The Death Of Moses

And Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel. Then he said : 
"I am a hundred and twenty years old this day. I can no longer go out and come in. Also the Lord
has said to me, 'You Shall not go over the Jordan.' Joshua, he shall go over before you, as the Lord
has said."
And Moses called Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel: 
"Be strong and of good courage. For you must go with this people into the land which the lord has promised their fathers. And you shall cause them to inherit it. "
Then God said to Moses:
"Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers, and this people will rise up and will forsake me and breake the agreement which I have made with them. Then I will hide my face from them, when they have turned to other gods. Many evils and troubles shall plague them."

Moses Returns To Egypt

Moses went and returned to his father-in-law and said to him:
"Let me go, I beg you, and let me return to my kinsmen who are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive."
"Go in peace," said he to Moses.And God said to Moses in Median:
"Go return to Egypt, for all the men are dead who sought your life."
So Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt, taking the rod of God in his hand.And the Lord said to Moses: "When you return there, see that you do before pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your hand.But I will harden his heart so that he shall not let the people go."
And the Lord said to Aaron:
"Go into the wilderness to meet Moses."
Aaron went and met Moses at the mountain of God, and kissed him.And Moses told Aaron all that the Lord had said to him, and all the signs that he had told him to do.
Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel, and Aaron spoke all the words which the Lord had spoken to Moses, and did all the signs for the people to see.
  The people believed.And when they heard that he Lord had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their suffering, they bowed their heads and worshiped.

God Speak To Moses

The Moses returned to the Lord and said:"Lord, why have you treated these people so badly? Why have you sent me? For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has done nothing to save them."
  The God said Moses:
  "Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh. For with a strong hand he shall let the people go. With a strong hand he will drive them out of his land."
  "For I am the Lord. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob by the name of God Almighty. I made a promise to them, to give them the land of Canaan."
  "Say to the children of Israel, 'I am the Lord, and I will free you from the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will take you out of slavery. I will make you my people, and I will be to you a God. I will bring you to the land I promised to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. And I will give it to you and your descendants.'"
   Moses told the children of Israel all that the Lord had said. But they did not listen to Moses in their suffering and their misery. And God said to Moses:
   " You shall say all that I have to tell you. And Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, telling him to send the children of Israel out of his land. But I will harden Pharaoh's heart and perform many signs and miracles in the land of Egypt. Still Pharaoh will not listen to you, so I will lay my hand on Egypt and bring forth my armies and my people out of Egypt by my great judgments."
  "The Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord when I stretch forth my hand upon Egypt and bring the children of Israel out from among them."
