Deuteronomy 31:1-13

Deuteronomy 31:1-13

[1] And Moses  and spake  these words  unto all Israel.  [2] And he said  unto 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  unto me, Thou shalt not go over  this Jordan.  [3] 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.  [4] And the LORD  shall do  to Sihon  and to Og,  kings  of the Amorites,  and unto the land  of them, whom he destroyed.  [5] And the LORD  shall give them up  before your face,  that ye may do  unto them according unto all the commandments  which I have commanded  you. [6] Be strong  and of a good courage,  fear  not, nor be afraid  of them:  for the LORD  thy God,  he it is that doth go  with thee; he will not fail  thee, nor forsake  thee. [7] And Moses  called  unto Joshua,  and said  unto him in the sight  of all Israel,  Be strong  and of a good courage:  for thou must go  with this people  unto the land  which the LORD  hath sworn  unto their fathers  to give  them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit  it. [8] And the LORD,  he it is that doth go  before  thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail  thee, neither forsake  thee: fear  not, neither be dismayed.  [9] And Moses  wrote  this law,  and delivered  it unto the priests  the sons  of Levi,  which bare  the ark  of the covenant  of the LORD,  and unto all the elders  of Israel.  [10] And Moses  commanded  them, saying,  At the end  of every seven  years,  in the solemnity  of the year  of release,  in the feast  of tabernacles,  [11] When all Israel  is come  to appear  before  the LORD  thy God  in the place  which he shall choose,  thou shalt read  this law  before all Israel  in their hearing.  [12] the people  together,  and women,  and children,  and thy stranger  that is within thy gates,  that they may hear,  and that they may learn,  and fear  the LORD  your God,  and observe  to do  all the words  of this law:  [13] And that their children,  which have not known  any thing, may hear,  and learn  to fear  the LORD  your God,  as long as  ye live  in the land  whither ye go over  Jordan  to possess  it.
