were finished,{H8552}

that Moses{H4872} commanded{H6680} the Levites,{H3881} that bare{H5375} the ark{H727} of the covenant{H1285} of Jehovah,{H3068} saying,{H559}

Take{H3947} this book{H5612} of the law,{H8451} and put{H7760} it by the side{H6654} of the ark{H727} of the covenant{H1285} of Jehovah{H3068} your God,{H430} that it may be there for a witness{H5707} against thee.

For I know{H3045} thy rebellion,{H4805} and thy stiff{H7186} neck:{H6203} behold, while I am yet alive{H2416} with you this day,{H3117} ye have been rebellious{H4784} against Jehovah;{H3068} and how much more after{H310} my death?{H4194}

Assemble{H6950} unto me all the elders{H2205} of your tribes,{H7626} and your officers,{H7860} that I may speak{H1696} these words{H1697} in their ears,{H241} and call{H5749} heaven{H8064} and earth{H776} to witness{H5749} against them.

For I know{H3045} that after{H310} my death{H4194} ye will utterly{H7843} corrupt{H7843} yourselves, and turn aside{H5493} from the way{H1870} which I have commanded{H6680} you; and evil{H7451} will befall{H7122} you in the latter{H319} days;{H3117} because ye will do{H6213} that which is evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah,{H3068} to provoke him to anger{H3707} through the work{H4639} of your hands.{H3027}

And Moses{H4872} spake{H1696} in the ears{H241} of all the assembly{H6951} of Israel{H3478} the words{H1697} of this song,{H7892} until they were finished.{H8552}
