From the Dead Sea Scrolls
God called to Moses on the fortieth year after the children of Israel left the land of Egypt, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, saying, Gather together the entire nation and go up to the place and stand there, you and Eleazar son of Aaron. Explain to the family heads, to the Levites, and all the priests, and command the children of Israel the words of the Law that I have commanded you on Mount Sinai to command them in their hearing.
Explain thoroughly everything that I demand of them and call as witnesses against them heaven and earth, for what I command them I will not be to their liking, or to their descendants' liking, all the days that they live on the land. Indeed I declare to you that they will abandon Me and choose to follow the idols of the Gentiles and their abominations and their filthy deeds, and they will worship the false gods, which will become a trap and snare, and they will violate every sacred assembly and covenant and even the Sabbath and the festivals! The very ones I am commanding them today to observe.
They will suffer a great defeat within the very land that they are about to cross over the Jordan to possess. And so it will be, that all the curses will come upon them and catch them until they perish and until they are destroyed and they will know that a just judgment has been passed on them.
