Deuteronomy 31:26-28

The Voice

Moses: ²⁶ Take this book of the law, and put it next to the covenant chest of the Eternal your God, so it will be there as a witness against you. ²⁷ I know how stubborn and rebellious you are. Even now, while I’m still alive and here with you, you’ve been rebelling against the Eternal. I can only imagine what you’ll do when I’m dead! ²⁸ Bring all the tribes’ elders and representatives here so they can listen to everything I must say, and so I can call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against them.
