*
Then the Lorde saide vnto Moses ,
Beholde ,
thy dayes are come ,
that thou must die :
Call Ioshua ,
and stande ye in the Tabernacle of the Congregation that I may giue him a charge .
So Moses and Ioshua went ,
and stoode in the Tabernacle of the Congregation .
*
And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a (

In a cloud that was fashioned like a pillar .(:

cloud :
and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle .
*
And the Lorde said vnto Moses ,
Behold ,
thou shalt sleepe with thy fathers ,
and this people will rise vp ,
and goe a whoring after the gods of a strange land (
whither they goe to dwell therein )
and will forsake me ,
and breake my couenant which I haue made with them .
*
Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day ,
and I will forsake them ,
and I will (
note :)
That is ,
I will take my favour from them ;
as turning his face toward us shows his favour .(:
note )
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 [
is ]
not among us ?
*
But I will surely hide my face in that day ,
because of all the euill ,
which they shall commit ,
in that they are turned vnto other gods .
*
Now therefore write ye this (
note :)
To preserve you and your children from idolatry ,
by remembering God '
s benefits .(:
note )
song for you ,
and teach it the children of Israel :
put it in their mouths ,
that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel .
*
For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers ,
that floweth with milk and honey ;
and they shall have eaten and filled themselves ,
and waxen fat ; (
note :)
For this is the nature of flesh ,
no longer to obey God ,
than it is under the rod .(:
note )
then will they turn unto other gods ,
and serve them ,
and provoke me ,
and break my covenant .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
when many evils and troubles are befallen them ,
that this song shall (
note :)
That these evils are come upon them ,
because they have forsaken me .(:
note )
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 sware .
*
Moses therefore wrote this song the same day and taught it the children of Israel .
*
And God gaue Ioshua the sonne of Nun a charge ,
and said ,
Be strong ,
and of a good courage :
for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the lande ,
which I sware vnto them ,
and I will be with thee .
*
And when Moses had made an ende of writing the wordes of this Lawe in a booke vntill he had finished them ,
*
Then Moses commaunded the Leuites ,
which bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lorde ,
saying ,
*
Take this book of the law ,
and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God ,
that it may be there for a (

when you turn away from the doctrine contained in it .(:

witness against thee .
*
For I knowe thy rebellion and thy stiffe necke :
beholde ,
I being yet aliue with you this day ,
ye are rebellious against the Lorde :
howe much more then after my death ?
*
Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes ,
and your (

As governors ,
judges and magistrates .(:

officers ,
that I may speak these words in their ears ,
and call heaven and earth to record against them .
*
For I know that after my death ye 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 ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD ,
to provoke him to anger through the (
