וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-מֹשֶׁה, הֵן קָרְבוּ יָמֶיךָ לָמוּת--קְרָא אֶת-יְהוֹשֻׁעַ וְהִתְיַצְּבוּ בְּאֹהֶל מוֹעֵד, וַאֲצַוֶּנּוּ; וַיֵּלֶךְ מֹשֶׁה וִיהוֹשֻׁעַ, וַיִּתְיַצְּבוּ בְּאֹהֶל מוֹעֵד. וַיֵּרָא יְהוָה בָּאֹהֶל, בְּעַמּוּד עָנָן; וַיַּעֲמֹד עַמּוּד הֶעָנָן, עַל-פֶּתַח הָאֹהֶל. וַיְצַו אֶת-יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בִּן-נוּן, וַיֹּאמֶר חֲזַק וֶאֱמָץ--כִּי אַתָּה תָּבִיא אֶת-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, אֶל-הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר-נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי לָהֶם; וְאָנֹכִי, אֶהְיֶה עִמָּךְ

זָכוֹר, אֵת אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה לְךָ עֲמָלֵק, בַּדֶּרֶךְ, בְּצֵאתְכֶם מִמִּצְרָיִם. אֲשֶׁר קָרְךָ בַּדֶּרֶךְ, וַיְזַנֵּב בְּךָ כָּל-הַנֶּחֱשָׁלִים אַחֲרֶיךָ--וְאַתָּה, עָיֵף וְיָגֵעַ; וְלֹא יָרֵא, אֱלֹהִים. וְהָיָה בְּהָנִיחַ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לְךָ מִכָּל-אֹיְבֶיךָ מִסָּבִיב, בָּאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר יְהוָה-אֱלֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵן לְךָ נַחֲלָה לְרִשְׁתָּהּ--תִּמְחֶה אֶת-זֵכֶר עֲמָלֵק, מִתַּחַת הַשָּׁמָיִם; לֹא, תִּשְׁכָּח

וַיְדַבֵּר מֹשֶׁה, בְּאָזְנֵי כָּל-קְהַל יִשְׂרָאֵל, אֶת-דִּבְרֵי הַשִּׁירָה, הַזֹּאת--עַד, תֻּמָּם

הַאֲזִינוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם, וַאֲדַבֵּרָה

וְתִשְׁמַע הָאָרֶץ, אִמְרֵי-פִי

יַעֲרֹף כַּמָּטָר לִקְחִי

תִּזַּל כַּטַּל אִמְרָתִי

כִּשְׂעִירִם עֲלֵי-דֶשֶׁא

וְכִרְבִיבִים עֲלֵי-עֵשֶׂב

כִּי שֵׁם יְהוָה, אֶקְרָא

הָבוּ גֹדֶל, לֵאלֹהֵינוּ

הַצּוּר תָּמִים פָּעֳלוֹ

כִּי כָל-דְּרָכָיו מִשְׁפָּט

אֵל אֱמוּנָה וְאֵין עָוֶל

צַדִּיק וְיָשָׁר הוּא

שִׁחֵת לוֹ לֹא, בָּנָיו מוּמָם

דּוֹר עִקֵּשׁ, וּפְתַלְתֹּל

Hashem spoke to Moses, "Behold, your days are drawing near to die; summon Joshua, and both of you shall stand in the Tent of Meeting, and I shall instruct him." So Moses and Joshua went and stood in the Tent of Meeting. Hashem appeared in the Tent, in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood by the entrance of the Tent. He commanded Joshua son of Nun, and said, "Be strong and courageous, for you shall bring the Children of Israel to the Land that I have sworn to them, and I shall be with you."
Remember what Amalek did to you, on the way when you were leaving Egypt; that he happened upon you on the way, and he struck those of you who were hindmost, all the weaklings at your rear, when you were faint and exhausted, and he did not fear God. It shall be that when Hashem, your God, gives you rest from all your enemies all around, in the Land that Hashem, your God, gives you as an inheritance to possess it, you shall wipe out the memory of Amalek from under the heaven — you shall not forget!

Moses spoke the words of this song into the ears of the entire congregation of Israel, until their conclusion.

Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak;
and may the earth hear the words of my mouth.

May my teaching drop like the rain, may my utterance flow like the dew;

like storm winds upon vegetation and like raindrops upon blades of grass.

When I call out the Name of Hashem, ascribe greatness to our God.

The Rock! — perfect is His work, for all His paths are justice;

a God of faith without iniquity, righteous and fair is He.

Corruption is not His — the blemish is His children's,
a perverse and twisted generation.

This is what your fathers did, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the Land. They went up to the valley of Eshcol and saw the Land and they dissuaded the heart of the Children of Israel, not to come to the Land that Hashem has given them. The wrath of Hashem burned on that day, and He swore saying: 'If these men who came up from Egypt — from the age of twenty years and above — will see the ground that I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob... for they have not followed Me fully, except for Caleb son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, and Joshua son of Nun, for they followed Hashem fully.' The children of Gad and the children of Reuben said to Moses, saying, "Your servants shall do as my lord commands. Our small children, our wives, our livestock, and all our animals will be there in the cities of the Gilead. And your servants shall cross over — every armed person of the legion — before Hashem, to do battle, as my lord speaks." So Moses gave to them — to the children of Gad, and the children of Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph — the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorite, and the kingdom of Og king of the Bashan; the land with its cities in the boundaries, and the cities of the surrounding land. The children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, and Atroth-shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah, and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran — fortified cities and pens for the flock. The children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim, and Nebo and Baal-meon with altered names, and Sibmah; and they called [them] by [other] names [instead of] the names of the cities that they built. The children of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead and occupied it, and drove out the Amorite who were in it. Moses gave the Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh and he settled in it. Jair son of Manasseh went and occupied their villages, and called them Havvoth-jair. Nobah went and occupied Kenath and her suburbs, and called it Nobah, after his name.
