*
Then Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel .
*
And he said to them : "
I am one hundred and twenty years old today .
I can no longer go out and come in .
Also the LORD has said to me , "
You shall not cross over this Jordan .'
*
The LORD your God Himself crosses over before you ;
He will destroy these nations from before you ,
and you shall dispossess them .
Joshua himself crosses over before you ,
just as the LORD has said .
*
And the LORD will do to them as He did to Sihon and Og ,
the kings of the Amorites and their land ,
when He destroyed them .
*
The LORD will give them over to you ,
that you may do to them according to every commandment which I have commanded you .
*
Be strong and of good courage ,
do not fear nor be afraid of them ;
for the LORD your God ,
He is the One who goes with you .
He will not leave you nor forsake you ."
*
Then Moses called Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel , "
Be strong and of good courage ,
for you must go with this people to the land which the LORD has sworn to their fathers to give them ,
and you shall cause them to inherit it .
*
And the LORD ,
He is the One who goes before you .
He will be with you ,
He will not leave you nor forsake you ;
do not fear nor be dismayed ."
*
So Moses wrote this law and delivered it to the priests ,
the sons of Levi ,
who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD ,
and to all the elders of Israel .
*
And Moses commanded them ,
saying : "
At the end of every seven years ,
at the appointed time in the year of release ,
at the Feast of Tabernacles ,
*
when all Israel comes to appear before the LORD your God in the place which He chooses ,
you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing .
*
Gather the people together ,
men and women and little ones ,
and the stranger who is within your gates ,
that they may hear and that they may learn to fear the LORD your God and carefully observe all the words of this law ,
*
and that their children ,
who have not known it ,
may hear and learn to fear the LORD your God as long as you live in the land which you cross the Jordan to possess ."
