Deuteronomy 31:8

⁸And the Lord who is your leader, he himself will be with thee: he will not leave thee, nor forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.c

Deuteronomy 31 marks a pivotal transition in Israel's history, as Moses, at 120 years old, prepares to hand over leadership to Joshua. This chapter emphasizes the continuity of God's covenant faithfulness, even as leadership changes. Moses commissions Joshua, assures the people of God's presence, and delivers the Law to the Levites for public reading. A somber prophecy of Israel's future rebellion and the consequences of their unfaithfulness is also revealed, setting a tension between divine promise and human frailty.
