ULT DEU Chapter 31

◄ DEU 31 ► ║ ©

31 Then Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel. 2 And he said to them, “I am 120 years old today; I am not able anymore to go out and come in; and Yahweh has said to me, ‘You will not go over this Jordan.’ 3 Yahweh your God, he will go over before your faces; he will destroy these nations from before your faces, and you will dispossess them. Joshua, he will go over before your faces, as Yahweh has spoken. 4 And Yahweh will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, that which he destroyed. 5 And Yahweh will give them before your faces, and you shall do to them according to all the commandments that I commanded you. 6 Be strong and courageous, you shall not fear, and you shall not be afraid of their faces; for Yahweh your God, he goes with you; he will not fail you nor forsake you.” 7 And Moses called to Joshua and said to him in the eyes of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you will go with this people into the land that Yahweh has sworn to their fathers to give to them; and you will cause them to inherit it. 8 And Yahweh, he goes before your faces; he will be with you; he will not fail you nor abandon you; you shall not fear and you shall not be dismayed.”

9 And Moses wrote this law and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carry the box of the covenant of Yahweh, and to all the elders of Israel. 10 And Moses commanded them, saying, “At the end of seven years, at the appointed time of year of the remission, during the Festival of Shelters, 11 when all Israel shall come to appear before the face of Yahweh your God in the place that he will choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their ears. 12 Assemble the people, the men, and the women, and the children, and your foreigner who is within your gates, so that they may hear and so that they may learn and fear Yahweh your God and keep doing all the words of this law. 13 And their sons, who do not know, may hear and learn to fear Yahweh your God all the days that you live in the land to which you are crossing over the Jordan to possess it.”

14 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, your dying day is approaching; call Joshua and present yourselves in the tent of meeting, and I will command him.” And Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves in the tent of meeting. 15 And Yahweh appeared in the tent in a pillar of cloud; and the pillar of cloud stood over the door of the tent. 16 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, you will sleep with your fathers; and this people will rise up and whore after the strange gods of the land in the midst of which it is going to. And they will forsake me and break my covenant that I have cut with them. 17 And, on that day, my nose will burn against them, and I will forsake them and hide my face from them, and they will be devoured, and many disasters and troubles will find them. And they will say on that day, ‘Have not these disasters found us because my God is not in my midst?’ 18 And I will surely hide my face on that day because of all the evil that they will have done, because they have turned to other gods. 19 And now, write this song for yourselves and teach it to the sons of Israel. Put it in their mouths, so that this song may be a witness for me against the sons of Israel. 20 When I bring them to the land that I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they eat and become satisfied and fat, then they will turn to other gods and they will serve them and they will despise me and break my covenant. 21 And it will be, when many evils and troubles find it, then this song will testify before its face as a witness (for it will not be forgotten from the mouths of its seed). For I know the intent that it is making today, before I have brought them into the land that I promised.” 22 And Moses wrote this song on that day and taught it to the sons of Israel. 23 And he commanded Joshua son of Nun and said, “Be strong and courageous; for you shall bring the sons of Israel into the land that I swore to them, and I will be with you.”

24 And it happened as Moses finished writing the words of this law in a scroll until it was complete, 25 that Moses commanded the Levites, who carried the box of the covenant of Yahweh, saying, 26 “Take this scroll of the law and put it by the side of the box of the covenant of Yahweh your God, and it will be there as a witness against you. 27 For I know your rebellion and your hard neck; behold, while I am still alive with you today, you have been rebellious against Yahweh; and also surely after my death. 28 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, and let me speak these words in their ears and call the heavens and the earth to witness against them. 29 For I know that after my death you will surely corrupt yourselves and turn aside from the path that I have commanded you; and disaster will meet you in the following days, because you will do evil in the eyes of Yahweh, provoking him to anger through the work of your hands.”

30 And Moses spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song until it was finished.
