31
And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel.
2
And he said unto them, I
am
an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
3
The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee,
and
he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them:
and
Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.
4
And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he destroyed.
5
And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you.
6
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he
it is
that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
7
And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the LORD hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.
8
And the LORD, he
it is
that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
9
And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel.
10
And 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 Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
12
Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that
is
within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:
13
And
that
their children, which have not known
any thing,
may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
14
And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.
15
And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.
16
And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither 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, and 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
is
not among us?
18
And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods.
19
Now therefore write ye this 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.
20
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; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.
21
And 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 sware.
22
Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.
23
And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee.
24
And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,
25
That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying,
26
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 witness against thee.
27
For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?
28
Gather unto 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 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 work of your hands.
30
And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.
32
Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2
My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
3
Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
4
He is
the Rock, his work
is
perfect: for all his ways
are
judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right
is
he.
5
They have corrupted themselves, their spot
is
not
the spot
of his children:
they are
a perverse and crooked generation.
6
Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise?
is
not he thy father
that
hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
7
Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
8
When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
9
For the LORD’S portion
is
his people; Jacob
is
the lot of his inheritance.
10
He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11
As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
12
So
the LORD alone did lead him, and
there was
no strange god with him.
13
He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
14
Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
15
But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered
with fatness;
then he forsook God
which
made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16
They provoked him to jealousy with strange
gods,
with abominations provoked they him to anger.
17
They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new
gods that
came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18
Of the Rock
that
begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19
And when the LORD saw
it,
he abhorred
them,
because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
20
And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end
shall be:
for they
are
a very froward generation, children in whom
is
no faith.
21
They have moved me to jealousy with
that which is
not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with
those which are
not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
22
For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23
I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
24
They shall be
burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
25
The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling
also
with the man of gray hairs.
26
I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
27
Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely,
and
lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this.
28
For they
are
a nation void of counsel, neither
is there any
understanding in them.
29
O that they were wise,
that
they understood this,
that
they would consider their latter end!
30
How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
31
For their rock
is
not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves
being
judges.
32
For their vine
is
of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes
are
grapes of gall, their clusters
are
bitter:
33
Their wine
is
the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
34
Is
not this laid up in store with me,
and
sealed up among my treasures?
35
To me
belongeth
vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in
due
time: for the day of their calamity
is
at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36
For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that
their
power is gone, and
there is
none shut up, or left.
37
And he shall say, Where
are
their gods,
their
rock in whom they trusted,
38
Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices,
and
drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you,
and
be your protection.
39
See now that I,
even
I,
am
he, and
there is
no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither
is there any
that can deliver out of my hand.
40
For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
41
If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42
I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh;
and that
with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
43
Rejoice, O ye nations,
with
his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land,
and
to his people.
44
And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
45
And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:
46
And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
47
For it
is
not a vain thing for you; because it
is
your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong
your
days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
48
And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,
49
Get thee up into this mountain Abarim,
unto
mount Nebo, which
is
in the land of Moab, that
is
over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:
50
And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:
51
Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
52
Yet thou shalt see the land before
thee;
but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
33
And this
is
the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
2
And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand
went
a fiery law for them.
3
Yea, he loved the people; all his saints
are
in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet;
every one
shall receive of thy words.
4
Moses commanded us a law,
even
the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
5
And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people
and
the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
6
Let Reuben live, and not die; and let
not
his men be few.
7
And this
is the blessing
of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help
to him
from his enemies.
8
And of Levi he said,
Let
thy Thummim and thy Urim
be
with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah,
and with
whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
9
Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.
10
They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.
11
Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.
12
And
of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him;
and the LORD
shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.
13
And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD
be
his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
14
And for the precious fruits
brought forth
by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
15
And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,
16
And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and
for
the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let
the blessing
come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him
that was
separated from his brethren.
17
His glory
is like
the firstling of his bullock, and his horns
are like
the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they
are
the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they
are
the thousands of Manasseh.
18
And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.
19
They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck
of
the abundance of the seas, and
of
treasures hid in the sand.
20
And of Gad he said, Blessed
be
he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head.
21
And he provided the first part for himself, because there,
in
a portion of the lawgiver,
was he
seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel.
22
And of Dan he said, Dan
is
a lion’s whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.
23
And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south.
24
And of Asher he said,
Let
Asher
be
blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.
25
Thy shoes
shall be
iron and brass; and as thy days,
so shall
thy strength
be.
26
There is
none like unto the God of Jeshurun,
who
rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
27
The eternal God
is thy
refuge, and underneath
are
the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy
them.
28
Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob
shall be
upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.
29
Happy
art
thou, O Israel: who
is
like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who
is
the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
34
And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that
is
over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,
2
And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,
3
And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.
4
And the LORD said unto him, This
is
the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see
it
with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
5
So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
6
And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Beth-peor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
7
And Moses
was
an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
8
And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping
and
mourning for Moses were ended.
9
And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.
10
And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,
11
In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
12
And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.
The Book of Joshua
1
Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,
2
Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them,
even
to the children of Israel.
3
Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
4
From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
5
There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses,
so
I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
6
Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7
Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it
to
the right hand or
to
the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
8
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
9
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God
is
with thee whithersoever thou goest.
10
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
11
Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.
12
And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,
13
Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.
14
Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;
15
Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as
he hath given
you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD’S servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.
16
And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
17
According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
18
Whosoever
he be
that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
