Deuteronomy 29-34
The terms of God's covenant with the Israelites is given again by Moses. He also reminded them of all that they had witnessed, including the trials, signs, and wonders. The Lord's faithfulness and daily provision during their time in the desert was witness of His continued presence with them. Moses said, " the things revealed by the Lord our God belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of His laws.... And you shall love the Lord your God, walk in His ways, and then you will live.. and the Lord your God will bless you." He told them to choose life, by loving God, listening to His voice, and holding fast to him, "for the Lord is your life". Moses summoned Joshua and instructed him to be strong and courageous, taking now the responsibility of leading God's people, "Do not be afraid, for the Lord goes with you, he will never leave you nor forsake you". Then the Lord appeared at the Tent in the pillar of cloud and said to Moses, "You are going to rest with your fathers". And the Lord spoke directly to Joshua, "Be strong and courageous, for you will bring the Israelites into the land I promised them on oath, and I myself will be with you." Moses spoke before all the people and leaders, "Oh, praise the greatness of our God! He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he." Moses went up to Mount Nebo that day, seeing the promised land from a distance, and died.
