Deuteronomy 31:9-26

9And MosesH4872 wroteH3789 this lawH8451, and deliveredH5414 it unto the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878, which bareH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of YhwhH3068, and unto all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478. 10And MosesH4872 commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, At the endH7093 of every sevenH7651 yearsH8141, in the solemnityH4150 of the yearH8141 of releaseH8059, in the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521, 11When all IsraelH3478 is comeH935 to appearH7200 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 in the placeH4725 which he shall chooseH977, thou shalt readH7121 this lawH8451 before all IsraelH3478 in their hearingH241. 12GatherH6950 the peopleH5971 togetherH6950, menH582, and womenH802, and childrenH2945, and thy strangerH1616 that is within thy gatesH8179, that they may hearH8085, and that they may learnH3925, and fearH3372 YhwhH3068 your GodH430, and observeH8104 to doH6213 all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451: 13And that their childrenH1121, which have not knownH3045 any thing, may hearH8085, and learnH3925 to fearH3372 YhwhH3068 your GodH430, as long asH3117 ye liveH2416 in the landH127 whither ye go overH5674 JordanH3383 to possessH3423 it.

14And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Behold, thy daysH3117 approachH7126 that thou must dieH4191: callH7121 JoshuaH3091, and presentH3320 yourselves in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, that I may give him a chargeH6680. And MosesH4872 and JoshuaH3091 wentH3212, and presentedH3320 themselves in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150. 15And YhwhH3068 appearedH7200 in the tabernacleH168 in a pillarH5982 of a cloudH6051: and the pillarH5982 of the cloudH6051 stoodH5975 over the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168.

16And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Behold, thou shalt sleepH7901 with thy fathersH1; and this peopleH5971 will rise upH6965, and go a whoringH2181 afterH310 the godsH430 of the strangersH5236 of the landH776, whither they goH935 to be amongH7130 them, and will forsakeH5800 me, and breakH6565 my covenantH1285 which I have madeH3772 with them.1 17Then my angerH639 shall be kindledH2734 against them in that dayH3117, and I will forsakeH5800 them, and I will hideH5641 my faceH6440 from them, and they shall be devouredH398, and manyH7227 evilsH7451 and troublesH6869 shall befallH4672 them; so that they will sayH559 in that dayH3117, Are not these evilsH7451 comeH4672 upon us, because our GodH430 is not amongH7130 us?2 18And I will surelyH5641 hideH5641 my faceH6440 in that dayH3117 for all the evilsH7451 which they shall have wroughtH6213, in thatH3588 they are turnedH6437 unto otherH312 godsH430. 19Now therefore writeH3789 ye this songH7892 for you, and teachH3925 it the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: putH7760 it in their mouthsH6310, that this songH7892 may be a witnessH5707 for me against the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 20For when I shall have broughtH935 them into the landH127 which I swareH7650 unto their fathersH1, that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706; and they shall have eatenH398 and filledH7646 themselves, and waxen fatH1878; then will they turnH6437 unto otherH312 godsH430, and serveH5647 them, and provokeH5006 me, and breakH6565 my covenantH1285. 21And it shall come to pass, when manyH7227 evilsH7451 and troublesH6869 are befallenH4672 them, that this songH7892 shall testifyH6030 againstH6440 them as a witnessH5707; for it shall not be forgottenH7911 out of the mouthsH6310 of their seedH2233: for I knowH3045 their imaginationH3336 which they go aboutH6213, even nowH3117, before I have broughtH935 them into the landH776 which I swareH7650.34

22MosesH4872 therefore wroteH3789 this songH7892 the same dayH3117, and taughtH3925 it the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 23And he gave JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 a chargeH6680, and saidH559, Be strongH2388 and of a good courageH553: for thou shalt bringH935 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 into the landH776 which I swareH7650 unto them: and I will be with thee.

24And it came to pass, when MosesH4872 had made an endH3615 of writingH3789 the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451 in a bookH5612, until they were finishedH8552, 25That MosesH4872 commandedH6680 the LevitesH3881, which bareH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of YhwhH3068, sayingH559, 26TakeH3947 this bookH5612 of the lawH8451, and putH7760 it in the sideH6654 of the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of YhwhH3068 your GodH430, that it may be there for a witnessH5707 against thee.
