Deuteronomy 11:24-25

     24. Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours—not as if the Jews should be lords of the world, but of every place within the promised land. It should be granted to them and possessed by them, on conditions of obedience:

      from the wilderness—the Arabah on the south;

      Lebanon—the northern limit;

      Euphrates—their boundary on the east. Their grant of dominion extended so far, and the right was fulfilled to Solomon.

      even unto the uttermost sea—the Mediterranean.

     18-25. lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them—(See on De 6:1).

Deuteronomy 31:6-8

     2-8. also the Lord hath said—should be "for the Lord hath said" thou shalt not go over this Jordan. While taking a solemn leave of the people, Moses exhorted them not to be intimidated by the menacing opposition of enemies; to take encouragement from the continued presence of their covenanted God; and to rest assured that the same divine power, which had enabled them to discomfit their first assailants on the east of Jordan, would aid them not less effectually in the adventurous enterprise which they were about to undertake, and by which they would obtain possession of "the land which He had sworn unto their fathers to give them."

     De 31:9-13. HE DELIVERS THE LAW TO THE PRIESTS, TO READ IT EVERY SEVENTH YEAR TO THE PEOPLE.

Deuteronomy 31:23
