Deuteronomy 31:1-3

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

Joshua Becomes Moses’ Successor

31 When Moses had finished speaking all^[a] these words to all Israel, ² he said to them: ‘I am now a hundred and twenty years old. I am no longer able to get about, and the Lord has told me, “You shall not cross over this Jordan.” ³ The Lord your God himself will cross over before you. He will destroy these nations before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua also will cross over before you, as the Lord promised.
