Chapter 31
1
Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.
2
And he said to them, "I am a hundred and twenty years old today. I am no longer able to go out and come in, and the LORD has said to me, 'You shall not cross this Jordan.'"
3
The LORD your God—he will cross over before you. He will destroy these nations before you, and you will possess them. Joshua—he will cross over before you, just as the LORD spoke.
4
The LORD will do to them just as he did to Sihon and Og, kings of the Amorites, and to their land, which he destroyed.
5
And the LORD will give them before you, and you shall do to them according to all the commandment that I have commanded you.
6
Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be terrified by them, for the LORD your God—he is the one going with you. He will not let you go slack, and he will not forsake you.
7
And Moses called to Joshua and said to him before the eyes of all Israel, "Be strong and courageous, for you will enter with this people into the land that the LORD swore to their fathers to give to them, and you will cause them to inherit it."
8
And the LORD—he is the one going before you; he will be with you. He will not slacken you, and he will not abandon you. Do not fear, and do not be dismayed.
