1 These428 be the words1697 which834 Moses4872 spoke1696 to all3605 Israel3478 on5921 this side5676 Jordan3383 in the wilderness,4057 in the plain6160 over4136 against4136 the Red5489 sea, between996 Paran,6290 and Tophel,8603 and Laban,3837 and Hazeroth,2698 and Dizahab.1774
2 (There are eleven259 6240 days'3117 journey from Horeb2722 by the way1870 of mount2022 Seir8165 to Kadeshbarnea.6947)
3 And it came1961 to pass in the fortieth705 year,8141 in the eleventh6249 6240 month,2320 on5921 the first259 day of the month,2320 that Moses4872 spoke1696 to the children1121 of Israel,3478 according to all3605 that the LORD3068 had given him in commandment6680 to them;
4 After310 he had slain5221 Sihon5511 the king4428 of the Amorites,567 which834 dwelled3427 in Heshbon,2809 and Og5747 the king4428 of Bashan,1316 which834 dwelled3427 at Astaroth6252 in Edrei:154
5 On5921 this side5676 Jordan,3383 in the land776 of Moab,4124 began2974 Moses4872 to declare874 this2063 law,8451 saying,559
6 The LORD3068 our God430 spoke1696 to us in Horeb,2722 saying,559 You have dwelled3427 long7227 enough in this2088 mount:2022
7 Turn6437 you, and take your journey,5265 and go935 to the mount2022 of the Amorites,567 and to all3605 the places near7934 thereunto, in the plain,6160 in the hills,2022 and in the vale,8219 and in the south,5045 and by the sea3220 side,2348 to the land776 of the Canaanites,3669 and to Lebanon,3844 to the great1419 river,5104 the river5104 Euphrates.6578
8 Behold,7200 I have set5414 the land776 before6440 you: go935 in and possess3423 the land776 which834 the LORD3068 swore7650 to your fathers,1 Abraham,85 Isaac,3327 and Jacob,3290 to give5414 to them and to their seed2233 after310 them.
9 And I spoke559 to you at that time,6256 saying,559 I am not able3201 to bear5375 you myself alone:905
10 The LORD3068 your God430 has multiplied7235 you, and, behold,2009 you are this day3117 as the stars3556 of heaven8064 for multitude.7230
11 (The LORD3068 God430 of your fathers1 make5674 you a thousand505 times6471 so many more3254 as you are, and bless1288 you, as he has promised1696 you!)
12 How349 can I myself alone905 bear5375 your cumbrance,2960 and your burden,4853 and your strife?7379
13 Take3051 you wise2450 men,582 and understanding,995 and known3045 among your tribes,7626 and I will make7760 them rulers7218 over you.
14 And you answered6030 me, and said,559 The thing1697 which834 you have spoken1696 is good2896 for us to do.6213
15 So I took3947 the chief7218 of your tribes,7626 wise2450 men,582 and known,3045 and made5414 them heads7218 over5921 you, captains8269 over thousands,505 and captains8269 over hundreds,3967 and captains8269 over fifties,2572 and captains8269 over tens,6235 and officers7860 among your tribes.7626
16 And I charged6680 your judges8199 at that time,6256 saying,559 Hear8085 the causes between996 your brothers,251 and judge8199 righteously6664 between996 every man376 and his brother,251 and the stranger1616 that is with him.
17 You shall not respect5234 persons6440 in judgment;4941 but you shall hear8085 the small6996 as well as the great;1419 you shall not be afraid1481 of the face6440 of man;376 for the judgment4941 is God's:430 and the cause1697 that is too hard7185 for you, bring7126 it to me, and I will hear8085 it.
18 And I commanded6680 you at that time6256 all3605 the things1697 which834 you should do.6213
19 And when we departed5265 from Horeb,2722 we went3212 through all3605 that great1419 and terrible3372 wilderness,4057 which834 you saw7200 by the way1870 of the mountain2022 of the Amorites,567 as the LORD3068 our God430 commanded6680 us; and we came935 to Kadeshbarnea.6947
20 And I said559 to you, You are come935 to the mountain2022 of the Amorites,567 which834 the LORD3068 our God430 does give5414 to us.
21 Behold,7200 the LORD3068 your God430 has set5414 the land776 before6440 you: go5927 up and possess3423 it, as the LORD3068 God430 of your fathers1 has said1696 to you; fear3372 not, neither408 be discouraged.2865
22 And you came7126 near7126 to me every3605 one of you, and said,559 We will send7971 men582 before6440 us, and they shall search2658 us out the land,776 and bring7725 us word1697 again7725 by what834 way1870 we must go5927 up, and into what853 cities5892 we shall come.935
23 And the saying1697 pleased3190 5869 me well: and I took3947 twelve8147 6240 men582 of you, one259 of a tribe:7626
24 And they turned6437 and went5927 up into the mountain,2022 and came935 to the valley5158 of Eshcol,812 and searched7270 it out.
25 And they took3947 of the fruit6529 of the land776 in their hands,3027 and brought3381 it down3381 to us, and brought7725 us word1697 again,7725 and said,559 It is a good2896 land776 which834 the LORD3068 our God430 does give5414 us.
26 Notwithstanding you would14 not go5927 up, but rebelled4784 against the commandment6310 of the LORD3068 your God:430
27 And you murmured7279 in your tents,168 and said,559 Because the LORD3068 hated8135 us, he has brought3318 us forth3318 out of the land776 of Egypt,4714 to deliver5414 us into the hand3027 of the Amorites,567 to destroy8045 us.
28 Where575 shall we go5927 up? our brothers251 have discouraged4549 our heart,3824 saying,559 The people5971 is greater1419 and taller7311 than we; the cities5892 are great1419 and walled1219 up to heaven;8064 and moreover1571 we have seen7200 the sons1121 of the Anakims6062 there.8033
29 Then I said559 to you, Dread6206 not, neither3808 be afraid3372 of them.
30 The LORD3068 your God430 which goes1980 before6440 you, he shall fight3898 for you, according to all3605 that he did6213 for you in Egypt4714 before your eyes;5869
31 And in the wilderness,4057 where834 you have seen7200 how that the LORD3068 your God430 bore5375 you, as a man376 does bear5375 his son,1121 in all3605 the way1870 that you went,1980 until5704 you came935 into5704 this2088 place.4725
32 Yet in this2088 thing1697 you did not believe539 the LORD3068 your God,430
33 Who went1980 in the way1870 before6440 you, to search8446 you out a place4725 to pitch2583 your tents in, in fire784 by night,3915 to show7200 you by what834 way1870 you should go,3212 and in a cloud6051 by day.3119
34 And the LORD3068 heard8085 the voice6963 of your words,1697 and was wroth,7107 and swore,7650 saying,559
35 Surely518 there shall not one376 of these428 men582 of this2088 evil7451 generation1755 see7200 that good2896 land,776 which834 I swore7650 to give5414 to your fathers.1
36 Save2108 Caleb3612 the son1121 of Jephunneh;3312 he shall see7200 it, and to him will I give5414 the land776 that he has trodden1869 on, and to his children,1121 because3282 834 he has wholly4390 followed310 the LORD.3068
37 Also1571 the LORD3068 was angry599 with me for your sakes,1558 saying,559 You also shall not go935 in thither.8033
38 But Joshua3091 the son1121 of Nun,5126 which stands5975 before6440 you, he shall go935 in thither:8033 encourage2388 him: for he shall cause Israel3478 to inherit5157 it.
39 Moreover your little2945 ones, which834 you said559 should be a prey,957 and your children,1121 which834 in that day3117 had no3808 knowledge3045 between good2896 and evil,7451 they shall go935 in thither,8033 and to them will I give5414 it, and they shall possess3423 it.
40 But as for you, turn6437 you, and take your journey5265 into the wilderness4057 by the way1870 of the Red5488 sea.3220
41 Then you answered6030 and said559 to me, We have sinned2398 against the LORD,3068 we will go5927 up and fight,3898 according to all3605 that the LORD3068 our God430 commanded6680 us. And when you had girded2296 on5921 every376 man376 his weapons3627 of war,4421 you were ready1951 to go5927 up into the hill.2022
42 And the LORD3068 said559 to me, Say559 to them. Go5927 not up, neither3808 fight;3898 for I am not among7130 you; lest3808 you be smitten5062 before6440 your enemies.341
43 So I spoke1696 to you; and you would not hear,8085 but rebelled4784 against the commandment6310 of the LORD,3068 and went5927 presumptuously2102 up into the hill.2022
44 And the Amorites,567 which dwelled3427 in that mountain,2022 came3318 out against7125 you, and chased7291 you, as bees1682 do,6213 and destroyed3807 you in Seir,8165 even to Hormah.2767
45 And you returned7725 and wept1058 before6440 the LORD;3068 but the LORD3068 would not listen8085 to your voice,6963 nor3808 give ear238 to you.
46 So you stayed3427 in Kadesh6946 many7227 days,3117 according to the days3117 that you stayed3427 there.
1 Then we turned,6437 and took5265 our journey5265 into the wilderness4057 by the way1870 of the Red5488 sea,3220 as the LORD3068 spoke1696 to me: and we compassed5437 mount2022 Seir8165 many7227 days.3117
2 And the LORD3068 spoke559 to me, saying,559
3 You have compassed5437 this2088 mountain2022 long7227 enough: turn6437 you northward.6828
4 And command6680 you the people,5971 saying,559 You are to pass5674 through the coast1366 of your brothers251 the children1121 of Esau,6215 which dwell3427 in Seir;8165 and they shall be afraid3372 of you: take you good3966 heed8104 to yourselves therefore:
5 Meddle1624 not with them; for I will not give5414 you of their land,776 no, not so much5704 as a foot7272 breadth;4096 because3588 I have given5414 mount2022 Seir8165 to Esau6215 for a possession.3425
6 You shall buy7666 meat400 of them for money,3701 that you may eat;398 and you shall also1571 buy3739 water4325 of them for money,3701 that you may drink.8354
7 For the LORD3068 your God430 has blessed1288 you in all3605 the works4639 of your hand:3027 he knows3045 your walking3212 through this2088 great1419 wilderness:4057 these2088 forty705 years8141 the LORD3068 your God430 has been with you; you have lacked2637 nothing.3808
8 And when we passed5674 by from our brothers251 the children1121 of Esau,6215 which dwelled3427 in Seir,8165 through the way1870 of the plain6160 from Elath,359 and from Eziongaber,6100 we turned6437 and passed5674 by the way1870 of the wilderness4057 of Moab.4124
9 And the LORD3068 said559 to me, Distress6696 not the Moabites,4124 neither408 contend1624 with them in battle:4421 for I will not give5414 you of their land776 for a possession;3425 because3588 I have given5414 Ar6144 to the children1121 of Lot3876 for a possession.3425
10 The Emims368 dwelled3427 therein in times past, a people5971 great,1419 and many,7227 and tall,7311 as the Anakims;6062
11 Which1992 also637 were accounted2803 giants,7497 as the Anakims;6062 but the Moabites4125 called7121 them Emims.368
12 The Horims2752 also dwelled3427 in Seir8165 beforetime;6440 but the children1121 of Esau6215 succeeded3423 them, when they had destroyed8045 them from before6440 them, and dwelled3427 in their stead;8478 as Israel3478 did6213 to the land776 of his possession,3425 which834 the LORD3068 gave5414 to them.
13 Now6258 rise6965 up, said I, and get5674 you over5674 the brook5158 Zered.2218 And we went5674 over5674 the brook5158 Zered.2218
14 And the space3117 in which834 we came1980 from Kadeshbarnea,6947 until5704 we were come5674 over5674 the brook5158 Zered,2218 was thirty7970 and eight8083 years;8141 until5704 all3605 the generation1755 of the men582 of war4421 were wasted8552 out from among7130 the host,4264 as the LORD3068 swore7650 to them.
15 For indeed1571 the hand3027 of the LORD3068 was against them, to destroy2000 them from among7130 the host,4264 until5704 they were consumed.8552
16 So it came1961 to pass, when834 all3605 the men582 of war4421 were consumed8552 and dead4191 from among7130 the people,5971
17 That the LORD3068 spoke1696 to me, saying,559
18 You are to pass5674 over5674 through Ar,6144 the coast1366 of Moab,4124 this day:3117
19 And when you come7126 near7126 over4136 against4136 the children1121 of Ammon,5983 distress6696 them not, nor408 meddle1624 with them: for I will not give5414 you of the land776 of the children1121 of Ammon5983 any possession;3425 because3588 I have given5414 it to the children1121 of Lot3876 for a possession.3425
20 (That also637 was accounted2803 a land776 of giants:7497 giants7497 dwelled3427 therein in old6440 time; and the Ammonites5984 call7121 them Zamzummims;2157
21 A people5971 great,1419 and many,7227 and tall,7311 as the Anakims;6062 but the LORD3068 destroyed8045 them before6440 them; and they succeeded3423 them, and dwelled3427 in their stead:8478
22 As he did6213 to the children1121 of Esau,6215 which dwelled3427 in Seir,8165 when834 he destroyed8045 the Horims2752 from before6440 them; and they succeeded3423 them, and dwelled3427 in their stead8478 even to this2088 day:3117
23 And the Avims5757 which dwelled3427 in Hazerim,2699 even to Azzah,5804 the Caphtorims,3732 which came3318 forth3318 out of Caphtor,3731 destroyed8045 them, and dwelled3427 in their stead.8478)
24 Rise6965 you up, take your journey,5265 and pass5674 over5674 the river5158 Arnon:769 behold,7200 I have given5414 into your hand3027 Sihon5511 the Amorite,567 king4428 of Heshbon,2809 and his land:776 begin2490 to possess3423 it, and contend1624 with him in battle.4421
25 This2088 day3117 will I begin2490 to put5414 the dread6343 of you and the fear3374 of you on the nations5971 that are under8478 the whole3605 heaven,8064 who834 shall hear8085 report8088 of you, and shall tremble,7264 and be in anguish2342 because6440 of you.
26 And I sent7971 messengers4397 out of the wilderness4057 of Kedemoth6932 to Sihon5511 king4428 of Heshbon2809 with words1697 of peace,7965 saying,559
27 Let me pass5674 through your land:776 I will go3212 along by the high1870 way,1870 I will neither3808 turn5493 to the right3225 hand3225 nor to the left.8040
28 You shall sell7666 me meat400 for money,3701 that I may eat;398 and give5414 me water4325 for money,3701 that I may drink:8354 only7535 I will pass5674 through on5921 my feet;7272
29 (As the children1121 of Esau6215 which dwell3427 in Seir,8165 and the Moabites4125 which dwell3427 in Ar,6144 did6213 to me;) until5704 I shall pass5674 over5674 Jordan3383 into413 the land776 which834 the LORD3068 our God430 gives5414 us.
30 But Sihon5511 king4428 of Heshbon2809 would14 not let us pass5674 by him: for the LORD3068 your God430 hardened7185 his spirit,7307 and made his heart3824 obstinate,553 that he might deliver5414 him into your hand,3027 as appears this2088 day.3117
31 And the LORD3068 said559 to me, Behold,7200 I have begun2490 to give5414 Sihon5511 and his land776 before6440 you: begin2490 to possess,3423 that you may inherit3423 his land.776
32 Then Sihon5511 came3318 out against7125 us, he and all3605 his people,5971 to fight4421 at Jahaz.3096
33 And the LORD3068 our God430 delivered5414 him before6440 us; and we smote5221 him, and his sons,1121 and all3605 his people.5971
34 And we took3920 all3605 his cities5892 at that time,6256 and utterly destroyed2763 the men,4962 and the women,802 and the little2945 ones, of every3605 city,5892 we left7604 none3808 to remain:8300
35 Only7535 the cattle929 we took for a prey962 to ourselves, and the spoil7998 of the cities5892 which834 we took.3920
36 From Aroer,6177 which834 is by the brink8193 of the river5158 of Arnon,769 and from the city5892 that is by the river,5158 even to Gilead,1568 there was not one city7151 too strong7682 for us: the LORD3068 our God430 delivered5414 all3605 to us:
37 Only7535 to the land776 of the children1121 of Ammon5983 you came7126 not, nor to any3605 place3027 of the river5158 Jabbok,2999 nor to the cities5892 in the mountains,2022 nor to whatever3605 the LORD3068 our God430 forbade6680 us.
1 Then we turned,6437 and went5927 up the way1870 to Bashan:1316 and Og5747 the king4428 of Bashan1316 came3318 out against7125 us, he and all3605 his people,5971 to battle4421 at Edrei.154
2 And the LORD3068 said559 to me, Fear3372 him not: for I will deliver5414 him, and all3605 his people,5971 and his land,776 into your hand;3027 and you shall do6213 to him as you did6213 to Sihon5511 king4428 of the Amorites,567 which834 dwelled3427 at Heshbon.2809
3 So the LORD3068 our God430 delivered5414 into our hands3027 Og5747 also,1571 the king4428 of Bashan,1316 and all3605 his people:5971 and we smote5221 him until5704 none1115 was left7604 to him remaining.8300
4 And we took3920 all3605 his cities5892 at that time,6256 there was not a city7151 which834 we took3947 not from them, three score8346 cities,5892 all3605 the region2256 of Argob,709 the kingdom4467 of Og5747 in Bashan.1316
5 All3605 these428 cities5892 were fenced1219 with high1364 walls,2346 gates,1817 and bars;1280 beside905 unwalled6519 towns5892 a great3966 many.7227
6 And we utterly destroyed2763 them, as we did6213 to Sihon5511 king4428 of Heshbon,2809 utterly destroying2763 the men,4962 women,802 and children,2945 of every3605 city.5892
7 But all3605 the cattle,929 and the spoil7998 of the cities,5892 we took for a prey962 to ourselves.
8 And we took3947 at that time6256 out of the hand3027 of the two8147 kings4428 of the Amorites567 the land776 that was on5921 this side5676 Jordan,3383 from the river5158 of Arnon769 to mount2022 Hermon;2768
9 (Which Hermon2768 the Sidonians6722 call7121 Sirion;8303 and the Amorites567 call7121 it Shenir;8149)
10 All3605 the cities5892 of the plain,4334 and all3605 Gilead,1568 and all3605 Bashan,1316 to Salchah5548 and Edrei,154 cities5892 of the kingdom4467 of Og5747 in Bashan.1316
11 For only7535 Og5747 king4428 of Bashan1316 remained7604 of the remnant3499 of giants;7497 behold 2009his bedstead6210 was a bedstead6210 of iron;1270 is it not in Rabbath7237 of the children1121 of Ammon?5983 nine8672 cubits520 was the length753 thereof, and four702 cubits520 the breadth7341 of it, after the cubit520 of a man.376
12 And this2063 land,776 which we possessed3423 at that time,6256 from Aroer,6177 which834 is by the river5158 Arnon,769 and half2677 mount2022 Gilead,1568 and the cities5892 thereof, gave5414 I to the Reubenites7206 and to the Gadites.1425
13 And the rest3499 of Gilead,1568 and all3605 Bashan,1316 being the kingdom4467 of Og,5747 gave5414 I to the half2677 tribe7626 of Manasseh;4519 all3605 the region2256 of Argob,709 with all3605 Bashan,1316 which1931 was called7121 the land776 of giants.7497
14 Jair2971 the son1121 of Manasseh4519 took3947 all3605 the country2256 of Argob709 to the coasts1366 of Geshuri1651 and Maachathi;4602 and called7121 them after5921 his own name,8034 Bashanhavothjair,1316 2334 to this2088 day.3117
15 And I gave5414 Gilead1568 to Machir.4353
16 And to the Reubenites7206 and to the Gadites1425 I gave5414 from Gilead1568 even to the river5158 Arnon769 half8432 the valley,5158 and the border1366 even to the river5158 Jabbok,2999 which is the border1366 of the children1121 of Ammon;5983
17 The plain6160 also, and Jordan,3383 and the coast1366 thereof, from Chinnereth3672 even to the sea3220 of the plain,6160 even the salt4417 sea,3220 under8478 Ashdothpisgah798 6449 eastward.4217
18 And I commanded6680 you at that time,6256 saying,559 The LORD3068 your God430 has given5414 you this2063 land776 to possess3423 it: you shall pass5674 over5674 armed2502 before6440 your brothers251 the children1121 of Israel,3478 all3605 that are meet1121 for the war.2428
19 But your wives,802 and your little2945 ones, and your cattle,4735 (for I know3045 that you have much7227 cattle,4735) shall abide3427 in your cities5892 which834 I have given5414 you;
20 Until5704 the LORD3068 have given rest5117 to your brothers,251 as well as to you, and until they also1571 possess3423 the land776 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 has given5414 them beyond5676 Jordan:3383 and then shall you return7725 every man376 to his possession,3425 which834 I have given5414 you.
21 And I commanded6680 Joshua3091 at that time,6256 saying,559 Your eyes5869 have seen7200 all3605 that the LORD3068 your God430 has done6213 to these428 two8147 kings:4428 so3651 shall the LORD3068 do6213 to all3605 the kingdoms4467 where834 8033 you pass.5674
22 You shall not fear3372 them: for the LORD3068 your God430 he shall fight3898 for you.
23 And I sought2603 the LORD3068 at that time,6256 saying,559
24 O Lord136 GOD,3069 you have begun2490 to show7200 your servant5650 your greatness,1433 and your mighty2389 hand:3027 for what4310 God410 is there in heaven8064 or in earth,776 that can do6213 according to your works,4639 and according to your might?1369
25 I pray4994 you, let me go5674 over,5674 and see7200 the good2896 land776 that is beyond5676 Jordan,3383 that goodly2896 mountain,2022 and Lebanon.3844
26 But the LORD3068 was wroth5674 with me for your sakes,4616 and would not hear8085 me: and the LORD3068 said559 to me, Let it suffice7227 you; speak1696 no408 more5750 to me of this2088 matter.1697
27 Get5927 you up into the top7218 of Pisgah,6449 and lift5375 up your eyes5869 westward,3220 and northward,6828 and southward,8486 and eastward,4217 and behold7200 it with your eyes:5869 for you shall not go5674 over5674 this2088 Jordan.3383
28 But charge6680 Joshua,3091 and encourage2388 him, and strengthen553 him: for he shall go5674 over5674 before6440 this2088 people,5971 and he shall cause them to inherit5157 the land776 which834 you shall see.7200
29 So we stayed3427 in the valley1516 over4136 against4136 Bethpeor.1047
1 Now6258 therefore listen,8085 O Israel,3478 to the statutes2706 and to the judgments,4941 which834 I teach3925 you, for to do6213 them, that you may live,2421 and go935 in and possess3423 the land776 which the LORD3068 God430 of your fathers1 gives5414 you.
2 You shall not add3254 to the word1697 which834 I command6680 you, neither3808 shall you diminish1639 ought from it, that you may keep8104 the commandments4687 of the LORD3068 your God430 which834 I command6680 you.
3 Your eyes5869 have seen7200 what853 834 the LORD3068 did6213 because of Baalpeor:1187 for all3605 the men376 that followed1980 310 Baalpeor,1187 the LORD3068 your God430 has destroyed8045 them from among7130 you.
4 But you that did join1695 to the LORD3068 your God430 are alive2416 every3605 one of you this day.3117
5 Behold,7200 I have taught3925 you statutes2706 and judgments,4941 even as the LORD3068 my God430 commanded6680 me, that you should do6213 so3651 in the land776 where834 8033 you go935 to possess3423 it.
6 Keep8104 therefore and do6213 them; for this1931 is your wisdom2451 and your understanding998 in the sight5869 of the nations,5971 which834 shall hear8085 all3605 these428 statutes,2706 and say,559 Surely this2088 great1419 nation1471 is a wise2450 and understanding995 people.5971
7 For what4310 nation1471 is there so great,1419 who834 has God430 so near7126 to them, as the LORD3068 our God430 is in all3605 things that we call7121 on him for?
8 And what4310 nation1471 is there so great,1419 that has statutes2706 and judgments4941 so righteous6662 as all3605 this2063 law,8451 which834 I set5414 before6440 you this day?3117
9 Only7535 take heed8104 to yourself, and keep8104 your soul5315 diligently,3966 lest6435 you forget7911 the things1697 which834 your eyes5869 have seen,7200 and lest6435 they depart5493 from your heart3824 all3605 the days3117 of your life:2416 but teach3045 them your sons,1121 and your sons'1121 sons;1121
10 Specially the day3117 that you stood5975 before6440 the LORD3068 your God430 in Horeb,2722 when the LORD3068 said559 to me, Gather6950 me the people5971 together, and I will make them hear8085 my words,1697 that they may learn3925 to fear3372 me all3605 the days3117 that they shall live2416 on the earth,127 and that they may teach3925 their children.1121
11 And you came7126 near7126 and stood5975 under8478 the mountain;2022 and the mountain2022 burned1197 with fire784 to the middle3820 of heaven,8064 with darkness,2822 clouds,6051 and thick darkness.6205
12 And the LORD3068 spoke1696 to you out of the middle8432 of the fire:784 you heard8085 the voice6963 of the words,1697 but saw7200 no369 similitude;8544 only2108 you heard8085 a voice.6963
13 And he declared5046 to you his covenant,1285 which834 he commanded6680 you to perform,6213 even ten6235 commandments;1697 and he wrote3789 them on two8147 tables3871 of stone.68
14 And the LORD3068 commanded6680 me at that time6256 to teach3925 you statutes2706 and judgments,4941 that you might do6213 them in the land776 where834 8033 you go5674 over5674 to possess3423 it.
15 Take you therefore good3966 heed8104 to yourselves;5315 for you saw7200 no3808 manner of similitude8544 on5921 the day3117 that the LORD3068 spoke1696 to you in Horeb2722 out of the middle8432 of the fire:784
16 Lest6435 you corrupt7843 yourselves, and make6213 you a graven6459 image, the similitude8544 of any3605 figure,5566 the likeness8403 of male2145 or176 female,5347
17 The likeness8403 of any3605 beast929 that is on5921 the earth,776 the likeness8403 of any3605 winged3671 fowl6833 that flies5774 in the air,8064
18 The likeness8403 of any3605 thing that creeps7430 on5921 the ground,127 the likeness8403 of any3605 fish1710 that is in the waters4325 beneath8478 the earth:776
19 And lest6435 you lift5375 up your eyes5869 to heaven,8064 and when you see7200 the sun,8121 and the moon,3394 and the stars,3556 even all3605 the host6635 of heaven,8064 should be driven5080 to worship7812 them, and serve5647 them, which834 the LORD3068 your God430 has divided2505 to all3605 nations5971 under8478 the whole3605 heaven.8064
20 But the LORD3068 has taken3947 you, and brought3318 you forth3318 out of the iron1270 furnace,3564 even out of Egypt,4714 to be to him a people5971 of inheritance,5159 as you are this2088 day.3117
21 Furthermore the LORD3068 was angry599 with me for your sakes,1697 and swore7650 that I should not go5674 over5674 Jordan,3383 and that I should not go935 in to that good2896 land,776 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you for an inheritance:5159
22 But I must die4191 in this2088 land,776 I must not go5674 over5674 Jordan:3383 but you shall go5674 over,5674 and possess3423 that good2896 land.776
23 Take heed8104 to yourselves, lest6435 you forget7911 the covenant1285 of the LORD3068 your God,430 which834 he made with you, and make6213 you a graven6459 image, or the likeness8544 of any3605 thing, which834 the LORD3068 your God430 has forbidden6680 you.
24 For the LORD3068 your God430 is a consuming398 fire,784 even a jealous7067 God.410
25 When3588 you shall beget3205 children,1121 and children's children,1121 and you shall have remained3462 long in the land,776 and shall corrupt7843 yourselves, and make6213 a graven6459 image, or the likeness8544 of any3605 thing, and shall do6213 evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068 your God,430 to provoke him to anger:3707
26 I call5749 heaven8064 and earth776 to witness5749 against you this day,3117 that you shall soon4116 utterly perish6 from off5921 the land776 whereunto834 you go5674 over5674 Jordan3383 to possess3423 it; you shall not prolong748 your days3117 on it, but shall utterly be destroyed.8045
27 And the LORD3068 shall scatter6327 you among the nations,5971 and you shall be left7604 few4962 in number4557 among the heathen,1471 where834 8033 the LORD3068 shall lead5090 you.
28 And there8033 you shall serve5647 gods,430 the work4639 of men's120 hands,3027 wood6086 and stone,68 which834 neither3808 see,7200 nor3808 hear,8085 nor3808 eat,398 nor3808 smell.7306
29 But if from there8033 you shall seek1245 the LORD3068 your God,430 you shall find4672 him, if3588 you seek1875 him with all3605 your heart3824 and with all3605 your soul.5315
30 When you are in tribulation,6862 and all3605 these428 things1697 are come4672 on you, even in the latter319 days,3117 if you turn7725 to the LORD3068 your God,430 and shall be obedient8085 to his voice;6963
31 (For the LORD3068 your God430 is a merciful7349 God;410) he will not forsake7503 you, neither3808 destroy7843 you, nor3808 forget7911 the covenant1285 of your fathers1 which834 he swore7650 to them.
32 For ask7592 now4994 of the days3117 that are past,7223 which834 were before6440 you, since4480 the day3117 that God430 created1254 man120 on the earth,776 and ask from the one side7097 of heaven8064 to the other, whether there has been1961 any such thing as this2088 great1419 thing1697 is, or176 has been heard8085 like3644 it?
33 Did ever people5971 hear8085 the voice6963 of God430 speaking1696 out of the middle8432 of the fire,784 as you have heard,8085 and live?2421
34 Or176 has God430 assayed5254 to go935 and take3947 him a nation1471 from the middle7130 of another nation,1471 by temptations,4531 by signs,226 and by wonders,4159 and by war,4421 and by a mighty2389 hand,3027 and by a stretched5186 out arm,2220 and by great1419 terrors,4172 according to all3605 that the LORD3068 your God430 did6213 for you in Egypt4714 before your eyes?5869
35 To you it was showed,7200 that you might know3045 that the LORD3068 he is God;430 there is none369 else5750 beside905 him.
36 Out of heaven8064 he made you to hear8085 his voice,6963 that he might instruct3256 you: and on earth776 he showed7200 you his great1419 fire;784 and you heard8085 his words1697 out of the middle8432 of the fire.784
37 And because8478 3588 he loved157 your fathers,1 therefore he chose977 their seed2233 after310 them, and brought3318 you out in his sight6440 with his mighty1419 power3581 out of Egypt;4714
38 To drive3423 out nations1471 from before6440 you greater1419 and mightier6099 than you are, to bring935 you in, to give5414 you their land776 for an inheritance,5159 as it is this2088 day.3117
39 Know3045 therefore this day,3117 and consider7725 it in your heart,3824 that the LORD3068 he is God430 in heaven8064 above,4605 and on the earth776 beneath:8478 there is none369 else.5750
40 You shall keep8104 therefore his statutes,2706 and his commandments,4687 which834 I command6680 you this day,3117 that it may go well3190 with you, and with your children1121 after310 you, and that you may prolong748 your days3117 on the earth,127 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you, for ever.3605 3117
41 Then227 Moses4872 severed914 three7969 cities5892 on5921 this side5676 Jordan3383 toward the sun8121 rise;4217
42 That the slayer7523 might flee5127 thither,8033 which834 should kill7523 his neighbor7453 unawares,1097 1847 and hated8130 him not in times8543 past;8032 and that fleeing5127 to one259 of these411 cities5892 he might live:2425
43 Namely, Bezer1221 in the wilderness,4057 in the plain4334 country,776 of the Reubenites;7206 and Ramoth7216 in Gilead,1568 of the Gadites;1425 and Golan1474 in Bashan,1316 of the Manassites.4520
44 And this2063 is the law8451 which834 Moses4872 set7760 before6440 the children1121 of Israel:3478
45 These428 are the testimonies,5713 and the statutes,2706 and the judgments,4941 which834 Moses4872 spoke1696 to the children1121 of Israel,3478 after they came3318 forth3318 out of Egypt.4714
46 On5921 this side5676 Jordan,3383 in the valley1516 over4136 against4136 Bethpeor,1047 in the land776 of Sihon5511 king4428 of the Amorites,567 who834 dwelled3427 at Heshbon,2809 whom834 Moses4872 and the children1121 of Israel3478 smote,5221 after they were come3318 forth3318 out of Egypt:4714
47 And they possessed3423 his land,776 and the land776 of Og5747 king4428 of Bashan,1316 two8147 kings4428 of the Amorites,567 which834 were on5921 this side5676 Jordan3383 toward the sun8121 rise;4217
48 From Aroer,6177 which834 is by the bank8193 of the river5158 Arnon,769 even to mount2022 Sion,7865 which1931 is Hermon,2768
49 And all3605 the plain6160 on5921 this side5676 Jordan3383 eastward,4217 even to the sea3220 of the plain,6160 under8478 the springs794 of Pisgah.6449
1 And Moses4872 called7121 all3605 Israel,3478 and said559 to them, Hear,8085 O Israel,3478 the statutes2706 and judgments4941 which834 I speak1696 in your ears241 this day,3117 that you may learn3925 them, and keep,8104 and do6213 them.
2 The LORD3068 our God430 made3772 a covenant1285 with us in Horeb.2722
3 The LORD3068 made3772 not this2063 covenant1285 with our fathers,1 but with us, even us, who428 are all3605 of us here6311 alive2416 this day.3117
4 The LORD3068 talked1696 with you face6440 to face6440 in the mount2022 out of the middle8432 of the fire,784
5 (I stood5975 between996 the LORD3068 and you at that time,6256 to show5046 you the word1697 of the LORD:3068 for you were afraid3372 by reason6440 of the fire,784 and went5927 not up into the mount;2022) saying,559
6 I am the LORD3068 your God,430 which834 brought3318 you out of the land776 of Egypt,4714 from the house1004 of bondage.5650
7 You shall have1961 none other312 gods430 before5921 6440 me.
8 You shall not make6213 you any3605 graven6459 image, or any3605 likeness8544 of any thing that is in heaven8064 above,4605 or that is in the earth776 beneath,8478 or that is in the waters4325 beneath8478 the earth:776
9 You shall not bow7812 down7812 yourself to them, nor3808 serve5647 them: for I the LORD3068 your God430 am a jealous7067 God,410 visiting6485 the iniquity5771 of the fathers1 on the children1121 to the third8029 and fourth7256 generation of them that hate8130 me,
10 And showing6213 mercy2617 to thousands505 of them that love157 me and keep8104 my commandments.4687
11 You shall not take5375 the name8034 of the LORD3068 your God430 in vain:7723 for the LORD3068 will not hold him guiltless5352 that takes5375 his name8034 in vain.7723
12 Keep8104 the sabbath7676 day3117 to sanctify6942 it, as the LORD3068 your God430 has commanded6680 you.
13 Six8337 days3117 you shall labor,5647 and do6213 all3605 your work:4399
14 But the seventh7637 day3117 is the sabbath7676 of the LORD3068 your God:430 in it you shall not do6213 any3605 work,4399 you, nor your son,1121 nor your daughter,1323 nor your manservant,5650 nor your maidservant,519 nor your ox,7794 nor your ass,2543 nor any3605 of your cattle,929 nor your stranger1616 that is within your gates;8179 that your manservant5650 and your maidservant519 may rest5117 as well as you.
15 And remember2142 that you were1961 a servant5650 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 and that the LORD3068 your God430 brought3318 you out there8033 through a mighty2389 hand3027 and by a stretched5186 out arm:2220 therefore5921 3651 the LORD3068 your God430 commanded6680 you to keep6213 the sabbath7676 day.3117
16 Honor3513 your father1 and your mother,517 as the LORD3068 your God430 has commanded6680 you; that your days3117 may be prolonged,748 and that it may go well3190 with you, in the land127 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you.
17 You shall not kill.7523
18 Neither3808 shall you commit5003 adultery.5003
19 Neither3808 shall you steal.1589
20 Neither3808 shall you bear6030 false7723 witness5707 against your neighbor.7453
21 Neither3808 shall you desire2530 your neighbor's7453 wife,802 neither3808 shall you covet183 your neighbor's7453 house,1004 his field,7704 or his manservant,5650 or his maidservant,519 his ox,7794 or his ass,2543 or any3605 thing that is your neighbor's.7453
22 These428 words1697 the LORD3068 spoke1696 to all3605 your assembly6951 in the mount2022 out of the middle8432 of the fire,784 of the cloud,6051 and of the thick darkness,6205 with a great1419 voice:6963 and he added3254 no3808 more.3254 And he wrote3789 them in two8147 tables3871 of stone,68 and delivered5414 them to me.
23 And it came1961 to pass, when you heard8085 the voice6963 out of the middle8432 of the darkness,2822 (for the mountain2022 did burn1197 with fire,784) that you came7126 near7126 to me, even all3605 the heads7218 of your tribes,7626 and your elders;2205
24 And you said,559 Behold,2005 the LORD3068 our God430 has showed7200 us his glory3519 and his greatness,1433 and we have heard8085 his voice6963 out of the middle8432 of the fire:784 we have seen7200 this2088 day3117 that God430 does talk1696 with man,120 and he lives.2425
25 Now6258 therefore why4100 should we die?4191 for this2063 great1419 fire784 will consume398 us: if518 we hear8085 the voice6963 of the LORD3068 our God430 any more,3254 then we shall die.4191
26 For who4310 is there of all3605 flesh,1320 that has heard8085 the voice6963 of the living2416 God430 speaking1696 out of the middle8432 of the fire,784 as we have, and lived?2421
27 Go7126 you near,7126 and hear8085 all3605 that the LORD3068 our God430 shall say:559 and speak1696 you to us all3605 that the LORD3068 our God430 shall speak1696 to you; and we will hear8085 it, and do6213 it.
28 And the LORD3068 heard8085 the voice6963 of your words,1697 when you spoke1696 to me; and the LORD3068 said559 to me, I have heard8085 the voice6963 of the words1697 of this2088 people,5971 which834 they have spoken1696 to you: they have well3190 said all3605 that they have spoken.1696
29 O that there were such2088 an heart3824 in them, that they would fear3372 me, and keep8104 all3605 my commandments4687 always,3605 3117 that it might be well3190 with them, and with their children1121 for ever!5769
30 Go3212 say559 to them, Get7725 you into your tents168 again.7725
31 But as for you, stand5975 you here6311 by me, and I will speak1696 to you all3605 the commandments,4687 and the statutes,2706 and the judgments,4941 which834 you shall teach3925 them, that they may do6213 them in the land776 which834 I give5414 them to possess3423 it.
32 You shall observe8104 to do6213 therefore as the LORD3068 your God430 has commanded6680 you: you shall not turn5493 aside to the right3225 hand3225 or to the left.8040
33 You shall walk3212 in all3605 the ways1870 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 has commanded6680 you, that you may live,2421 and that it may be well2895 with you, and that you may prolong748 your days3117 in the land776 which834 you shall possess.3423
1 Now these2063 are the commandments,4687 the statutes,2706 and the judgments,4941 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 commanded6680 to teach3925 you, that you might do6213 them in the land776 where834 8033 you go5674 to possess3423 it:
2 That you might fear3372 the LORD3068 your God,430 to keep8104 all3605 his statutes2708 and his commandments,4687 which834 I command6680 you, you, and your son,1121 and your son's1121 son,1121 all3605 the days3117 of your life;2416 and that your days3117 may be prolonged.748
3 Hear8085 therefore, O Israel,3478 and observe8104 to do6213 it; that it may be well3190 with you, and that you may increase7235 mightily,3966 as the LORD3068 God430 of your fathers1 has promised1696 you, in the land776 that flows2100 with milk2461 and honey.1706
4 Hear,8085 O Israel:3478 The LORD3068 our God430 is one259 LORD:3068
5 And you shall love157 the LORD3068 your God430 with all3605 your heart,3824 and with all3605 your soul,5315 and with all3605 your might.3966
6 And these428 words,1697 which834 I command6680 you this day,3117 shall be in your heart:3824
7 And you shall teach8150 them diligently8150 to your children,1121 and shall talk1696 of them when you sit3427 in your house,1004 and when you walk3212 by the way,1870 and when you lie7901 down,7901 and when you rise6965 up.
8 And you shall bind7194 them for a sign226 on your hand,3027 and they shall be as frontlets2903 between996 your eyes.5869
9 And you shall write3789 them on the posts4201 of your house,1004 and on5921 your gates.8179
10 And it shall be, when3588 the LORD3068 your God430 shall have brought935 you into413 the land776 which834 he swore7650 to your fathers,1 to Abraham,85 to Isaac,3327 and to Jacob,3290 to give5414 you great1419 and goodly2896 cities,5892 which834 you built1129 not,
11 And houses1004 full4392 of all3605 good2898 things, which834 you filled4390 not, and wells953 dig,2672 which834 you digged2672 not, vineyards3754 and olive2132 trees, which834 you planted5193 not; when you shall have eaten398 and be full;7646
12 Then beware8104 lest6435 you forget7911 the LORD,3068 which834 brought3318 you forth3318 out of the land776 of Egypt,4714 from the house1004 of bondage.5650
13 You shall fear3372 the LORD3068 your God,430 and serve5647 him, and shall swear7650 by his name.8034
14 You shall not go3212 after310 other312 gods,430 of the gods430 of the people5971 which834 are round5439 about you;
15 (For the LORD3068 your God430 is a jealous7067 God410 among7130 you) lest6435 the anger639 of the LORD3068 your God430 be kindled2734 against you, and destroy8045 you from off5921 the face6440 of the earth.127
16 You shall not tempt5254 the LORD3068 your God,430 as you tempted5254 him in Massah.4532
17 You shall diligently keep8104 the commandments4687 of the LORD3068 your God,430 and his testimonies,5713 and his statutes,2706 which834 he has commanded6680 you.
18 And you shall do6213 that which834 is right3477 and good2896 in the sight5869 of the LORD:3068 that it may be well3190 with you, and that you may go935 in and possess3423 the good2896 land776 which834 the LORD3068 swore7650 to your fathers.1
19 To cast1920 out all3605 your enemies341 from before6440 you, as the LORD3068 has spoken.1696
20 And when3588 your son1121 asks7592 you in time4279 to come,4279 saying,559 What4100 mean the testimonies,5713 and the statutes,2706 and the judgments,4941 which834 the LORD3068 our God430 has commanded6680 you?
21 Then you shall say559 to your son,1121 We were Pharaoh's6547 slaves5650 in Egypt;4714 and the LORD3068 brought3318 us out of Egypt4714 with a mighty2389 hand:3027
22 And the LORD3068 showed5414 signs226 and wonders,4159 great1419 and sore,7451 on Egypt,4714 on Pharaoh,6547 and on all3605 his household,1004 before our eyes:5869
23 And he brought3318 us out from there,8033 that he might bring935 us in, to give5414 us the land776 which834 he swore7650 to our fathers.1
24 And the LORD3068 commanded6680 us to do6213 all3605 these428 statutes,2706 to fear3372 the LORD3068 our God,430 for our good2896 always,3605 3117 that he might preserve2421 us alive,2421 as it is at this2088 day.3117
25 And it shall be our righteousness,6666 if3588 we observe8104 to do6213 all3605 these2063 commandments4687 before6440 the LORD3068 our God,430 as he has commanded6680 us.
1 When3588 the LORD3068 your God430 shall bring935 you into413 the land776 where834 8033 you go935 to possess3423 it, and has cast5394 out many7227 nations1471 before6440 you, the Hittites,2850 and the Girgashites,1622 and the Amorites,567 and the Canaanites,3669 and the Perizzites,6522 and the Hivites,2340 and the Jebusites,2983 seven7651 nations1471 greater7227 and mightier6099 than you;
2 And when the LORD3068 your God430 shall deliver5414 them before6440 you; you shall smite5221 them, and utterly destroy2763 them; you shall make3772 no3808 covenant1285 with them, nor3808 show mercy2603 to them:
3 Neither3808 shall you make marriages2859 with them; your daughter1323 you shall not give5414 to his son,1121 nor3808 his daughter1323 shall you take3947 to your son.1121
4 For they will turn5493 away your son1121 from following310 me, that they may serve5647 other312 gods:430 so will the anger639 of the LORD3068 be kindled2734 against you, and destroy8045 you suddenly.4118
5 But thus3541 shall you deal6213 with them; you shall destroy5422 their altars,4196 and break7665 down their images,4676 and cut1438 down their groves,842 and burn8313 their graven6456 images with fire.784
6 For you are an holy6918 people5971 to the LORD3068 your God:430 the LORD3068 your God430 has chosen977 you to be a special5459 people5971 to himself, above all3605 people5971 that are on the face6440 of the earth.127
7 The LORD3068 did not set his love2836 on you, nor3808 choose977 you, because you were more7230 in number than any3605 people;5971 for you were the fewest4592 of all3605 people:5971
8 But because3588 the LORD3068 loved160 you, and because he would keep8104 the oath7621 which834 he had sworn7650 to your fathers,1 has the LORD3068 brought3318 you out with a mighty2389 hand,3027 and redeemed6299 you out of the house1004 of slaves,5650 from the hand3027 of Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt.4714
9 Know3045 therefore that the LORD3068 your God,430 he is God,430 the faithful539 God,410 which834 keeps8104 covenant1285 and mercy2617 with them that love157 him and keep8104 his commandments4687 to a thousand505 generations;1755
10 And repays7999 them that hate8130 him to their face,6440 to destroy6 them: he will not be slack309 to him that hates8130 him, he will repay7999 him to his face.6440
11 You shall therefore keep8104 the commandments,4687 and the statutes,2706 and the judgments,4941 which834 I command6680 you this day,3117 to do6213 them.
12 Why it shall come1961 to pass, if6118 you listen8085 to these428 judgments,4941 and keep,8104 and do6213 them, that the LORD3068 your God430 shall keep8104 to you the covenant1285 and the mercy2617 which834 he swore7650 to your fathers:1
13 And he will love157 you, and bless1288 you, and multiply7235 you: he will also bless1288 the fruit6529 of your womb,990 and the fruit6529 of your land,127 your corn,1715 and your wine,8492 and your oil,3323 the increase7698 of your cows,504 and the flocks6251 of your sheep,6629 in the land127 which834 he swore7650 to your fathers1 to give5414 you.
14 You shall be blessed1288 above all3605 people:5971 there shall not be male or female barren6135 among you, or among your cattle.929
15 And the LORD3068 will take5493 away from you all3605 sickness,2483 and will put7760 none3808 of the evil7451 diseases4064 of Egypt,4714 which834 you know,3045 on you; but will lay5414 them on all3605 them that hate8130 you.
16 And you shall consume398 all3605 the people5971 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 shall deliver5414 you; your eye5869 shall have no3808 pity2347 on them: neither3808 shall you serve5647 their gods;430 for that will be a snare4170 to you.
17 If3588 you shall say559 in your heart,3824 These428 nations1471 are more7227 than I; how349 can3201 I dispossess3423 them?
18 You shall not be afraid3372 of them: but shall well remember2142 what853 834 the LORD3068 your God430 did6213 to Pharaoh,6547 and to all3605 Egypt;4714
19 The great1419 temptations4531 which834 your eyes5869 saw,7200 and the signs,226 and the wonders,4159 and the mighty2389 hand,3027 and the stretched5186 out arm,2220 whereby834 the LORD3068 your God430 brought3318 you out: so3651 shall the LORD3068 your God430 do6213 to all3605 the people5971 of whom834 6440 you are afraid.3373
20 Moreover1571 the LORD3068 your God430 will send7971 the hornet6880 among them, until5704 they that are left,7604 and hide5641 themselves from you, be destroyed.6
21 You shall not be affrighted6206 at6440 them: for the LORD3068 your God430 is among7130 you, a mighty1419 God410 and terrible.3372
22 And the LORD3068 your God430 will put5394 out those411 nations1471 before6440 you by little4592 and little:4592 you may3201 not consume3615 them at4118 once,4118 lest6435 the beasts2416 of the field7704 increase7235 on you.
23 But the LORD3068 your God430 shall deliver5414 them to you, and shall destroy2000 them with a mighty1419 destruction,4103 until5704 they be destroyed.8045
24 And he shall deliver5414 their kings4428 into your hand,3027 and you shall destroy6 their name8034 from under8478 heaven:8064 there shall no3808 man375 be able3320 to stand3320 before6440 you, until5704 you have destroyed8045 them.
25 The graven6456 images of their gods430 shall you burn8313 with fire:784 you shall not desire2530 the silver3701 or gold2091 that is on5921 them, nor take3947 it to you, lest6435 you be snared3369 therein: for it is an abomination8441 to the LORD3068 your God.430
26 Neither3808 shall you bring935 an abomination8441 into413 your house,1004 lest you be a cursed2764 thing like3644 it: but you shall utterly detest8262 it, and you shall utterly abhor8581 it; for it is a cursed2764 thing.
1 All3605 the commandments4687 which834 I command6680 you this day3117 shall you observe8104 to do,6213 that you may live,2421 and multiply,7235 and go935 in and possess3423 the land776 which834 the LORD3068 swore7650 to your fathers.1
2 And you shall remember2142 all3605 the way1870 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 led3212 you these2088 forty705 years8141 in the wilderness,4057 to humble6031 you, and to prove5254 you, to know3045 what853 834 was in your heart,3824 whether you would keep8104 his commandments,4687 or no.3808
3 And he humbled6031 you, and suffered you to hunger,7456 and fed398 you with manna,4478 which834 you knew3045 not, neither3808 did your fathers1 know;3045 that he might make you know3045 that man120 does not live2421 by bread3899 only,905 but by every3605 word that proceeds4161 out of the mouth6310 of the LORD3068 does man120 live.2421
4 Your raiment8071 waxed not old1086 on you, neither3808 did your foot7272 swell,1216 these2088 forty705 years.8141
5 You shall also consider3045 in your heart,3824 that, as a man376 chastens3256 his son,1121 so the LORD3068 your God430 chastens3256 you.
6 Therefore you shall keep8104 the commandments4687 of the LORD3068 your God,430 to walk3212 in his ways,1870 and to fear3372 him.
7 For the LORD3068 your God430 brings935 you into413 a good2896 land,776 a land776 of brooks5158 of water,4325 of fountains5869 and depths8415 that spring3318 out of valleys1237 and hills;2022
8 A land776 of wheat,2406 and barley,8184 and vines,1612 and fig8384 trees, and pomegranates;7416 a land776 of oil8081 olive,2132 and honey;1706
9 A land776 wherein834 you shall eat398 bread3899 without3808 scarceness,4544 you shall not lack2637 any3605 thing in it; a land776 whose834 stones68 are iron,1270 and out of whose hills2042 you may dig2672 brass.5178
10 When you have eaten398 and are full,7646 then you shall bless1288 the LORD3068 your God430 for the good2896 land776 which834 he has given5414 you.
11 Beware8104 that you forget7911 not the LORD3068 your God,430 in not keeping8104 his commandments,4687 and his judgments,4941 and his statutes,2708 which834 I command6680 you this day:3117
12 Lest6435 when you have eaten398 and are full,7646 and have built1129 goodly2896 houses,1004 and dwelled3427 therein;
13 And when your herds1241 and your flocks6629 multiply,7235 and your silver3701 and your gold2091 is multiplied,7235 and all3605 that you have is multiplied;7235
14 Then your heart3824 be lifted7311 up, and you forget7911 the LORD3068 your God,430 which brought3318 you forth4161 out of the land776 of Egypt,4714 from the house1004 of bondage;5650
15 Who led3212 you through that great1419 and terrible3372 wilderness,4057 wherein were fiery8314 serpents,5175 and scorpions,6137 and drought,6774 where834 there was no369 water;4325 who brought3318 you forth4161 water4325 out of the rock6697 of flint;2496
16 Who fed398 you in the wilderness4057 with manna,4478 which834 your fathers1 knew3045 not, that he might humble6031 you, and that he might prove5254 you, to do you good3190 at your latter319 end;
17 And you say559 in your heart,3824 My power3581 and the might6108 of my hand3027 has gotten6213 me this2088 wealth.2428
18 But you shall remember2142 the LORD3068 your God:430 for it is he that gives5414 you power3581 to get6213 wealth,2428 that he may establish6965 his covenant1285 which834 he swore7650 to your fathers,1 as it is this2088 day.3117
19 And it shall be, if518 you do at all forget7911 the LORD3068 your God,430 and walk1980 after310 other312 gods,430 and serve5647 them, and worship7812 them, I testify5749 against you this day3117 that you shall surely3588 perish.6
20 As the nations1471 which834 the LORD3068 destroys6 before your face, so3651 shall you perish;6 because6118 you would not be obedient8085 to the voice6963 of the LORD3068 your God.430
1 Hear,8085 O Israel:3478 You are to pass5674 over5674 Jordan3383 this day,3117 to go935 in to possess3423 nations1471 greater1419 and mightier6099 than yourself, cities5892 great1419 and fenced1219 up to heaven,8064
2 A people5971 great1419 and tall,7311 the children1121 of the Anakims,6062 whom834 you know,3045 and of whom834 you have heard8085 say, Who4310 can stand3320 before6440 the children1121 of Anak!6061
3 Understand3045 therefore this day,3117 that the LORD3068 your God430 is he which goes5674 over5674 before6440 you; as a consuming398 fire784 he shall destroy8045 them, and he shall bring3665 them down3665 before your face: so shall you drive3423 them out, and destroy6 them quickly,4118 as the LORD3068 has said1696 to you.
4 Speak559 not you in your heart,3824 after that the LORD3068 your God430 has cast1920 them out from before6440 you, saying,559 For my righteousness6666 the LORD3068 has brought935 me in to possess3423 this2088 land:776 but for the wickedness7564 of these428 nations1471 the LORD3068 does drive3423 them out from before6440 you.
5 Not for your righteousness,6666 or for the uprightness3476 of your heart,3824 do you go935 to possess3423 their land:776 but for the wickedness7564 of these428 nations1471 the LORD3068 your God430 does drive3423 them out from before6440 you, and that he may perform6965 the word1697 which834 the LORD3068 swore7650 to your fathers,1 Abraham,85 Isaac,3327 and Jacob.3290
6 Understand3045 therefore, that the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you not this2063 good2896 land776 to possess3423 it for your righteousness;6666 for you are a stiff necked7186 6203 people.5971
7 Remember,2142 and forget7911 not, how834 you provoked the LORD3068 your God430 to wrath7107 in the wilderness:4057 from the day3117 that you did depart3318 out of the land776 of Egypt,4714 until5704 you came935 to this2088 place,4725 you have been1961 rebellious4784 against5973 the LORD.3068
8 Also in Horeb2722 you provoked the LORD3068 to wrath,7107 so that the LORD3068 was angry599 with you to have destroyed8045 you.
9 When I was gone5927 up into the mount2022 to receive3947 the tables3871 of stone,68 even the tables3871 of the covenant1285 which834 the LORD3068 made3772 with you, then I stayed3427 in the mount2022 forty705 days3117 and forty705 nights,3915 I neither3808 did eat398 bread3899 nor3808 drink8354 water:4325
10 And the LORD3068 delivered5414 to me two8147 tables3871 of stone68 written3789 with the finger676 of God;430 and on5921 them was written according to all3605 the words,1697 which834 the LORD3068 spoke1696 with you in the mount2022 out of the middle8432 of the fire784 in the day3117 of the assembly.6951
11 And it came1961 to pass at the end7093 of forty705 days3117 and forty705 nights,3915 that the LORD3068 gave5414 me the two8147 tables3871 of stone,68 even the tables3871 of the covenant.1285
12 And the LORD3068 said559 to me, Arise,6965 get3381 you down3381 quickly4118 from hence;2088 for your people5971 which you have brought3318 forth3318 out of Egypt4714 have corrupted7843 themselves; they are quickly4118 turned5493 aside out of the way1870 which834 I commanded6680 them; they have made6213 them a molten4541 image.
13 Furthermore the LORD3068 spoke559 to me, saying,559 I have seen7200 this2088 people,5971 and, behold,2009 it is a stiff necked7186 6203 people:5971
14 Let me alone,7503 that I may destroy8045 them, and blot4229 out their name8034 from under8478 heaven:8064 and I will make6213 of you a nation1471 mightier6099 and greater7227 than they.
15 So I turned6437 and came3381 down3381 from the mount,2022 and the mount2022 burned1197 with fire:784 and the two8147 tables3871 of the covenant1285 were in my two8147 hands.3027
16 And I looked,7200 and, behold,2009 you had sinned2398 against the LORD3068 your God,430 and had made6213 you a molten4541 calf:5695 you had turned5493 aside quickly4118 out of the way1870 which834 the LORD3068 had commanded6680 you.
17 And I took8610 the two8147 tables,3871 and cast7993 them out of my two8147 hands,3027 and broke7665 them before your eyes.5869
18 And I fell5307 down before6440 the LORD,3068 as at the first,7223 forty705 days3117 and forty705 nights:3915 I did neither3808 eat398 bread,3899 nor3808 drink8354 water,4325 because5921 of all3605 your sins2403 which834 you sinned,2398 in doing6213 wickedly7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 to provoke him to anger.3707
19 For I was afraid3025 of the anger639 and hot2534 displeasure,2534 with which834 the LORD3068 was wroth7107 against5921 you to destroy8045 you. But the LORD3068 listened8085 to me at that time6471 also.1571
20 And the LORD3068 was very3966 angry599 with Aaron175 to have destroyed8045 him: and I prayed6419 for Aaron175 also1571 the same1931 time.6256
21 And I took3947 your sin,2403 the calf5695 which834 you had made,6213 and burnt8313 it with fire,784 and stamped3807 it, and ground2912 it very3190 small,3190 even until5704 it was as small1854 as dust:6083 and I cast7993 the dust6083 thereof into413 the brook5158 that descended3381 out of the mount.2022
22 And at Taberah,8404 and at Massah,4532 and at Kibrothhattaavah,6914 you provoked the LORD3068 to wrath.7107
23 Likewise when the LORD3068 sent7971 you from Kadeshbarnea,6947 saying,559 Go5927 up and possess3423 the land776 which834 I have given5414 you; then you rebelled4784 against the commandment6310 of the LORD3068 your God,430 and you believed539 him not, nor3808 listened8085 to his voice.6963
24 You have been1961 rebellious4784 against5973 the LORD3068 from the day3117 that I knew3045 you.
25 Thus I fell5307 down before6440 the LORD3068 forty705 days3117 and forty705 nights,3915 as I fell5307 down at the first; because3588 the LORD3068 had said559 he would destroy8045 you.
26 I prayed6419 therefore to the LORD,3068 and said,559 O Lord136 GOD,3069 destroy7843 not your people5971 and your inheritance,5159 which834 you have redeemed6299 through your greatness,1433 which834 you have brought3318 forth3318 out of Egypt4714 with a mighty2389 hand.3027
27 Remember2142 your servants,5650 Abraham,85 Isaac,3327 and Jacob;3290 look6437 not to the stubbornness7190 of this2088 people,5971 nor to their wickedness,7562 nor to their sin:2403
28 Lest6435 the land776 from where834 8033 you brought3318 us out say,559 Because the LORD3068 was not able3201 to bring935 them into413 the land776 which834 he promised1696 them, and because he hated8135 them, he has brought3318 them out to slay4191 them in the wilderness.4057
29 Yet they are your people5971 and your inheritance,5159 which834 you brought3318 out by your mighty1419 power3581 and by your stretched5186 out arm.2220
1 At that time6256 the LORD3068 said559 to me, Hew6458 you two8147 tables3871 of stone68 like to the first,7223 and come5927 up to me into the mount,2022 and make6213 you an ark727 of wood.6086
2 And I will write3789 on5921 the tables3871 the words1697 that were in the first7223 tables3871 which834 you brake,7665 and you shall put7760 them in the ark.727
3 And I made6213 an ark727 of shittim7848 wood,6086 and hewed6458 two8147 tables3871 of stone68 like to the first,7223 and went5927 up into the mount,2022 having the two8147 tables3871 in my hand.3027
4 And he wrote3789 on5921 the tables,3871 according to the first7223 writing,4385 the ten6235 commandments,1697 which834 the LORD3068 spoke1696 to you in the mount2022 out of the middle8432 of the fire784 in the day3117 of the assembly:6951 and the LORD3068 gave5414 them to me.
5 And I turned6437 myself and came3381 down3381 from the mount,2022 and put7760 the tables3871 in the ark727 which834 I had made;6213 and there8033 they be, as the LORD3068 commanded6680 me.
6 And the children1121 of Israel3478 took their journey5265 from Beeroth881 of the children1121 of Jaakan3292 to Mosera:4149 there8033 Aaron175 died,4191 and there8033 he was buried;6912 and Eleazar499 his son1121 ministered in the priest's3547 office in his stead.8478
7 From there8033 they journeyed5265 to Gudgodah;1412 and from Gudgodah1412 to Jotbath,3193 a land776 of rivers5158 of waters.4325
8 At that time6256 the LORD3068 separated914 the tribe7626 of Levi,3878 to bear5375 the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD,3068 to stand5975 before6440 the LORD3068 to minister8334 to him, and to bless1288 in his name,8034 to this2088 day.3117
9 Why5921 3651 Levi3878 has1961 no3808 part2506 nor inheritance5159 with his brothers;251 the LORD3068 is his inheritance,5159 according as the LORD3068 your God430 promised1696 him.
10 And I stayed5975 in the mount,2022 according to the first7223 time,3117 forty705 days3117 and forty705 nights;3915 and the LORD3068 listened8085 to me at that time6471 also,1571 and the LORD3068 would14 not destroy7843 you.
11 And the LORD3068 said559 to me, Arise,6965 take your journey4550 before6440 the people,5971 that they may go935 in and possess3423 the land,776 which834 I swore7650 to their fathers1 to give5414 to them.
12 And now,6258 Israel,3478 what4100 does the LORD3068 your God430 require7592 of you, but to fear3372 the LORD3068 your God,430 to walk3212 in all3605 his ways,1870 and to love157 him, and to serve5647 the LORD3068 your God430 with all3605 your heart3824 and with all3605 your soul,5315
13 To keep8104 the commandments4687 of the LORD,3068 and his statutes,2708 which834 I command6680 you this day3117 for your good?2896
14 Behold,2005 the heaven8064 and the heaven8064 of heavens8064 is the LORD's3068 your God,430 the earth776 also, with all3605 that therein is.
15 Only7535 the LORD3068 had a delight2836 in your fathers1 to love157 them, and he chose977 their seed2233 after310 them, even you above all3605 people,5971 as it is this2088 day.3117
16 Circumcise4135 therefore the foreskin6190 of your heart,3824 and be no3808 more5750 stiff necked.7185 6203
17 For the LORD3068 your God430 is God430 of gods,430 and Lord113 of lords,113 a great1419 God,410 a mighty,1368 and a terrible,3372 which834 regards5375 not persons,6440 nor3808 takes3947 reward:7810
18 He does execute6213 the judgment4941 of the fatherless3490 and widow,490 and loves157 the stranger,1616 in giving5414 him food3899 and raiment.8071
19 Love157 you therefore the stranger:1616 for you were strangers1616 in the land776 of Egypt.4714
20 You shall fear3372 the LORD3068 your God;430 him shall you serve,5647 and to him shall you hold,1692 and swear7650 by his name.8034
21 He is your praise,8416 and he is your God,430 that has done6213 for you these428 great1419 and terrible3372 things, which834 your eyes5869 have seen.7200
22 Your fathers1 went3381 down3381 into Egypt4714 with three score7657 and ten6235 persons;5315 and now6258 the LORD3068 your God430 has made7760 you as the stars3556 of heaven8064 for multitude.7230
1 Therefore you shall love157 the LORD3068 your God,430 and keep8104 his charge,4931 and his statutes,2708 and his judgments,4941 and his commandments,4687 always.3605 3117
2 And know3045 you this day:3117 for I speak not with your children1121 which834 have not known,3045 and which834 have not seen7200 the chastisement4148 of the LORD3068 your God,430 his greatness,1433 his mighty2389 hand,3027 and his stretched5186 out arm,2220
3 And his miracles,226 and his acts,4639 which834 he did6213 in the middle8432 of Egypt4714 to Pharaoh6547 the king4428 of Egypt,4714 and to all3605 his land;776
4 And what834 he did6213 to the army2428 of Egypt,4714 to their horses,5483 and to their chariots;7393 how834 he made the water4325 of the Red5488 sea3220 to overflow6687 them as they pursued7291 after310 you, and how the LORD3068 has destroyed6 them to this2088 day;3117
5 And what834 he did6213 to you in the wilderness,4057 until5704 you came935 into5704 this2088 place;4725
6 And what834 he did6213 to Dathan1885 and Abiram,48 the sons1121 of Eliab,446 the son1121 of Reuben:7205 how834 the earth776 opened6475 her mouth,6310 and swallowed1104 them up, and their households,1004 and their tents,168 and all3605 the substance3351 that was in their possession,7272 in the middle7130 of all3605 Israel:3478
7 But your eyes5869 have seen7200 all3605 the great1419 acts4639 of the LORD3068 which834 he did.6213
8 Therefore shall you keep8104 all3605 the commandments4687 which834 I command6680 you this day,3117 that you may be strong,2388 and go935 in and possess3423 the land,776 where834 8033 you go5674 to possess3423 it;
9 And that you may prolong748 your days3117 in the land,127 which834 the LORD3068 swore7650 to your fathers1 to give5414 to them and to their seed,2233 a land776 that flows2100 with milk2461 and honey.1706
10 For the land,776 where834 8033 you go935 in to possess3423 it, is not as the land776 of Egypt,4714 from from where834 8033 you came3318 out, where834 you sowed2232 your seed,2233 and watered8248 it with your foot,7272 as a garden1588 of herbs:3419
11 But the land,776 where834 8033 you go to possess3423 it, is a land776 of hills2022 and valleys,1237 and drinks8354 water4325 of the rain4306 of heaven:8064
12 A land776 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 cares1875 for: the eyes5869 of the LORD3068 your God430 are always8548 on it, from the beginning7225 of the year8141 even to the end319 of the year.8141
13 And it shall come1961 to pass, if518 you shall listen8085 diligently to my commandments4687 which834 I command6680 you this day,3117 to love157 the LORD3068 your God,430 and to serve5647 him with all3605 your heart3824 and with all3605 your soul,5315
14 That I will give5414 you the rain4306 of your land776 in his due season,6256 the first3138 rain4456 and the latter4456 rain,3138 that you may gather622 in your corn,1715 and your wine,8492 and your oil.3323
15 And I will send5414 grass6212 in your fields7704 for your cattle,929 that you may eat398 and be full.7646
16 Take heed8104 to yourselves, that your heart3824 be not deceived,6601 and you turn5493 aside, and serve5647 other312 gods,430 and worship7812 them;
17 And then the LORD's3068 wrath639 be kindled2734 against you, and he shut6113 up the heaven,8064 that there be no3808 rain,4306 and that the land127 yield5414 not her fruit;2981 and lest you perish6 quickly4120 from off5921 the good2896 land776 which834 the LORD3068 gives5414 you.
18 Therefore shall you lay7760 up these429 my words1697 in your heart3824 and in your soul,5315 and bind7194 them for a sign226 on your hand,3027 that they may be as frontlets2903 between996 your eyes.5869
19 And you shall teach3925 them your children,1121 speaking1696 of them when you sit3427 in your house,1004 and when you walk3212 by the way,1870 when you lie7901 down, and when you rise6965 up.
20 And you shall write3789 them on the door4201 posts4201 of your house,1004 and on your gates:8179
21 That your days3117 may be multiplied,7235 and the days3117 of your children,1121 in the land127 which834 the LORD3068 swore7650 to your fathers1 to give5414 them, as the days3117 of heaven8064 on the earth.776
22 For if518 you shall diligently keep8104 all3605 these2063 commandments4687 which834 I command6680 you, to do6213 them, to love157 the LORD3068 your God,430 to walk3212 in all3605 his ways,1870 and to join1692 to him;
23 Then will the LORD3068 drive3423 out all3605 these428 nations1471 from before6440 you, and you shall possess3423 greater1419 nations1471 and mightier6099 than yourselves.
24 Every3605 place4725 where on834 the soles3709 of your feet7272 shall tread1869 shall be yours: from the wilderness4057 and Lebanon,3844 from the river,5104 the river5104 Euphrates,6578 even to the uttermost314 sea3220 shall your coast1366 be.
25 There shall no3808 man376 be able3320 to stand3320 before6440 you: for the LORD3068 your God430 shall lay5414 the fear6343 of you and the dread4172 of you on all3605 the land776 that you shall tread1869 on, as he has said1696 to you.
26 Behold,7200 I set5414 before6440 you this day3117 a blessing1293 and a curse;7045
27 A blessing,1293 if834 you obey8085 the commandments4687 of the LORD3068 your God,430 which834 I command6680 you this day:3117
28 And a curse,7045 if518 you will not obey8085 the commandments4687 of the LORD3068 your God,430 but turn5493 aside out of the way1870 which834 I command6680 you this day,3117 to go3212 after310 other312 gods,430 which834 you have not known.3045
29 And it shall come1961 to pass, when3588 the LORD3068 your God430 has brought935 you in to the land776 where834 8033 you go935 to possess3423 it, that you shall put5414 the blessing1293 on mount2022 Gerizim,1630 and the curse7045 on mount2022 Ebal.5858
30 Are they not on the other5676 side5676 Jordan,3383 by the way1870 where the sun8121 goes3996 down,3996 in the land776 of the Canaanites,3669 which dwell3427 in the desert6160 over4136 against4136 Gilgal,1537 beside681 the plains436 of Moreh?4176
31 For you shall pass5674 over5674 Jordan3383 to go935 in to possess3423 the land776 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you, and you shall possess3423 it, and dwell3427 therein.
32 And you shall observe8104 to do6213 all3605 the statutes2706 and judgments4941 which834 I set5414 before6440 you this day.3117
1 These428 are the statutes2706 and judgments,4941 which834 you shall observe8104 to do6213 in the land,776 which834 the LORD3068 God430 of your fathers1 gives5414 you to possess3423 it, all3605 the days3117 that you live2416 on the earth.127
2 You shall utterly destroy6 all3605 the places,4725 wherein834 8033 the nations1471 which834 you shall possess3423 served5647 their gods,430 on the high7311 mountains,2022 and on the hills,1389 and under8478 every3605 green7488 tree:6086
3 And you shall overthrow5422 their altars,4196 and break7665 their pillars,4676 and burn8313 their groves842 with fire;784 and you shall hew1438 down1438 the graven6456 images of their gods,430 and destroy6 the names8034 of them out of that place.4725
4 You shall not do6213 so3651 to the LORD3068 your God.430
5 But to the place4725 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 shall choose977 out of all3605 your tribes7626 to put7760 his name8034 there,8033 even to his habitation7933 shall you seek,1875 and thither8033 you shall come:935
6 And thither8033 you shall bring935 your burnt5930 offerings, and your sacrifices,2077 and your tithes,4643 and heave8641 offerings of your hand,3027 and your vows,5088 and your freewill5071 offerings, and the firstborn1062 of your herds1241 and of your flocks:6629
7 And there8033 you shall eat398 before6440 the LORD3068 your God,430 and you shall rejoice8055 in all3605 that you put4916 your hand3027 to, you and your households,1004 wherein834 the LORD3068 your God430 has blessed1288 you.
8 You shall not do6213 after all3605 the things that we do6213 here6311 this day,3117 every man376 whatever3605 is right3477 in his own eyes.5869
9 For you are not as yet5704 6258 come935 to the rest4496 and to the inheritance,5159 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you.
10 But when you go5674 over5674 Jordan,3383 and dwell3427 in the land776 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives you to inherit,5157 and when he gives you rest5117 from all3605 your enemies341 round5439 about, so that you dwell3427 in safety;983
11 Then there shall be a place4725 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 shall choose977 to cause his name8034 to dwell7931 there;8033 thither8033 shall you bring935 all3605 that I command6680 you; your burnt5930 offerings, and your sacrifices,2077 your tithes,4643 and the heave8641 offering8641 of your hand,3027 and all3605 your choice4005 vows5088 which834 you vow5087 to the LORD:3068
12 And you shall rejoice8055 before6440 the LORD3068 your God,430 you, and your sons,1121 and your daughters,1323 and your menservants,5650 and your maidservants,519 and the Levite3881 that is within your gates;8179 for as much3588 as he has no369 part2506 nor inheritance5159 with you.
13 Take heed8104 to yourself that you offer5927 not your burnt5930 offerings in every3605 place4725 that you see:7200
14 But in the place4725 which834 the LORD3068 shall choose977 in one259 of your tribes,7626 there8033 you shall offer5927 your burnt5930 offerings, and there8033 you shall do6213 all3605 that I command6680 you.
15 Notwithstanding7535 you may kill2076 and eat398 flesh1320 in all3605 your gates,8179 whatever3605 your soul5315 lusts183 after, according to the blessing1293 of the LORD3068 your God430 which834 he has given5414 you: the unclean2931 and the clean2889 may eat398 thereof, as of the roebuck,6643 and as of the hart.354
16 Only7535 you shall not eat398 the blood;1818 you shall pour8210 it on the earth776 as water.4325
17 You may3201 not eat398 within your gates8179 the tithe4643 of your corn,1715 or of your wine,8492 or of your oil,3323 or the firstborn1062 of your herds1241 or of your flock,6629 nor any3605 of your vows5088 which834 you vow,5087 nor your freewill5071 offerings, or heave8641 offering8641 of your hand:3027
18 But you must eat398 them before6440 the LORD3068 your God430 in the place4725 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 shall choose,977 you, and your son,1121 and your daughter,1323 and your manservant,5650 and your maidservant,519 and the Levite3881 that is within your gates:8179 and you shall rejoice8055 before6440 the LORD3068 your God430 in all3605 that you put4916 your hands3027 to.
19 Take heed8104 to yourself that you forsake5800 not the Levite3881 as long3117 as you live3117 on the earth.127
20 When3588 the LORD3068 your God430 shall enlarge7337 your border,1366 as he has promised1696 you, and you shall say,559 I will eat398 flesh,1320 because3588 your soul5315 longs183 to eat398 flesh;1320 you may eat398 flesh,1320 whatever3605 your soul5315 lusts183 after.
21 If3588 the place4725 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 has chosen977 to put7760 his name8034 there8033 be too7368 far7368 from you, then you shall kill2076 of your herd1241 and of your flock,6629 which834 the LORD3068 has given5414 you, as I have commanded6680 you, and you shall eat398 in your gates8179 whatever3605 your soul5315 lusts183 after.
22 Even389 as the roebuck6643 and the hart354 is eaten,398 so3651 you shall eat398 them: the unclean2931 and the clean2889 shall eat398 of them alike.3162
23 Only7535 be sure2388 that you eat398 not the blood:1818 for the blood1818 is the life;5315 and you may not eat398 the life5315 with the flesh.1320
24 You shall not eat398 it; you shall pour8210 it on the earth776 as water.4325
25 You shall not eat398 it; that it may go well3190 with you, and with your children1121 after310 you, when3588 you shall do6213 that which is right3477 in the sight5869 of the LORD.3068
26 Only7535 your holy6944 things which834 you have,1961 and your vows,5088 you shall take,5375 and go935 to the place4725 which834 the LORD3068 shall choose:977
27 And you shall offer6213 your burnt5930 offerings, the flesh1320 and the blood,1818 on the altar4196 of the LORD3068 your God:430 and the blood1818 of your sacrifices2077 shall be poured8210 out on the altar4196 of the LORD3068 your God,430 and you shall eat398 the flesh.1320
28 Observe8104 and hear8085 all3605 these428 words1697 which834 I command6680 you, that it may go well3190 with you, and with your children1121 after310 you for ever,5769 when3588 you do6213 that which is good2896 and right3477 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068 your God.430
29 When3588 the LORD3068 your God430 shall cut3772 off the nations1471 from before6440 you, where834 8033 you go935 to possess3423 them, and you succeed3423 them, and dwell3427 in their land;776
30 Take heed8104 to yourself that you be not snared5367 by following310 them, after310 that they be destroyed8045 from before6440 you; and that you inquire1875 not after their gods,430 saying,559 How349 did these428 nations1471 serve5647 their gods?430 even1571 so3651 will I do6213 likewise.3651
31 You shall not do6213 so3651 to the LORD3068 your God:430 for every3605 abomination8441 to the LORD,3068 which834 he hates,8130 have they done6213 to their gods;430 for even1571 their sons1121 and their daughters1323 they have burnt8313 in the fire784 to their gods.430
32 What853 thing1697 soever834 I command6680 you, observe8104 to do6213 it: you shall not add3254 thereto,5921 nor3808 diminish1639 from it.
1 If3588 there arise6965 among7130 you a prophet,5030 or176 a dreamer2492 of dreams,2472 and gives5414 you a sign226 or176 a wonder,4159
2 And the sign226 or the wonder4159 come935 to pass, whereof834 he spoke1696 to you, saying,559 Let us go3212 after310 other312 gods,430 which834 you have not known,3045 and let us serve5647 them;
3 You shall not listen8085 to the words1697 of that prophet,5030 or176 that dreamer2492 of dreams:2472 for the LORD3068 your God430 proves5254 you, to know3045 whether you love157 the LORD3068 your God430 with all3605 your heart3824 and with all3605 your soul.5315
4 You shall walk3212 after310 the LORD3068 your God,430 and fear3372 him, and keep8104 his commandments,4687 and obey8085 his voice,6963 and you shall serve5647 him, and join1692 to him.
5 And that prophet,5030 or176 that dreamer2492 of dreams,2472 shall be put to death;4191 because3588 he has spoken1696 to turn5627 you away from the LORD3068 your God,430 which brought3318 you out of the land776 of Egypt,4714 and redeemed6299 you out of the house1004 of bondage,5650 to thrust5080 you out of the way1870 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 commanded6680 you to walk3212 in. So shall you put1197 the evil7451 away1197 from the middle7130 of you.
6 If3588 your brother,251 the son1121 of your mother,517 or your son,1121 or your daughter,1323 or176 the wife802 of your bosom,2436 or176 your friend,7453 which834 is as your own soul,5315 entice5496 you secretly,5643 saying,559 Let us go3212 and serve5647 other312 gods,430 which834 you have not known,3045 you, nor your fathers;1
7 Namely, of the gods430 of the people5971 which834 are round5439 about you, near7126 to you, or176 far7350 off from you, from the one end7097 of the earth776 even to the other end7097 of the earth;776
8 You shall not consent14 to him, nor3808 listen8085 to him; neither3808 shall your eye5869 pity2347 him, neither3808 shall you spare,2550 neither3808 shall you conceal3680 him:
9 But you shall surely3588 kill2026 him; your hand3027 shall be first7223 on him to put him to death,4191 and afterwards314 the hand3027 of all3605 the people.5971
10 And you shall stone5619 him with stones,68 that he die;4191 because3588 he has sought1245 to thrust5080 you away from the LORD3068 your God,430 which brought3318 you out of the land776 of Egypt,4714 from the house1004 of bondage.5650
11 And all3605 Israel3478 shall hear,8085 and fear,3372 and shall do6213 no3808 more3254 any1697 such wickedness7451 as this2088 is among7130 you.
12 If3588 you shall hear8085 say in one259 of your cities,5892 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 has given5414 you to dwell3427 there,8033 saying,559
13 Certain men,582 the children1121 of Belial,1100 are gone3318 out from among7130 you, and have withdrawn5080 the inhabitants3427 of their city,5892 saying,559 Let us go3212 and serve5647 other312 gods,430 which834 you have not known;3045
14 Then shall you inquire,1875 and make search,2713 and ask7592 diligently;3190 and, behold,2009 if it be truth,571 and the thing1697 certain,3559 that such2063 abomination8441 is worked6213 among7130 you;
15 You shall surely smite5221 the inhabitants3427 of that city5892 with the edge6310 of the sword,2719 destroying2763 it utterly, and all3605 that is therein, and the cattle929 thereof, with the edge6310 of the sword.2719
16 And you shall gather6908 all3605 the spoil7998 of it into413 the middle8432 of the street7339 thereof, and shall burn8313 with fire784 the city,5892 and all3605 the spoil7998 thereof every3632 whit,3632 for the LORD3068 your God:430 and it shall be an heap8510 for ever;5769 it shall not be built1129 again.5750
17 And there shall stick1692 nothing408 3972 of the cursed2764 thing to your hand:3027 that the LORD3068 may turn7725 from the fierceness2740 of his anger,639 and show5414 you mercy,7356 and have compassion7355 on you, and multiply7235 you, as he has sworn7650 to your fathers;1
18 When3588 you shall listen8085 to the voice6963 of the LORD3068 your God,430 to keep8104 all3605 his commandments4687 which834 I command6680 you this day,3117 to do6213 that which is right3477 in the eyes5869 of the LORD3068 your God.430
1 You are the children1121 of the LORD3068 your God:430 you shall not cut1413 yourselves, nor3808 make7760 any baldness7144 between996 your eyes5869 for the dead.4191
2 For you are an holy6918 people5971 to the LORD3068 your God,430 and the LORD3068 has chosen977 you to be a peculiar5459 people5971 to himself, above all3605 the nations5971 that are on the earth.127
3 You shall not eat398 any3605 abominable8441 thing.
4 These2063 are the beasts929 which834 you shall eat:398 the ox,7794 the sheep,3775 and the goat,5795
5 The hart,354 and the roebuck,6643 and the fallow3180 deer,3180 and the wild689 goat,689 and the pygarg,1788 and the wild8377 ox,8377 and the chamois.2169
6 And every3605 beast929 that parts6536 the hoof,6541 and separates8157 the cleft8156 into two8147 claws,6541 and chews5927 the cud1625 among the beasts,929 that you shall eat.398
7 Nevertheless389 these2088 you shall not eat398 of them that chew5927 the cud,1625 or of them that divide6536 the cloven8156 hoof;6541 as the camel,1581 and the hare,768 and the coney:8227 for they chew5927 the cud,1625 but divide6536 not the hoof;6541 therefore they are unclean2931 to you.
8 And the swine,2386 because3588 it divides6536 the hoof,6541 yet chews not the cud,1625 it is unclean2931 to you: you shall not eat398 of their flesh,1320 nor3808 touch5060 their dead5038 carcass.5038
9 These2088 you shall eat398 of all3605 that are in the waters:4325 all3605 that have fins5579 and scales7193 shall you eat:398
10 And whatever3605 834 has not fins5579 and scales7193 you may not eat;398 it is unclean2931 to you.
11 Of all3605 clean2889 birds6833 you shall eat.398
12 But these2088 are they of which834 you shall not eat:398 the eagle,5404 and the ossifrage,6538 and the ospray,5822
13 And the glede,7201 and the kite,344 and the vulture1772 after his kind,4327
14 And every3605 raven6158 after his kind,4327
15 And the owl,1323 3284 and the night8464 hawk,8464 and the cuckow,7828 and the hawk5322 after his kind,4327
16 The little3563 owl,3563 and the great3244 owl,3244 and the swan,8580
17 And the pelican,6893 and the gier7360 eagle,7360 and the cormorant,7994
18 And the stork,2624 and the heron601 after her kind,4327 and the lapwing,1744 and the bat.5847
19 And every3605 creeping8318 thing that flies5775 is unclean2931 to you: they shall not be eaten.398
20 But of all3605 clean2889 fowls5775 you may eat.398
21 You shall not eat398 of anything3605 that dies5038 of itself: you shall give5414 it to the stranger1616 that is in your gates,8179 that he may eat398 it; or176 you may sell4376 it to an alien:5237 for you are an holy6918 people5971 to the LORD3068 your God.430 You shall not seethe1310 a kid1423 in his mother's517 milk.2461
22 You shall truly tithe6237 all3605 the increase8393 of your seed,2233 that the field7704 brings3318 forth3318 year8141 by year.8141
23 And you shall eat398 before6440 the LORD3068 your God,430 in the place4725 which834 he shall choose977 to place7931 his name8034 there,8033 the tithe4643 of your corn,1715 of your wine,8492 and of your oil,3323 and the firstborn1062 of your herds1241 and of your flocks;6629 that you may learn3925 to fear3372 the LORD3068 your God430 always.3605 3117
24 And if3588 the way1870 be too long7235 for you, so that you are not able3201 to carry5375 it; or if3588 the place4725 be too far7368 from you, which834 the LORD3068 your God430 shall choose977 to set7760 his name8034 there,8033 when3588 the LORD3068 your God430 has blessed1288 you:
25 Then shall you turn5414 it into money,3701 and bind6887 up the money3701 in your hand,3027 and shall go1980 to the place4725 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 shall choose:977
26 And you shall bestow5414 that money3701 for whatever3605 834 your soul5315 lusts183 after, for oxen,1241 or for sheep,6629 or for wine,3196 or for strong drink,7941 or for whatever3605 834 your soul5315 desires:7592 and you shall eat398 there8033 before6440 the LORD3068 your God,430 and you shall rejoice,8055 you, and your household,1004
27 And the Levite3881 that is within your gates;8179 you shall not forsake5800 him; for he has no369 part2506 nor inheritance5159 with you.
28 At the end7097 of three7969 years8141 you shall bring3318 forth3318 all3605 the tithe4643 of your increase8393 the same1931 year,8141 and shall lay3240 it up within your gates:8179
29 And the Levite,3881 (because3588 he has no369 part2506 nor inheritance5159 with you,) and the stranger,1616 and the fatherless,3490 and the widow,490 which834 are within your gates,8179 shall come,935 and shall eat398 and be satisfied;7646 that the LORD3068 your God430 may bless1288 you in all3605 the work4639 of your hand3027 which834 you do.6213
1 At the end7093 of every seven7651 years8141 you shall make6213 a release.8059
2 And this2088 is the manner1697 of the release:8059 Every3605 creditor1167 that lends5383 ought to his neighbor7453 shall release8058 it; he shall not exact5065 it of his neighbor,7453 or of his brother;251 because3588 it is called7121 the LORD's3068 release.8059
3 Of a foreigner5237 you may exact5065 it again: but that which834 is your with your brother251 your hand3027 shall release;8058
4 Save657 when3588 there shall be no3808 poor34 among you; for the LORD3068 shall greatly bless1288 you in the land776 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you for an inheritance5159 to possess3423 it:
5 Only7535 if518 you carefully8085 listen8085 to the voice6963 of the LORD3068 your God,430 to observe8104 to do6213 all3605 these2063 commandments4687 which834 I command6680 you this day.3117
6 For the LORD3068 your God430 blesses1288 you, as he promised1696 you: and you shall lend5670 to many7227 nations,1471 but you shall not borrow;5670 and you shall reign4910 over many7227 nations,1471 but they shall not reign4910 over you.
7 If3588 there be among you a poor34 man of one259 of your brothers251 within any259 of your gates8179 in your land776 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you, you shall not harden553 your heart,3824 nor3808 shut7092 your hand3027 from your poor34 brother:251
8 But you shall open6605 your hand3027 wide6605 to him, and shall surely lend5670 him sufficient1767 for his need,4270 in that which834 he wants.2637
9 Beware8104 that there be not a thought1697 in your wicked1100 heart,3824 saying,559 The seventh7637 year,8141 the year8141 of release,8059 is at7126 hand;7126 and your eye5869 be evil7489 against your poor34 brother,251 and you give5414 him nothing;3808 and he cry7121 to the LORD3068 against5921 you, and it be sin2399 to you.
10 You shall surely give5414 him, and your heart3824 shall not be grieved7489 when you give5414 to him: because3588 that for this2088 thing1697 the LORD3068 your God430 shall bless1288 you in all3605 your works,4639 and in all3605 that you put4916 your hand3027 to.
11 For the poor34 shall never3808 cease2308 out of the land:776 therefore5921 3651 I command6680 you, saying,559 You shall open6605 your hand3027 wide6605 to your brother,251 to your poor,6041 and to your needy,34 in your land.776
12 And if3588 your brother,251 an Hebrew5680 man, or176 an Hebrew5680 woman, be sold4376 to you, and serve5647 you six8337 years;8141 then in the seventh7637 year8141 you shall let him go7971 free2670 from you.
13 And when3588 you send7971 him out free2670 from you, you shall not let him go7971 away empty:7387
14 You shall furnish6059 him liberally6059 out of your flock,6629 and out of your floor,1637 and out of your wine press:3342 of that with which834 the LORD3068 your God430 has blessed1288 you you shall give5414 to him.
15 And you shall remember2142 that you were1961 a slave5650 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 and the LORD3068 your God430 redeemed6299 you: therefore5921 3651 I command6680 you this2088 thing1697 to day.3117
16 And it shall be, if3588 he say559 to you, I will not go3318 away3318 from you; because3588 he loves157 you and your house,1004 because3588 he is well2895 with you;
17 Then you shall take3947 an awl,4836 and thrust5414 it through his ear241 to the door,1817 and he shall be your servant5650 for ever.5769 And also637 to your maidservant519 you shall do6213 likewise.3651
18 It shall not seem7185 hard7185 to you, when you send7971 him away free2670 from you; for he has been worth7939 a double4932 hired7916 servant7916 to you, in serving5647 you six8337 years:8141 and the LORD3068 your God430 shall bless1288 you in all3605 that you do.6213
19 All3605 the firstling1060 males2145 that come3205 of your herd1241 and of your flock6629 you shall sanctify6942 to the LORD3068 your God:430 you shall do no3808 work5647 with the firstling1060 of your bullock,7794 nor3808 shear1494 the firstling1060 of your sheep.6629
20 You shall eat398 it before6440 the LORD3068 your God430 year8141 by year8141 in the place4725 which834 the LORD3068 shall choose,977 you and your household.1004
21 And if3588 there be any blemish3971 therein, as if it be lame,6455 or176 blind,5787 or have any3605 ill7451 blemish,3971 you shall not sacrifice2076 it to the LORD3068 your God.430
22 You shall eat it within your gates:8179 the unclean2931 and the clean2889 person shall eat398 it alike,3162 as the roebuck,6643 and as the hart.354
23 Only7535 you shall not eat398 the blood1818 thereof; you shall pour8210 it on the ground776 as water.4325
1 Observe8104 the month2320 of Abib,24 and keep6213 the passover6453 to the LORD3068 your God:430 for in the month2320 of Abib24 the LORD3068 your God430 brought3318 you forth3318 out of Egypt4714 by night.3915
2 You shall therefore sacrifice2076 the passover6453 to the LORD3068 your God,430 of the flock6629 and the herd,1241 in the place4725 which834 the LORD3068 shall choose977 to place7931 his name8034 there.8033
3 You shall eat398 no3808 leavened2557 bread with it; seven7651 days3117 shall you eat398 unleavened4682 bread therewith,5921 even the bread3899 of affliction;6040 for you came3318 forth3318 out of the land776 of Egypt4714 in haste:2649 that you may remember2142 the day3117 when you came3318 forth3318 out of the land776 of Egypt4714 all3605 the days3117 of your life.2416
4 And there shall be no3808 leavened7603 bread seen7200 with you in all3605 your coast1366 seven7651 days;3117 neither3808 shall there any thing of the flesh,1320 which834 you sacrificed2076 the first7223 day3117 at even,6153 remain3885 all3885 night until the morning.1242
5 You may3201 not sacrifice2076 the passover6453 within any259 of your gates,8179 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you:
6 But at413 the place4725 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 shall choose977 to place7931 his name8034 in, there8033 you shall sacrifice2076 the passover6453 at even,6153 at the going935 down935 of the sun,8121 at the season4150 that you came3318 forth3318 out of Egypt.4714
7 And you shall roast1310 and eat398 it in the place4725 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 shall choose:977 and you shall turn6437 in the morning,1242 and go1980 to your tents.168
8 Six8337 days3117 you shall eat398 unleavened4682 bread: and on the seventh7637 day3117 shall be a solemn6116 assembly6116 to the LORD3068 your God:430 you shall do6213 no3808 work4399 therein.
9 Seven7651 weeks7620 shall you number5608 to you: begin2490 to number5608 the seven7651 weeks7620 from such time as you begin2490 to put the sickle2770 to the corn.7054
10 And you shall keep6213 the feast2282 of weeks7620 to the LORD3068 your God430 with a tribute4530 of a freewill5071 offering of your hand,3027 which834 you shall give5414 to the LORD3068 your God,430 according as the LORD your God has blessed1288 you:
11 And you shall rejoice8055 before6440 the LORD3068 your God,430 you, and your son,1121 and your daughter,1323 and your manservant,5650 and your maidservant,519 and the Levite3881 that is within your gates,8179 and the stranger,1616 and the fatherless,3490 and the widow,490 that are among7130 you, in the place4725 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 has chosen977 to place7931 his name8034 there.8033
12 And you shall remember2142 that you were1961 a slave5650 in Egypt:4714 and you shall observe8104 and do6213 these428 statutes.2706
13 You shall observe6213 the feast2282 of tabernacles5521 seven7651 days,3117 after that you have gathered622 in your corn1637 and your wine:3342
14 And you shall rejoice8055 in your feast,2282 you, and your son,1121 and your daughter,1323 and your manservant,5650 and your maidservant,519 and the Levite,3881 the stranger,1616 and the fatherless,3490 and the widow,490 that are within your gates.8179
15 Seven7651 days3117 shall you keep2287 a solemn2287 feast2287 to the LORD3068 your God430 in the place4725 which834 the LORD3068 shall choose:977 because3588 the LORD3068 your God430 shall bless1288 you in all3605 your increase,8393 and in all3605 the works4639 of your hands,3027 therefore you shall surely389 rejoice.8055
16 Three7969 times6471 in a year8141 shall all3605 your males2138 appear7200 before854 6440 the LORD3068 your God430 in the place4725 which834 he shall choose;977 in the feast2282 of unleavened4682 bread, and in the feast2282 of weeks,7620 and in the feast2282 of tabernacles:5521 and they shall not appear7200 before854 6440 the LORD3068 empty:7387
17 Every man376 shall give as he is able,4979 3027 according to the blessing1293 of the LORD3068 your God430 which834 he has given5414 you.
18 Judges8199 and officers7860 shall you make5414 you in all3605 your gates,8179 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you, throughout your tribes:7626 and they shall judge8199 the people5971 with just6664 judgment.4941
19 You shall not wrest5186 judgment;4941 you shall not respect5234 persons,6440 neither3808 take3947 a gift:7810 for a gift7810 does blind5786 the eyes5869 of the wise,2450 and pervert5557 the words1697 of the righteous.6662
20 That which is altogether just6664 shall you follow,7291 that you may live,2421 and inherit3423 the land776 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you.
21 You shall not plant5193 you a grove842 of any3605 trees6086 near681 to the altar4196 of the LORD3068 your God,430 which834 you shall make6213 you.
22 Neither3808 shall you set6965 you up any image;4676 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 hates.8130
1 You shall not sacrifice2076 to the LORD3068 your God430 any bullock,7794 or sheep,7716 wherein834 is blemish,3971 or any3605 bad reputation:1697 7451 for that is an abomination8441 to the LORD3068 your God.430
2 If3588 there be found4672 among7130 you, within any259 of your gates8179 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you, man376 or woman,802 that has worked6213 wickedness7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068 your God,430 in transgressing5674 his covenant,1285
3 And has gone3212 and served5647 other312 gods,430 and worshipped7812 them, either the sun,8121 or176 moon,3394 or176 any3605 of the host6635 of heaven,8064 which834 I have not commanded;6680
4 And it be told5046 you, and you have heard8085 of it, and inquired1875 diligently,3190 and, behold,2009 it be true,571 and the thing1697 certain,3559 that such2063 abomination8441 is worked6213 in Israel:3478
5 Then shall you bring3318 forth3318 that man376 or176 that woman,802 which834 have committed6213 that wicked7451 thing,1697 to your gates,8179 even that man376 or176 that woman,802 and shall stone5619 them with stones,68 till they die.4191
6 At5921 the mouth6310 of two8147 witnesses,5707 or176 three7969 witnesses,5707 shall he that is worthy of death4191 be put to death;4191 but at5921 the mouth6310 of one259 witness5707 he shall not be put to death.4191
7 The hands3027 of the witnesses5707 shall be first7223 on him to put him to death,4191 and afterward314 the hands3027 of all3605 the people.5971 So you shall put1197 the evil7451 away1197 from among7130 you.
8 If3588 there arise a matter1697 too hard6381 for you in judgment,4941 between996 blood1818 and blood,1818 between996 plea1779 and plea,1779 and between996 stroke5061 and stroke,5061 being matters1697 of controversy7379 within your gates:8179 then shall you arise,6965 and get5927 you up into413 the place4725 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 shall choose;977
9 And you shall come935 to the priests3548 the Levites,3881 and to the judge8199 that shall be in those1992 days,3117 and inquire;1875 and they shall show5046 you the sentence1697 of judgment:4941
10 And you shall do6213 according5921 6310 to the sentence,1697 which834 they of that place4725 which834 the LORD3068 shall choose977 shall show5046 you; and you shall observe8104 to do6213 according to all3605 that they inform3384 you:
11 According5921 to the sentence6310 of the law8451 which834 they shall teach3384 you, and according5921 to the judgment4941 which834 they shall tell559 you, you shall do:6213 you shall not decline5493 from the sentence1697 which834 they shall show5046 you, to the right3225 hand,3225 nor to the left.8040
12 And the man376 that will do6213 presumptuously,2087 and will not listen8085 to the priest3548 that stands5975 to minister8334 there8033 before854 the LORD3068 your God,430 or176 to the judge,8199 even that man376 shall die:4191 and you shall put1197 away1197 the evil7451 from Israel.3478
13 And all3605 the people5971 shall hear,8085 and fear,3372 and do no3808 more5750 presumptuously.2102
14 When3588 you are come935 to the land776 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you, and shall possess3423 it, and shall dwell3427 therein, and shall say,559 I will set7760 a king4428 over5921 me, like as all3605 the nations1471 that are about5439 me;
15 You shall in any wise set7760 him king4428 over5921 you, whom834 the LORD3068 your God430 shall choose:977 one from among7130 your brothers251 shall you set7760 king4428 over5921 you: you may3021 not set5414 a stranger376 5237 over5921 you, which834 is not your brother.251
16 But he shall not multiply7235 horses5483 to himself, nor3808 cause the people5971 to return7725 to Egypt,4714 to the end4616 that he should multiply7235 horses:5483 for as much as the LORD3068 has said559 to you, You shall from now on3254 return7725 no3808 more5750 that way.1870
17 Neither3808 shall he multiply7235 wives802 to himself, that his heart3824 turn5493 not away: neither3808 shall he greatly3966 multiply7235 to himself silver3701 and gold.2091
18 And it shall be, when he sits3427 on the throne3678 of his kingdom,4467 that he shall write3789 him a copy4932 of this2063 law8451 in a book5612 out of that which is before6440 the priests3548 the Levites:3881
19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read7121 therein all3605 the days3117 of his life:2416 that he may learn3925 to fear3372 the LORD3068 his God,430 to keep8104 all3605 the words1697 of this2063 law8451 and these428 statutes,2706 to do6213 them:
20 That his heart3824 be not lifted7311 up above his brothers,251 and that he turn5493 not aside from the commandment,4687 to the right3225 hand,3225 or to the left:8040 to the end4616 that he may prolong748 his days3117 in his kingdom,4467 he, and his children,1121 in the middle7130 of Israel.3478
1 The priests3548 the Levites,3881 and all3605 the tribe7626 of Levi,3878 shall have no3808 part2506 nor inheritance5159 with Israel:3478 they shall eat398 the offerings of the LORD3068 made by fire, and his inheritance.5159
2 Therefore shall they have no3808 inheritance5159 among7130 their brothers:251 the LORD3068 is their inheritance,5159 as he has said1696 to them.
3 And this2088 shall be the priest's3548 due4941 from the people,5971 from them that offer2076 a sacrifice,2077 whether518 it be ox7794 or sheep;7716 and they shall give5414 to the priest3548 the shoulder,2220 and the two cheeks,3895 and the maw.6896
4 The first fruit7225 also of your corn,1715 of your wine,8492 and of your oil,3323 and the first7225 of the fleece1488 of your sheep,6629 shall you give5414 him.
5 For the LORD3068 your God430 has chosen977 him out of all3605 your tribes,7626 to stand5975 to minister8334 in the name8034 of the LORD,3068 him and his sons1121 for ever.3605 3117
6 And if3588 a Levite3881 come935 from any259 of your gates8179 out of all3605 Israel,3478 where834 8033 he sojourned,1481 and come935 with all3605 the desire183 of his mind5315 to the place4725 which834 the LORD3068 shall choose;977
7 Then he shall minister8334 in the name8034 of the LORD3068 his God,430 as all3605 his brothers251 the Levites3881 do, which stand5975 there8033 before6440 the LORD.3068
8 They shall have like portions2506 to eat,398 beside905 that which comes of the sale4465 of his patrimony.5921 1
9 When3588 you are come935 into413 the land776 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you, you shall not learn3925 to do6213 after the abominations8441 of those1992 nations.1471
10 There shall not be found4672 among you any one that makes his son1121 or his daughter1323 to pass5674 through the fire,784 or that uses divination,7081 or an observer6049 of times, or an enchanter,5172 or a witch.3784
11 Or a charmer,2266 2267 or a consulter7592 with familiar spirits,178 or a wizard,3049 or a necromancer.1875 4191
12 For all3605 that do6213 these428 things are an abomination8441 to the LORD:3068 and because1558 of these428 abominations8441 the LORD3068 your God430 does drive3423 them out from before6440 you.
13 You shall be perfect8549 with the LORD3068 your God.430
14 For these428 nations,1471 which834 you shall possess,3423 listened8085 to observers6049 of times, and to diviners:7080 but as for you, the LORD3068 your God430 has not suffered5414 you so3651 to do.
15 The LORD3068 your God430 will raise6965 up to you a Prophet5030 from the middle7130 of you, of your brothers,251 like3644 to me; to him you shall listen;8085
16 According to all3605 that you desired7592 of the LORD3068 your God430 in Horeb2722 in the day3117 of the assembly,6951 saying,559 Let me not hear8085 again3254 the voice6963 of the LORD3068 my God,430 neither3808 let me see7200 this2063 great1419 fire784 any more,5750 that I die4191 not.
17 And the LORD3068 said559 to me, They have well3190 spoken that which834 they have spoken.1696
18 I will raise6965 them up a Prophet5030 from among7130 their brothers,251 like3644 to you, and will put5414 my words1697 in his mouth;6310 and he shall speak1696 to them all3605 that I shall command6680 him.
19 And it shall come1961 to pass, that whoever376 834 will not listen8085 to my words1697 which834 he shall speak1696 in my name,8034 I will require1875 it of him.
20 But the prophet,5030 which834 shall presume2102 to speak1696 a word1697 in my name,8034 which I have not commanded6680 him to speak,1696 or that shall speak1696 in the name8034 of other312 gods,430 even that prophet5030 shall die.4191
21 And if3588 you say559 in your heart,3824 How349 shall we know3045 the word1697 which834 the LORD3068 has not spoken?1696
22 When834 a prophet5030 speaks1696 in the name8034 of the LORD,3068 if the thing1697 follow1961 not, nor3808 come935 to pass, that is the thing1697 which834 the LORD3068 has not spoken,1696 but the prophet5030 has spoken1696 it presumptuously:2087 you shall not be afraid1481 of him.
1 When3588 the LORD3068 your God430 has cut3772 off the nations,1471 whose834 land776 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you, and you succeed3423 them, and dwell3427 in their cities,5892 and in their houses;1004
2 You shall separate914 three7969 cities5892 for you in the middle8432 of your land,776 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you to possess3423 it.
3 You shall prepare3559 you a way,1870 and divide the coasts1366 of your land,776 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives you to inherit,5157 into three8027 parts, that every3605 slayer7523 may flee5127 thither.8033
4 And this2088 is the case1697 of the slayer,7523 which834 shall flee5127 thither,8033 that he may live:2425 Whoever834 kills5221 his neighbor7453 ignorantly,1097 1847 whom he hated8130 not in time8543 8032 past;8032
5 As when834 a man goes935 into the wood3293 with his neighbor7453 to hew2404 wood,6086 and his hand3027 fetches5080 a stroke with the ax1631 to cut3772 down the tree,6086 and the head1270 slips5394 from the helve,6086 and lights4672 on his neighbor,7453 that he die;4191 he shall flee5127 to one259 of those428 cities,5892 and live:2425
6 Lest6435 the avenger1350 of the blood1818 pursue7291 the slayer,7523 while3588 his heart3824 is hot,3179 and overtake5381 him, because3588 the way1870 is long,7235 and slay5221 him; whereas he was not worthy of death,4194 inasmuch3588 as he hated8130 him not in time8543 8032 past.8032
7 Why5921 3651 I command6680 you, saying,559 You shall separate914 three7969 cities5892 for you.
8 And if518 the LORD3068 your God430 enlarge7337 your coast,1366 as he has sworn7650 to your fathers,1 and give5414 you all3605 the land776 which834 he promised1696 to give5414 to your fathers;1
9 If3588 you shall keep8104 all3605 these2063 commandments4687 to do6213 them, which834 I command6680 you this day,3117 to love157 the LORD3068 your God,430 and to walk3212 ever3605 3117 in his ways;1870 then shall you add3254 three cities5892 more5750 for you, beside5921 these three:7969
10 That innocent5355 blood1818 be not shed8210 in your land,776 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you for an inheritance,5159 and so blood1818 be on you.
11 But if3588 any man376 hate8130 his neighbor,7453 and lie693 in wait693 for him, and rise6965 up against5921 him, and smite5221 him mortally5315 that he die,4191 and flees5127 into413 one259 of these411 cities:5892
12 Then the elders2205 of his city5892 shall send7971 and fetch3947 him there,8033 and deliver5414 him into the hand3027 of the avenger1350 of blood,1818 that he may die.4191
13 Your eye5869 shall not pity2347 him, but you shall put1197 away1197 the guilt of innocent5355 blood1818 from Israel,3478 that it may go well2895 with you.
14 You shall not remove5253 your neighbor's7453 landmark,1366 which834 they of old7223 time have set1379 in your inheritance,5159 which834 you shall inherit5157 in the land776 that the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you to possess3423 it.
15 One259 witness5707 shall not rise6965 up against a man376 for any3605 iniquity,5771 or for any3605 sin,2403 in any3605 sin2399 that he sins:2398 at5921 the mouth6310 of two8147 witnesses,5707 or at5921 the mouth6310 of three7969 witnesses,5707 shall the matter1697 be established.6965
16 If3588 a false2555 witness5707 rise6965 up against any man376 to testify6030 against him that which is wrong;5627
17 Then both8147 the men,582 between whom834 1992 the controversy7379 is, shall stand5975 before6440 the LORD,3068 before6440 the priests3548 and the judges,8199 which834 shall be in those1992 days;3117
18 And the judges8199 shall make diligent3190 inquisition:1875 and, behold,2009 if the witness5707 be a false8267 witness,5707 and has testified6030 falsely8267 against his brother;251
19 Then shall you do6213 to him, as he had thought2161 to have done6213 to his brother:251 so shall you put1197 the evil7451 away1197 from among7130 you.
20 And those which remain7604 shall hear,8085 and fear,3372 and shall from now on3254 commit6213 no3808 more5750 any1697 such evil7451 among7130 you.
21 And your eye5869 shall not pity;2347 but life5315 shall go for life,5315 eye5869 for eye,5869 tooth8127 for tooth,8127 hand3027 for hand,3027 foot7272 for foot.7272
1 When3588 you go3318 out to battle4421 against5921 your enemies,341 and see7200 horses,5483 and chariots,7393 and a people5971 more7227 than you, be not afraid3372 of them: for the LORD3068 your God430 is with you, which834 brought5927 you up out of the land776 of Egypt.4714
2 And it shall be, when you are come7126 near7126 to the battle,4421 that the priest3548 shall approach5066 and speak1696 to the people,5971
3 And shall say559 to them, Hear,8085 O Israel,3478 you approach7126 this day3117 to battle4421 against5921 your enemies:341 let not your hearts3824 faint,7401 fear3372 not, and do not tremble,2648 neither408 be you terrified6206 because6440 of them;
4 For the LORD3068 your God430 is he that goes1980 with you, to fight3898 for you against5973 your enemies,341 to save3467 you.
5 And the officers7860 shall speak1696 to the people,5971 saying,559 What4310 man376 is there that has built1129 a new2319 house,1004 and has not dedicated2596 it? let him go3212 and return7725 to his house,1004 lest6435 he die4191 in the battle,4421 and another312 man376 dedicate2596 it.
6 And what4310 man376 is he that has planted5193 a vineyard,3754 and has not yet eaten2490 of it? let him also go3212 and return7725 to his house,1004 lest6435 he die4191 in the battle,4421 and another312 man376 eat2490 of it.
7 And what4310 man376 is there that has betrothed781 a wife,802 and has not taken3947 her? let him go3212 and return7725 to his house,1004 lest6435 he die4191 in the battle,4421 and another312 man376 take3947 her.
8 And the officers7860 shall speak1696 further3254 to the people,5971 and they shall say,559 What4310 man376 is there that is fearful3373 and fainthearted?7390 let him go3212 and return7725 to his house,1004 lest6435 his brethren's251 heart3824 faint4549 as well as his heart.3824
9 And it shall be, when the officers7860 have made an end3615 of speaking1696 to the people 5971that they shall make captains8269 of the armies6635 to lead7218 the people.5971
10 When3588 you come7126 near7126 to a city5892 to fight3898 against5921 it, then proclaim7121 peace7965 to it.
11 And it shall be, if518 it make you answer6030 of peace,7965 and open6605 to you, then it shall be, that all3605 the people5971 that is found4672 therein shall be tributaries4522 to you, and they shall serve5647 you.
12 And if518 it will make no3808 peace7999 with you, but will make war4421 against5973 you, then you shall besiege6696 it:
13 And when the LORD3068 your God430 has delivered5414 it into your hands,3027 you shall smite5221 every3605 male2138 thereof with the edge6310 of the sword:2719
14 But the women,802 and the little2945 ones, and the cattle,929 and all3605 that is in the city,5892 even all3605 the spoil7998 thereof, shall you take962 to yourself; and you shall eat398 the spoil7998 of your enemies,341 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 has given5414 you.
15 Thus3651 shall you do6213 to all3605 the cities5892 which are very3966 far7350 off from you, which834 are not of the cities5892 of these428 2007 nations.1471
16 But of the cities5892 of these428 people,5971 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 does give5414 you for an inheritance,5159 you shall save2421 alive2421 nothing3808 3605 that breathes:5397
17 But you shall utterly destroy2763 them; namely, the Hittites,2850 and the Amorites,567 the Canaanites,3669 and the Perizzites,6522 the Hivites,2340 and the Jebusites;2983 as the LORD3068 your God430 has commanded6680 you:
18 That they teach3925 you not to do6213 after all3605 their abominations,8441 which834 they have done to their gods;430 so should you sin2398 against the LORD3068 your God.430
19 When3588 you shall besiege6696 a city5892 a long7227 time,3117 in making war3898 against5921 it to take8610 it, you shall not destroy7843 the trees6086 thereof by forcing5080 an ax1631 against5921 them: for you may eat398 of them, and you shall not cut3772 them down (for the tree6086 of the field7704 is man's120 life) to employ935 6440 them in the siege:4692
20 Only7535 the trees6086 which834 you know3045 that they be not trees6086 for meat,3978 you shall destroy7843 and cut3772 them down; and you shall build1129 bulwarks4692 against5921 the city5892 that makes6213 war4421 with you, until5704 it be subdued.3381
1 If3588 one be found4672 slain2491 in the land127 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you to possess3423 it, lying5307 in the field,7704 and it be not known3045 who4310 has slain2491 him:
2 Then your elders2205 and your judges8199 shall come3318 forth,3318 and they shall measure4058 to the cities5892 which834 are round5439 about him that is slain:2491
3 And it shall be, that the city5892 which is next7138 to the slain2491 man,376 even the elders2205 of that city5892 shall take3947 an heifer,5697 which834 has not been worked5647 with, and which834 has not drawn4900 in the yoke;5923
4 And the elders2205 of that city5892 shall bring down3381 the heifer5697 to a rough386 valley,5158 which834 is neither3808 eared5647 nor3808 sown,2232 and shall strike off the heifer's5697 neck6203 there8033 in the valley:5158
5 And the priests3548 the sons1121 of Levi3878 shall come5066 near;5066 for them the LORD3068 your God430 has chosen977 to minister8334 to him, and to bless1288 in the name8034 of the LORD;3068 and by their word6310 shall every3605 controversy7379 and every3605 stroke5061 be tried:
6 And all3605 the elders2205 of that city,5892 that are next7138 to the slain2491 man, shall wash7364 their hands3027 over5921 the heifer5697 that is beheaded6202 in the valley:5158
7 And they shall answer6030 and say,559 Our hands3027 have not shed8210 this2088 blood,1818 neither3808 have our eyes5869 seen7200 it.
8 Be merciful,3722 O LORD,3068 to your people5971 Israel,3478 whom834 you have redeemed,6299 and lay5414 not innocent5355 blood1818 to your people5971 of Israel's3478 charge.7130 And the blood1818 shall be forgiven3722 them.
9 So shall you put1197 away1197 the guilt of innocent5355 blood1818 from among7130 you, when3588 you shall do6213 that which is right3477 in the sight5869 of the LORD.3068
10 When3588 you go3318 forth3318 to war4421 against5921 your enemies,341 and the LORD3068 your God430 has delivered5414 them into your hands,3027 and you have taken them captive,7617
11 And see7200 among the captives7633 a beautiful3303 8389 woman,802 and have a desire2836 to her, that you would have her to your wife;802
12 Then you shall bring935 her home8432 to your house,1004 and she shall shave1548 her head,7218 and pare6213 her nails;6856
13 And she shall put5493 the raiment8071 of her captivity7633 from off5921 her, and shall remain3427 in your house,1004 and mourn1058 her father1 and her mother517 a full3117 month:3391 and after310 that you shall go935 in to her, and be her husband,1167 and she shall be your wife.802
14 And it shall be, if518 you have no3808 delight2654 in her, then you shall let her go7971 where she will;5315 but you shall not sell4376 her at all3605 for money,3701 you shall not make6014 merchandise6014 of her, because8478 834 you have humbled6031 her.
15 If3588 a man376 have1961 two8147 wives,802 one259 beloved,157 and another259 hated,8130 and they have born3205 him children,1121 both the beloved157 and the hated;8130 and if the firstborn1060 son1121 be hers that was hated:8146
16 Then it shall be, when3117 he makes his sons1121 to inherit5157 that which834 he has,1961 that he may3201 not make the son1121 of the beloved157 firstborn1069 before6440 the son1121 of the hated,8130 which is indeed the firstborn:1060
17 But he shall acknowledge5234 the son1121 of the hated8130 for the firstborn,1060 by giving5414 him a double8147 portion6310 of all3605 that he has:4672 for he is the beginning7225 of his strength;202 the right4941 of the firstborn1062 is his.
18 If3588 a man376 have1961 a stubborn5637 and rebellious4784 son,1121 which will not obey8085 the voice6963 of his father,1 or the voice6963 of his mother,517 and that, when they have chastened3256 him, will not listen8085 to them:
19 Then shall his father1 and his mother517 lay hold8610 on him, and bring3318 him out to the elders2205 of his city,5892 and to the gate8179 of his place;4725
20 And they shall say559 to the elders2205 of his city,5892 This2088 our son1121 is stubborn5637 and rebellious,4784 he will not obey8085 our voice;6963 he is a glutton,2151 and a drunkard.5435
21 And all3605 the men582 of his city5892 shall stone7275 him with stones,68 that he die:4191 so shall you put1197 evil7451 away1197 from among7130 you; and all3605 Israel3478 shall hear,8085 and fear.3372
22 And if3588 a man376 have committed1961 a sin2399 worthy of death,4194 and he be to be put to death,4191 and you hang8518 him on5921 a tree:6086
23 His body5038 shall not remain3885 all3885 night on the tree,6086 but you shall in any wise bury6912 him that day;3117 (for he that is hanged8518 is accursed7045 of God;430) that your land127 be not defiled,2930 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you for an inheritance.5159
1 You shall not see7200 your brother's251 ox7794 or176 his sheep7716 go astray,5080 and hide5956 yourself from them: you shall in any case7725 bring7725 them again7725 to your brother.251
2 And if518 your brother251 be not near7126 to you, or if you know3045 him not, then you shall bring622 it to your own house,1004 and it shall be with you until5704 your brother251 seek1875 after it, and you shall restore7725 it to him again.7725
3 In like3651 manner3651 shall you do6213 with his ass;2543 and so3651 shall you do6213 with his raiment;8071 and with all3605 lost9 thing of your brother's,251 which834 he has lost,6 and you have found,4672 shall you do6213 likewise:3651 you may3201 not hide5956 yourself.
4 You shall not see7200 your brother's251 ass2543 or176 his ox7794 fall5307 down by the way,1870 and hide5956 yourself from them: you shall surely help6965 him to lift6965 them up again.
5 The woman802 shall not wear1961 5921 that which pertains3627 to a man,1397 neither3808 shall a man1397 put3847 on a woman's802 garment:8071 for all3605 that do6213 so428 are abomination8441 to the LORD3068 your God.430
6 If3588 a bird's6833 nest7064 chance7122 to be before6440 you in the way1870 in any3605 tree,6086 or176 on5921 the ground,776 whether they be young667 ones, or176 eggs,1000 and the dam517 sitting7257 on the young,667 or176 on the eggs,1000 you shall not take3947 the dam517 with the young:1121
7 But you shall in any wise let the dam517 go,7971 and take3947 the young1121 to you; that it may be well3190 with you, and that you may prolong748 your days.3117
8 When3588 you build1129 a new2319 house,1004 then you shall make6213 a battlement4624 for your roof,1406 that you bring7760 not blood1818 on your house,1004 if3588 any man fall5307 from there.
9 You shall not sow2232 your vineyard3754 with divers3610 seeds: lest6435 the fruit4395 of your seed2233 which834 you have sown,2232 and the fruit8393 of your vineyard,3754 be defiled.6942
10 You shall not plow2790 with an ox7794 and an ass2543 together.3162
11 You shall not wear3847 a garment8162 of divers8162 sorts, as of woolen6785 and linen6593 together.3162
12 You shall make6213 you fringes1434 on the four702 quarters3671 of your clothing,3682 with which834 you cover3680 yourself.
13 If3588 any man376 take3947 a wife,802 and go935 in to her, and hate8130 her,
14 And give7760 occasions5949 of speech1697 against her, and bring3318 up an evil7451 name8034 on her, and say,559 I took3947 this2063 woman,802 and when I came7126 to her, I found4672 her not a maid:1331
15 Then shall the father1 of the damsel,5291 and her mother,517 take3947 and bring3318 forth3318 the tokens of the damsel's5291 virginity1331 to the elders2205 of the city5892 in the gate:8179
16 And the damsel's5291 father1 shall say559 to the elders,2205 I gave5414 my daughter1323 to this2088 man376 to wife,802 and he hates8130 her;
17 And, see,2009 he has given7760 occasions5949 of speech1697 against her, saying,559 I found4672 not your daughter1323 a maid;1331 and yet these428 are the tokens of my daughter's1323 virginity.1331 And they shall spread6566 the cloth8071 before6440 the elders2205 of the city.5892
18 And the elders2205 of that city5892 shall take3947 that man376 and chastise3256 him;
19 And they shall amerce6064 him in an hundred3967 shekels of silver,3701 and give5414 them to the father1 of the damsel,5291 because3588 he has brought3318 up an evil7451 name8034 on a virgin1330 of Israel:3478 and she shall be his wife;802 he may3201 not put7971 her away all3605 his days.3117
20 But if518 this2088 thing1697 be true,571 and the tokens of virginity1331 be not found4672 for the damsel:5291
21 Then they shall bring3318 out the damsel5291 to the door6607 of her father's1 house,1004 and the men582 of her city5892 shall stone5619 her with stones68 that she die:4191 because3588 she has worked6213 folly5039 in Israel,3478 to play the whore2181 in her father's1 house:1004 so shall you put1197 evil7451 away1197 from among7130 you.
22 If3588 a man376 be found4672 lying7901 with a woman802 married1166 to an husband,1167 then they shall both1571 8147 of them die,4191 both the man376 that lay7901 with the woman,802 and the woman:802 so shall you put1197 away1197 evil7451 from Israel.3478
23 If3588 a damsel5291 that is a virgin1330 be betrothed781 to an husband,376 and a man376 find4672 her in the city,5892 and lie7901 with her;
24 Then you shall bring3318 them both8147 out to the gate8179 of that city,5892 and you shall stone5619 them with stones68 that they die;4191 the damsel,5291 because5921 she cried6817 not, being in the city;5892 and the man,376 because5921 he has humbled6031 his neighbor's7453 wife:802 so you shall put1197 away1197 evil7451 from among7130 you.
25 But if518 a man376 find4672 a betrothed781 damsel5291 in the field,7704 and the man376 force2388 her, and lie7901 with her: then the man376 only905 that lay7901 with her shall die.4191
26 But to the damsel5291 you shall do nothing;3808 1697 there is in the damsel5291 no369 sin2399 worthy of death:4194 for as when a man376 rises6965 against5921 his neighbor,7453 and slays7523 5315 him, even so3651 is this2088 matter:1697
27 For he found4672 her in the field,7704 and the betrothed781 damsel5291 cried,6817 and there was none369 to save3467 her.
28 If3588 a man376 find4672 a damsel5291 that is a virgin,1330 which834 is not betrothed,781 and lay hold8610 on her, and lie7901 with her, and they be found;4672
29 Then the man376 that lay7901 with her shall give5414 to the damsel's5291 father1 fifty2572 shekels of silver,3701 and she shall be his wife;802 because8478 834 he has humbled6031 her, he may3201 not put7971 her away all3605 his days.3117
30 A man376 shall not take3947 his father's1 wife,802 nor3808 discover1540 his father's1 skirt.3671
1 He that is wounded1795 in the stones, or has his privy8212 member cut3772 off, shall not enter935 into the congregation6951 of the LORD.3068
2 A bastard4464 shall not enter935 into the congregation6951 of the LORD;3068 even1571 to his tenth6224 generation1755 shall he not enter935 into the congregation6951 of the LORD.3068
3 An Ammonite5984 or Moabite4125 shall not enter935 into the congregation6951 of the LORD;3068 even1571 to their tenth6224 generation1755 shall they not enter935 into the congregation6951 of the LORD3068 for ever:5769
4 Because5921 they met6923 you not with bread3899 and with water4325 in the way,1870 when you came3318 forth3318 out of Egypt;4714 and because834 they hired7936 against5921 you Balaam1109 the son1121 of Beor1160 of Pethor6604 of Mesopotamia,763 to curse7043 you.
5 Nevertheless the LORD3068 your God430 would14 not listen8085 to Balaam;1109 but the LORD3068 your God430 turned2015 the curse7045 into a blessing1293 to you, because3588 the LORD3068 your God430 loved157 you.
6 You shall not seek1875 their peace7965 nor their prosperity2896 all3605 your days3117 for ever.5769
7 You shall not abhor8581 an Edomite;130 for he is your brother:251 you shall not abhor8581 an Egyptian;4713 because3588 you were1961 a stranger1616 in his land.776
8 The children1121 that are begotten3205 of them shall enter935 into the congregation6951 of the LORD3068 in their third7992 generation.1755
9 When3588 the host4264 goes3318 forth3318 against5921 your enemies,341 then keep8104 you from every3605 wicked7451 thing.1697
10 If3588 there be among you any man,376 that is not clean2889 by reason of uncleanness7137 that chances4745 him by night,3915 then shall he go3318 abroad2351 out of the camp,4264 he shall not come935 within8432 the camp:4264
11 But it shall be, when evening6153 comes6437 on, he shall wash7364 himself with water:4325 and when the sun8121 is down,935 he shall come935 into8432 the camp4264 again.
12 You shall have1961 a place4725 also without2351 the camp,4264 where8033 you shall go3318 forth3318 abroad:2351
13 And you shall have1961 a paddle3489 on your weapon;240 and it shall be, when you will ease3427 yourself abroad,2351 you shall dig2658 therewith, and shall turn7725 back7725 and cover3680 that which comes6627 from you:
14 For the LORD3068 your God430 walks1980 in the middle7130 of your camp,4264 to deliver5337 you, and to give5414 up your enemies341 before6440 you; therefore shall your camp4264 be holy:6918 that he see7200 no3808 unclean6172 thing1697 in you, and turn7725 away from you.
15 You shall not deliver5462 to his master113 the servant5650 which834 is escaped5337 from his master113 to you:
16 He shall dwell3427 with you, even among7130 you, in that place4725 which834 he shall choose977 in one259 of your gates,8179 where it likes2896 him best:2896 you shall not oppress3238 him.
17 There shall be no3808 whore6948 of the daughters1323 of Israel,3478 nor3808 a sodomite6945 of the sons1121 of Israel.3478
18 You shall not bring935 the hire868 of a whore,2181 or the price4242 of a dog,3611 into the house1004 of the LORD3068 your God430 for any3605 vow:5088 for even1571 both these are abomination8441 to the LORD3068 your God.430
19 You shall not lend5391 on usury5391 to your brother;251 usury5392 of money,3701 usury5392 of victuals,400 usury5392 of any3605 thing1697 that is lent5391 on usury:5391
20 To a stranger5237 you may lend5391 on usury;5391 but to your brother251 you shall not lend5391 on usury:5391 that the LORD3068 your God430 may bless1288 you in all3605 that you set4916 your hand3027 to in the land776 where834 8033 you go935 to possess3423 it.
21 When3588 you shall vow5087 a vow5088 to the LORD3068 your God,430 you shall not slack309 to pay7999 it: for the LORD3068 your God430 will surely require1875 it of you; and it would be sin2399 in you.
22 But if3588 you shall forbear2308 to vow,5088 it shall be no3808 sin2399 in you.
23 That which834 is gone4161 out of your lips8193 you shall keep8104 and perform;6213 even a freewill5071 offering, according as you have vowed5087 to the LORD3068 your God,430 which you have promised1696 with your mouth.6310
24 When3588 you come935 into your neighbor's7453 vineyard,3754 then you may eat398 grapes6025 your fill7648 at your own pleasure;5315 but you shall not put5414 any in your vessel.3627
25 When3588 you come935 into the standing7054 corn7054 of your neighbor,7453 then you may pluck6998 the ears4425 with your hand;3027 but you shall not move5130 a sickle2770 to your neighbor's7453 standing7054 corn.7054
1 When3588 a man376 has taken3947 a wife,802 and married1166 her, and it come1961 to pass that she find4672 no3808 favor2580 in his eyes,5869 because3588 he has found4672 some1697 uncleanness6172 in her: then let him write3789 her a bill5612 of divorce,3748 and give5414 it in her hand,3027 and send7971 her out of his house.1004
2 And when she is departed3318 out of his house,1004 she may go1980 and be another312 man's376 wife.
3 And if the latter314 husband376 hate8130 her, and write3789 her a bill5612 of divorce,3748 and gives5414 it in her hand,3027 and sends7971 her out of his house;1004 or176 if3588 the latter314 husband376 die,4191 which834 took3947 her to be his wife;802
4 Her former7223 husband,1167 which834 sent7971 her away, may3201 not take3947 her again7725 to be his wife,802 after310 that she is defiled;2930 for that is abomination8441 before6440 the LORD:3068 and you shall not cause the land776 to sin,2398 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you for an inheritance.5159
5 When3588 a man376 has taken3947 a new2319 wife,802 he shall not go3318 out to war,6635 neither3808 shall he be charged5674 5921 with any3605 business:1697 but he shall be free5355 at home1004 one259 year,8141 and shall cheer8055 up his wife802 which834 he has taken.3947
6 No3808 man shall take2254 the nether7347 or the upper7393 millstone7347 to pledge:2254 for he takes2254 a man's life5315 to pledge.2254
7 If3588 a man376 be found4672 stealing1589 any5315 of his brothers251 of the children1121 of Israel,3478 and makes merchandise6014 of him, or sells4376 him; then that thief1590 shall die;4191 and you shall put1197 evil7451 away1197 from among7130 you.
8 Take heed8104 in the plague5061 of leprosy,6883 that you observe8104 diligently,3966 and do6213 according to all3605 that the priests3548 the Levites3881 shall teach3384 you: as I commanded6680 them, so you shall observe8104 to do.6213
9 Remember2142 what853 834 the LORD3068 your God430 did6213 to Miriam4813 by the way,1870 after that you were come3318 forth3318 out of Egypt.4714
10 When3588 you do lend5383 your brother7453 any3972 thing,4859 you shall not go935 into413 his house1004 to fetch5670 his pledge.5667
11 You shall stand5975 abroad,2351 and the man376 to whom834 you do lend5383 shall bring3318 out the pledge5667 abroad2351 to you.
12 And if518 the man376 be poor,6041 you shall not sleep7901 with his pledge:5667
13 In any case7725 you shall deliver7725 him the pledge5667 again7725 when the sun8121 goes935 down,935 that he may sleep7901 in his own raiment,8008 and bless1288 you: and it shall be righteousness6666 to you before6440 the LORD3068 your God.430
14 You shall not oppress6231 an hired7916 servant7916 that is poor6041 and needy,34 whether he be of your brothers,251 or of your strangers1616 that are in your land776 within your gates:8179
15 At his day3117 you shall give5414 him his hire,7939 neither3808 shall the sun8121 go935 down935 on it; for he is poor,6041 and sets5375 his heart5315 on it: lest3808 he cry7121 against5921 you to the LORD,3068 and it be sin2399 to you.
16 The fathers1 shall not be put to death4191 for the children,1121 neither3808 shall the children1121 be put to death4191 for the fathers:1 every man376 shall be put to death4191 for his own sin.2399
17 You shall not pervert5186 the judgment4941 of the stranger,1616 nor of the fatherless;3490 nor3808 take2254 a widow's490 raiment899 to pledge:2254
18 But you shall remember2142 that you were1961 a slave5650 in Egypt,4714 and the LORD3068 your God430 redeemed6299 you there:8033 therefore5921 3651 I command6680 you to do6213 this2088 thing.1697
19 When3588 you cut7114 down your harvest7105 in your field,7704 and have forgot7911 a sheaf6016 in the field,7704 you shall not go7725 again7725 to fetch3947 it: it shall be for the stranger,1616 for the fatherless,3490 and for the widow:490 that the LORD3068 your God430 may bless1288 you in all3605 the work4639 of your hands.3027
20 When3588 you beat2251 your olive2132 tree, you shall not go over the boughs6288 again:310 it shall be for the stranger,1616 for the fatherless,3490 and for the widow.490
21 When3588 you gather1219 the grapes of your vineyard,3754 you shall not glean5953 it afterward:310 it shall be for the stranger,1616 for the fatherless,3490 and for the widow.490
22 And you shall remember2142 that you were1961 a slave5650 in the land776 of Egypt:4714 therefore5921 3651 I command6680 you to do6213 this2088 thing.1697
1 If3588 there be a controversy7379 between996 men,582 and they come5066 to judgment,4941 that the judges8199 may judge8199 them; then they shall justify6663 the righteous,6662 and condemn7561 the wicked.7563
2 And it shall be, if518 the wicked7563 man be worthy1121 to be beaten,5221 that the judge8199 shall cause him to lie5307 down, and to be beaten5221 before his face, according1767 to his fault,7564 by a certain number.4557
3 Forty705 stripes5221 he may give him, and not exceed:3254 lest,6435 if he should exceed,3254 and beat5221 him above5921 these with many7227 stripes,4347 then your brother251 should seem7034 vile7034 to you.
4 You shall not muzzle2629 the ox7794 when he treads1758 out the corn.
5 If3588 brothers251 dwell3427 together,3162 and one259 of them die,4191 and have no369 child,1121 the wife802 of the dead4191 shall not marry1961 376 without2351 to a stranger:376 2114 her husband's2993 brother2993 shall go935 in to her, and take3947 her to him to wife,802 and perform the duty of an husband's2992 brother2992 to her.
6 And it shall be, that the firstborn1060 which she bears3205 shall succeed6965 in the name8034 of his brother251 which is dead,4191 that his name8034 be not put4229 out of Israel.3478
7 And if518 the man376 like2654 not to take3947 his brother's2994 wife,2994 then let his brother's2994 wife2994 go5927 up to the gate8179 to the elders,2205 and say,559 My husband's2993 brother2993 refuses3985 to raise6965 up to his brother251 a name8034 in Israel,3478 he will14 not perform the duty of my husband's2992 brother.2992
8 Then the elders2205 of his city5892 shall call7121 him, and speak1696 to him: and if he stand5975 to it, and say,559 I like2654 not to take3947 her;
9 Then shall his brother's2994 wife2994 come5066 to him in the presence5869 of the elders,2205 and loose2502 his shoe5275 from off5921 his foot,7272 and spit3417 in his face,6440 and shall answer6030 and say,559 So3602 shall it be done6213 to that man376 that will not build1129 up his brother's251 house.1004
10 And his name8034 shall be called7121 in Israel,3478 The house1004 of him that has his shoe5275 loosed.2502
11 When3588 men582 strive5327 together3162 one259 with another,251 and the wife802 of the one259 draws near7126 for to deliver5337 her husband376 out of the hand3027 of him that smites5221 him, and puts7971 forth7971 her hand,3027 and takes2388 him by the secrets:4016
12 Then you shall cut7112 off her hand,3709 your eye5869 shall not pity2347 her.
13 You shall not have1961 in your bag3599 divers weights,68 a great1419 and a small.6996
14 You shall not have1961 in your house1004 divers measures,374 a great1419 and a small.6996
15 But you shall have1961 a perfect8003 and just6664 weight,68 a perfect8003 and just6664 measure374 shall you have:1961 that your days3117 may be lengthened748 in the land127 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you.
16 For all3605 that do6213 such428 things, and all3605 that do6213 unrighteously,5766 are an abomination8441 to the LORD3068 your God.430
17 Remember2142 what853 834 Amalek6002 did6213 to you by the way,1870 when you were come3318 forth3318 out of Egypt;4714
18 How834 he met7136 you by the way,1870 and smote the hindmost2179 of you, even all3605 that were feeble2826 behind310 you, when you were faint5889 and weary;3023 and he feared3373 not God.430
19 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD3068 your God430 has given you rest5117 from all3605 your enemies341 round5439 about, in the land776 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you for an inheritance5159 to possess3423 it, that you shall blot4229 out the remembrance2143 of Amalek6002 from under8478 heaven;8064 you shall not forget7911 it.
1 And it shall be, when3588 you are come935 in to the land776 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you for an inheritance,5159 and possess3423 it, and dwell3427 therein;
2 That you shall take3947 of the first7225 of all3605 the fruit6529 of the earth,127 which834 you shall bring935 of your land776 that the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you, and shall put7760 it in a basket,2935 and shall go1980 to the place4725 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 shall choose977 to place7931 his name8034 there.8033
3 And you shall go935 to the priest3548 that shall be in those1992 days,3117 and say559 to him, I profess5046 this day3117 to the LORD3068 your God,430 that I am come935 to the country776 which834 the LORD3068 swore7650 to our fathers1 for to give5414 us.
4 And the priest3548 shall take3947 the basket2935 out of your hand,3027 and set3240 it down before6440 the altar4196 of the LORD3068 your God.430
5 And you shall speak6030 and say559 before6440 the LORD3068 your God,430 A Syrian761 ready to perish6 was my father,1 and he went3381 down3381 into Egypt,4714 and sojourned1481 there8033 with a few,4592 and became1961 there8033 a nation,1471 great,1419 mighty,6099 and populous:7227
6 And the Egyptians4713 evil7489 entreated us, and afflicted6031 us, and laid5414 on us hard7186 bondage:5656
7 And when we cried6817 to the LORD3068 God430 of our fathers,1 the LORD3068 heard8085 our voice,6963 and looked7200 on our affliction,6040 and our labor,5999 and our oppression:3906
8 And the LORD3068 brought3318 us forth3318 out of Egypt4714 with a mighty2389 hand,3027 and with an outstretched5186 arm,2220 and with great1419 terribleness,4172 and with signs,226 and with wonders:4159
9 And he has brought935 us into413 this2088 place,4725 and has given5414 us this2063 land,776 even a land776 that flows2100 with milk2461 and honey.1706
10 And now,6258 behold,2009 I have brought935 the first fruits7225 of the land,127 which834 you, O LORD,3068 have given5414 me. And you shall set3240 it before6440 the LORD3068 your God,430 and worship7812 before6440 the LORD3068 your God:430
11 And you shall rejoice8056 in every3605 good2896 thing which834 the LORD3068 your God430 has given5414 to you, and to your house,1004 you, and the Levite,3881 and the stranger1616 that is among7130 you.
12 When3588 you have made an end3615 of tithing6237 all3605 the tithes4643 of your increase8393 the third7992 year,8141 which is the year8141 of tithing,4643 and have given5414 it to the Levite,3881 the stranger,1616 the fatherless,3490 and the widow,490 that they may eat398 within your gates,8179 and be filled;7646
13 Then you shall say559 before6440 the LORD3068 your God,430 I have brought1197 away1197 the hallowed6944 things out of my house,1004 and also1571 have given5414 them to the Levite,3881 and to the stranger,1616 to the fatherless,3490 and to the widow,490 according to all3605 your commandments4687 which834 you have commanded6680 me: I have not transgressed5674 your commandments,4687 neither3808 have I forgotten7911 them.
14 I have not eaten398 thereof in my mourning,205 neither3808 have I taken1197 away1197 ought thereof for any unclean2931 use, nor3808 given5414 ought thereof for the dead:4191 but I have listened8085 to the voice6963 of the LORD3068 my God,430 and have done6213 according to all3605 that you have commanded6680 me.
15 Look8259 down from your holy6944 habitation,4583 from heaven,8064 and bless1288 your people5971 Israel,3478 and the land127 which834 you have given5414 us, as you swore7650 to our fathers,1 a land776 that flows2100 with milk2461 and honey.1706
16 This2088 day3117 the LORD3068 your God430 has commanded6680 you to do6213 these428 statutes2706 and judgments:4941 you shall therefore keep8104 and do6213 them with all3605 your heart,3824 and with all3605 your soul.5315
17 You have avouched559 the LORD3068 this day3117 to be your God,430 and to walk3212 in his ways,1870 and to keep8104 his statutes,2706 and his commandments,4687 and his judgments,4941 and to listen8085 to his voice:6963
18 And the LORD3068 has avouched559 you this day3117 to be his peculiar5459 people,5971 as he has promised1696 you, and that you should keep8104 all3605 his commandments;4687
19 And to make6213 you high5945 above5921 all3605 nations1471 which834 he has made,6213 in praise,8416 and in name,8034 and in honor;8597 and that you may be an holy6918 people5971 to the LORD3068 your God,430 as he has spoken.1696
1 And Moses4872 with the elders2205 of Israel3478 commanded6680 the people,5971 saying,559 Keep8104 all3605 the commandments4687 which834 I command6680 you this day.3117
2 And it shall be on the day3117 when834 you shall pass5674 over5674 Jordan3383 to the land776 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you, that you shall set6965 you up great1419 stones,68 and plaster7874 them with plaster:7875
3 And you shall write3789 on them all3605 the words1697 of this2063 law,8451 when you are passed5674 over,5674 that you may go935 in to the land776 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you, a land776 that flows2100 with milk2461 and honey;1706 as the LORD3068 God430 of your fathers1 has promised1696 you.
4 Therefore it shall be when you be gone5674 over5674 Jordan,3383 that you shall set6965 up these428 stones,68 which834 I command6680 you this day,3117 in mount2022 Ebal,5858 and you shall plaster7874 them with plaster.7875
5 And there8033 shall you build1129 an altar4196 to the LORD3068 your God,430 an altar4196 of stones:68 you shall not lift5130 up any iron1270 tool on them.
6 You shall build1129 the altar4196 of the LORD3068 your God430 of whole8003 stones:68 and you shall offer5927 burnt5930 offerings thereon5921 to the LORD3068 your God:430
7 And you shall offer2076 peace8002 offerings, and shall eat398 there,8033 and rejoice8055 before6440 the LORD3068 your God.430
8 And you shall write3789 on the stones68 all3605 the words1697 of this2063 law8451 very3190 plainly.874
9 And Moses4872 and the priests3548 the Levites3881 spoke1696 to all3605 Israel,3478 saying,559 Take5535 heed,5535 and listen,8085 O Israel;3478 this2088 day3117 you are become1961 the people5971 of the LORD3068 your God.430
10 You shall therefore obey8085 the voice6963 of the LORD3068 your God,430 and do6213 his commandments4687 and his statutes,2706 which834 I command6680 you this day.3117
11 And Moses4872 charged6680 the people5971 the same1931 day,3117 saying,559
12 These428 shall stand5975 on mount2022 Gerizim1630 to bless1288 the people,5971 when you are come5674 over5674 Jordan;3383 Simeon,8095 and Levi,3878 and Judah,3063 and Issachar,3485 and Joseph,3130 and Benjamin:1144
13 And these428 shall stand5975 on mount2022 Ebal5858 to curse;7045 Reuben,7205 Gad,1410 and Asher,836 and Zebulun,2074 Dan,1835 and Naphtali.5321
14 And the Levites3881 shall speak,6030 and say559 to all3605 the men376 of Israel3478 with a loud7311 voice,6963
15 Cursed779 be the man376 that makes6213 any graven6459 or molten4541 image, an abomination8441 to the LORD,3068 the work4639 of the hands3027 of the craftsman,2796 and puts7760 it in a secret5643 place. And all3605 the people5971 shall answer6030 and say,559 Amen.543
16 Cursed779 be he that sets7034 light7034 by his father1 or his mother.517 And all3605 the people5971 shall say,559 Amen.543
17 Cursed779 be he that removes5253 his neighbor's7453 landmark.1366 And all3605 the people5971 shall say,559 Amen.543
18 Cursed779 be he that makes the blind5787 to wander7686 out of the way.1870 And all3605 the people5971 shall say,559 Amen.543
19 Cursed779 be he that perverts5186 the judgment4941 of the stranger,1616 fatherless,3490 and widow.490 And all3605 the people5971 shall say,559 Amen.543
20 Cursed779 be he that lies7901 with his father's1 wife;802 because3588 he uncovers1540 his father's1 skirt.3671 And all3605 the people5971 shall say,559 Amen.543
21 Cursed779 be he that lies7901 with any3605 manner of beast.929 And all3605 the people5971 shall say,559 Amen.543
22 Cursed779 be he that lies7901 with his sister,269 the daughter1323 of his father,1 or176 the daughter1323 of his mother.517 And all3605 the people5971 shall say,559 Amen.543
23 Cursed779 be he that lies7901 with his mother2859 in law.2859 And all3605 the people5971 shall say,559 Amen.543
24 Cursed779 be he that smites5221 his neighbor7453 secretly.5643 And all3605 the people5971 shall say,559 Amen.543
25 Cursed779 be he that takes3947 reward7810 to slay5221 an innocent5355 person.5315 And all3605 the people5971 shall say,559 Amen.543
26 Cursed779 be he that confirms6965 not all the words1697 of this2063 law8451 to do6213 them. And all3605 the people5971 shall say,559 Amen.543
1 And it shall come1961 to pass, if518 you shall listen8085 diligently to the voice6963 of the LORD3068 your God,430 to observe8104 and to do6213 all3605 his commandments4687 which834 I command6680 you this day,3117 that the LORD3068 your God430 will set5414 you on5921 high5945 above5921 all3605 nations1471 of the earth:776
2 And all3605 these428 blessings1293 shall come935 on5921 you, and overtake5381 you, if3588 you shall listen8085 to the voice6963 of the LORD3068 your God.430
3 Blessed1288 shall you be in the city,5892 and blessed1288 shall you be in the field.7704
4 Blessed1288 shall be the fruit6529 of your body,990 and the fruit6529 of your ground,127 and the fruit6529 of your cattle,929 the increase7698 of your cows,504 and the flocks6251 of your sheep.6629
5 Blessed1288 shall be your basket2935 and your store.4863
6 Blessed1288 shall you be when you come935 in, and blessed1288 shall you be when you go3318 out.
7 The LORD3068 shall cause5414 your enemies341 that rise6965 up against5921 you to be smitten5062 before your face: they shall come3318 out against413 you one259 way,1870 and flee5127 before6440 you seven7651 ways.1870
8 The LORD3068 shall command6680 the blessing1293 on you in your storehouses,618 and in all3605 that you set4916 your hand3027 to; and he shall bless1288 you in the land776 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you.
9 The LORD3068 shall establish6965 you an holy6918 people5971 to himself, as he has sworn7650 to you, if3588 you shall keep8104 the commandments4687 of the LORD3068 your God,430 and walk1980 in his ways.1870
10 And all3605 people5971 of the earth776 shall see7200 that you are called7121 by the name8034 of the LORD;3068 and they shall be afraid3372 of you.
11 And the LORD3068 shall make you plenteous3498 in goods,2896 in the fruit6529 of your body,990 and in the fruit6529 of your cattle,929 and in the fruit6529 of your ground,127 in the land127 which834 the LORD3068 swore7650 to your fathers1 to give5414 you.
12 The LORD3068 shall open6605 to you his good2896 treasure,214 the heaven8064 to give5414 the rain4306 to your land776 in his season,6256 and to bless1288 all3605 the work4639 of your hand:3027 and you shall lend3867 to many7227 nations,1471 and you shall not borrow.3867
13 And the LORD3068 shall make5414 you the head,7218 and not the tail;2180 and you shall be above4605 only,7535 and you shall not be beneath;4295 if3588 that you listen8085 to the commandments4687 of the LORD3068 your God,430 which834 I command6680 you this day,3117 to observe8104 and to do6213 them:
14 And you shall not go5493 aside5493 from any3605 of the words1697 which834 I command6680 you this day,3117 to the right3225 hand,3225 or to the left,8040 to go3212 after310 other312 gods430 to serve5647 them.
15 But it shall come1961 to pass, if518 you will not listen8085 to the voice6963 of the LORD3068 your God,430 to observe8104 to do6213 all3605 his commandments4687 and his statutes2708 which834 I command6680 you this day;3117 that all3605 these428 curses7045 shall come935 on you, and overtake5381 you:
16 Cursed779 shall you be in the city,5892 and cursed779 shall you be in the field.7704
17 Cursed779 shall be your basket2935 and your store.4863
18 Cursed779 shall be the fruit6529 of your body,990 and the fruit6529 of your land,127 the increase7698 of your cows,504 and the flocks6251 of your sheep.6629
19 Cursed779 shall you be when you come935 in, and cursed779 shall you be when you go3318 out.
20 The LORD3068 shall send7971 on you cursing,3994 vexation,4103 and rebuke,4045 in all3605 that you set4916 your hand3027 to for to do,6213 until5704 you be destroyed,8045 and until5704 you perish6 quickly;4118 because6440 of the wickedness7455 of your doings,4611 whereby834 you have forsaken5800 me.
21 The LORD3068 shall make the pestilence1698 stick1692 to you, until5704 he have consumed3615 you from off5921 the land,127 where834 8033 you go935 to possess3423 it.
22 The LORD3068 shall smite5221 you with a consumption,7829 and with a fever,6920 and with an inflammation,1816 and with an extreme2746 burning,2746 and with the sword,2719 and with blasting,7711 and with mildew;3420 and they shall pursue7291 you until5704 you perish.6
23 And your heaven8064 that is over5921 your head7218 shall be brass,5178 and the earth776 that is under8478 you shall be iron.1270
24 The LORD3068 shall make5414 the rain4306 of your land776 powder80 and dust:6083 from heaven8064 shall it come3381 down3381 on you, until5704 you be destroyed.8045
25 The LORD3068 shall cause5414 you to be smitten5062 before6440 your enemies:341 you shall go3318 out one259 way1870 against413 them, and flee5127 seven7651 ways1870 before6440 them: and shall be removed2189 into all3605 the kingdoms4467 of the earth.776
26 And your carcass5038 shall be meat3978 to all3605 fowls5775 of the air,8064 and to the beasts929 of the earth,776 and no369 man shall fray2729 them away.
27 The LORD3068 will smite5221 you with the botch7822 of Egypt,4714 and with the tumors,6076 and with the scab,1618 and with the itch,2775 whereof834 you can3201 not be healed.7495
28 The LORD3068 shall smite5221 you with madness,7697 and blindness,5788 and astonishment8541 of heart:3824
29 And you shall grope4959 at noonday,6672 as the blind5787 gropes4959 in darkness,653 and you shall not prosper6743 in your ways:1870 and you shall be only389 oppressed6231 and spoiled1497 ever more,3605 3117 and no369 man shall save3467 you.
30 You shall betroth781 a wife,802 and another312 man376 shall lie7693 with her: you shall build1129 an house,1004 and you shall not dwell3427 therein: you shall plant5193 a vineyard,3754 and shall not gather2490 the grapes thereof.
31 Your ox7794 shall be slain2873 before your eyes,5869 and you shall not eat398 thereof: your ass2543 shall be violently1497 taken1497 away from before your face, and shall not be restored7725 to you: your sheep6629 shall be given5414 to your enemies,341 and you shall have none369 to rescue3467 them.
32 Your sons1121 and your daughters1323 shall be given5414 to another312 people,5971 and your eyes5869 shall look,7200 and fail3615 with longing for them all3605 the day3117 long; and there shall be no369 might410 in your hand.3027
33 The fruit6529 of your land,127 and all3605 your labors,3018 shall a nation5971 which834 you know3045 not eat398 up; and you shall be only389 oppressed6231 and crushed7533 always:3605
34 So that you shall be mad7696 for the sight4758 of your eyes5869 which834 you shall see.7200
35 The LORD3068 shall smite5221 you in the knees,1290 and in the legs,7785 with a sore7451 botch7822 that cannot3808 3201 be healed,7495 from the sole3709 of your foot7272 to the top6936 of your head.6936
36 The LORD3068 shall bring3212 you, and your king4428 which834 you shall set6965 over5921 you, to a nation1471 which neither3808 you nor your fathers1 have known;3045 and there8033 shall you serve5647 other312 gods,430 wood6086 and stone.68
37 And you shall become1961 an astonishment,8047 a proverb,4912 and a byword,8148 among all3605 nations5971 where834 8033 the LORD3068 shall lead5090 you.
38 You shall carry3318 much7227 seed2233 out into the field,7704 and shall gather622 but little4592 in; for the locust697 shall consume2628 it.
39 You shall plant5193 vineyards,3754 and dress5647 them, but shall neither3808 drink8354 of the wine,3196 nor3808 gather103 the grapes; for the worms8438 shall eat398 them.
40 You shall have olive2132 trees throughout all3605 your coasts,1366 but you shall not anoint5480 yourself with the oil;8081 for your olive2132 shall cast5394 his fruit.
41 You shall beget3205 sons1121 and daughters,1323 but you shall not enjoy1961 them; for they shall go3212 into captivity.7628
42 All3605 your trees6086 and fruit6529 of your land127 shall the locust6767 consume.3423
43 The stranger1616 that is within7130 you shall get5927 up above5921 you very4605 high;4605 and you shall come3381 down3381 very4295 low.4295
44 He shall lend3867 to you, and you shall not lend3867 to him: he shall be the head,7218 and you shall be the tail.2180
45 Moreover all3605 these428 curses7045 shall come935 on you, and shall pursue7291 you, and overtake5381 you, till5704 you be destroyed;8045 because3588 you listened8085 not to the voice6963 of the LORD3068 your God,430 to keep8104 his commandments4687 and his statutes2708 which834 he commanded6680 you:
46 And they shall be on you for a sign226 and for a wonder,4159 and on your seed2233 for ever.5769
47 Because8478 834 you served5647 not the LORD3068 your God430 with joyfulness,8057 and with gladness2898 of heart,3824 for the abundance7230 of all3605 things;
48 Therefore shall you serve5647 your enemies341 which834 the LORD3068 shall send7971 against you, in hunger,7457 and in thirst,6772 and in nakedness,5903 and in want2640 of all3605 things: and he shall put5414 a yoke5923 of iron1270 on your neck,6677 until5704 he have destroyed8045 you.
49 The LORD3068 shall bring5375 a nation1471 against5921 you from far,7350 from the end7097 of the earth,776 as swift as the eagle5404 flies;1675 a nation1471 whose834 tongue3956 you shall not understand;8085
50 A nation1471 of fierce5794 countenance,6440 which834 shall not regard5375 the person6440 of the old,2205 nor3808 show favor2603 to the young:5288
51 And he shall eat398 the fruit6529 of your cattle,929 and the fruit6529 of your land,127 until5704 you be destroyed:8045 which834 also shall not leave7604 you either corn,1715 wine,8492 or oil,3323 or the increase7698 of your cows,504 or flocks6251 of your sheep,6629 until5704 he have destroyed6 you.
52 And he shall besiege6887 you in all3605 your gates,8179 until5704 your high1364 and fenced1219 walls2346 come3381 down,3381 wherein834 2004 you trusted,982 throughout all3605 your land:776 and he shall besiege6887 you in all3605 your gates8179 throughout all3605 your land,776 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 has given5414 you.
53 And you shall eat398 the fruit6529 of your own body,990 the flesh1320 of your sons1121 and of your daughters,1323 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 has given5414 you, in the siege,4692 and in the narrow place,4689 with which834 your enemies341 shall distress6693 you:
54 So that the man376 that is tender7390 among you, and very3966 delicate,6028 his eye5869 shall be evil7489 toward his brother,251 and toward the wife802 of his bosom,2436 and toward the remnant3499 of his children1121 which834 he shall leave:3498
55 So that he will not give5414 to any259 of them of the flesh1320 of his children1121 whom834 he shall eat:398 because he has nothing3605 left7604 him in the siege,4692 and in the narrow place,4689 with which834 your enemies341 shall distress6693 you in all3605 your gates.8179
56 The tender7390 and delicate6028 woman among you, which834 would not adventure5254 to set3322 the sole3709 of her foot7272 on the ground776 for delicateness6026 and tenderness,7391 her eye5869 shall be evil7489 toward the husband376 of her bosom,2436 and toward her son,1121 and toward her daughter,1323
57 And toward her young7988 one that comes3318 out from between996 her feet,7272 and toward her children1121 which834 she shall bear:3205 for she shall eat398 them for want2640 of all3605 things secretly5643 in the siege4692 and narrow place,4689 with which834 your enemy341 shall distress6693 you in your gates.8179
58 If518 you will not observe8104 to do6213 all3605 the words1697 of this2063 law8451 that are written3789 in this2088 book,5612 that you may fear3372 this2088 glorious3513 and fearful3372 name,8034 THE LORD3068 THY GOD;430
59 Then the LORD3068 will make6381 your plagues4347 wonderful,6381 and the plagues4347 of your seed,2233 even great1419 plagues,4347 and of long continuance,539 and sore7451 sicknesses,2483 and of long continuance.539
60 Moreover he will bring7725 on you all3605 the diseases4064 of Egypt,4714 which834 you were afraid3025 of; and they shall stick1692 to you.
61 Also1571 every3605 sickness,2483 and every3605 plague,4347 which834 is not written3789 in the book5612 of this2063 law,8451 them will the LORD3068 bring5927 on you, until5704 you be destroyed.8045
62 And you shall be left7604 few4592 in number, whereas834 you were as the stars3556 of heaven8064 for multitude;7230 because3588 you would not obey8085 the voice6963 of the LORD3068 your God.430
63 And it shall come1961 to pass, that as the LORD3068 rejoiced7797 over5921 you to do you good,3190 and to multiply7235 you; so3651 the LORD3068 will rejoice7797 over5921 you to destroy6 you, and to bring8045 you to nothing;8045 and you shall be plucked5255 from off5921 the land127 where834 8033 you go935 to possess3423 it.
64 And the LORD3068 shall scatter6327 you among all3605 people,5971 from the one end7097 of the earth776 even to the other; and there8033 you shall serve5647 other312 gods,430 which834 neither3808 you nor your fathers1 have known,3045 even wood6086 and stone.68
65 And among these1992 nations1471 shall you find no3808 ease,7280 neither3808 shall the sole3709 of your foot7272 have1961 rest:4494 but the LORD3068 shall give5414 you there8033 a trembling7268 heart,3820 and failing3631 of eyes,5869 and sorrow1671 of mind:5315
66 And your life2416 shall hang8511 in doubt before5048 you; and you shall fear6342 day3119 and night,3915 and shall have none3808 assurance539 of your life:2416
67 In the morning1242 you shall say,559 Would4310 5414 God it were even!6153 and at even6153 you shall say,559 Would4310 5414 God it were morning!1242 for the fear6343 of your heart3824 with which834 you shall fear,6342 and for the sight4758 of your eyes5869 which834 you shall see.7200
68 And the LORD3068 shall bring7725 you into Egypt4714 again7725 with ships,591 by the way1870 whereof834 I spoke559 to you, You shall see7200 it no3808 more5750 again:3254 and there8033 you shall be sold4376 to your enemies341 for slaves5650 and bondwomen,8198 and no369 man shall buy7069 you.
1 These428 are the words1697 of the covenant,1285 which the LORD3068 commanded6680 Moses4872 to make3772 with the children1121 of Israel3478 in the land776 of Moab,4124 beside905 the covenant1285 which834 he made3772 with them in Horeb.2722
2 And Moses4872 called7121 to all3605 Israel,3478 and said559 to them, You have seen7200 all3605 that the LORD3068 did6213 before your eyes5869 in the land776 of Egypt4714 to Pharaoh,6547 and to all3605 his servants,5650 and to all3605 his land;776
3 The great1419 temptations4531 which834 your eyes5869 have seen,7200 the signs,226 and those1992 great1419 miracles:4159
4 Yet the LORD3068 has not given5414 you an heart3820 to perceive,3045 and eyes5869 to see,7200 and ears241 to hear,8085 to this2088 day.3117
5 And I have led3212 you forty705 years8141 in the wilderness:4057 your clothes8008 are not waxen old1086 on you, and your shoe5275 is not waxen old1086 on your foot.7272
6 You have not eaten398 bread,3899 neither3808 have you drunk8354 wine3196 or strong drink:7941 that you might know3045 that I am the LORD3068 your God.430
7 And when you came935 to this2088 place,4725 Sihon5511 the king4428 of Heshbon,2809 and Og5747 the king4428 of Bashan,1316 came3318 out against7125 us to battle,4421 and we smote5221 them:
8 And we took3947 their land,776 and gave5414 it for an inheritance5159 to the Reubenites,7206 and to the Gadites,1425 and to the half2677 tribe7626 of Manasseh.4520
9 Keep8104 therefore the words1697 of this2063 covenant,1285 and do6213 them, that you may prosper7919 in all3605 that you do.6213
10 You stand5324 this day3117 all3605 of you before6440 the LORD3068 your God;430 your captains7218 of your tribes,7626 your elders,2205 and your officers,7860 with all3605 the men376 of Israel,3478
11 Your little2945 ones, your wives,802 and your stranger1616 that is in your camp,4264 from the hewer2404 of your wood6086 to the drawer7579 of your water:4325
12 That you should enter5674 into covenant1285 with the LORD3068 your God,430 and into his oath,423 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 makes3772 with you this day:3117
13 That he may establish6965 you to day3117 for a people5971 to himself, and that he may be to you a God,430 as he has said1696 to you, and as he has sworn7650 to your fathers,1 to Abraham,85 to Isaac,3327 and to Jacob.3290
14 Neither3808 with you only905 do I make3772 this2063 covenant1285 and this2063 oath;423
15 But with him that stands5975 here6311 with us this day3117 before6440 the LORD3068 our God,430 and also with him that is not here6311 with us this day:3117
16 (For you know3045 how834 we have dwelled3427 in the land776 of Egypt;4714 and how834 we came5674 through7130 the nations1471 which834 you passed5674 by;
17 And you have seen7200 their abominations,8251 and their idols,1544 wood6086 and stone,68 silver3701 and gold,2091 which834 were among them:)
18 Lest6435 there should be among you man,376 or176 woman,802 or176 family,4940 or176 tribe,7626 whose834 heart3824 turns6437 away this day3117 from the LORD3068 our God,430 to go3212 and serve5647 the gods430 of these1992 nations;1471 lest6435 there should be among you a root8328 that bears6509 gall7219 and wormwood;3939
19 And it come1961 to pass, when he hears8085 the words1697 of this2063 curse,423 that he bless1288 himself in his heart,3824 saying,559 I shall have peace,7965 though3588 I walk3212 in the imagination8307 of my heart,3820 to add5595 drunkenness7302 to thirst:6771
20 The LORD3068 will not spare5545 him, but then227 the anger639 of the LORD3068 and his jealousy7068 shall smoke6225 against that man,376 and all3605 the curses423 that are written3789 in this2088 book5612 shall lie7257 on him, and the LORD3068 shall blot4229 out his name8034 from under8478 heaven.8064
21 And the LORD3068 shall separate914 him to evil7451 out of all3605 the tribes7626 of Israel,3478 according to all3605 the curses423 of the covenant1285 that are written3789 in this2088 book5612 of the law:8451
22 So that the generation1755 to come314 of your children1121 that shall rise6965 up after310 you, and the stranger5237 that shall come935 from a far7350 land,776 shall say,559 when they see7200 the plagues4347 of that land,776 and the sicknesses8463 which834 the LORD3068 has laid2470 on it;
23 And that the whole3605 land776 thereof is brimstone,1614 and salt,4417 and burning,8316 that it is not sown,2232 nor3808 bears,6779 nor3808 any3605 grass6212 grows5927 therein, like the overthrow4114 of Sodom,5467 and Gomorrah,6017 Admah,126 and Zeboim,6636 which834 the LORD3068 overthrew2015 in his anger,639 and in his wrath:2534
24 Even all3605 nations1471 shall say,559 Why5921 4100 has the LORD3068 done6213 thus3660 to this2063 land?776 what4100 means the heat2750 of this2088 great1419 anger?639
25 Then men shall say,559 Because5921 834 they have forsaken5800 the covenant1285 of the LORD3068 God430 of their fathers,1 which834 he made3772 with them when he brought3318 them forth3318 out of the land776 of Egypt:4714
26 For they went3212 and served5647 other312 gods,430 and worshipped7812 them, gods430 whom834 they knew3045 not, and whom834 he had not given2505 to them:
27 And the anger639 of the LORD3068 was kindled2734 against this1931 land,776 to bring935 on it all3605 the curses7045 that are written3789 in this2088 book:5612
28 And the LORD3068 rooted5428 them out of their land127 in anger,639 and in wrath,2534 and in great1419 indignation,7110 and cast7993 them into413 another312 land,776 as it is this2088 day.3117
29 The secret5641 things belong to the LORD3068 our God:430 but those things which are revealed1540 belong to us and to our children1121 for ever,5769 that we may do6213 all3605 the words1697 of this2063 law.8451
1 And it shall come1961 to pass, when3588 all3605 these428 things1697 are come935 on you, the blessing1293 and the curse,7045 which834 I have set5414 before6440 you, and you shall call7725 them to mind3824 among all3605 the nations,1471 where834 8033 the LORD3068 your God430 has driven5080 you,
2 And shall return7725 to the LORD3068 your God,430 and shall obey8085 his voice6963 according to all3605 that I command6680 you this day,3117 you and your children,1121 with all3605 your heart,3824 and with all3605 your soul;5315
3 That then the LORD3068 your God430 will turn7725 your captivity,7622 and have compassion7355 on you, and will return7725 and gather6908 you from all3605 the nations,5971 where834 8033 the LORD3068 your God430 has scattered6327 you.
4 If518 any of your be driven5080 out to the outmost7097 parts of heaven,8064 from there8033 will the LORD3068 your God430 gather6908 you, and from there8033 will he fetch3947 you:
5 And the LORD3068 your God430 will bring935 you into413 the land776 which834 your fathers1 possessed,3423 and you shall possess3423 it; and he will do you good,3190 and multiply7235 you above your fathers.1
6 And the LORD3068 your God430 will circumcise4135 your heart,3824 and the heart3824 of your seed,2233 to love157 the LORD3068 your God430 with all3605 your heart,3824 and with all3605 your soul,5315 that you may live.2416
7 And the LORD3068 your God430 will put5414 all3605 these428 curses423 on your enemies,341 and on5921 them that hate8130 you, which834 persecuted7291 you.
8 And you shall return7725 and obey8085 the voice6963 of the LORD,3068 and do6213 all3605 his commandments4687 which834 I command6680 you this day.3117
9 And the LORD3068 your God430 will make you plenteous3498 in every3605 work4639 of your hand,3027 in the fruit6529 of your body,990 and in the fruit6529 of your cattle,929 and in the fruit6529 of your land,127 for good:2896 for the LORD3068 will again7725 rejoice7797 over5921 you for good,2896 as he rejoiced7797 over5921 your fathers:1
10 If3588 you shall listen8085 to the voice6963 of the LORD3068 your God,430 to keep8104 his commandments4687 and his statutes2708 which are written3789 in this2088 book5612 of the law,8451 and if3588 you turn7725 to the LORD3068 your God430 with all3605 your heart,3824 and with all3605 your soul.5315
11 For this2063 commandment4687 which834 I command6680 you this day,3117 it is not hidden6381 from you, neither3808 is it far7350 off.
12 It is not in heaven,8064 that you should say,559 Who4310 shall go5927 up for us to heaven,8064 and bring3947 it to us, that we may hear8085 it, and do6213 it?
13 Neither3808 is it beyond5676 the sea,3220 that you should say,559 Who4310 shall go5674 over5674 the sea3220 for us, and bring3947 it to us, that we may hear8085 it, and do6213 it?
14 But the word1697 is very3966 near7126 to you, in your mouth,6310 and in your heart,3824 that you may do6213 it.
15 See,7200 I have set5414 before6440 you this day3117 life2416 and good,2896 and death4194 and evil;7451
16 In that I command6680 you this day3117 to love157 the LORD3068 your God,430 to walk3212 in his ways,1870 and to keep8104 his commandments4687 and his statutes2708 and his judgments,4941 that you may live2421 and multiply:7235 and the LORD3068 your God430 shall bless1288 you in the land776 where834 8033 you go935 to possess3423 it.
17 But if518 your heart3824 turn6437 away, so that you will not hear,8085 but shall be drawn5080 away, and worship7812 other312 gods,430 and serve5647 them;
18 I denounce5046 to you this day,3117 that you shall surely3588 perish,6 and that you shall not prolong748 your days3117 on the land,127 where834 8033 you pass5674 over5674 Jordan3383 to go935 to possess3423 it.
19 I call5749 heaven8064 and earth776 to record5749 this day3117 against you, that I have set5414 before6440 you life2416 and death,4194 blessing1293 and cursing:7045 therefore choose977 life,2416 that both you and your seed2233 may live:2421
20 That you may love157 the LORD3068 your God,430 and that you may obey8085 his voice,6963 and that you may hold1692 to him: for he is your life,2416 and the length753 of your days:3117 that you may dwell3427 in the land127 which834 the LORD3068 swore7650 to your fathers,1 to Abraham,85 to Isaac,3327 and to Jacob,3290 to give5414 them.
1 And Moses4872 went3212 and spoke1696 these428 words1697 to all3605 Israel.3478
2 And he said559 to them, I am an hundred3967 and twenty6242 years8141 old1121 this day;3117 I can3201 no3808 more5750 go3318 out and come935 in: also the LORD3068 has said559 to me, You shall not go5674 over5674 this2088 Jordan.3383
3 The LORD3068 your God,430 he will go5674 over5674 before6440 you, and he will destroy8045 these428 nations1471 from before6440 you, and you shall possess3423 them: and Joshua,3091 he shall go5674 over5674 before6440 you, as the LORD3068 has said.1696
4 And the LORD3068 shall do6213 to them as he did6213 to Sihon5511 and to Og,5747 kings4428 of the Amorites,567 and to the land776 of them, whom834 853 he destroyed.8045
5 And the LORD3068 shall give5414 them up before your face, that you may do6213 to them according to all3605 the commandments4687 which834 I have commanded6680 you.
6 Be strong2388 and of a good courage,553 fear3372 not, nor408 be afraid6206 of them: for the LORD3068 your God,430 he it is that does go1980 with you; he will not fail7503 you, nor3808 forsake5800 you.
7 And Moses4872 called7121 to Joshua,3091 and said559 to him in the sight5869 of all3605 Israel,3478 Be strong2388 and of a good courage:553 for you must go935 with this2088 people5971 to the land776 which834 the LORD3068 has sworn7650 to their fathers1 to give5414 them; and you shall cause them to inherit5157 it.
8 And the LORD,3068 he it is that does go1980 before6440 you; he will be with you, he will not fail7503 you, neither3808 forsake5800 you: fear3372 not, neither3808 be dismayed.2865
9 And Moses4872 wrote3789 this2063 law,8451 and delivered5414 it to the priests3548 the sons1121 of Levi,3878 which bore5375 the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD,3068 and to all3605 the elders2205 of Israel.3478
10 And Moses4872 commanded6680 them, saying,559 At the end7093 of every seven7651 years,8141 in the solemnity4150 of the year8141 of release,8059 in the feast2282 of tabernacles,5521
11 When all3605 Israel3478 is come935 to appear7200 before854 6440 the LORD3068 your God430 in the place4725 which834 he shall choose,977 you shall read7121 this2063 law8451 before5048 all3605 Israel3478 in their hearing.241
12 Gather6950 the people5971 together, men 582and women,802 and children,2945 and your stranger1616 that is within your gates,8179 that they may hear,8085 and that they may learn,3925 and fear3372 the LORD3068 your God,430 and observe8104 to do6213 all3605 the words1697 of this2063 law:8451
13 And that their children,1121 which834 have not known3045 any thing, may hear,8085 and learn3925 to fear3372 the LORD3068 your God,430 as long3117 as you live2416 in the land127 where834 8033 you go5674 over5674 Jordan3383 to possess3423 it.
14 And the LORD3068 said559 to Moses,4872 Behold,2005 your days3117 approach7126 that you must die:4191 call7121 Joshua,3091 and present3320 yourselves in the tabernacle168 of the congregation,4150 that I may give him a charge.6680 And Moses4872 and Joshua3091 went,3212 and presented3320 themselves in the tabernacle168 of the congregation.4150
15 And the LORD3068 appeared7200 in the tabernacle168 in a pillar5982 of a cloud:6051 and the pillar5982 of the cloud6051 stood5975 over5921 the door6607 of the tabernacle.168
16 And the LORD3068 said559 to Moses,4872 Behold,2009 you shall sleep7901 with your fathers;1 and this2088 people5971 will rise6965 up, and go a whoring2181 after310 the gods430 of the strangers5236 of the land,776 where834 8033 they go935 to be among7130 them, and will forsake5800 me, and break6565 my covenant1285 which I have made3772 with them.
17 Then my anger639 shall be kindled2734 against them in that day,3117 and I will forsake5800 them, and I will hide5641 my face6440 from them, and they shall be devoured,398 and many7227 evils7451 and troubles6869 shall befall4672 them; so that they will say559 in that day,3117 Are not these428 evils7451 come4672 on us, because5921 3588 our God430 is not among7130 us?
18 And I will surely hide5641 my face6440 in that day3117 for all3605 the evils7451 which834 they shall have worked,6213 in that they are turned6437 to other312 gods.430
19 Now6258 therefore write3789 you this2063 song7892 for you, and teach3925 it the children1121 of Israel:3478 put7760 it in their mouths,6310 that this2063 song7892 may be a witness5707 for me against the children1121 of Israel.3478
20 For when3588 I shall have brought935 them into413 the land127 which834 I swore7650 to their fathers,1 that flows2100 with milk2461 and honey;1706 and they shall have eaten398 and filled7646 themselves, and waxen fat;1878 then will they turn6437 to other312 gods,430 and serve5647 them, and provoke5006 me, and break6565 my covenant.1285
21 And it shall come1961 to pass, when3588 many7227 evils7451 and troubles6869 are befallen4672 them, that this2063 song7892 shall testify6030 against6440 them as a witness;5707 for it shall not be forgotten7911 out of the mouths6310 of their seed:2233 for I know3045 their imagination3336 which834 they go6213 about,6213 even now,3117 before2962 I have brought935 them into413 the land776 which834 I swore.7650
22 Moses4872 therefore wrote3789 this2063 song7892 the same1931 day,3117 and taught3925 it the children1121 of Israel.3478
23 And he gave Joshua3091 the son1121 of Nun5126 a charge,6680 and said,559 Be strong2388 and of a good courage:553 for you shall bring935 the children1121 of Israel3478 into413 the land776 which834 I swore7650 to them: and I will be with you.
24 And it came1961 to pass, when Moses4872 had made an end3615 of writing3789 the words1697 of this2063 law8451 in a book,5612 until5704 they were finished,8552
25 That Moses4872 commanded6680 the Levites,3881 which834 bore5375 the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD,3068 saying,559
26 Take3947 this2088 book5612 of the law,8451 and put7760 it in the side6654 of the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD3068 your God,430 that it may be there8033 for a witness5707 against you.
27 For I know3045 your rebellion,4805 and your stiff7186 neck:6203 behold,2005 while I am yet5750 alive2416 with you this day,3117 you have been1961 rebellious4784 against5973 the LORD;3068 and how637 much more after310 my death?4194
28 Gather6950 to me all3605 the elders2205 of your tribes,7626 and your officers,7860 that I may speak1696 these428 words1697 in their ears,241 and call5749 heaven8064 and earth776 to record5749 against them.
29 For I know3045 that after310 my death4194 you will utterly corrupt7843 yourselves, and turn5493 aside from the way1870 which834 I have commanded6680 you; and evil7451 will befall7122 you in the latter319 days;3117 because3588 you will do6213 evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 to provoke him to anger3707 through the work4639 of your hands.3027
30 And Moses4872 spoke1696 in the ears241 of all3605 the congregation4150 of Israel3478 the words1697 of this2063 song,7892 until5704 they were ended.8552
1 Give ear,238 O you heavens,8064 and I will speak;1696 and hear,8085 O earth,776 the words561 of my mouth.6310
2 My doctrine3948 shall drop6201 as the rain,4306 my speech565 shall distil5140 as the dew,2919 as the small rain8164 on the tender herb,1877 and as the showers7241 on the grass:6212
3 Because3588 I will publish7121 the name8034 of the LORD:3068 ascribe3051 you greatness1433 to our God.430
4 He is the Rock,6697 his work6467 is perfect:8549 for all3605 his ways1870 are judgment:4941 a God410 of truth530 and without369 iniquity,5766 just6662 and right3477 is he.
5 They have corrupted7843 themselves, their spot3971 is not the spot of his children:1121 they are a perverse6141 and crooked6618 generation.1755
6 Do you thus2063 requite1580 the LORD,3068 O foolish5036 people5971 and unwise?3808 is not he your father1 that has bought7069 you? has he not made6213 you, and established3559 you?
7 Remember2142 the days3117 of old,5769 consider995 the years8141 of many generations:1755 ask7592 your father,1 and he will show5046 you; your elders,2205 and they will tell559 you.
8 When the Most6944 High5945 divided to the nations1471 their inheritance,5157 when he separated6504 the sons1121 of Adam,120 he set5324 the bounds1367 of the people5971 according to the number4557 of the children1121 of Israel.3478
9 For the LORD's3068 portion2506 is his people;5971 Jacob3290 is the lot2256 of his inheritance.5159
10 He found4672 him in a desert4057 land,776 and in the waste8414 howling3214 wilderness;3452 he led5437 him about,5437 he instructed995 him, he kept5341 him as the apple380 of his eye.5869
11 As an eagle5404 stirs5782 up her nest,7064 flutters7363 over5921 her young,1469 spreads6566 abroad6566 her wings,3671 takes3947 them, bears5375 them on5921 her wings:84
12 So the LORD3068 alone909 did lead5148 him, and there was no369 strange5236 god410 with him.
13 He made him ride7392 on5921 the high1116 places of the earth,776 that he might eat398 the increase8570 of the fields;7704 and he made him to suck3243 honey1706 out of the rock,5553 and oil8081 out of the flinty2496 rock;6697
14 Butter2529 of cows,1241 and milk2461 of sheep,6629 with fat2459 of lambs,3733 and rams352 of the breed1121 of Bashan,1316 and goats,6260 with the fat2459 of kidneys3629 of wheat;2406 and you did drink8354 the pure2561 blood1818 of the grape.6025
15 But Jeshurun3484 waxed fat,8080 and kicked:1163 you are waxen fat,8080 you are grown thick,5666 you are covered3780 with fatness; then he forsook5203 God433 which made6213 him, and lightly5034 esteemed5034 the Rock6697 of his salvation.3444
16 They provoked3707 him to jealousy7065 with strange2114 gods, with abominations8441 provoked they him to anger.3707
17 They sacrificed2076 to devils,7700 not to God;433 to gods430 whom they knew3045 not, to new2319 gods that came935 newly7138 up, whom your fathers1 feared8175 not.
18 Of the Rock6697 that begat3205 you you are unmindful,7876 and have forgotten7911 God410 that formed2342 you.
19 And when the LORD3068 saw7200 it, he abhorred5006 them, because of the provoking3707 of his sons,1121 and of his daughters.1323
20 And he said,559 I will hide5641 my face6440 from them, I will see7200 what4100 their end319 shall be: for they are a very fraudulent8419 generation,1755 children1121 in whom is no3808 faith.529
21 They have moved me to jealousy7065 with that which is not God;410 they have provoked me to anger3707 with their vanities:1892 and I will move them to jealousy7065 with those which are not a people;5971 I will provoke them to anger with a foolish5036 nation.1471
22 For a fire784 is kindled6919 in my anger,639 and shall burn3344 to the lowest8482 hell,7585 and shall consume398 the earth776 with her increase,2981 and set on fire3857 the foundations4146 of the mountains.2022
23 I will heap5595 mischiefs7451 on them; I will spend3615 my arrows2671 on them.
24 They shall be burnt4198 with hunger,7457 and devoured3898 with burning heat,7565 and with bitter4815 destruction:6986 I will also send7971 the teeth8127 of beasts929 on them, with the poison2534 of serpents2119 of the dust.6083
25 The sword2719 without,2351 and terror367 within,2315 shall destroy7921 both1571 the young970 man and the virgin,1330 the suckling3243 also with the man376 of gray7872 hairs.
26 I said,559 I would scatter6284 them into corners,6284 I would make the remembrance2143 of them to cease7673 from among men:582
27 Were it not that I feared1481 the wrath3708 of the enemy,341 lest6435 their adversaries6862 should behave5234 themselves strangely,5234 and lest6435 they should say,559 Our hand3027 is high,7311 and the LORD3068 has not done6466 all3605 this.2063
28 For they are a nation1471 void6 of counsel,6098 neither369 is there any understanding8394 in them.
29 O that they were wise,2449 that they understood7919 this,2063 that they would consider995 their latter319 end!
30 How349 should one259 chase7291 a thousand,505 and two8147 put7760 ten7233 thousand505 to flight,5127 except518 their Rock6697 had sold4376 them, and the LORD3068 had shut5462 them up?
31 For their rock6697 is not as our Rock,6697 even our enemies341 themselves being judges.6414
32 For their vine1612 is of the vine1612 of Sodom,5467 and of the fields7709 of Gomorrah:6017 their grapes6025 are grapes6025 of gall,7219 their clusters811 are bitter:4846
33 Their wine3196 is the poison2534 of dragons,8577 and the cruel393 venom7219 of asps.6620
34 Is not this1931 laid3647 up in store with me, and sealed2856 up among my treasures?214
35 To me belongs vengeance 5359and recompense;8005 their foot7272 shall slide4131 in due time:6256 for the day3117 of their calamity343 is at7138 hand,7138 and the things that shall come6264 on them make haste.2363
36 For the LORD3068 shall judge1777 his people,5971 and repent5162 himself for his servants,5650 when3588 he sees7200 that their power3027 is gone,235 and there is none657 shut6113 up, or left.5800
37 And he shall say,559 Where335 are their gods,430 their rock6697 in whom they trusted,2620
38 Which834 did eat398 the fat2459 of their sacrifices,2077 and drank8354 the wine3196 of their drink5257 offerings? let them rise6965 up and help5826 you, and be your protection.5643
39 See7200 now6258 that I, even I, am he, and there is no369 god430 with me: I kill,4191 and I make alive;2421 I wound,4272 and I heal:7495 neither369 is there any that can deliver5337 out of my hand.3027
40 For I lift5375 up my hand3027 to heaven,8064 and say,559 I live2416 for ever.5769
41 If518 I whet8150 my glittering1300 sword,2719 and my hand3027 take270 hold270 on judgment;4941 I will render7725 vengeance5359 to my enemies,6862 and will reward7999 them that hate8130 me.
42 I will make my arrows2671 drunk7937 with blood,1818 and my sword2719 shall devour398 flesh;1320 and that with the blood1818 of the slain2491 and of the captives,7633 from the beginning7218 of revenges6546 on the enemy.341
43 Rejoice,7442 O you nations,1471 with his people:5971 for he will avenge5358 the blood1818 of his servants,5650 and will render7725 vengeance5359 to his adversaries,6862 and will be merciful3722 to his land,127 and to his people.5971
44 And Moses4872 came935 and spoke1696 all3605 the words1697 of this2063 song7892 in the ears241 of the people,5971 he, and Hoshea1954 the son1121 of Nun.5126
45 And Moses4872 made an end3615 of speaking1696 all3605 these428 words1697 to all3605 Israel:3478
46 And he said559 to them, Set7760 your hearts3824 to all3605 the words1697 which834 I testify5749 among you this2063 day,3117 which834 you shall command6680 your children1121 to observe8104 to do,6213 all3605 the words1697 of this2063 law.8451
47 For it is not a vain7386 thing1697 for you; because3588 it is your life:2416 and through this2088 thing1697 you shall prolong748 your days3117 in the land,127 where834 8033 you go5674 over5674 Jordan3383 to possess3423 it.
48 And the LORD3068 spoke1696 to Moses4872 that selfsame2088 6106 day,3117 saying,559
49 Get5927 you up into413 this2088 mountain2022 Abarim,5682 to mount2022 Nebo,5015 which834 is in the land776 of Moab,4124 that is over5921 6440 against6440 Jericho;3405 and behold7200 the land776 of Canaan,3667 which834 I give5414 to the children1121 of Israel3478 for a possession:272
50 And die4191 in the mount2022 where834 8033 you go5927 up, and be gathered622 to your people;5971 as Aaron175 your brother251 died4191 in mount2022 Hor,2023 and was gathered622 to his people:5971
51 Because5921 834 you trespassed4603 against me among8432 the children1121 of Israel3478 at the waters4325 of MeribahKadesh,4809 6946 in the wilderness of4057 Zin; because6790 you5921 834 sanctified me6942 not in the middle of8432 the children of1121 Israel.
52 Yet3588 you shall see7200 the land776 before5048 you; but you shall not go935 thither8033 to the land776 which834 I give5414 the children1121 of Israel.3478
1 And this2063 is the blessing,1293 with which834 Moses4872 the man376 of God430 blessed1288 the children1121 of Israel3478 before6440 his death.4194
2 And he said,559 The LORD3068 came935 from Sinai,5514 and rose2224 up from Seir8165 to them; he shined3313 forth from mount2022 Paran,6290 and he came857 with ten7233 thousands7233 of saints:6944 from his right3225 hand3225 went a fiery799 law1881 for them.
3 Yes,637 he loved2245 the people;5971 all3605 his saints6918 are in your hand:3027 and they sat8497 down8497 at your feet;7272 every one shall receive5375 of your words.1703
4 Moses4872 commanded6680 us a law,8451 even the inheritance4181 of the congregation6952 of Jacob.3290
5 And he was king4428 in Jeshurun,3484 when the heads7218 of the people5971 and the tribes7626 of Israel3478 were gathered622 together.3162
6 Let Reuben7205 live,2421 and not die;4191 and let not his men4962 be few.4557
7 And this2063 is the blessing of Judah:3063 and he said,559 Hear,8085 LORD,3068 the voice6963 of Judah,3063 and bring935 him to his people:5971 let his hands3027 be sufficient7227 for him; and be you an help5828 to him from his enemies.6862
8 And of Levi3878 he said,559 Let your Thummim8550 and your Urim224 be with your holy2623 one, whom834 you did prove5254 at5921 Massah,4532 and with whom you did strive7378 at the waters4325 of Meribah;4809
9 Who said559 to his father1 and to his mother,517 I have not seen7200 him; neither3808 did he acknowledge5234 his brothers,251 nor3808 knew3045 his own children:1121 for they have observed8104 your word,565 and kept5341 your covenant.1285
10 They shall teach3384 Jacob3290 your judgments,4941 and Israel3478 your law:8451 they shall put7760 incense7004 before639 you, and whole3632 burnt3632 sacrifice on your altar.4196
11 Bless,1288 LORD,3068 his substance,3426 and accept7521 the work6467 of his hands;3027 smite4272 through the loins4975 of them that rise6965 against him, and of them that hate8130 him, that they rise6965 not again.
12 And of Benjamin1144 he said,559 The beloved3039 of the LORD3068 shall dwell7931 in safety983 by him; and the Lord shall cover2645 him all3605 the day3117 long, and he shall dwell7931 between996 his shoulders.3802
13 And of Joseph3130 he said,559 Blessed1288 of the LORD3068 be his land,776 for the precious4022 things of heaven,8064 for the dew,2919 and for the deep8415 that coucheth7257 beneath,8478
14 And for the precious4022 fruits8393 brought forth by the sun,8121 and for the precious4022 things put1645 forth1645 by the moon,3391
15 And for the chief7218 things of the ancient6924 mountains,2042 and for the precious4022 things of the lasting5769 hills,1389
16 And for the precious4022 things of the earth776 and fullness4393 thereof, and for the good7522 will7522 of him that dwelled7931 in the bush:5572 let the blessing come935 on the head7218 of Joseph,3130 and on the top6936 of the head6936 of him that was separated5139 from his brothers.251
17 His glory1926 is like the firstling1060 of his bullock,7794 and his horns7161 are like the horns7161 of unicorns:7214 with them he shall push5055 the people5971 together3162 to the ends657 of the earth:776 and they are the ten7233 thousands7233 of Ephraim,669 and they are the thousands505 of Manasseh.4519
18 And of Zebulun2074 he said,559 Rejoice,8055 Zebulun,2074 in your going3318 out; and, Issachar,3485 in your tents.168
19 They shall call7121 the people5971 to the mountain;2022 there8033 they shall offer2076 sacrifices2077 of righteousness:6664 for they shall suck3243 of the abundance8228 of the seas,3220 and of treasures8226 hid2934 in the sand.2344
20 And of Gad1410 he said,559 Blessed1288 be he that enlarges7337 Gad:1410 he dwells7931 as a lion,3833 and tears2963 the arm2220 with the crown6936 of the head.6936
21 And he provided7200 the first7225 part for himself, because3588 there,8033 in a portion2513 of the lawgiver,2710 was he seated;5603 and he came857 with the heads7218 of the people,5971 he executed6213 the justice6666 of the LORD,3068 and his judgments4941 with Israel.3478
22 And of Dan1835 he said,559 Dan1835 is a lion's738 whelp:1482 he shall leap2187 from Bashan.1316
23 And of Naphtali5321 he said,559 O Naphtali,5321 satisfied7649 with favor,7522 and full4392 with the blessing1293 of the LORD:3068 possess3423 you the west3220 and the south.1864
24 And of Asher836 he said,559 Let Asher836 be blessed1288 with children;1121 let him be acceptable7522 to his brothers,251 and let him dip2881 his foot7272 in oil.8081
25 Your shoes4515 shall be iron1270 and brass;5178 and as your days,3117 so shall your strength1679 be.
26 There is none369 like to the God410 of Jeshurun,3484 who rides7392 on the heaven8064 in your help,5828 and in his excellency1346 on the sky.7834
27 The eternal6924 God430 is your refuge,4585 and underneath8478 are the everlasting5769 arms:2220 and he shall thrust1644 out the enemy341 from before6440 you; and shall say,559 Destroy8045 them.
28 Israel3478 then shall dwell7931 in safety983 alone:909 the fountain5869 of Jacob3290 shall be on a land776 of corn1715 and wine;8492 also637 his heavens8064 shall drop6201 down6201 dew.2919
29 Happy835 are you, O Israel:3478 who4310 is like3644 to you, O people5971 saved3467 by the LORD,3068 the shield4043 of your help,5828 and who834 is the sword2719 of your excellency!1346 and your enemies341 shall be found liars3584 to you; and you shall tread1869 on their high1116 places.
1 And Moses4872 went5927 up from the plains6160 of Moab4124 to the mountain2022 of Nebo,5015 to the top7218 of Pisgah,6449 that is over5921 6440 against6440 Jericho.3405 And the LORD3068 showed7200 him all3605 the land776 of Gilead,1568 to Dan,1835
2 And all3605 Naphtali,5321 and the land776 of Ephraim,669 and Manasseh,4519 and all3605 the land776 of Judah,3063 to the utmost314 sea,3220
3 And the south,5045 and the plain3603 of the valley1237 of Jericho,3405 the city5892 of palm8558 trees, to Zoar.6820
4 And the LORD3068 said559 to him, This2063 is the land776 which834 I swore7650 to Abraham,85 to Isaac,3327 and to Jacob,3290 saying,559 I will give5414 it to your seed:2233 I have caused you to see7200 it with your eyes,5869 but you shall not go5674 over5674 thither.8033
5 So Moses4872 the servant5650 of the LORD3068 died4191 there8033 in the land776 of Moab,4124 according5921 to the word6310 of the LORD.3068
6 And he buried6912 him in a valley1516 in the land776 of Moab,4124 over4136 against4136 Bethpeor:1047 but no3808 man376 knows3045 of his sepulcher6900 to this2088 day.3117
7 And Moses4872 was an hundred3967 and twenty6242 years8141 old1121 when he died:4194 his eye5869 was not dim,3543 nor3808 his natural3893 force3893 abated.5127
8 And the children1121 of Israel3478 wept1058 for Moses4872 in the plains6160 of Moab4124 thirty7970 days:3117 so the days3117 of weeping1065 and mourning60 for Moses4872 were ended.8552
9 And Joshua3091 the son1121 of Nun5126 was full4392 of the spirit7307 of wisdom;2451 for Moses4872 had laid5564 his hands3027 on him: and the children1121 of Israel3478 listened8085 to him, and did6213 as the LORD3068 commanded6680 Moses.4872
10 And there arose6965 not a prophet5030 since5750 in Israel3478 like to Moses,4872 whom834 the LORD3068 knew3045 face6440 to face,6440
11 In all3605 the signs226 and the wonders,4159 which834 the LORD3068 sent7971 him to do6213 in the land776 of Egypt4714 to Pharaoh,6547 and to all3605 his servants,5650 and to all3605 his land,776
12 And in all3605 that mighty2389 hand,3027 and in all3605 the great1419 terror4172 which834 Moses4872 showed6213 in the sight5869 of all3605 Israel.3478
