Deuteronomy 31:14-16

English Standard Version

Joshua Commissioned to Lead Israel

¹⁴ And the Lord said to Moses, ^(A)“Behold, the days approach when you must die. Call Joshua and present yourselves in the tent of meeting, that ^(B)I may commission him.” And Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves in the tent of meeting. ¹⁵ And ^(C)the Lord appeared in the tent in a pillar of cloud. And the pillar of cloud stood over the entrance of the tent.

¹⁶ And the Lord said to Moses, ^(D)“Behold, you are about to lie down with your fathers. Then this people will rise and ^(E)whore after the foreign gods among them in the land that they are entering, and they will ^(F)forsake me and ^(G)break my covenant that I have made with them.
