11
When all Israel is come to appearbefore the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose , thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
12
Gather the peopletogether , men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear , and that they may learn , and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:
13
And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear , and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go overJordan to possess it.
