What happensPermalink
Moses commissions Joshua in his place. Moses writes out the law and commands the priests to read it aloud every seven years. Moses writes a commemorative song dictated by God.
Why it mattersPermalink
Joshua will lead Israel into the Promised Land. The people will soon forget the requirement to read the law, and later they will forget the law itself.
Key versePermalink
And the Lord commissioned Joshua the son of Nun and said, “Be strong and courageous, for you shall bring the people of Israel into the land that I swore to give them. I will be with you.”
