Context of Deuteronomy 31:13
11When all Israel is come to appear before Yhwh thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing. 12Gather 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 Yhwh your God, and observe to do all the words of this law: And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear Yhwh your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it. 14And Yhwh 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. 15And Yhwh appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.
