Deuteronomy 31:24-29
Lexham English Bible
24 And then when Moses finished writing[a] the words of this law on the scroll until they were complete,[b] 25 then Moses commanded the Levites carrying the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, saying,[c] 26 “Take the scroll of this law and put it at the side of the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, and it will be there as a witness against you. 27 For I know your rebellion and your stiff neck even now while I am still alive with you today,[d] rebelling against Yahweh, and how much more[e] after my death. 28 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officials, so that I may speak in their ears these words, and that I may call as witness against them heaven and earth. 29 For I know that after my death you will certainly act corruptly, and you will turn aside from the way that I have commanded you, and the disaster in the future days will befall you, because you will do evil[f] in the eyes of Yahweh, provoking him with the work of your hands.”[g]
