05_DEU_31_01 And Moses went And spake These words unto all Israel .
05_DEU_31_02 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 .
05_DEU_31_03 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 .
05_DEU_31_04 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 .
05_DEU_31_05 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 .
05_DEU_31_06 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 .
05_DEU_31_07 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 .
05_DEU_31_08 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 .
05_DEU_31_09 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 .
05_DEU_31_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 ,
05_DEU_31_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 .
05_DEU_31_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 :
05_DEU_31_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 .
05_DEU_31_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 .
05_DEU_31_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 .
05_DEU_31_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 .
05_DEU_31_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 ?
05_DEU_31_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 .
05_DEU_31_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 .
05_DEU_31_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 .
05_DEU_31_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 .
05_DEU_31_22 Moses therefore wrote this song the same day , And taught it the children of Israel .
05_DEU_31_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 .
05_DEU_31_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 ,
05_DEU_31_25 that Moses commanded the Levites , which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD , saying ,
05_DEU_31_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 .
05_DEU_31_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 ?
05_DEU_31_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 .
05_DEU_31_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 .
05_DEU_31_30 And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song , until they were ended .
