And the LORD said unto Moses, "Behold, thy days are come, that thou must die. Call Joshua and come and stand in the tabernacle of witness, that I may give him a charge." And Moses and Joshua went and stood in the tabernacle of witness. And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a cloudy pillar, and the same cloudy pillar stood in the door of the tabernacle. And the LORD said unto Moses, "Behold, thou must sleep with thy fathers, and this people will go a whoring after strange gods of the land whither they go and will forsake me and break the covenant which I have made with them. read more.
And then my wrath will wax hot against them, and I will forsake them and will hide my face from them, and they shall be consumed. And when much adversity and tribulation is come upon them, then they will say, 'Because our God is not among us, these tribulations are come upon us.' But I will hide my face that same time for all the evil's sake which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto strange gods. Now, therefore, write ye this song, and teach it the children of Israel and put it in their mouths - that this song may be my witness unto the children of Israel. For when I have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers that runneth with milk and honey, then they will eat and fill themselves and wax fat and turn unto strange gods and serve them and rail on me and break my covenant. And then, when much mischief and tribulation is come upon them, this song shall answer before them, and be a witness. It shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about even now before I have brought them into the land which I sware." And Moses wrote this song the same season, and taught it the children of Israel. And the Lord gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge and said, "Be bold and strong, for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them, and I will be with thee." When Moses had made an end of writing out the words of this law in a book, unto the end of them, he commanded the Levites which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying, "Take the book of this law and put it by the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and let it be there for a witness unto thee. For I know thy stubbornness and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been disobedient unto the LORD: and how much more after my death. Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears and call heaven and earth to record against them. For I am sure that after my death, they will utterly mar themselves and turn from the way which I commanded you, and tribulation will come upon you in the latter days, when ye have wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD to provoke him with the works of your hands." And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, unto the end of them.

And Moses went from the fields of Moab up into mount Nebo which is the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD showed him all the land of Gilead even unto Dan, and all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah: even unto the utmost sea, and the south and the region of the plain of Jericho the city of date trees, even unto Zoar. read more.
And the LORD said unto him, "This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, 'I will give it unto thy seed. I have showed it thee before thine eyes: but thou shalt not go over thither." So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab at the commandment of the LORD. And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab beside Bethpeor: but no man wist of his sepulchre unto this day. And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, and yet his eyes were not dim nor his cheeks abated.

For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin: because I know not what I do. For what I would, that do I not: but what I hate, that do I. If I do now that which I would not, I grant to the law that it is good. read more.
So then, now it is not I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me, that is to say, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing. To will is present with me: but I find no means to perform that which is good.

"And behold, ye are risen up in your father's stead, the increase of sinful men, to augment the fierce wrath of the LORD to Israelward.
And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, "Hear, ye rebellious, must we fetch you water out of this rock?"
'How,' said I, 'can I myself alone bear the cumbrance, charge, and strife that is among you?
And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, "At even ye shall know that it is the LORD which brought you out of the land of Egypt; and in the morning ye shall see the glory of the LORD: because he hath heard your grudgings against the LORD - for what are we that ye should murmur against us?"
And as soon as he came nigh unto the host and saw the calf and the dancing, his wrath waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hand, and brake them even at the hill foot. And the took the calf which they had made and burned it with fire, and stamped it unto powder and strowed it in the water, and made the children of Israel drink. And then Moses said unto Aaron, "What did this people unto thee that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?" read more.
And Aaron said, "Let not the wrath of my lord wax fierce, thou knowest the people that they are even set on mischief. They said unto me, 'Make us a god to go before us, for we wot not what is become of Moses, the fellow that brought us out of the land of Egypt.' And I said unto them, 'Let them that have gold, take and bring it me': and I cast it into the fire, and thereof came out this calf." When Moses saw that the people were naked - for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame when they made insurrection - he went and stood in the gate of the host and said, "If any man pertain unto the LORD, let him come to me." And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together and came unto him. And he said unto them, "Thus sayeth the LORD of Israel, 'Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the host: and slay every man his brother, every man his friend and every man his neighbor." And the children of Levi did as Moses had said. And there were slain of the people the same day, about three thousand men. Then Moses said, "Fill your hands unto the LORD this day, every man upon his son and upon his brother: to bring upon you a blessing this day." And on the morrow, Moses said unto the people, "Ye have sinned a great sin. But now I will go up unto the LORD, to wit whether I can make an atonement for your sin."
And Aaron said, "Let not the wrath of my lord wax fierce, thou knowest the people that they are even set on mischief.

And Moses said, "Wherefore will ye go on this manner beyond the word of the LORD? It will not come well to pass:
Notwithstanding, ye would not consent to go up, but were disobedient unto the mouth of the LORD your God, and murmured in your tents and said, 'Because the LORD hateth us, therefore he hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites and to destroy us. How shall we go up? Our brethren have discouraged our hearts, saying the people is greater and taller than we, and the cities are great and walled even up to heaven, and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.' read more.
And I said unto you, 'Dread not, nor be afraid of them: The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did unto you in Egypt before your eyes and in the wilderness: as thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee as a man should bear his son, throughout all the way which ye have gone, until ye came unto this place.' And yet for all this saying ye did not believe the LORD your God, which goeth the way before you to search you out a place to pitch your tents in; in fire by night - that ye might see what way to go - and in a cloud by day. And the LORD heard the voice of your words and was wroth and swore saying, 'There shall not one of these men of this froward generation see that good land which I sware to give unto your fathers, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him I will give the land which he hath walked in and to his children, because he hath continually followed the LORD.' Likewise the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, 'Thou also shalt not go in thither. But Joshua the son of Nun which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither. Bold him therefore, for he shall divide it unto Israel. Moreover, your children, which ye said should be a prey; and your sons, which know neither good nor bad this day; they shall go in thither and unto them I will give it, and they shall enjoy it. But as for you, turn back and take your journey into the wilderness: even the way to the reed sea.' Then ye answered and said unto me, 'We have sinned against the LORD: we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us.' And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war and were ready to go up into the hills, the LORD said unto me, 'Say unto them: see that ye go not up and that ye fight not, for I am not among you: lest ye be plagued before your enemies.' And when I told you, ye would not hear: but disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hills.

And when I looked and saw that ye had sinned against the LORD your God and had made you a calf of metal and had turned at once out of the way which the LORD had commanded you; Then I took the two tables and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes. And I fell before the LORD, even as at the first time - forty days and nights, and neither ate bread nor drank water - over all your sins which ye had sinned in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD and in provoking him. read more.
For I was afraid of the wrath and fierceness wherewith the LORD was angry with you, even for to have destroyed you; But the LORD heard my petition at that time also. The LORD was very angry with Aaron also, even for to have destroyed him: But I made intercession for Aaron also the same time. And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made and burnt him with fire and stamped him and ground him a-good, even unto small dust. And I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount. Also at Taberah and at Massah and at the sepulchres of lust ye angered the LORD. Yea, and when the LORD sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, 'Go up and conquer the land which I have given you,' ye disobeyed the mouth of the LORD your God, and neither believed him nor hearkened unto his voice. Thus ye have been disobedient unto the LORD, since the day that I knew you.

And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, "Ye have seen all, that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, unto Pharaoh and unto all his servants, and unto all his land, and the great temptations which thine eyes have seen, and those great miracles and wonders. And yet the LORD hath not given you a heart to perceive, nor eyes to see, nor ears to hear unto this day.
For I know thy stubbornness and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been disobedient unto the LORD: and how much more after my death. Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears and call heaven and earth to record against them.

"And Israel waxed fat, and kicked. Thou wast fat, thick and smooth. And he let God go, that made him; and despised the rock that saved him. They angered him with strange gods, and with abominations provoked him. They offered unto field-devils and not to God; and to gods which they knew not; and to new gods that came newly up, which their fathers feared not. read more.
