Book of Jasher 87
Chapter 87
1.
At that time the Lord said to Moses,
Behold thy days are approaching to an end, take now Joshua the son of Nun thy
servant and place him in the tabernacle, and I will command him, and Moses did
so.
2.
And the Lord appeared in the
tabernacle in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood at the entrance
of the tabernacle.
3.
And the Lord commanded Joshua the son
of Nun and said unto him, Be strong and courageous, for thou shalt bring the children of
which I swore to give them, and I will be with thee.
4.
And Moses said to Joshua, Be strong
and courageous, for thou wilt make the children of Israel inherit the land, and
the Lord will be with thee, he will not leave thee nor forsake thee, be not
afraid nor disheartened.
5.
And Moses called to all the children
of
them, You have seen all the good which the Lord your God has done for you in
the wilderness.
6.
Now therefore observe all the words
of this law, and walk in the way of the Lord your God, turn not from the way
which the Lord has commanded you, either to the right or to the left.
7.
And Moses taught the children of
judgments and laws to do in the land as the Lord had commanded him.
8.
And he taught them the way of the
Lord and his laws; behold they are written upon the book of the law of God
which he gave to the children of
of Moses.
9.
And Moses finished commanding the
children of
Lord said to him, saying, Go up to the
there, and be gathered unto thy people as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
10.
And Moses went up as the Lord had
commanded him, and he died there in the
of the Lord, in the fortieth year from the Israelites going forth from the
11.
And the children of
Moses in the plains of
days, and the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were completed.
