JOSHUA TO SUCCEED MOSES

Joshua to Succeed Moses. It is the LORD your God who will cross ahead of you; He will destroy these nations before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua is the one who will go across before you [to lead you], just as the LORD has said.

PROMISES TO RETURNING WANDERERS

THE PENALTY OF SERVING FALSE GODS

but with those [future Israelites] who are not here with us today, as well as with those who stand here with us today in the presence of the LORD our God

THE BITTER FRUITS OF DISOBEYING GOD

. “The LORD will bring a nation against you from far away, from the end of the earth, [as swift] as the eagle swoops down [to attack], a nation whose language you will not understand,
a defiant nation who will have no respect for the old, nor show favor to the young,
and it will eat the offspring of your herd and the produce of your ground until you are destroyed, who will leave you no grain, new wine, or oil, nor the offspring of your herd or the young of your flock until they have caused you to perish.
