Context of Deuteronomy 31:3
1And Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel. 2And he said to them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath said to me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan. The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said. 4And the LORD shall do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and to the land of them, whom he destroyed. 5And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may do to them according to all the commandments which I have commanded you.
