they may hear, and that they may LEARN, and FEAR the LORD your GOD, and OBSERVE to do all the WORDS of this Law:

13 And that their CHILDREN which have not known any thing, may HEAR and LEARN to FEAR the LORD your GOD, as long as ye live in the Land whither ye go over Jordan to poffefs it.

14 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, Behold, thy Days approach that thou must DIE: call Jofhua, and prefent yourselves in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, that I may give him a Charge. And Mofes and Jofhua went, and prefented themfelves in the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

15 And the LORD appeared in the Tabernacle in a PILLAR of a CLOUD: and the Pillar of the Cloud stood over the Door of the Tabernacle.

16 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, Behold, thou shalt SLEEP with thy Fathers, and this People will rife up, and go a whoring after the Gods of the Strangers of the Land whither they go to be amongst them, and will FORSAKE me, and break my Covenant which I have made with them.

17 Then my Anger fhall be kindled against them in that Day, and I will FORSAKE them, and I will HIDE my Face from them, and they fhall be devoured, and many Evils and Troubles fhall befal them, fo that they will fay in that Day, Are not thefe EVILS come upon us, becaufe our GOD is not AMONGST us?

18 And I will furely HIDE my FACE in that Day, for all the EVILS which they fhall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other Gods.

19 Now therefore write ye this SONG for you, and TEACH it the CHILDREN of Ifrael: put it in their MOUTHS, that this Sone may be a Witnefs for me against the Children of Ifrael.

20 For when I fhall have brought them into the Land which I fware unto their Fathers, that floweth with Milk and Honey; and they fhall have eaten, and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other Gods, and ferve them, and provoke me, and break my Covenant.

21 And it fhall come to pafs when MANY EVILS and Troubles are befallen them, that this SONG fhall TESTIFY against them as a WITNESS: for it fhall not be forgotten out of the Mouths of their Seed: for I know their IMAGI

NATION which they go about, even Now before I have brought them into the Land which I fware.

22 Mofes therefore wrote this SONG the fame Day, and taught it the Children of Ifrael.

23 And he gave Jofhua a Charge, and faid, Be STRONG and of a good COURAGE: for thou fhalt bring the Children of Ifrael into the Land which I fware unto them: and I will be with thee.

24 And it came to pafs when Mofes had made an end of writing the WORDS of this Law in a Book, until they were finished;

25 That Mofes commanded the Levites which bare the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD, faying,

26 Take this Book of the Law, and put it in the Side of the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD your Gop, that it may be there for a WITNESS against thee.

27 For I know thy Rebellion, and thy ftiff 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 thefe 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 yourfelves, and turn afide from the WAY which I have commanded you and EVIL will befal you in the LATTER DAYS, becaufe ye will do Evil in the fight of the LORD, to provoke him to ANGER through the Work of your Hands.

8 f When the most High divided to the Nations their Inheritance, when he SEPARATED the Sons of Adam, he fet the Bounds of the People according to the Number of the Children of Ifrael.

9 For the LORD's Portion is his People: Jacob is the Lot of his Inheritance.

* Ads xvii. 24 GOD that made the World, and all Things therein, feeing that he is LORD of Heaven and Earth, dwelleth not in Temples made with Hands:

25 Neither is worshipped with Mens Hands, as though he NEEDED any thing feeing he giveth to all LIFE, and BREATH, and all Things;

26 And hath made of ONE BLOOD

all Nations of Men, for to dwell on

all the Face of the Earth, and hath DETERMINED the TIMES before ap

pointed, and the BOUNDS of their HABITATION: 27 That they fhould SEEK the LORD if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 For in him we LIVE, and MOVE, and have our BEING.

10 He found him in a defert Land, and in the wafte howling Wilderness he led him about, he inftructed him, he kept him as the Apple of his Eye.

II 11 As an Eagle stirreth up her Neft, fluttereth over her Young, SPREADETH 2broad her WINGS, taketh them, beareth them on her Wings.

12 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no ftrange God with him.

17 They SACRIFICED unto DEVILS, NOT to GOD; to Gods whom they knew not, to new Gods that came newly up, whom your Fathers feared not.

18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and haft forgotten GOD that formed thee.

19 And when the LORD faw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his Sons, and of his Daughters.

20 And he faid, I will hide my Face from them, I will fee what their End fhall be: for they are a very froward Generation, Children in whom is no Faith.

21 They have MOVED me to JEALOUSY with that which is not God, they have PROVOKED me to ANGER with their VANITIES: and I will move them to JEALOUSY with those which are not a People, I will provoke them to Anger with a foolish Nation.
