Deuteronomy 31:13-15

New International Reader's Version

¹³ Their children must hear it read too. They don’t know this law yet. They too must learn to have respect for the Lord your God. They must honor him as long as you live in the land. You are about to go across the Jordan River and take that land as your very own.”

The Israelites Will Refuse to Obey the Lord

¹⁴ The Lord said to Moses, “The day when you will die is near. Have Joshua go to the tent of meeting. Join him there. That is where I will appoint him as the new leader.” So Joshua and Moses went to the tent of meeting.

¹⁵ Then the Lord appeared at the tent in a pillar of cloud. It stood over the entrance to the tent.
