Deuteronomy 31:26

²⁴And when Moses finished writing all the words of this law in a book, even to the end,

²⁵then he charged the Levites who bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying,

— Deuteronomy 31:26 —

²⁷For I know thy provocation, and thy stiff neck; for yet during my life with you at this day, ye have been provoking in your conduct toward God: how shall ye not also be so after my death?

²⁸Gather together to me the heads of your tribes, and your elders, and your judges, and your officers, that I may speak in their ears all these words; and I call both heaven and earth to witness against them.
