Deuteronomy 31:9-13
Lexham English Bible
9 So Moses wrote this law, and he gave it to the priests, the descendants[a] of Levi, the ones carrying the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and to all the elders of Israel.
10 Then Moses commanded them, saying,[b] “At the end of seven years, in the time of the year for canceling debts during the Feast of Booths, 11 when all Israel comes to appear before[c] Yahweh their God at the place that he will choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.[d] 12 Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little children and your aliens that are in your towns,[e] so that they may hear and so that they may learn and they may revere Yahweh your God, and they shall diligently observe[f] all the words of this law. 13 And then their children,[g] who have not known, they too may hear, and they may learn to revere Yahweh their God all the days that you live[h] on the land that you are crossing the Jordan to get there[i] to take possession of it.”
