Deuteronomy 31

Moses' Last Counsel

1

So Mosesh4872 wenth1980 and spokeh1696 theseh428 wordsh1697 to allh3605 Israelh3478.

2

And he saidh559 to them, "I am  aa hundredh3967 and twentyh6242 yearsh8141 oldh1121 todayh3117;  bI am noh3808 longerh5750 ableh3201 to comeh3318 and goh935, and the LORDh3068 has saidh559 to me, ` cYou shall not crossh5674a thish2088 Jordanh3383.'

3

aIt is the LORDh3068 your Godh430 who will crossh5674a aheadh6440 of you; He will destroyh8045 theseh428 nationsh1471 beforeh6440 you, and you shall dispossessh3423 them.  bJoshuah3091 is the one who will crossh5674a aheadh6440 of you, justh3512c as the LORDh3068 has spokenh1696.

4

"The LORDh3068 will doh6213a to them justh3512c as He didh6213a to Sihonh5511 and Ogh5747, the kingsh4428 of the Amoritesh567, and to their landh776, whenh834 He destroyedh8045 them.

5

aThe LORDh3068 will deliverh5414 them up beforeh6440 you, and you shall doh6213a to them according to allh3605 the commandmentsh4687 whichh834 I have commandedh6680 you.

6

aBe strongh2388 and courageoush553,  bdo not be afraidh3372a or trembleh6206 at them, for  cthe LORDh3068 your Godh430 is the one who goesh1980 with you.  dHe will not failh7503 you or forsakeh5800a you."

7

Then Mosesh4872 calledh7121 to Joshuah3091 and saidh559 to him in the sighth5869 of allh3605 Israelh3478, " aBe strongh2388 and courageoush553, for you shall goh935 with thish2088 peopleh5971a into the landh776 whichh834 the LORDh3068 has swornh7650 to their fathersh1 to giveh5414 them, and you shall giveh5157 it to them as an inheritanceh5157.

8

aThe LORDh3068 is the one who goesh1980 aheadh6440 of you; He will be with you.  bHe will not failh7503 you or forsakeh5800a you. Do not fearh3372a or be dismayedh2865."

9

So Mosesh4872 wroteh3789 thish2088 lawh8451 and gaveh5414 it to the priestsh3548, the sonsh1121 of Levih3878  awho carriedh5375 the arkh727 of the covenanth1285 of the LORDh3068, and to allh3605 the eldersh2205 of Israelh3478.

10

Then Mosesh4872 commandedh6680 them, sayingh559, "At the endh7093 of every sevenh7651 yearsh8141, at the timeh4150 of  athe yearh8141 of remissionh8059 of debts, at the  bFeasth2282 of Boothsh5521,

11

when allh3605 Israelh3478 comesh935  ato appearh7200 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068 your Godh430 at  bthe placeh4725 whichh834 He will chooseh977,  cyou shall readh7121 thish2088 lawh8451 in fronth5048 of allh3605 Israelh3478 in their hearingh241.

12

"Assembleh6950 the peopleh5971a, the menh376 and the womenh802 and childrenh2945 and  1the alienh1616 whoh834 is in your  2townh8179, soh4616 that they may hearh8085 and  alearnh3925 and fearh3372a the LORDh3068 your Godh430, and be carefulh8104 to observeh6213a allh3605 the wordsh1697 of thish2088 lawh8451.

13

"Their childrenh1121, whoh834 have not knownh3045, will hearh8085 and learnh3925 to fearh3372a the LORDh3068 your Godh430, as longh3605h3117 as you liveh2416a on the landh127  1whichh834 you are about to crossh5674a the Jordanh3383 to  2possessh3423."

Israel Will Fall Away

14

Then the LORDh3068 saidh559 to Mosesh4872, "Beholdh2005,  1 athe timeh3117 for you to dieh4191 is nearh7126; callh7121 Joshuah3091, and presenth3320 yourselves at the tenth168 of meetingh4150, that I may commissionh6680 him."  bSo Mosesh4872 and Joshuah3091 wenth1980 and presentedh3320 themselves at the tenth168 of meetingh4150.

15

 aThe LORDh3068 appearedh7200 in the tenth168 in a pillarh5982 of cloudh6051, and the pillarh5982 of cloudh6051 stoodh5975 at the doorwayh6607 of the tenth168.

16

The LORDh3068 saidh559 to Mosesh4872, "Beholdh2009,  ayou are about to lieh7901 downh7901 with your fathersh1; and  bthish2088 peopleh5971a will ariseh6965 and playh2181 the harloth2181 with the strangeh5236 godsh430 of the landh776, into the midsth7130 of whichh834 they are goingh935, and  cwill forsakeh5800a Me and breakh6565a My covenanth1285 whichh834 I have madeh3772 with them.

17

aThen My angerh639 will be kindledh2734 against them in that dayh3117, and  bI will forsakeh5800a them and  chideh5641 My faceh6440 from them, and they will be consumedh398, and manyh7227a evilsh7463a and troublesh6869a will comeh4672 upon them; so that they will sayh559 in that dayh3117, ` dIs it not becauseh5921h3588 our Godh430 is not amongh7130 us that theseh428 evilsh7463a have comeh4672 upon us?'

18

"But I will surelyh5641 hideh5641 My faceh6440 in that dayh3117 becauseh5921 of allh3605 the evilh7463a whichh834 they will doh6213a, for they will turnh6437 to otherh312 godsh430.

19

"Nowh6258 therefore,  awriteh3789 thish2088 songh7892b for yourselves, and teachh3925 it to the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478; puth7760 it  1on their lipsh6310, soh4616 that thish2088 songh7892b may be a witnessh5707 for Me against the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478.

20

aFor when I bringh935 them into the landh127 flowingh2100 with milkh2461 and honeyh1706, whichh834 I sworeh7650 to their fathersh1, and they have eatenh398 and are satisfiedh7646 and  bbecomeh1878  1prosperoush1878, then they will turnh6437 to otherh312 godsh430 and serveh5647 them, and spurnh5006 Me and breakh6565a My covenanth1285.

21

"Then it shall comeh1961 about,  awhenh3588 manyh7227a evilsh7463a and troublesh6869a have comeh4672 upon them, that thish2088 songh7892b will testifyh6030a beforeh6440 them as a witnessh5707 (for it shall not be forgottenh7911 from the  1lipsh6310 of their descendantsh2233); for  bI knowh3045 their intenth3336 whichh834 they are  2developingh6213a todayh3117, beforeh2962 I have broughth935 them into the landh776 whichh834 I sworeh7650."

22

 aSo Mosesh4872 wroteh3789 thish2088 songh7892b the sameh1931 dayh3117, and taughth3925 it to the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478.

Joshua Is Commissioned

23

 aThen He commissionedh6680 Joshuah3091 the sonh1121 of Nunh5126, and saidh559, " bBe strongh2388 and courageoush553, for you shall bringh935 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 into the landh776 whichh834 I sworeh7650 to them, and  cI will be with you."

24

It cameh1961 about, when Mosesh4872 finishedh3615 writingh3789 the wordsh1697 of thish2088 lawh8451 in a bookh5612 untilh5704 they were completeh8552,

25

that Mosesh4872 commandedh6680 the Levitesh3881  awho carriedh5375 the arkh727 of the covenanth1285 of the LORDh3068, sayingh559,

26

"Takeh3947 thish2088 bookh5612 of the lawh8451 and placeh7760 it besideh4480h6654 the arkh727 of the covenanth1285 of the LORDh3068 your Godh430, that it may  1remainh1961 thereh8033 as a witnessh5707 against you.

27

"For I knowh3045  ayour rebellionh4805 and  byour  1stubbornnessh7186h6203; beholdh2005, while I am stillh5750 aliveh2416a with you todayh3117, you have beenh1961 rebellioush4784 againsth5973 the LORDh3068; howh637 muchh637h3588 moreh637h3588, then, afterh310 my deathh4194?

28

"Assembleh6950 to me allh3605 the eldersh2205 of your tribesh7626 and your officersh7860, that I may speakh1696 theseh428 wordsh1697 in their hearingh241 and  acallh5749b the heavensh8064 and the earthh776 to witnessh5749b against them.

29

"For I knowh3045 that afterh310 my deathh4194 you will  aacth7843 corruptlyh7843 and turnh5493 from the wayh1870 whichh834 I have commandedh6680 you; and evilh7463a will befallh7122 you in the latterh319 daysh3117, for you will doh6213a that whichh7451a is evilh7451a in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068, provokingh3707 Him to angerh3707 with the workh4639 of your handsh3027."

30

Then Mosesh4872 spokeh1696 in the hearingh241 of allh3605 the assemblyh6951 of Israelh3478 the wordsh1697 of thish2088 songh7892b, untilh5704 they were completeh8552:
