Deuteronomy 31:22-28 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

22. So Moses wrote down the song that day. And he taught it to the Israelites.

23. Then the Lord gave this command to Joshua son of Nun: “Be strong and brave. Lead the people of Israel to the land I promised them. And I will be with you.”

24. Moses wrote all the words of the teachings in a book.

25. Then he gave a command to the Levites. They carried the Ark of the Covenant with the Lord.

26. He said, “Take this Book of the Teachings. Put it beside the Ark of the Covenant with the Lord your God. It must stay there as a witness against you.

27. I know how stubborn and disobedient you are. You have disobeyed the Lord while I am alive and with you. You will disobey even more after I die!

28. Gather all the older leaders of your tribes and all your officers. I will say these things for them to hear. And I will ask heaven and earth to testify against them.
