Deuteronomy 31:2

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.
