LEB translation

31:25 then Moses commanded the Levites carrying the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, saying,
31:26 “Take the scroll of this law and put it at the side of the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, and it will be there as a witness against you.
31:27 For I know your rebellion and your stiff neck even now while I am still alive with you today, rebelling against Yahweh, and how much more after my death.
31:28 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officials, so that I may speak in their ears these words, and that I may call as witness against them heaven and earth.
31:29 For I know that after my death you will certainly act corruptly, and you will turn aside from the way that I have commanded you, and the disaster in the future days will befall you, because you will do evil in the eyes of Yahweh, provoking him with the work of your hands.”
31:30 So Moses spoke into the ears of the assembly of Israel the words of this song until they were complete.

Gospel — Acts 23:12 - 23:22

LEB translation

23:12 A Conspiracy to Kill Paul And when it was day, the Jews made a conspiracy and bound themselves under a curse, saying they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.
23:13 Now there were more than forty who had made this conspiracy,
23:14 who went to the chief priests and the elders and said, “We have bound ourselves under a curse to partake of nothing until we have killed Paul.
23:15 Therefore, now you along with the Sanhedrin explain to the military tribune that he should bring him down to you, as if you were going to determine more accurately the things concerning him. And we are ready to do away with him before he comes near.”
23:16 But when the son of Paul’s sister heard about the ambush, he came and entered into the barracks and reported it to Paul.
23:17 So Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Bring this young man to the military tribune, because he has something to report to him.”
23:18 So he took him and brought him to the military tribune and said, “The prisoner Paul called me and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you.”
23:19 And the military tribune, taking hold of his hand and withdrawing privately, asked, “What is it that you have to report to me?”
23:20 And he said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you that you bring Paul down to the Sanhedrin tomorrow, as if they were going to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.
23:21 You therefore do not be persuaded by them, because more than forty men of their number are lying in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse neither to eat nor to drink until they have done away with him. And now they are ready, waiting for you to agree.”
23:22 So the military tribune sent the young man away, directing him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”
