These Are the Words (Deuteronomy) 31

 1 Drawn (Moses) went and spoke these words to all God Prevails (Israel).

 2 He said to them: I am a hundred-twenty-years old this day; I can no longer go out and come in. I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has said to me: You shall not go over The Descender (Jordan).

 3 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym), He will go over before you, and He will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall possess them: and I AM is Salvation (Joshua) shall go over before you, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has said.

 4 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) shall do to them as He did to Warrior (Sihon) and to Long-Necked (Og), kings of The Talkers, Sayers (Amorite), and to the land of them, whom He destroyed.

 5 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) shall give them up before your face, that you may do to them according to all the commandments which I have commanded you.

 6 Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym), He it is that goes with you; He will not fail you, nor forsake you.

 7 Then Drawn (Moses) called to I AM is Salvation (Joshua), and said to him in the sight of all God Prevails (Israel), Be strong and of good courage: for you must go with this people to the land which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has sworn to their fathers to give them. You shall cause them to inherit it.

 8 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), it is He that goes before you; He will be with you, He will not fail you, neither forsake you: fear not, neither be dismayed.

 9 Then Drawn (Moses) wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests the sons of Joined To (Levi), which bore the ark of the covenant of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), and to all the elders of God Prevails (Israel).

 10 And Drawn (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 God Prevails (Israel) is come to appear before I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) in the place which He shall choose, you shall read this law before all God Prevails (Israel) in their hearing.

 12 Gather the people together, men and women, and children, and the stranger that is within your gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym), and observe to do all the words of this law:

 13 And that their children, which have not known anything, may hear, and learn to fear I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym), as long as you live in the land whither you go over The Descender (Jordan) to possess it.

 14 Then I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses): Behold, the day is approaching that you must die: call I AM is Salvation (Joshua), and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. So Drawn (Moses) and I AM is Salvation (Joshua) went and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.

 15 There I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.

 16 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses): Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, where they go to be among them, and will forsake Me, and break My covenant which I have made with them.

 17 Then My anger shall be kindled against them in that day. I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God ('Elohiym) is not among us?

 18 I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned to other gods.

 19 Now, therefore, write this song, and teach it the children of God Prevails (Israel): put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of God Prevails (Israel).

 20 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, that flows with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and become fat; then will they turn to other gods, and serve them, and provoke Me, and break My covenant.

 21 It shall come to pass when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I swore.

 22 Drawn (Moses) therefore wrote this song the same day and taught it to the children of God Prevails (Israel).

23 He gave I AM is Salvation (Joshua) the son of Posterity (Nun) a charge, and said: Be strong and of good courage: for you shall bring the children of God Prevails (Israel) into the land which I swore to them: and I will be with you.

 24 It came to pass when Drawn (Moses) had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book until they were finished,

 25 That Drawn (Moses) commanded the Joined To (Levites), which bore the ark of the covenant of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), saying,

26 Take this book of the law, and put it inside of the ark of the covenant of the I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym), that it may be there for a witness against you.

 27 For I know your rebellion, and your stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, you have been rebellious against I AM (the LORD, Yehovah); and how much more after my death?

 28 Gather to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.

 29 For I know that after my death you will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you, and evil will befall you in the latter days; because you will do evil in the sight of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), to provoke Him to anger through the work of your hands.

 30 This Drawn (Moses) spoke in the ears of all the congregation of God Prevails (Israel) the words of this song until they were ended.
