Deuteronomy 31:1-13

1So MosesH4872 wentH1980 and spokeH1696 theseH428 wordsH1697 to allH3605 IsraelH3478. 2And he saidH559 to them, “I am 1a hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 todayH3117; 2I am noH3808 longerH5750 ableH3201 to comeH3318 and goH935, and the LordH3068 has saidH559 to me, ‘3You shall not crossH5674 thisH2088 JordanH3383.’ 34It is the LordH3068 your GodH430 who will crossH5674 aheadH6440 of you; He will destroyH8045 theseH428 nationsH1471 beforeH6440 you, and you shall dispossessH3423 them. 5JoshuaH3091 is the one who will crossH5674 aheadH6440 of you, justH3512 as the LordH3068 has spokenH1696. 4The LordH3068 will doH6213 to them justH3512 as He didH6213 to SihonH5511 and OgH5747, the kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, and to their landH776, whenH834 He destroyedH8045 them. 56The LordH3068 will deliverH5414 them up beforeH6440 you, and you shall doH6213 to them according to allH3605 the commandmentsH4687 whichH834 I have commandedH6680 you. 67Be strongH2388 and courageousH553, 8do not be afraidH3372 or trembleH6206 at them, for 9the LordH3068 your GodH430 is the one who goesH1980 with you. 10He will not failH7503 you or forsakeH5800 you.”

7Then MosesH4872 calledH7121 to JoshuaH3091 and saidH559 to him in the sightH5869 of allH3605 IsraelH3478, “11Be strongH2388 and courageousH553, for you shall goH935 with thisH2088 peopleH5971 into the landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 has swornH7650 to their fathersH1 to giveH5414 them, and you shall giveH5157 it to them as an inheritanceH5157. 812The LordH3068 is the one who goesH1980 aheadH6440 of you; He will be with you. 13He will not failH7503 you or forsakeH5800 you. Do not fearH3372 or be dismayedH2865.”

9So MosesH4872 wroteH3789 thisH2088 lawH8451 and gaveH5414 it to the priestsH3548, the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 14who carriedH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068, and to allH3605 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478. 10Then MosesH4872 commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, “At the endH7093 of every sevenH7651 yearsH8141, at the timeH4150 of 15the yearH8141 of remissionH8059 of debts, at the 16FeastH2282 of BoothsH5521, 11when allH3605 IsraelH3478 comesH935 17to appearH7200 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 your GodH430 at 18the placeH4725 whichH834 He will chooseH977, 19you shall readH7121 thisH2088 lawH8451 in frontH5048 of allH3605 IsraelH3478 in their hearingH241. 12AssembleH6950 the peopleH5971, the menH376 and the womenH802 and childrenH2945 and 20the alienH1616 whoH834 is in your 21townH8179, soH4616 that they may hearH8085 and 22learnH3925 and fearH3372 the LordH3068 your GodH430, and be carefulH8104 to observeH6213 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 lawH8451. 13Their childrenH1121, whoH834 have not knownH3045, will hearH8085 and learnH3925 to fearH3372 the LordH3068 your GodH430, as longH3605H3117 as you liveH2416 on the landH127 23whichH834 you are about to crossH5674 the JordanH3383 to 24possessH3423.”
