Deuteronomy 31:1

Joshua the New Leader of Israel

1 Then Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.

2 And he said to them: “I ^aam one hundred and twenty years old today. I can no longer ^bgo out and come in. Also the Lord has said to me, ^c‘You shall not cross over this Jordan.’

3 The Lord your God ^aHimself crosses over before you; He will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. ^bJoshua himself crosses over before you, just ^cas the Lord has said.

4 ^aAnd the Lord will do to them ^bas He did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites and their land, when He destroyed them.

5 ^aThe Lord will give them over to you, that you may do to them according to every commandment which I have commanded you.

6 ^aBe strong and of good courage, ^bdo not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, ^cHe is the One who goes with you. ^dHe will not leave you nor forsake you.”

7 Then Moses called Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, ^a“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.

8 And the Lord, ^aHe is the One who goes before you. ^bHe will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”

10 And Moses commanded them, saying: “At the end of every seven years, at the appointed time in the ^ayear of release, ^bat the Feast of Tabernacles,
