24 And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished, |
25 That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying, |
26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. |
27 For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death? |
28 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. |
29 For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands. |
30 And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended. |
