Moses
names Joshua to succeed him.
Deuteronomy 31:1416, 21-23
And the Lord
said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must
die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle
of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses
and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle
of the congregation. 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. And the Lord said unto Moses,
Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people
will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers
of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake
me, and break my covenant which I have made with them... ...And
it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen
them, that this song shall testify aagainst them as a witness;
for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed:
for I know their imagination which they go about, even now,
before I hvave brought them into the land which I sware.
Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it
the children of Israel. And he gave Joshua the son of Nun
a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou
shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware
unto them: and I will be with thee. (KJV)
