Deuteronomy 31:1-3

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Joshua Becomes Moses’ Successor

31 So Moses continued to speak these words to all Israel. ² And he said to them, “I am a hundred and twenty years old this day; I am no longer able to go out and come in. The Lord has said to me, ‘You shall not go over this Jordan.’ ³ The Lord your God himself will go over before you; he will destroy these nations before you, so that you shall dispossess them; and Joshua will go over at your head, as the Lord has spoken.
