Old TestamentDeuteronomyThe Law Placed in the Ark · 31:24–2931:24 And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,31:25 That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying,31:26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.31:27 For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?31:28 Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.31:29 For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.
