Deuteronomy 31
30;
The Song of Moses
30 And Moses recited the words of this song from beginning to end in the
hearing of the whole assembly of Israel:
138
25 he gave this Command to the Levites who
carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord: (7)
26 “Take this Book of the Law and place it beside the Ark of the Covenant
of the Lord your God. There it
will remain as a Witness against you.
27 For
I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you have been rebellious
against the Lord while I am still
alive and with you, how much more will you rebel after I die!
369
16 And the Lord
said to Moses: “You are going to rest with your ancestors, and these people
will soon prostitute themselves to the foreign gods of the land they are
entering. They will forsake Me and break the Covenant I made with them. (7)
17 And
in that day I will become angry with them and forsake them; I will hide My face
from them, and they will be destroyed. Many disasters and calamities will come
on them, and in that day they will ask, ‘Have not these disasters come on us because our God(Jesus) is not with
us?’
18 And I will certainly hide My Face in that day because of all their
wickedness in turning to other gods(Worship demons, not the spirit of the Lord Jesus).
369
7 Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to
him in the presence of all Israel,
“Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people
into the land that the Lord swore
to their ancestors to give them, and you must divide it among them as their
inheritance. (7)
8 The Lord(Jesus) Himself goes
before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do
not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Public Reading of the Law
9 So
Moses wrote down this law and gave it to the Levitical priests, who carried the
ark of the covenant of the Lord,
and to all the elders of Israel.
369
22 So Moses wrote down this song that day and
taught it to the Israelites.
(4)
23 The
Lord gave this Command to Joshua
son of Nun: “Be strong and courageous, for you will bring the Israelites into the
land I promised them on oath, and I Myself will be with you.”
24 After
Moses finished writing in a book the words of this law from beginning to end,
147
13 Their children, who do not know this law,
must hear it and learn to fear the Lord
your God as long as you live in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.” (4)
Israel’s Rebellion Predicted
14 The Lord said to Moses, “Now the day of your death is
near. Call Joshua and present yourselves at the tent of meeting, where I will
commission him.” So Moses and Joshua came and presented themselves at the tent
of meeting.
15 Then the Lord appeared at the
tent in a Pillar of Cloud, and the Cloud stood over the entrance to the tent.
369
4 And the Lord
will do to them what he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, whom he
destroyed along with their land. (4)
5 The
Lord will deliver them to you, and
you must do to them all that I have commanded you.
6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them,
for the Lord your God goes with
you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.”
369
28 Assemble before me(Moses) all the elders
of your tribes and all your officials, so that I can speak these words in their
hearing and call the heavens and the earth to testify against them. (1)
29 For I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly corrupt and
to turn from the way I have commanded you. In days to come, disaster will fall
on you because you will do evil in the sight of the Lord and arouse His anger by what your hands have made.”
258
19 “Now write down this song and teach
it to the Israelites and have them sing it, so that it may be a witness for Me
against them. (1)
20 When
I have brought them into the land flowing with milk and honey, the land I
promised on oath to their ancestors, and when they eat their fill and thrive,
they will turn to other gods and worship them, rejecting Me and breaking My Covenant.
21 And
when many disasters and calamities come on them, this song will testify against them, because it will not be forgotten by their
descendants. I know what they are disposed to do, even before I bring them into
the land I promised them on oath.”
138
10 Then Moses commanded them: “At the end
of every Seven years, in the year for canceling debts,
during the Festival of Tabernacles,
(1)
11 when
all Israel comes to appear before the Lord
your God at the place He will choose, you shall read this Law before them in
their hearing.
12 Assemble
the people—men, women and children, and the foreigners residing in your
towns—so they can listen and learn to fear the Lord
your God and follow carefully all the Words of this Law.
138
Joshua to Succeed Moses
31 Then
Moses went out and spoke these words to all Israel: (1)
2 “I am now a hundred and twenty years old and I am no longer able to lead you. The Lord has said to me, ‘You shall not
cross the Jordan.’
3 The
Lord your God himself will cross
over ahead of you. He will destroy these nations before you, and you will take
possession of their land. Joshua also will cross over ahead of you, as the Lord said.
