Deuteronomy 31:1-13

1And Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel;

2and he said unto them, I am a hundred and twenty years old this day, I can no more go out and come in; and Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

3Jehovah thy 1God, he will go over before thee, he will destroy these nations from before thee, that thou mayest take possession of them: Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as Jehovah hath said.

4And Jehovah will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land; whom he destroyed.

5And when Jehovah giveth them up before you, ye shall do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded you.

6Be strong and courageous, fear them not, neither be afraid of them; for Jehovah thy 2God, he it is that goeth with thee; he will not leave thee, nor forsake thee.

7And Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and courageous, for thou must go with this people into the land which Jehovah hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.

8And Jehovah, he it is that goeth before thee: he will be with thee; he will not leave thee, nor forsake thee; fear not, neither be dismayed.

9And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and to all the elders of Israel.

10And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, at the set time of the year of release, at the feast of tabernacles,

11when all Israel cometh to appear before Jehovah thy 3God in the place which he will choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their ears.

12Gather the people together, the men, and the women, and the children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear Jehovah your 4God, and take heed to do all the words of this law;

13and that their children who do not know it may hear it and learn, that they may fear Jehovah your 5God, as long as ye live in the land, whereunto ye pass over the Jordan to possess it.
