About this episode
Moses prepares to pass leadership to Joshua while warning Israel of their impending rebellion against God.
Now that Moses has given the statutes and ordinances to Israel a second time, he faces the end of his days at the direction of Almighty God. It is time to appoint and commission Joshua to lead the people in the stead of Moses, and God does so by appearing at the tent of meeting in a cloud. Sadly, the Lord tells Moses that the people he shepherded for so long will soon abandon God and His ways. Moses gives Israel a song to pass down which prophesies the coming wrath of God for Israel’s rebellion, focusing on God’s power over the worthless idols that Israel will turn to worship. After this warning, the Lord tells Moses that it is time to ascend Mount Nebo, where he will see the Promised Land before he dies. His final words are a pronouncement of blessings on each tribe of Israel.
