1So Moses rolled up and dropped these words to all of Israel.

2He was like, "Yo, I'm 120 years old today; I can't really vibe with going in and out anymore. Plus, the Lord said I can't cross this Jordan."

3The Lord your God is gonna roll out before you, and he's gonna wipe out those nations for you, and you’ll take over. Joshua's got your back, just like the Lord said.

4The Lord's gonna do to them what he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, and their land, which he totally wrecked.

5The Lord’s gonna hand them over to you, so you can flex on them with all the commandments I gave you.

6Stay strong and brave, fam; don’t be scared of them, 'cause the Lord your God is with you; he won’t bail on you or ghost you.

7Moses called out to Joshua in front of all Israel, saying, "Stay strong and brave; you gotta lead this crew into the land the Lord promised their ancestors, and you’ll help them take it."

8The Lord’s the one going before you; he’s got your back, won’t let you down, or leave you hanging: don’t be scared or stressed.

9Moses wrote down this law and passed it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the Lord’s covenant ark, and to all the elders of Israel.

10Moses told them, "At the end of every seven years, during the year of release, and at the feast of tabernacles, do this."

11When all of Israel rolls up to vibe with the Lord, you gotta read this law loud for everyone to hear, no cap.

12Gather everyone, fam—men, women, kids, and even the homies chillin' in your gates—so they can hear, learn, and fear the Lord, periodt.

13And the kiddos who haven’t peeped anything yet can hear and learn to respect the Lord your God, as long as you’re living in that land you’re about to own across the Jordan.

14The Lord told Moses, "Yo, your time is coming, you gotta call Joshua and meet up at the tabernacle so I can give him the lowdown." So Moses and Joshua pulled up to the tabernacle.

15The Lord showed up in the tabernacle as a lit pillar of cloud, chillin' right at the door.

16The Lord said to Moses, "You’re about to catch some Z's with your fam; but this crew will bounce and start vibing with the foreign gods over there, ditching me and breaking the deal we had."

17My anger's gonna pop off against them that day; I’ll ghost them and hide my face, and they’ll get wrecked with all kinds of drama, and they’ll be like, "Did these bad vibes come 'cause our God ain't here?"

18For real, I’ll definitely hide my face that day for all the bad stuff they’ve done, turning to other gods and whatnot.

19So write this song for yourselves and teach it to the kids of Israel; make sure they know it so it can be a witness for me against them.

20'Cause when I bring them into the land I promised their ancestors, a place flowing with milk and honey, and they’re feasting and getting all comfy, they’ll switch to other gods, serve them, and totally provoke me, breaking our covenant.

21When all the drama and bad vibes hit, this song’s gonna call you out, no cap; it ain't gonna be forgotten by your kids, 'cause I see how you be thinkin', even now, before I bring you into the promised land I promised.

22So, Moses dropped this song on the same day and schooled the kids of Israel.

23He told Joshua, "Yo, be strong and keep that good energy; you’re gonna lead the fam into the land I promised, and I got your back."

24After Moses wrapped up writing all these laws in a book, he was done, periodt.

25Then Moses hit up the Levites who carried the ark of the Lord’s covenant, saying,

26"Take this law book and stash it by the ark of the Lord your God, so it can vibe against you."

27I see your rebellion and stubbornness; look, while I'm still here, you’ve been acting up against the Lord, and it’s gonna get worse when I’m gone.

28Bring all the elders and officers to me, so I can drop these words in their ears and call heaven and earth to witness against them.

29I know that after I'm gone, you’ll totally mess things up and stray from what I told you; bad stuff is coming in the future 'cause you’ll do evil in the Lord’s sight and make Him mad with your actions.

30Moses shared this song with all the Israelites until he was done, for real.

1And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel.

2And 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.

3The 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.

4And 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.

5And 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.

6Be 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.

7And 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.

8And 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.

9And 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.

10And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,

11When 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.

12Gather 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:

13And 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.

14And 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.

15And 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.

16And 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.

17Then 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?

18And 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.

19Now 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.

20For 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.

21And 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.

22Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.

23And 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.

24And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,

25That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying,

26Take 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.

27For 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?

28Gather 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.

29For 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.

30And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.
