Deuteronomy

Public Reading of the Law

Chapter 31
9 And Moses wrote this Torah and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, the bearers of the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD, and to all the elders of Israel. 10 Moses commanded them, saying, "At the end of seven years, at the appointed time, in the year of release, at the feast of booths." 11 When all Israel comes to see the face of the LORD your God in the place which He will choose, you shall read this Torah before all Israel in their hearing. 12 Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones and your sojourner who are in your gates, in order that they may hear and learn and fear the LORD your God and keep all the words of this Torah. 13 And their sons who have not known them shall hear and learn to fear the LORD your God all the days that you are alive on the ground that you are crossing the Jordan there to possess it.
