31:1 And Moses 4872 went 3212 8799 and spake 1696 8762 these words 1697 unto all Israel 3478.

31:2 And he said 559 8799 unto them, I [am] an hundred 3967 and twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 this day 3117; I can 3201 8799 no more go out 3318 8800 and come in 935 8800: also the LORD 3068 hath said 559 8804 unto me, Thou shalt not go over 5674 8799 this Jordan 3383.

31:3 The LORD 3068 thy God 430, he will go over 5674 8802 before 6440 thee, [and] he will destroy 8045 8686 these nations 1471 from before 6440 thee, and thou shalt possess 3423 8804 them: [and] Joshua 3091, he shall go over 5674 8802 before 6440 thee, as the LORD 3068 hath said 1696 8765.

31:4 And the LORD 3068 shall do 6213 8804 unto them as he did 6213 8804 to Sihon 5511 and to Og 5747, kings 4428 of the Amorites 567, and unto the land 776 of them, whom he destroyed 8045 8689.

31:5 And the LORD 3068 shall give them up 5414 8804 before your face 6440, that ye may do 6213 8804 unto them according unto all the commandments 4687 which I have commanded 6680 8765 you.

31:6 Be strong 2388 8798 and of a good courage 553 8798, fear 3372 8799 not, nor be afraid 6206 8799 of them 6440: for the LORD 3068 thy God 430, he [it is] that doth go 1980 8802 with thee; he will not fail 7503 8686 thee, nor forsake 5800 8799 thee.

31:7 And Moses 4872 called 7121 8799 unto Joshua 3091, and said 559 8799 unto him in the sight 5869 of all Israel 3478, Be strong 2388 8798 and of a good courage 553 8798: for thou must go 935 8799 with this people 5971 unto the land 776 which the LORD 3068 hath sworn 7650 8738 unto their fathers 1 to give 5414 8800 them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit 5157 8686 it.

31:8 And the LORD 3068, he [it is] that doth go 1980 8802 before 6440 thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail 7503 8686 thee, neither forsake 5800 8799 thee: fear 3372 8799 not, neither be dismayed 2865 8735.

31:9 And Moses 4872 wrote 3789 8799 this law 8451, and delivered 5414 8799 it unto the priests 3548 the sons 1121 of Levi 3878, which bare 5375 8802 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068, and unto all the elders 2205 of Israel 3478.

31:10 And Moses 4872 commanded 6680 8762 them, saying 559 8800, At the end 7093 of [every] seven 7651 years 8141, in the solemnity 4150 of the year 8141 of release 8059, in the feast 2282 of tabernacles 5521,

31:11 When all Israel 3478 is come 935 8800 to appear 7200 8736 before 6440 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 in the place 4725 which he shall choose 977 8799, thou shalt read 7121 8799 this law 8451 before all Israel 3478 in their hearing 241.

31:12 Gather 6950 0 the people 5971 together 6950 8685, men 582, and women 802, and children 2945, and thy stranger 1616 that [is] within thy gates 8179, that they may hear 8085 8799, and that they may learn 3925 8799, and fear 3372 8804 the LORD 3068 your God 430, and observe 8104 8804 to do 6213 8800 all the words 1697 of this law 8451:

31:13 And [that] their children 1121, which have not known 3045 8804 [any thing], may hear 8085 8799, and learn 3925 8804 to fear 3372 8800 the LORD 3068 your God 430, as long as 3117 ye live 2416 in the land 127 whither ye go over 5674 8802 Jordan 3383 to possess 3423 8800 it.

31:14 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Moses 4872, Behold, thy days 3117 approach 7126 8804 that thou must die 4191 8800: call 7121 8798 Joshua 3091, and present 3320 8690 yourselves in the tabernacle 168 of the congregation 4150, that I may give him a charge 6680 8762. And Moses 4872 and Joshua 3091 went 3212 8799, and presented 3320 8691 themselves in the tabernacle 168 of the congregation 4150.

31:15 And the LORD 3068 appeared 7200 8735 in the tabernacle 168 in a pillar 5982 of a cloud 6051: and the pillar 5982 of the cloud 6051 stood 5975 8799 over the door 6607 of the tabernacle 168.

31:16 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Moses 4872, Behold, thou shalt sleep 7901 8802 with thy fathers 1; and this people 5971 will rise up 6965 8804, and go a whoring 2181 8804 after 310 the gods 430 of the strangers 5236 of the land 776, whither they go 935 8802 [to be] among 7130 them, and will forsake 5800 8804 me, and break 6565 8689 my covenant 1285 which I have made 3772 8804 with them.(sleep: Heb. lie down)

31:17 Then my anger 639 shall be kindled 2734 8804 against them in that day 3117, and I will forsake 5800 8804 them, and I will hide 5641 8689 my face 6440 from them, and they shall be devoured 398 8800, and many 7227 evils 7451 and troubles 6869 shall befall 4672 8804 them; so that they will say 559 8804 in that day 3117, Are not these evils 7451 come 4672 8804 upon us, because our God 430 [is] not among 7130 us?(befall: Heb. find)

31:18 And I will surely 5641 8687 hide 5641 8686 my face 6440 in that day 3117 for all the evils 7451 which they shall have wrought 6213 8804, in that 3588 they are turned 6437 8804 unto other 312 gods 430.

31:19 Now therefore write 3789 8798 ye this song 7892 for you, and teach 3925 8761 it the children 1121 of Israel 3478: put 7760 8798 it in their mouths 6310, that this song 7892 may be a witness 5707 for me against the children 1121 of Israel 3478.

31:20 For when I shall have brought 935 8686 them into the land 127 which I sware 7650 8738 unto their fathers 1, that floweth 2100 8802 with milk 2461 and honey 1706; and they shall have eaten 398 8804 and filled 7646 8804 themselves, and waxen fat 1878 8804; then will they turn 6437 8804 unto other 312 gods 430, and serve 5647 8804 them, and provoke 5006 8765 me, and break 6565 8689 my covenant 1285.

31:21 And it shall come to pass, when many 7227 evils 7451 and troubles 6869 are befallen 4672 8799 them, that this song 7892 shall testify 6030 8804 against 6440 them as a witness 5707; for it shall not be forgotten 7911 8735 out of the mouths 6310 of their seed 2233: for I know 3045 8804 their imagination 3336 which they go about 6213 8802, even now 3117, before I have brought 935 8686 them into the land 776 which I sware 7650 8738.(against: Heb. before)(go…: Heb. do)

31:22 Moses 4872 therefore wrote 3789 8799 this song 7892 the same day 3117, and taught 3925 8762 it the children 1121 of Israel 3478.

31:23 And he gave Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126 a charge 6680 8762, and said 559 8799, Be strong 2388 8798 and of a good courage 553 8798: for thou shalt bring 935 8686 the children 1121 of Israel 3478 into the land 776 which I sware 7650 8738 unto them: and I will be with thee.

31:24 And it came to pass, when Moses 4872 had made an end 3615 8763 of writing 3789 8800 the words 1697 of this law 8451 in a book 5612, until they were finished 8552 8800,

31:25 That Moses 4872 commanded 6680 8762 the Levites 3881, which bare 5375 8802 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068, saying 559 8800,

31:26 Take 3947 8800 this book 5612 of the law 8451, and put 7760 8804 it in the side 6654 of the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, that it may be there for a witness 5707 against thee.

31:27 For I know 3045 8804 thy rebellion 4805, and thy stiff 7186 neck 6203: behold, while I am yet alive 2416 with you this day 3117, ye have been rebellious 4784 8688 against the LORD 3068; and how much more after 310 my death 4194?

31:28 Gather 6950 8685 unto me all the elders 2205 of your tribes 7626, and your officers 7860 8802, that I may speak 1696 8762 these words 1697 in their ears 241, and call 5749 0 heaven 8064 and earth 776 to record 5749 8686 against them.

31:29 For I know 3045 8804 that after 310 my death 4194 ye will utterly 7843 8687 corrupt 7843 8686 [yourselves], and turn aside 5493 8804 from the way 1870 which I have commanded 6680 8765 you; and evil 7451 will befall 7122 8804 you in the latter 319 days 3117; because ye will do 6213 8799 evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, to provoke him to anger 3707 8687 through the work 4639 of your hands 3027.

31:30 And Moses 4872 spake 1696 8762 in the ears 241 of all the congregation 6951 of Israel 3478 the words 1697 of this song 7892, until they were ended 8552 8800.
