Deuteronomy 31:1 Moses4872 went3212 and spoke1696 these words1697 to all Israel.34782 He said559 to them, "I am one hundred3967 twenty6242 years8141 old1121 this day;3117 I can3201 no more go out3318 and come in:935 and Yahweh3068 has said559 to me, ‘You shall not go over5674 this Jordan.'33833 Yahweh3068 your God,430 he will go over5674 before6440 you; he will destroy8045 these nations1471 from before6440 you, and you shall dispossess3423 them. Joshua3091 shall go over5674 before6440 you, as Yahweh3068 has spoken.16964 Yahweh3068 will do6213 to them as he did6213 to Sihon5511 and to Og,5747 the kings4428 of the Amorites,567 and to their land;776 whom he destroyed.80455 Yahweh3068 will deliver them up5414 before you,6440 and you shall do6213 to them according to all the commandment4687 which I have commanded6680 you.
6 Be strong2388 and courageous,553 don't be afraid,3372 nor be scared6206 of them:6440 for Yahweh3068 your God,430 he it is who does go1980 with you; he will not fail7503 you, nor forsake5800 you."
Deuteronomy 31:7 Moses4872 called7121 to Joshua,3091 and said559 to him in the sight5869 of all Israel,3478 "Be strong2388 and courageous:553 for you shall go935 with this people5971 into the land776 which Yahweh3068 has sworn7650 to their fathers1 to give5414 them; and you shall cause them to inherit5157 it.
8 Yahweh,3068 he it is who does go1980 before6440 you; he will be with you, he will not fail7503 you, neither forsake5800 you: don't be afraid,3372 neither be dismayed."2865
Deuteronomy 31:9 Moses4872 wrote3789 this law,8451 and delivered5414 it to the priests3548 the sons1121 of Levi,3878 who bore5375 the ark727 of the covenant1285 of Yahweh,3068 and to all the elders2205 of Israel.347810 Moses4872 commanded6680 them, saying,559 "At the end7093 of every seven7651 years,8141 in the set4150 time of the year8141 of release,8059 in the feast2282 of tents,552111 when all Israel3478 has come935 to appear7200 before6440 Yahweh3068 your God430 in the place4725 which he shall choose,977 you shall read7121 this law8451 before all Israel3478 in their hearing.24112 Assemble6950 the6950 people,5971 the men582 and the women802 and the little ones,2945 and your foreigner1616 who is within your gates,8179 that they may hear,8085 and that they may learn,3925 and fear3372 Yahweh3068 your God,430 and observe8104 to do6213 all the words1697 of this law;845113 and that their children,1121 who have not known,3045 may hear,8085 and learn3925 to fear3372 Yahweh3068 your God,430 as long as3117 you live2416 in the land127 where you go over5674 the Jordan3383 to possess3423 it."
Deuteronomy 31:14 Yahweh3068 said559 to Moses,4872 "Behold, your days3117 approach7126 that you must die:4191 call7121 Joshua,3091 and present3320 yourselves in the Tent168 of Meeting,4150 that I may commission6680 him." Moses4872 and Joshua3091 went,3212 and presented3320 themselves in the Tent168 of Meeting.4150
Deuteronomy 31:15 Yahweh3068 appeared7200 in the Tent168 in a pillar5982 of cloud:6051 and the pillar5982 of cloud6051 stood5975 over the door6607 of the Tent.16816 Yahweh3068 said559 to Moses,4872 "Behold, you shall sleep7901 with your fathers;1 and this people5971 will rise up,6965 and play the prostitute2181 after310 the strange5236 gods430 of the land,776 where they go935 to be among7130 them, and will forsake5800 me, and break6565 my covenant1285 which I have made3772 with them.
17 Then my anger639 shall be kindled2734 against them in that day,3117 and I will forsake5800 them, and I will hide5641 my face6440 from them, and they shall be devoured,398 and many7227 evils7451 and troubles6869 shall come on4672 them; so that they will say559 in that day,3117 ‘Haven't these evils7451 come4672 on us because our God430 is not among7130 us?'
18 I will surely5641 hide5641 my face6440 in that day3117 for all the evil7451 which they shall have worked,6213 in that3588 they are turned6437 to other312 gods.430
Deuteronomy 31:19 "Now therefore write3789 this song7892 for yourselves, and teach3925 it to the children1121 of Israel:3478 put7760 it in their mouths,6310 that this song7892 may be a witness5707 for me against the children1121 of Israel.347820 For when I shall have brought935 them into the land127 which I swore7650 to their fathers,1 flowing2100 with milk2461 and honey,1706 and they shall have eaten398 and filled7646 themselves, and grown fat;1878 then will they turn6437 to other312 gods,430 and serve5647 them, and despise5006 me, and break6565 my covenant.128521 It shall happen, when many7227 evils7451 and troubles6869 have come on4672 them, that this song7892 shall testify6030 before6440 them as a witness;5707 for it shall not be forgotten7911 out of the mouths6310 of their seed:2233 for I know3045 their imagination3336 which they frame6213 this day,3117 before I have brought935 them into the land776 which I swore."765022 So Moses4872 wrote3789 this song7892 the same day,3117 and taught3925 it the children1121 of Israel.3478
Deuteronomy 31:23 He commissioned6680 Joshua3091 the son1121 of Nun,5126 and said,559 "Be strong2388 and courageous;553 for you shall bring935 the children1121 of Israel3478 into the land776 which I swore7650 to them: and I will be with you."
Deuteronomy 31:24 It happened, when Moses4872 had made an end3615 of writing3789 the words1697 of this law8451 in a book,5612 until they were finished,855225 that Moses4872 commanded6680 the Levites,3881 who bore5375 the ark727 of the covenant1285 of Yahweh,3068 saying,55926 "Take3947 this book5612 of the law,8451 and put7760 it by the side6654 of the ark727 of the covenant1285 of Yahweh3068 your God,430 that it may be there for a witness5707 against you.
27 For I know3045 your rebellion,4805 and your stiff7186 neck:6203 behold, while I am yet alive2416 with you this day,3117 you have been rebellious4784 against Yahweh;3068 and how much more after310 my death?419428 Assemble6950 to me all the elders2205 of your tribes,7626 and your officers,7860 that I may speak1696 these words1697 in their ears,241 and call5749 heaven8064 and earth776 to witness5749 against them.
29 For I know3045 that after310 my death4194 you will utterly7843 corrupt7843 yourselves, and turn aside5493 from the way1870 which I have commanded6680 you; and evil7451 will happen7122 to you in the latter319 days;3117 because you will do6213 that which is evil7451 in the sight5869 of Yahweh,3068 to provoke him to anger3707 through the work4639 of your hands."3027
Deuteronomy 31:30 Moses4872 spoke1696 in the ears241 of all the assembly6951 of Israel3478 the words1697 of this song,7892 until they were finished.8552
