Context of Deuteronomy 31:1
When Moses had finished giving these instructions to all the people of Israel, 2he said, “I am now 120 years old, and I am no longer able to lead you. The Lord has told me, ‘You will not cross the Jordan River.’ 3But the Lord your God himself will cross over ahead of you.
