## Chapter 31

Introduction Chapters 1 to 4 Chapters 5 to 7 Chapters 8 to 11 Chapters 12 and 13 Chapters 14 and 15 Chapters 16 and 17 Chapter 18 Chapters 19 to 21 Chapters 22 to 25 Chapter 26 Chapter 27 Chapters 28 and 29 Chapter 30 Chapter 31 Chapter 32 Chapter 33 Chapter 34 | #### Joshua the leader into the promised land: the law a written witness against the people In chapter 31 he introduces Joshua, as the leader under whom the people were to take possession of the promised land. He orders that the law should be read before all every seventh year, in order that every one might take notice of it, in that solemn moment when, enjoying afresh, as it were, the blessing which it secured to them, they submitted to it as a testimony that the land, as well as everything, belonged to Jehovah. Afterwards, when Joshua is established in his charge, Moses is ordered to communicate to the people a song inspired of God, which, based upon the certainty of the iniquity of the people, announces the ways of the Lord towards them; commanding the Levites, at the same time, to put the written law by the side of the ark, as a witness against the people. |
