ASV_Strong : Deuteronomy 31
1. And Moses[H4872] went[H3212] and spake[H1696] these words[H1697] unto all Israel[H3478].
2. And he said[H559] unto them[H3967], I am a hundred and twenty[H6242] years[H8141] old[H1121] this day[H3117]; I can[H3201] no more go out[H3318] and come in[H935]: and Jehovah[H3068] hath said[H559] unto me[H5674], Thou shalt not go over this Jordan[H3383].
3. Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430], he will go over[H5674] before[H6440] thee[H8045]; he will destroy these nations[H1471] from before[H6440] thee[H3423], and thou shalt dispossess them[H3091]: and Joshua, he shall go over[H5674] before[H6440] thee[H3068], as Jehovah hath spoken[H1696].
4. And Jehovah[H3068] will do[H6213] unto them as he did[H6213] to Sihon[H5511] and to Og[H5747], the kings[H4428] of the Amorites[H567], and unto their land[H776]; whom he destroyed[H8045].
5. And Jehovah[H3068] will deliver them up[H5414] before you[H6440], and ye shall do[H6213] unto them according unto all the commandment[H4687] which I have commanded you[H6680].
6. Be strong[H2388] and of good courage[H553], fear[H3372] not[H6206], nor be affrighted at them[H6440]: for Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430], he it is that doth go[H1980] with thee[H7503]; he will not fail thee[H5800], nor forsake thee.
7. And Moses[H4872] called[H7121] unto Joshua[H3091], and said[H559] unto him in the sight[H5869] of all Israel[H3478], Be strong[H2388] and of good courage[H553]: for thou shalt go[H935] with this people[H5971] into the land[H776] which Jehovah[H3068] hath sworn[H7650] unto their fathers[H1] to give[H5414] them[H5157]; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.
8. And Jehovah[H3068], he it is that doth go[H1980] before[H6440] thee[H7503]; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee[H5800], neither forsake thee[H3372]: fear not[H2865], neither be dismayed.
9. And Moses[H4872] wrote[H3789] this law[H8451], and delivered[H5414] it unto the priests[H3548] the sons[H1121] of Levi[H3878], that bare[H5375] the ark[H727] of the covenant[H1285] of Jehovah[H3068], and unto all the elders[H2205] of Israel[H3478].
10. And Moses[H4872] commanded[H6680] them[H559], saying, At the end[H7093] of every seven[H7651] years[H8141], in the set[H4150] time of the year[H8141] of release[H8059], in the feast[H2282] of tabernacles[H5521],
11. when all Israel[H3478] is come[H935] to appear[H7200] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430] in the place[H4725] which he shall choose[H977], thou shalt read[H7121] this law[H8451] before all Israel[H3478] in their hearing[H241].
12. Assemble[H6950] the[H6950] people[H5971], the men[H582] and the women[H802] and the little ones[H2945], and thy sojourner[H1616] that is within thy gates[H8179], that they may hear[H8085], and that they may learn[H3925], and fear[H3372] Jehovah[H3068] your God[H430], and observe[H8104] to do[H6213] all the words[H1697] of this law[H8451];
13. and that their children[H1121], who have not known[H3045], may hear[H8085], and learn[H3925] to fear[H3372] Jehovah[H3068] your God[H430], as long as[H3117] ye live[H2416] in the land[H127] whither ye go over[H5674] the Jordan[H3383] to possess it[H3423].
14. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Behold[H3117], thy days approach[H7126] that thou must die[H4191]: call[H7121] Joshua[H3091], and present[H3320] yourselves in the tent[H168] of meeting[H4150], that I may give him a charge[H6680]. And Moses[H4872] and Joshua[H3091] went[H3212], and presented[H3320] themselves in the tent[H168] of meeting[H4150].
15. And Jehovah[H3068] appeared[H7200] in the Tent[H168] in a pillar[H5982] of cloud[H6051]: and the pillar[H5982] of cloud[H6051] stood[H5975] over the door[H6607] of the Tent[H168].
16. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Behold[H7901], thou shalt sleep with thy fathers[H1]; and this people[H5971] will rise up[H6965], and play the harlot[H2181] after[H310] the strange[H5236] gods[H430] of the land[H776], whither they go[H935] to be among[H7130] them[H5800], and will forsake me[H6565], and break my covenant[H1285] which I have made with them[H3772].
17. Then my anger[H639] shall be kindled[H2734] against them in that day[H3117], and I will forsake[H5800] them[H5641], and I will hide my face[H6440] from them[H398], and they shall be devoured, and many[H7227] evils[H7451] and troubles[H6869] shall come upon[H4672] them[H559]; so that they will say in that day[H3117], Are not these evils[H7451] come[H4672] upon us because our God[H430] is not among us[H7130]?
18. And I will surely[H5641] hide[H5641] my face[H6440] in that day[H3117] for all the evil[H7451] which they shall have wrought[H6213], in that[H3588] they are turned[H6437] unto other[H312] gods[H430].
19. Now therefore write[H3789] ye this song[H7892] for you[H3925], and teach thou it the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]: put[H7760] it in their mouths[H6310], that this song[H7892] may be a witness[H5707] for me against the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478].
20. For when I shall have brought[H935] them into the land[H127] which I sware[H7650] unto their fathers[H1], flowing[H2100] with milk[H2461] and honey[H1706], and they shall have eaten[H398] and filled[H7646] themselves[H1878], and waxed fat; then will they turn[H6437] unto other[H312] gods[H430], and serve[H5647] them[H5006], and despise me[H6565], and break my covenant[H1285].
21. And it shall come to pass[H7227], when many evils[H7451] and troubles[H6869] are come upon[H4672] them[H7892], that this song shall testify[H6030] before[H6440] them as a witness[H5707]; for it shall not be forgotten[H7911] out of the mouths[H6310] of their seed[H2233]: for I know[H3045] their imagination[H3336] which they frame[H6213] this day[H3117], before I have brought[H935] them into the land[H776] which I sware[H7650].
22. So Moses[H4872] wrote[H3789] this song[H7892] the same day[H3117], and taught[H3925] it the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478].
23. And he gave Joshua[H3091] the son[H1121] of Nun[H5126] a charge[H6680], and said[H559], Be strong[H2388] and of good courage[H553]; for thou shalt bring[H935] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] into the land[H776] which I sware unto them[H7650]: and I will be with thee.
24. And it came to pass[H4872], when Moses had made an end[H3615] of writing[H3789] the words[H1697] of this law[H8451] in a book[H5612], until they were finished[H8552],
25. that Moses[H4872] commanded[H6680] the Levites[H3881], that bare[H5375] the ark[H727] of the covenant[H1285] of Jehovah[H3068], saying[H559],
26. Take[H3947] this book[H5612] of the law[H8451], and put[H7760] it by the side[H6654] of the ark[H727] of the covenant[H1285] of Jehovah[H3068] your God[H430], that it may be there for a witness against thee[H5707].
27. For I know[H3045] thy rebellion[H4805], and thy stiff[H7186] neck[H6203]: behold[H2416], while I am yet alive with you this day[H3117], ye have been rebellious[H4784] against Jehovah[H3068]; and how much more after[H310] my death[H4194]?
28. Assemble[H6950] unto me all the elders[H2205] of your tribes[H7626], and your officers[H7860], that I may speak[H1696] these words[H1697] in their ears[H241], and call[H5749] heaven[H8064] and earth[H776] to witness against them[H5749].
29. For I know[H3045] that after[H310] my death[H4194] ye will utterly[H7843] corrupt[H7843] yourselves[H5493], and turn aside from the way[H1870] which I have commanded[H6680] you[H7451]; and evil will befall[H7122] you in the latter[H319] days[H3117]; because ye will do[H6213] that which is evil[H7451] in the sight[H5869] of Jehovah[H3068], to provoke him to anger[H3707] through the work[H4639] of your hands[H3027].
30. And Moses[H4872] spake[H1696] in the ears[H241] of all the assembly[H6951] of Israel[H3478] the words[H1697] of this song[H7892], until they were finished[H8552].
