1 These are the words 01697 which Moses 04872 spoke 01696 to all Israel 03478 on the east side 05676 of Jordan 03383 in the wilderness 04057, in the plain 06160 opposite 04136 Zuph 05489, between Paran 06290, and Tophel 08603, and Laban 03837, and Hazeroth 02698, and Dizahab 01774. the Red…: or, Zuph

2 (There are eleven 0259, 6240 days 03117’ journey from Horeb 02722 by the way 01870 of mount 02022 Seir 08165 to Kadeshbarnea 06947.)

3 And it came to pass in the fortieth 0705 year 08141, in the eleventh 06249, 6240 month 02320, on the first 0259 day of the month 02320, that Moses 04872 spoke 01696 to the children 01121 of Israel 03478, according to all that the LORD 03068 had given him in commandment 06680 to them;

4 After 0310 he had slain 05221 Sihon 05511 the king 04428 of the Amorites 0567, who dwelt 03427 in Heshbon 02809, and Og 05747 the king 04428 of Bashan 01316, who dwelt 03427 at Astaroth 06252 in Edrei 0154:

5 On the east side 05676 of Jordan 03383, in the land 0776 of Moab 04124, began 02974 Moses 04872 to declare 0874 this law 08451, saying 0559,

6 The LORD 03068 our God 0430 spoke 01696 to us in Horeb 02722, saying 0559, Ye have dwelt 03427 long enough 07227 in this mount 02022:

7 Turn 06437, and take your journey 05265, and go 0935 to the mount 02022 of the Amorites 0567, and to all the places near 07934 to it, in the plain 06160, on the hills 02022, and in the vale 08219, and in the south 05045, and by the sea 03220 side 02348, to the land 0776 of the Canaanites 03669, and to Lebanon 03844, to the great 01419 river 05104, the river 05104 Euphrates 06578. all…: Heb. all his neighbours

8 Behold 07200, I have set 05414 the land 0776 before 06440 you: go 0935 in and possess 03423 the land 0776 which the LORD 03068 swore 07650 to your fathers 01, Abraham 085, Isaac 03327, and Jacob 03290, to give 05414 to them and to their seed 02233 after 0310 them. set: Heb. given

9 And I spoke 0559 to you at that time 06256, saying 0559, I am not able 03201 to bear 05375 you myself alone 0905:

10 The LORD 03068 your God 0430 hath multiplied 07235 you, and, behold, ye are this day 03117 as the stars 03556 of heaven 08064 for multitude 07230.

11 (The LORD 03068 God 0430 of your fathers 01 make you a thousand 0505 times 06471 so many more as 03254 ye are, and bless 01288 you, as he hath promised 01696 you!)

12 How 0349 can I alone bear 05375 your weight 02960, and your burden 04853, and your strife 07379?

13 Take 03051 for yourselves wise 02450 men 0582, and understanding 0995, and known 03045 among your tribes 07626, and I will make 07760 them rulers 07218 over you. Take: Heb. Give

14 And ye answered 06030 me, and said 0559, The thing 01697 which thou hast spoken 01696 is good 02896 for us to do 06213.

15 So I took 03947 the heads 07218 of your tribes 07626, wise 02450 men 0582, and known 03045, and made 05414 them heads 07218 over you, captains 08269 over thousands 0505, and captains 08269 over hundreds 03967, and captains 08269 over fifties 02572, and captains 08269 over tens 06235, and officers 07860 among your tribes 07626. made: Heb. gave

16 And I charged 06680 your judges 08199 at that time 06256, saying 0559, Hear 08085 the causes between your brethren 0251, and judge 08199 righteously 06664 between every man 0376 and his brother 0251, and the stranger 01616 that is with him.

17 Ye shall not respect 05234 persons 06440 in judgment 04941; but ye shall hear 08085 the small 06996 as well as the great 01419; ye shall not be afraid 01481 of the face 06440 of man 0376; for the judgment 04941 is God’s 0430: and the cause 01697 that is too hard 07185 for you, bring 07126 to me, and I will hear 08085 it. respect…: Heb. acknowledge faces

18 And I commanded 06680 you at that time 06256 all the things 01697 which ye should do 06213.

19 And when we departed 05265 from Horeb 02722, we went through 03212 all that great 01419 and terrible 03372 wilderness 04057, which ye saw 07200 by the way 01870 of the mountain 02022 of the Amorites 0567, as the LORD 03068 our God 0430 commanded 06680 us; and we came 0935 to Kadeshbarnea 06947.

20 And I said 0559 to you, Ye have come 0935 to the mountain 02022 of the Amorites 0567, which the LORD 03068 our God 0430 doth give 05414 to us.

21 Behold 07200, the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath set 05414 the land 0776 before 06440 thee: go up 05927 and possess 03423 it, as the LORD 03068 God 0430 of thy fathers 01 hath said 01696 to thee; fear 03372 not, neither be discouraged 02865.

22 And ye came near 07126 to me each one of you, and said 0559, We will send 07971 men 0582 before 06440 us, and they shall search us out 02658 the land 0776 for us, and bring 07725 us word 01697 again 07725 by what way 01870 we must go up 05927, and into what cities 05892 we shall come 0935.

23 And the saying 01697 pleased me well 03190, 5869: and I took 03947 twelve 08147, 6240 men 0582 of you, one 0259 of a tribe 0376, 7626:

24 And they turned 06437 and went up 05927 to the mountain 02022, and came 0935 to the valley 05158 of Eshcol 0812, and searched it out 07270.

25 And they took 03947 of the fruit 06529 of the land 0776 in their hands 03027, and brought it down 03381 to us, and brought 07725 us word 01697 again 07725, and said 0559, It is a good 02896 land 0776 which the LORD 03068 our God 0430 doth give 05414 us.

26 However ye would 014 not go up 05927, but rebelled 04784 against the commandment 06310 of the LORD 03068 your God 0430:

27 And ye murmured 07279 in your tents 0168, and said 0559, Because the LORD 03068 hated 08135 us, he hath brought us forth 03318 from the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, to deliver 05414 us into the hand 03027 of the Amorites 0567, to destroy 08045 us.

28 Where can we go up 05927? our brethren 0251 have discouraged 04549 our heart 03824, saying 0559, The people 05971 are greater 01419 and taller 07311 than we; the cities 05892 are great 01419 and walled up 01219 to heaven 08064; and moreover we have seen 07200 the sons 01121 of the Anakims 06062 there. discouraged: Heb. melted

29 Then I said 0559 to you, Dread 06206 not, neither be afraid 03372 of them.

30 The LORD 03068 your God 0430 who goeth 01980 before 06440 you, he shall fight 03898 for you, according to all that he did 06213 for you in Egypt 04714 before your eyes 05869;

31 And in the wilderness 04057, where thou hast seen 07200 how the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 bore 05375 thee, as a man 0376 doth bear 05375 his son 01121, in all the way 01870 that ye went 01980, until ye came 0935 into this place 04725.

32 Yet in this thing 01697 ye did not believe 0539 the LORD 03068 your God 0430,

33 Who went 01980 in the way 01870 before 06440 you, to search out 08446 for you a place 04725 to pitch your tents 02583 in, in fire 0784 by night 03915, to show 07200 you by what way 01870 ye should go 03212, and in a cloud 06051 by day 03119.

34 And the LORD 03068 heard 08085 the voice 06963 of your words 01697, and was angry 07107, and swore 07650, saying 0559,

35 Surely there shall not one 0376 of these men 0582 of this evil 07451 generation 01755 see 07200 that good 02896 land 0776, which I swore 07650 to give 05414 to your fathers 01,

36 Except 02108 Caleb 03612 the son 01121 of Jephunneh 03312; he shall see 07200 it, and to him will I give 05414 the land 0776 that 0834 he hath walked upon 01869, and to his children 01121, because he hath wholly 04390 followed 0310 the LORD 03068. wholly…: Heb. fulfilled to go after

37 Also the LORD 03068 was angry 0599 with me for your sakes 01558, saying 0559, Thou also shalt not go 0935 in there 08033.

38 But Joshua 03091 the son 01121 of Nun 05126, who standeth 05975 before 06440 thee, he shall go in 0935 there: encourage 02388 him: for he shall cause Israel 03478 to inherit 05157 it.

39 Moreover your little ones 02945, which ye said 0559 should be a prey 0957, and your children 01121, which in that day 03117 had no knowledge 03045 between good 02896 and evil 07451, they shall go in 0935 there, and to them will I give 05414 it, and they shall possess 03423 it.

40 But as for you, turn 06437, and take your journey 05265 into the wilderness 04057 by the way 01870 of the Red 05488 sea 03220.

41 Then ye answered 06030 and said 0559 to me, We have sinned 02398 against the LORD 03068, we will go up 05927 and fight 03898, according to all that the LORD 03068 our God 0430 commanded 06680 us. And when ye had girded 02296 on every man 0376 his weapons 03627 of war 04421, ye were ready 01951 to go up 05927 to the hill 02022.

42 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to me, Say 0559 to them, Go not up 05927, neither fight 03898; for I am not among 07130 you; lest ye be smitten 05062 before 06440 your enemies 0341.

43 So I spoke 01696 to you; and ye would not hear 08085, but rebelled 04784 against the commandment 06310 of the LORD 03068, and went 05927 presumptuously 02102 up 05927 to the hill 02022. went…: Heb. ye were presumptuous, and went up

44 And the Amorites 0567, who dwelt 03427 on that mountain 02022, came out 03318 against 07125 you, and chased 07291 you, as bees 01682 do 06213, and destroyed 03807 you in Seir 08165, even to Hormah 02767.

45 And ye returned 07725 and wept 01058 before 06440 the LORD 03068; but the LORD 03068 would not hearken 08085 to your voice 06963, nor give ear 0238 to you.

46 So ye abode 03427 in Kadesh 06946 many 07227 days 03117, according to the days 03117 that ye abode 03427 there.

2

1 Then we turned 06437, and took our journey 05265 into the wilderness 04057 by the way 01870 of the Red 05488 sea 03220, as the LORD 03068 spoke 01696 to me: and we went around 05437 mount 02022 Seir 08165 many 07227 days 03117.

2 And the LORD 03068 spoke 0559 to me, saying 0559,

3 Ye have gone around 05437 this mountain 02022 long enough 07227: turn 06437 northward 06828.

4 And command 06680 thou the people 05971, saying 0559, Ye are to pass 05674 through the land 01366 of your brethren 0251 the children 01121 of Esau 06215, who dwell 03427 in Seir 08165; and they shall be afraid 03372 of you: therefore take ye good 03966 heed 08104 to yourselves:

5 Meddle 01624 not with them; for I will not give 05414 you of their land 0776, no, not so much as a foot 07272 breadth 04096, 3709; because I have given 05414 mount 02022 Seir 08165 to Esau 06215 for a possession 03425. no…: Heb. even to the treading of the sole of the foot

6 Ye shall buy 07666 food 0400 of them for money 03701, that ye may eat 0398; and ye shall also buy 03739 water 04325 of them for money 03701, that ye may drink 08354.

7 For the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath blessed 01288 thee in all the works 04639 of thy hand 03027: he knoweth 03045 thy walking 03212 through this great 01419 wilderness 04057: these forty 0705 years 08141 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath been with thee; thou hast lacked 02637 nothing 01697.

8 And when we passed 05674 by from our brethren 0251 the children 01121 of Esau 06215, who dwelt 03427 in Seir 08165, through the way 01870 of the plain 06160 from Elath 0359, and from Eziongaber 06100, we turned 06437 and passed 05674 by the way 01870 of the wilderness 04057 of Moab 04124.

9 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to me, Distress 06696 not the Moabites 04124, neither contend 01624 with them in battle 04421: for I will not give 05414 thee of their land 0776 for a possession 03425; because I have given 05414 Ar 06144 to the children 01121 of Lot 03876 for a possession 03425. Distress…: or, Use no hostility against Moab

10 The Emims 0368 dwelt 03427 in it in times past 06440, a people 05971 great 01419, and many 07227, and tall 07311, as the Anakims 06062;

11 Who 01992 also were accounted 02803 giants 07497, as the Anakims 06062; but the Moabites 04125 call 07121 them Emims 0368.

12 The Horims 02752 also dwelt 03427 in Seir 08165 in times past 06440; but the children 01121 of Esau 06215 succeeded 03423 them, when they had destroyed 08045 them from before 06440 them, and dwelt 03427 in their stead; as Israel 03478 did 06213 to the land 0776 of his possession 03425, which the LORD 03068 gave 05414 to them. succeeded: Heb. inheritedstead: or, room

13 Now rise 06965, said I, and pass over 05674 the brook 05158 Zered 02218. And we went over 05674 the brook 05158 Zered 02218. brook: or, valley

14 And the space 03117 in which we came 01980 from Kadeshbarnea 06947, until we passed 05674 the brook 05158 Zered 02218, was thirty 07970 and eight 08083 years 08141; until all the generation 01755 of the men 0582 of war 04421 were consumed 08552 from among 07130 the host 04264, as the LORD 03068 swore 07650 to them. brook: or, valley

15 For indeed the hand 03027 of the LORD 03068 was against them, to destroy 02000 them from among 07130 the host 04264, until they were consumed 08552.

16 So it came to pass, when all the men 0582 of war 04421 were consumed 08552 and dead 04191 from among 07130 the people 05971,

17 That the LORD 03068 spoke 01696 to me, saying 0559,

18 Thou art to pass over 05674 through Ar 06144, the border 01366 of Moab 04124, this day 03117:

19 And when thou comest near 07126, 4136 the children 01121 of Ammon 05983, distress 06696 them not, nor meddle 01624 with them: for I will not give 05414 thee of the land 0776 of the children 01121 of Ammon 05983 any possession 03425; because I have given 05414 it to the children 01121 of Lot 03876 for a possession 03425.

20 (That also was accounted 02803 a land 0776 of giants 07497: giants 07497 dwelt 03427 there in times past 06440; and the Ammonites 05984 call 07121 them Zamzummims 02157; Zamzummims: also called, Zuzims

21 A people 05971 great 01419, and many 07227, and tall 07311, as the Anakims 06062; but the LORD 03068 destroyed 08045 them before 06440 them; and they succeeded 03423 them, and dwelt 03427 in their stead:

22 As he did 06213 to the children 01121 of Esau 06215, who dwelt 03427 in Seir 08165, when he destroyed 08045 the Horims 02752 from before 06440 them; and they succeeded 03423 them, and dwelt 03427 in their stead even to this day 03117:

23 And the Avims 05761 who dwelt 03427 in Hazerim 02699, even to Azzah 05804, the Caphtorims 03732, who came forth 03318 from Caphtor 03731, destroyed 08045 them, and dwelt 03427 in their stead.)

24 Arise ye 06965, take your journey 05265, and pass over 05674 the river 05158 Arnon 0769: behold 07200, I have given 05414 into thy hand 03027 Sihon 05511 the Amorite 0567, king 04428 of Heshbon 02809, and his land 0776: begin 02490 to possess 03423 it, and contend 01624 with him in battle 04421. begin…: Heb. begin, possess

25 This day 03117 will I begin 02490 to put 05414 the dread 06343 of thee and the fear 03374 of thee upon the nations 06440, 5971 that are under the whole heaven 08064, who shall hear 08085 report 08088 of thee, and shall tremble 07264, and be in anguish 02342 because of thee 06440.

26 And I sent 07971 messengers 04397 from the wilderness 04057 of Kedemoth 06932 to Sihon 05511 king 04428 of Heshbon 02809 with words 01697 of peace 07965, saying 0559,

27 Let me pass 05674 through thy land 0776: I will go 03212 along by the highway 01870, 1870, I will neither turn 05493 to the right hand 03225 nor to the left 08040.

28 Thou shalt sell 07666 me food 0400 for money 03701, that I may eat 0398; and give 05414 me water 04325 for money 03701, that I may drink 08354: only I will pass through 05674 on my feet 07272;

29 (As the children 01121 of Esau 06215 who dwell 03427 in Seir 08165, and the Moabites 04125 who dwell 03427 in Ar 06144, did 06213 to me;) until I shall pass over 05674 Jordan 03383 into the land 0776 which the LORD 03068 our God 0430 giveth 05414 us.

30 But Sihon 05511 king 04428 of Heshbon 02809 would 014 not let us pass 05674 by him: for the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hardened 07185 his spirit 07307, and made his heart 03824 obstinate 0553, that he might deliver 05414 him into thy hand 03027, as appeareth this day 03117.

31 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to me, Behold 07200, I have begun 02490 to give 05414 Sihon 05511 and his land 0776 before 06440 thee: begin 02490 to possess 03423, that thou mayest inherit 03423 his land 0776.

32 Then Sihon 05511 came out 03318 against 07125 us, he and all his people 05971, to fight 04421 at Jahaz 03096.

33 And the LORD 03068 our God 0430 delivered 05414 him before 06440 us; and we smote 05221 him, and his sons 01121, and all his people 05971.

34 And we took 03920 all his cities 05892 at that time 06256, and utterly destroyed 02763 the men 04962, and the women 0802, and the little ones 02945, of every city 05892, we left 07604 none to remain 08300: the men…: Heb. every city of men, and women, and little ones

35 Only the cattle 0929 we took for a prey 0962 to ourselves, and the spoil 07998 of the cities 05892 which we took 03920.

36 From Aroer 06177, which is by the brink 08193 of the river 05158 of Arnon 0769, and from the city 05892 that is by the river 05158, even to Gilead 01568, there was not one city 07151 too strong 07682 for us: the LORD 03068 our God 0430 delivered 05414 all to us 06440:

37 Only to the land 0776 of the children 01121 of Ammon 05983 thou camest 07126 not, nor to any place 03027 of the river 05158 Jabbok 02999, nor to the cities 05892 on the mountains 02022, nor to whatever the LORD 03068 our God 0430 forbad 06680 us.

1 Then we turned 06437, and went up 05927 the way 01870 to Bashan 01316: and Og 05747 the king 04428 of Bashan 01316 came out 03318 against 07125 us, he and all his people 05971, to battle 04421 at Edrei 0154.

2 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to me, Fear 03372 him not: for I will deliver 05414 him, and all his people 05971, and his land 0776, into thy hand 03027; and thou shalt do 06213 to him as thou didst 06213 to Sihon 05511 king 04428 of the Amorites 0567, who dwelt 03427 at Heshbon 02809.

3 So the LORD 03068 our God 0430 delivered 05414 into our hands 03027 Og 05747 also, the king 04428 of Bashan 01316, and all his people 05971: and we smote 05221 him until none was left 07604 to him remaining 08300.

4 And we took 03920 all his cities 05892 at that time 06256, there was not a city 07151 which we took 03947 not from them, sixty 08346 cities 05892, all the region 02256 of Argob 0709, the kingdom 04467 of Og 05747 in Bashan 01316.

5 All these cities 05892 were fortified 01219 with high 01364 walls 02346, gates 01817, and bars 01280; besides unwalled 06521 towns 05892 a great 03966 number 07235.

6 And we utterly destroyed 02763 them, as we did 06213 to Sihon 05511 king 04428 of Heshbon 02809, utterly destroying 02763 the men 04962, women 0802, and children 02945, of every city 05892.

7 But all the cattle 0929, and the spoil 07998 of the cities 05892, we took for a prey 0962 to ourselves.

8 And we took 03947 at that time 06256 out 03947 of the hand 03027 of the two 08147 kings 04428 of the Amorites 0567 the land 0776 that was on this side 05676 of Jordan 03383, from the river 05158 of Arnon 0769 to mount 02022 Hermon 02768;

9 (Which Hermon 02768 the Sidonians 06722 call 07121 Sirion 08303; and the Amorites 0567 call 07121 it Shenir 08149;)

10 All the cities 05892 of the plain 04334, and all Gilead 01568, and all Bashan 01316, to Salchah 05548 and Edrei 0154, cities 05892 of the kingdom 04467 of Og 05747 in Bashan 01316.

11 For only Og 05747 king 04428 of Bashan 01316 remained 07604 of the remnant 03499 of giants 07497; behold, his bedstead 06210 was a bedstead 06210 of iron 01270; is it not 03808 in Rabbath 07237 of the children 01121 of Ammon 05983? nine 08672 cubits 0520 was the length 0753 of it, and four 0702 cubits 0520 the breadth 07341 of it, after the cubit 0520 of a man 0376.

12 And this land 0776, which we possessed 03423 at that time 06256, from Aroer 06177, which is by the river 05158 Arnon 0769, and half 02677 mount 02022 Gilead 01568, and its cities 05892, I gave 05414 to the Reubenites 07206 and to the Gadites 01425.

13 And the rest 03499 of Gilead 01568, and all Bashan 01316, being the kingdom 04467 of Og 05747, I gave 05414 to the half 02677 tribe 07626 of Manasseh 04519; all the region 02256 of Argob 0709, with all Bashan 01316, which 01931 was called 07121 the land 0776 of giants 07497.

14 Jair 02971 the son 01121 of Manasseh 04519 took 03947 all the country 02256 of Argob 0709 to the borders 01366 of Geshuri 01651 and Maachathi 04602; and called 07121 them after his own name 08034, Bashanhavothjair 01316, 2334, to this day 03117.

15 And I gave 05414 Gilead 01568 to Machir 04353.

16 And to the Reubenites 07206 and to the Gadites 01425 I gave 05414 from Gilead 01568 even to the river 05158 Arnon 0769 half 08432 the valley 05158, and the border 01366 even to the river 05158 Jabbok 02999, which is the border 01366 of the children 01121 of Ammon 05983;

17 The plain 06160 also, and Jordan 03383, and the border 01366 of it, from Chinnereth 03672 even to the sea 03220 of the plain 06160, even the salt 04417 sea 03220, under Ashdothpisgah 0798, 794 eastward 04217. Ashdothpisgah: or, the springs of Pisgah, or, the hill

18 And I commanded 06680 you at that time 06256, saying 0559, The LORD 03068 your God 0430 hath given 05414 you this land 0776 to possess 03423 it: ye shall pass over 05674 armed 02502 before 06440 your brethren 0251 the children 01121 of Israel 03478, all that are fit 01121 for the war 02428. meet…: Heb. sons of power

19 But your wives 0802, and your little ones 02945, and your cattle 04735, (for I know 03045 that ye have many 07227 cattle 04735,) shall abide 03427 in your cities 05892 which I have given 05414 you;

20 Until the LORD 03068 shall have given rest 05117 to your brethren 0251, as well as to you, and until they also possess 03423 the land 0776 which the LORD 03068 your God 0430 hath given 05414 them beyond 05676 Jordan 03383: and then shall ye return 07725 every man 0376 to his possession 03425, which I have given 05414 you.

21 And I commanded 06680 Joshua 03091 at that time 06256, saying 0559, Thy eyes 05869 have seen 07200 all that the LORD 03068 your God 0430 hath done 06213 to these two 08147 kings 04428: so shall the LORD 03068 do 06213 to all the kingdoms 04467 where thou passest 05674.

22 Ye shall not fear 03372 them: for the LORD 03068 your God 0430 he shall fight 03898 for you.

23 And I besought 02603 the LORD 03068 at that time 06256, saying 0559,

24 O Lord 0136 GOD 03069, thou hast begun 02490 to show 07200 thy servant 05650 thy greatness 01433, and thy mighty 02389 hand 03027: for what God 0410 is there in heaven 08064 or in earth 0776, that can do 06213 according to thy works 04639, and according to thy might 01369?

25 I pray thee, let me go over 05674, and see 07200 the good 02896 land 0776 that is beyond 05676 Jordan 03383, that goodly 02896 mountain 02022, and Lebanon 03844.

26 But the LORD 03068 was angry 05674 with me for your sakes, and would not hear 08085 me: and the LORD 03068 said 0559 to me, Let it suffice 07227 thee; speak 01696 no more 03254 to me of this matter 01697.

27 Go up 05927 to the top 07218 of Pisgah 06449, and lift up 05375 thy eyes 05869 westward 03220, and northward 06828, and southward 08486, and eastward 04217, and behold 07200 with thy eyes 05869: for thou shalt not go over 05674 this Jordan 03383. Pisgah: or, the hill

28 But charge 06680 Joshua 03091, and encourage 02388 him, and strengthen 0553 him: for he shall go over 05674 before 06440 this people 05971, and he shall cause them to inherit 05157 the land 0776 which thou shalt see 07200.

29 So we abode 03427 in the valley 01516 opposite 04136 Bethpeor 01047.

1 Now therefore hearken 08085, O Israel 03478, to the statutes 02706 and to the judgments 04941, which I teach 03925 you, to do 06213 them, that ye may live 02421, and go in 0935 and possess 03423 the land 0776 which the LORD 03068 God 0430 of your fathers 01 giveth 05414 you.

2 Ye shall not add 03254 to the word 01697 which I command 06680 you, neither shall ye diminish 01639 any thing from it, that ye may keep 08104 the commandments 04687 of the LORD 03068 your God 0430 which I command 06680 you.

3 Your eyes 05869 have seen 07200 what the LORD 03068 did 06213 because of Baalpeor 01187: for all the men 0376 that followed 0310, 1980 Baalpeor 01187, the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath destroyed 08045 them from among 07130 you.

4 But ye who held fast 01695 to the LORD 03068 your God 0430 are alive 02416 each one of you this day 03117.

5 Behold 07200, I have taught 03925 you statutes 02706 and judgments 04941, even as 0834 the LORD 03068 my God 0430 commanded 06680 me, that ye should do 06213 so in 07130 the land 0776 where ye go 0935 to possess 03423 it.

6 Keep 08104 therefore and do 06213 them; for this is your wisdom 02451 and your understanding 0998 in the sight 05869 of the nations 05971, which shall hear 08085 all these statutes 02706, and say 0559, Surely this great 01419 nation 01471 is a wise 02450 and understanding 0995 people 05971.

7 For what nation 01471 is there so great 01419, which hath God 0430 so near 07138 to them, as the LORD 03068 our God 0430 is in all things that we call 07121 upon him for?

8 And what nation 01471 is there so great 01419, that hath statutes 02706 and judgments 04941 so righteous 06662 as all this law 08451, which I set 05414 before 06440 you this day 03117?

9 Only take heed 08104 to thyself, and keep 08104 thy soul 05315 diligently 03966, lest thou shouldest forget 07911 the things 01697 which thy eyes 05869 have seen 07200, and lest they depart 05493 from thy heart 03824 all the days 03117 of thy life 02416: but teach 03045 them to thy sons 01121, and thy sons 01121’ sons 01121;

10 Especially the day 03117 that thou stoodest 05975 before 06440 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 in Horeb 02722, when the LORD 03068 said 0559 to me, Gather 06950 the people 05971 to me, and I will make them hear 08085 my words 01697, that they may learn 03925 to fear 03372 me all the days 03117 that they shall live 02416 upon the earth 0127, and that they may teach 03925 their children 01121.

11 And ye came near 07126 and stood 05975 under the mountain 02022; and the mountain 02022 burned 01197 with fire 0784 to the midst 03820 of heaven 08064, with darkness 06205, clouds 06051, and thick darkness 02822. midst: Heb. heart

12 And the LORD 03068 spoke 01696 to you out of the midst 08432 of the fire 0784: ye heard 08085 the voice 06963 of the words 01697, but saw 07200 no similitude 08544; only 02108 ye heard a voice 06963. only…: Heb. save a voice

13 And he declared 05046 to you his covenant 01285, which he commanded 06680 you to perform 06213, even ten 06235 commandments 01697; and he wrote 03789 them upon two 08147 tables 03871 of stone 068.

14 And the LORD 03068 commanded 06680 me at that time 06256 to teach 03925 you statutes 02706 and judgments 04941, that ye might do 06213 them in the land 0776 where ye go over 05674 to possess 03423 it.

15 Take ye therefore good 03966 heed 08104 to yourselves 05315; for ye saw 07200 no manner of similitude 08544 on the day 03117 that the LORD 03068 spoke 01696 to you in Horeb 02722 out of the midst 08432 of the fire 0784:

16 Lest ye corrupt 07843 yourselves, and make 06213 to you a graven image 06459, the similitude 08544 of any figure 05566, the likeness 08403 of male 02145 or female 05347,

17 The likeness 08403 of any beast 0929 that is on the earth 0776, the likeness 08403 of any winged 03671 fowl 06833 that flieth 05774 in the air 08064,

18 The likeness 08403 of any thing that creepeth 07430 on the ground 0127, the likeness 08403 of any fish 01710 that is in the waters 04325 beneath 08478 the earth 0776:

19 And lest thou shouldest lift up 05375 thy eyes 05869 to heaven 08064, and when thou seest 07200 the sun 08121, and the moon 03394, and the stars 03556, even all the host 06635 of heaven 08064, shouldest be driven 05080 to worship 07812 them, and serve 05647 them, which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath divided 02505 to all nations 05971 under the whole heaven 08064. divided: or, imparted

20 But the LORD 03068 hath taken 03947 you, and brought you 03318 out of the iron 01270 furnace 03564, even from Egypt 04714, to be to him a people 05971 of inheritance 05159, as ye are this day 03117.

21 Furthermore the LORD 03068 was angry 0599 with me for your sakes 01697, and swore 07650 that I should not go over 05674 Jordan 03383, and that I should not enter 0935 that good 02896 land 0776, which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 giveth 05414 thee for an inheritance 05159:

22 But I must die 04191 in this land 0776, I must not go over 05674 Jordan 03383: but ye shall go over 05674, and possess 03423 that good 02896 land 0776.

23 Take heed 08104 to yourselves, lest ye forget 07911 the covenant 01285 of the LORD 03068 your God 0430, which he made 03772 with you, and make 06213 you a graven image 06459, or the likeness 08544 of any 03605 thing, which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath forbidden 06680 thee.

24 For the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 is a consuming 0398 fire 0784, even a jealous 07067 God 0410.

25 When thou shalt beget 03205 children 01121, and children’s 01121 children 01121, and ye shall have remained long 03462 in the land 0776, and shall corrupt 07843 yourselves, and make 06213 a graven image 06459, or the likeness 08544 of any thing, and shall do 06213 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, to provoke him to anger 03707:

26 I call 05749 heaven 08064 and earth 0776 to witness 05749 against you this day 03117, that ye shall soon 04118 utterly 06 perish 06 from the land 0776 where ye go over 05674 Jordan 03383 to possess 03423 it; ye shall not prolong 0748 your days 03117 upon it, but shall be utterly 08045 destroyed 08045.

27 And the LORD 03068 shall scatter 06327 you among the nations 05971, and ye shall be left 07604 few 04962 in number 04557 among the heathen 01471, where the LORD 03068 shall lead 05090 you.

28 And there ye shall serve 05647 gods 0430, the work 04639 of men’s 0120 hands 03027, wood 06086 and stone 068, which neither see 07200, nor hear 08085, nor eat 0398, nor smell 07306.

29 But if from there thou shalt seek 01245 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, thou shalt find 04672 him, if thou shalt seek 01875 him with all thy heart 03824 and with all thy soul 05315.

30 When thou art in tribulation 06862, and all these things 01697 have come 04672 upon thee, even in the latter 0319 days 03117, if thou shalt turn 07725 to the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, and shalt be obedient 08085 to his voice 06963; are…: Heb. have found thee

31 (For the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 is a merciful 07349 God 0410;) he will not forsake 07503 thee, neither destroy 07843 thee, nor forget 07911 the covenant 01285 of thy fathers 01 which he swore 07650 to them.

32 For ask 07592 now of the days 03117 that are past 07223, which were 01961 before 06440 thee, since the day 03117 that God 0430 created 01254 man 0120 upon the earth 0776, and ask from the one side 07097 of heaven 08064 to the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great 01419 thing 01697 is, or hath been heard 08085 like it?

33 Did ever people 05971 hear 08085 the voice 06963 of God 0430 speaking from 01696 the midst 08432 of the fire 0784, as thou hast heard 08085, and live 02421?

34 Or hath God 0430 ever tried 05254 to go 0935 and take 03947 for himself a nation 01471 from the midst 07130 of another nation 01471, by temptations 04531, by signs 0226, and by wonders 04159, and by war 04421, and by a mighty 02389 hand 03027, and by an outstretched 05186 arm 02220, and by great 01419 terrors 04172, according to all that the LORD 03068 your God 0430 did 06213 for you in Egypt 04714 before your eyes 05869?

35 To thee it was shown 07200, that thou mightest know 03045 that the LORD 03068 he is God 0430; there is none 05750 besides him 0905.

36 Out of heaven 08064 he made thee to hear 08085 his voice 06963, that he might instruct 03256 thee: and upon earth 0776 he showed 07200 thee his great 01419 fire 0784; and thou heardest 08085 his words 01697 from the midst 08432 of the fire 0784.

37 And because he loved 0157 thy fathers 01, therefore he chose 0977 their seed 02233 after 0310 them, and brought thee out 03318 of Egypt 04714; in his sight 06440 with his mighty 01419 power 03581;

38 To drive out 03423 nations 01471 from before 06440 thee greater 01419 and mightier 06099 than thou art, to bring 0935 thee in, to give 05414 thee their land 0776 for an inheritance 05159, as it is this day 03117.

39 Know 03045 therefore this day 03117, and consider 07725 it in thy heart 03824, that the LORD 03068 he is God 0430 in heaven 08064 above 04605, and upon the earth 0776 beneath: there is none else.

40 Thou shalt keep 08104 therefore his statutes 02706, and his commandments 04687, which I command 06680 thee this day 03117, that it may be well 03190 with thee, and with thy children 01121 after 0310 thee, and that thou mayest prolong 0748 thy days 03117 upon the earth 0127, which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 giveth 05414 thee, for ever.

41 Then Moses 04872 set apart 0914 three 07969 cities 05892 on the side 05676 of Jordan 03383 toward the sunrising 08121, 4217;

42 That the slayer 07523 might flee 05127 there, who should kill 07523 his neighbour 07453 unintentionally 01097, 1847, and when he had not hated 08130 him in times 08543 past 08032; and that fleeing 05127 to one 0259 of these 0411 cities 05892 he might live 02425:

43 Namely, Bezer 01221 in the wilderness 04057, in the plain 04334 country 0776, of the Reubenites 07206; and Ramoth 07216 in Gilead 01568, of the Gadites 01425; and Golan 01474 in Bashan 01316, of the Manassites 04520.

44 And this is the law 08451 which Moses 04872 set 07760 before 06440 the children 01121 of Israel 03478:

45 These are the testimonies 05713, and the statutes 02706, and the judgments 04941, which Moses 04872 spoke 01696 to the children 01121 of Israel 03478, after they came forth 03318 from Egypt 04714,

46 On the east side 05676 of Jordan 03383, in the valley 01516 opposite 04136 Bethpeor 01047, in the land 0776 of Sihon 05511 king 04428 of the Amorites 0567, who dwelt 03427 at Heshbon 02809, whom Moses 04872 and the children 01121 of Israel 03478 smote 05221, after they had come forth 03318 from Egypt 04714:

47 And they possessed 03423 his land 0776, and the land 0776 of Og 05747 king 04428 of Bashan 01316, two 08147 kings 04428 of the Amorites 0567, who were on the side 05676 of Jordan 03383 toward the sunrising 04217, 8121;

48 From Aroer 06177, which is by the bank 08193 of the river 05158 Arnon 0769, even to mount 02022 Sion 07865, which is Hermon 02768,

49 And all the plain 06160 on the side 05676 of Jordan 03383 eastward 04217, even to the sea 03220 of the plain 06160, under the springs 0794 of Pisgah 06449.

1 And Moses 04872 called 07121 all Israel 03478, and said 0559 to them, Hear 08085, O Israel 03478, the statutes 02706 and judgments 04941 which I speak 01696 in your ears 0241 this day 03117, that ye may learn 03925 them, and keep 08104, and do 06213 them. keep…: Heb. keep to do them

2 The LORD 03068 our God 0430 made 03772 a covenant 01285 with us in Horeb 02722.

3 The LORD 03068 made 03772 not this covenant 01285 with our fathers 01, but with us 0587, even us, who are all of us 0428 here alive 02416 this day 03117.

4 The LORD 03068 talked 01696 with you face 06440 to face 06440 on the mount 02022 from the midst 08432 of the fire 0784,

5 (I stood 05975 between the LORD 03068 and you at that time 06256, to show 05046 you the word 01697 of the LORD 03068: for ye were afraid 03372 by reason 06440 of the fire 0784, and went not up 05927 upon the mount 02022;) saying 0559,

6 I am the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, who brought thee out 03318 of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, from the house 01004 of bondage 05650. bondage: Heb. servants

7 Thou shalt have no other 0312 gods 0430 before 06440 me.

8 Thou shalt not make 06213 for thee any graven image 06459, or any likeness 08544 of any thing that is in heaven 08064 above 04605, or that is on the earth 0776 beneath, or that is in the waters 04325 beneath the earth 0776:

9 Thou shalt not bow down 07812 thyself to them, nor serve 05647 them: for I the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 am a jealous 07067 God 0410, visiting 06485 the iniquity 05771 of the fathers 01 upon the children 01121 to the third 08029 and fourth 07256 generation of them that hate 08130 me,

10 And showing 06213 mercy 02617 to thousands 0505 of them that love 0157 me and keep 08104 my commandments 04687.

11 Thou shalt not take 05375 the name 08034 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 in vain 07723: for the LORD 03068 will not hold him guiltless 05352 that taketh 05375 his name 08034 in vain 07723.

12 Keep 08104 the sabbath 07676 day 03117 to sanctify 06942 it, as the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath commanded 06680 thee.

13 Six 08337 days 03117 thou shalt labour 05647, and do 06213 all thy work 04399:

14 But the seventh 07637 day 03117 is the sabbath 07676 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430: in it thou shalt not do 06213 any work 04399, thou, nor thy son 01121, nor thy daughter 01323, nor thy male servant 05650, nor thy female servant 0519, nor thy ox 07794, nor thy donkey 02543, nor any of thy cattle 0929, nor thy stranger 01616 that is within thy gates 08179; that thy male servant 05650 and thy female servant 0519 may rest 05117 as well as thou.

15 And remember 02142 that thou wast a servant 05650 in the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, and that the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 brought 03318 thee out from there with a mighty 02389 hand 03027 and by an outstretched 05186 arm 02220: therefore the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 commanded 06680 thee to keep 06213 the sabbath 07676 day 03117.

16 Honour 03513 thy father 01 and thy mother 0517, as the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath commanded 06680 thee; that thy days 03117 may be prolonged 0748, and that it may be well 03190 with thee, in the land 0127 which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 giveth 05414 thee.

17 Thou shalt not kill 07523.

18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery 05003.

19 Neither shalt thou steal 01589.

20 Neither shalt thou bear 06030 false 07723 witness 05707 against thy neighbour 07453.

21 Neither shalt thou desire 02530 thy neighbour’s 07453 wife 0802, neither shalt thou covet 0183 thy neighbour’s 07453 house 01004, his field 07704, or his male servant 05650, or his female servant 0519, his ox 07794, or his donkey 02543, or any thing that is thy neighbour’s 07453.

22 These words 01697 the LORD 03068 spoke 01696 to all your assembly 06951 on the mount 02022 from the midst 08432 of the fire 0784, of the cloud 06051, and of the thick darkness 06205, with a great 01419 voice 06963: and he added no more 03254. And he wrote 03789 them in two 08147 tables 03871 of stone 068, and delivered 05414 them to me.

23 And it came to pass, when ye heard 08085 the voice 06963 from the midst 08432 of the darkness 02822, (for the mountain 02022 did burn 01197 with fire 0784,) that ye came near 07126 to me, even all the heads 07218 of your tribes 07626, and your elders 02205;

24 And ye said 0559, Behold, the LORD 03068 our God 0430 hath shown 07200 us his glory 03519 and his greatness 01433, and we have heard 08085 his voice 06963 from the midst 08432 of the fire 0784: we have seen 07200 this day 03117 that God 0430 doth talk 01696 with man 0120, and he liveth 02425.

25 Now therefore why should we die 04191? for this great 01419 fire 0784 will consume 0398 us: if we hear 08085 the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068 our God 0430 any more 03254, then we shall die 04191. hear: Heb. add to hear

26 For who is there of all flesh 01320, that hath heard 08085 the voice 06963 of the living 02416 God 0430 speaking 01696 out of the midst 08432 of the fire 0784, as we have, and lived 02421?

27 Go thou near 07126, and hear 08085 all that the LORD 03068 our God 0430 shall say 0559: and speak 01696 thou to us all that the LORD 03068 our God 0430 shall speak 01696 to thee; and we will hear 08085 it, and do 06213 it.

28 And the LORD 03068 heard 08085 the voice 06963 of your words 01697, when ye spoke 01696 to me; and the LORD 03068 said 0559 to me, I have heard 08085 the voice 06963 of the words 01697 of this people 05971, which they have spoke 01696 to thee: they have well 03190 said all that they have spoken 01696.

29 O that there were such 02088 an 04310 heart 03824 in them 05414, that they would fear 03372 me, and keep 08104 all my commandments 04687 always 03117, that it might be well 03190 with them, and with their children 01121 for ever 05769!

30 Go 03212 say 0559 to them, Return 07725 to your tents 0168 again 07725.

31 But as for thee, stand 05975 thou here by me 05978, and I will speak 01696 to thee all the commandments 04687, and the statutes 02706, and the judgments 04941, which thou shalt teach 03925 them, that they may do 06213 them in the land 0776 which I give 05414 them to possess 03423 it.

32 Ye shall observe 08104 to do 06213 therefore as the LORD 03068 your God 0430 hath commanded 06680 you: ye shall not turn aside 05493 to the right hand 03225 or to the left 08040.

33 Ye shall walk 03212 in all the ways 01870 which the LORD 03068 your God 0430 hath commanded 06680 you, that ye may live 02421, and that it may be well 02895 with you, and that ye may prolong 0748 your days 03117 in the land 0776 which ye shall possess 03423.

6

1 Now these are the commandments 04687, the statutes 02706, and the judgments 04941, which the LORD 03068 your God 0430 commanded 06680 to teach 03925 you, that ye may do 06213 them in the land 0776 where ye go 05674 to possess 03423 it: go: Heb. pass over

2 That thou mayest fear 03372 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, to keep 08104 all his statutes 02708 and his commandments 04687, which I command 06680 thee, thou, and thy son 01121, and thy son’s 01121 son 01121, all the days 03117 of thy life 02416; and that thy days 03117 may be prolonged 0748.

3 Hear 08085 therefore, O Israel 03478, and observe 08104 to do 06213 it; that it may be well 03190 with thee, and that ye may increase 07235 mightily 03966, as the LORD 03068 God 0430 of thy fathers 01 hath promised 01696 thee, in the land 0776 that floweth 02100 with milk 02461 and honey 01706.

4 Hear 08085, O Israel 03478: The LORD 03068 our God 0430 is one 0259 LORD 03068:

5 And thou shalt love 0157 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 with all thy heart 03824, and with all thy soul 05315, and with all thy might 03966.

6 And these words 01697, which I command 06680 thee this day 03117, shall be in thy heart 03824:

7 And thou shalt teach them diligently 08150 to thy children 01121, and shalt talk 01696 of them when thou sittest 03427 in thy house 01004, and when thou walkest 03212 by the way 01870, and when thou liest down 07901, and when thou risest up 06965. teach: Heb. whet, or, sharpen

8 And thou shalt bind 07194 them for a sign 0226 upon thy hand 03027, and they shall be as frontlets 02903 between thy eyes 05869.

9 And thou shalt write 03789 them upon the posts 04201 of thy house 01004, and on thy gates 08179.

10 And it shall be, when the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 shall have brought 0935 thee into the land 0776 which he swore 07650 to thy fathers 01, to Abraham 085, to Isaac 03327, and to Jacob 03290, to give 05414 thee great 01419 and goodly 02896 cities 05892, which thou didst not build 01129,

11 And houses 01004 full 04392 of all good 02898 things, which thou didst not fill 04390, and dug 02672 wells 0953, which thou didst not dig 02672, vineyards 03754 and olive trees 02132, which thou didst not plant 05193; when thou shalt have eaten 0398 and be full 07646;

12 Then beware 08104 lest thou shouldest forget 07911 the LORD 03068, who brought thee forth 03318 from the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, from the house 01004 of bondage 05650. bondage: Heb. bondmen or, servants

13 Thou shalt fear 03372 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, and serve 05647 him, and shalt swear 07650 by his name 08034.

14 Ye shall not go 03212 after 0310 other 0312 gods 0430, of the gods 0430 of the people 05971 which are around 05439 you;

15 (For the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 is a jealous 07067 God 0410 among 07130 you) lest the anger 0639 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 should be kindled 02734 against thee, and destroy 08045 thee from off the face 06440 of the earth 0127.

16 Ye shall not tempt 05254 the LORD 03068 your God 0430, as ye tempted 05254 him in Massah 04532.

17 Ye shall diligently 08104 keep 08104 the commandments 04687 of the LORD 03068 your God 0430, and his testimonies 05713, and his statutes 02706, which he hath commanded 06680 thee.

18 And thou shalt do 06213 that which is right 03477 and good 02896 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068: that it may be well 03190 with thee, and that thou mayest go in 0935 and possess 03423 the good 02896 land 0776 which the LORD 03068 swore 07650 to thy fathers 01,

19 To cast out 01920 all thy enemies 0341 from before 06440 thee, as the LORD 03068 hath spoken 01696.

20 And when thy son 01121 shall ask 07592 thee in time to come 04279, saying 0559, What mean the testimonies 05713, and the statutes 02706, and the judgments 04941, which the LORD 03068 our God 0430 hath commanded 06680 you? in…: Heb. to morrow

21 Then thou shalt say 0559 to thy son 01121, We were Pharaoh’s 06547 slaves 05650 in Egypt 04714; and the LORD 03068 brought us out 03318 of Egypt 04714 with a mighty 02389 hand 03027:

22 And the LORD 03068 showed 05414 signs 0226 and wonders 04159, great 01419 and terrible 07451, upon Egypt 04714, upon Pharaoh 06547, and upon all his household 01004, before our eyes 05869: sore: Heb. evil

23 And he brought us out 03318 from there, that he might bring us in 0935, to give 05414 us the land 0776 which he swore 07650 to our fathers 01.

24 And the LORD 03068 commanded 06680 us to do 06213 all these statutes 02706, to fear 03372 the LORD 03068 our God 0430, for our good 02896 always 03117, that he might preserve us alive 02421, as it is at this day 03117.

25 And it shall be our righteousness 06666, if we observe 08104 to do 06213 all these 02063 commandments 04687 before 06440 the LORD 03068 our God 0430, as he hath commanded 06680 us.

7

1 When the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 shall bring 0935 thee into the land 0776 where thou goest 0935 to possess 03423 it, and hath cast out 05394 many 07227 nations 01471 before 06440 thee, the Hittites 02850, and the Girgashites 01622, and the Amorites 0567, and the Canaanites 03669, and the Perizzites 06522, and the Hivites 02340, and the Jebusites 02983, seven 07651 nations 01471 greater 07227 and mightier 06099 than thou;

2 And when the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 shall deliver 05414 them before 06440 thee; thou shalt smite 05221 them, and utterly 02763 destroy 02763 them; thou shalt make 03772 no covenant 01285 with them, nor show mercy 02603 to them:

3 Neither shalt thou make marriages 02859 with them; thy daughter 01323 thou shalt not give 05414 to his son 01121, nor his daughter 01323 shalt thou take 03947 to thy son 01121.

4 For they will turn away 05493 thy son 01121 from following 0310 me, that they may serve 05647 other 0312 gods 0430: so will the anger 0639 of the LORD 03068 be kindled 02734 against you, and destroy 08045 thee suddenly 04118.

5 But thus shall ye deal 06213 with them; ye shall destroy 05422 their altars 04196, and break down 07665 their images 04676, and cut down 01438 their groves 0842, and burn 08313 their graven images 06456 with fire 0784. their images: Heb. their statues, or, pillars

6 For thou art an holy 06918 people 05971 to the LORD 03068 thy God 0430: the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath chosen 0977 thee to be a special 05459 people 05971 to himself, above all people 05971 that are upon the face 06440 of the earth 0127.

7 The LORD 03068 did not set his love 02836 upon you, nor choose 0977 you, because ye were more 07230 in number than any people 05971; for ye were the fewest 04592 of all people 05971:

8 But because the LORD 03068 loved 0160 you, and because he would keep 08104 the oath 07621 which he had sworn 07650 to your fathers 01, hath the LORD 03068 brought you out 03318 with a mighty 02389 hand 03027, and redeemed 06299 you from the house 01004 of bondage 05650, from the hand 03027 of Pharaoh 06547 king 04428 of Egypt 04714.

9 Know 03045 therefore that the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, he is God 0430, the faithful 0539 God 0410, who keepeth 08104 covenant 01285 and mercy 02617 with them that love 0157 him and keep 08104 his commandments 04687 to a thousand 0505 generations 01755;

10 And repayeth 07999 them that hate 08130 him to their face 06440, to destroy 06 them: he will not be slack 0309 to him that hateth 08130 him, he will repay 07999 him to his face 06440.

11 Thou shalt therefore keep 08104 the commandments 04687, and the statutes 02706, and the judgments 04941, which I command 06680 thee this day 03117, to do 06213 them.

12 Therefore it shall come to pass, if 06118 ye hearken 08085 to these judgments 04941, and keep 08104, and do 06213 them, that the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 shall keep 08104 to thee the covenant 01285 and the mercy 02617 which he swore 07650 to thy fathers 01: if: Heb. because

13 And he will love 0157 thee, and bless 01288 thee, and multiply 07235 thee: he will also bless 01288 the fruit 06529 of thy womb 0990, and the fruit 06529 of thy land 0127, thy grain 01715, and thy wine 08492, and thy oil 03323, the increase 07698 of thy cattle 0504, and the flocks 06251 of thy sheep 06629, in the land 0127 which he swore 07650 to thy fathers 01 to give 05414 thee.

14 Thou shalt be blessed 01288 above all people 05971: there shall not be male 06135 or female barren 06135 among you, or among your cattle 0929.

15 And the LORD 03068 will take away 05493 from thee all sickness 02483, and will put 07760 none of the evil 07451 diseases 04064 of Egypt 04714, which thou knowest 03045, upon thee; but will lay 05414 them upon all them that hate 08130 thee.

16 And thou shalt consume 0398 all the people 05971 which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 shall deliver 05414 to thee; thy eye 05869 shall have no pity 02347 upon them: neither shalt thou serve 05647 their gods 0430; for that will be a snare 04170 to thee.

17 If thou shalt say 0559 in thy heart 03824, These nations 01471 are more 07227 than I; how 0349 can 03201 I dispossess 03423 them?

18 Thou shalt not be afraid 03372 of them: but shalt well 02142 remember 02142 what the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 did 06213 to Pharaoh 06547, and to all Egypt 04714;

19 The great 01419 temptations 04531 which thy eyes 05869 saw 07200, and the signs 0226, and the wonders 04159, and the mighty 02389 hand 03027, and the outstretched 05186 arm 02220, by which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 brought thee out 03318: so shall the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 do 06213 to all the people 05971 of whom thou art afraid 03373, 6440.

20 Moreover the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 will send 07971 the hornet 06880 among them, until they that are left 07604, and hide 05641 themselves from 06440 thee, shall be destroyed 06.

21 Thou shalt not be terrified 06206 of 06440 them: for the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 is among 07130 you, a mighty 01419 God 0410 and terrible 03372.

22 And the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 will drive out 05394 those 0411 nations 01471 before 06440 thee by little 04592 and little 04592: thou mayest 03201 not consume 03615 them at once 04118, lest the beasts 02416 of the field 07704 increase 07235 upon thee. put…: Heb. pluck off

23 But the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 shall deliver 05414 them to thee 06440, and shall destroy 01949 them with a mighty 01419 destruction 04103, until they are destroyed 08045. unto…: Heb. before thy face

24 And he shall deliver 05414 their kings 04428 into thy hand 03027, and thou shalt destroy 06 their name 08034 from under heaven 08064: there shall no man 0376 be able to stand 03320 before 06440 thee, until thou shalt have destroyed 08045 them.

25 The graven images 06456 of their gods 0430 shall ye burn 08313 with fire 0784: thou shalt not desire 02530 the silver 03701 or gold 02091 that is on them, nor take 03947 it to thee, lest thou shouldest be snared 03369 in it: for it is an abomination 08441 to the LORD 03068 thy God 0430.

26 Neither shalt thou bring 0935 an abomination 08441 into thy house 01004, lest thou shouldest be a cursed thing 02764 like it: but thou shalt utterly 08262 detest 08262 it, and thou shalt utterly 08581 abhor 08581 it; for it is a cursed thing 02764.

1 All the commandments 04687 which I command 06680 thee this day 03117 shall ye observe 08104 to do 06213, that ye may live 02421, and multiply 07235, and go in 0935 and possess 03423 the land 0776 which the LORD 03068 swore 07650 to your fathers 01.

2 And thou shalt remember 02142 all the way 01870 which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath led 03212 thee these forty 0705 years 08141 in the wilderness 04057, to humble 06031 thee, and to test 05254 thee, to know 03045 what was in thy heart 03824, whether thou wouldest keep 08104 his commandments 04687, or not.

3 And he humbled 06031 thee, and allowed thee to hunger 07456, and fed 0398 thee with manna 04478, which thou knewest 03045 not, neither did thy fathers 01 know 03045; that he might make thee know 03045 that man 0120 doth not live 02421 by bread 03899 only 0905, but by every word that proceedeth 04161 out of the mouth 06310 of the LORD 03068 doth man 0120 live 02421.

4 Thy raiment 08071 hath not become old 01086 upon thee, neither hath thy foot 07272 swelled 01216, these forty 0705 years 08141.

5 Thou shalt also consider 03045 in 05973 thy heart 03824, that, as a man 0376 chasteneth 03256 his son 01121, so the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 chasteneth 03256 thee.

6 Therefore thou shalt keep 08104 the commandments 04687 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, to walk 03212 in his ways 01870, and to fear 03372 him.

7 For the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 bringeth 0935 thee into a good 02896 land 0776, a land 0776 of brooks 05158 of water 04325, of fountains 05869 and depths 08415 that spring out 03318 of valleys 01237 and hills 02022;

8 A land 0776 of wheat 02406, and barley 08184, and vines 01612, and fig trees 08384, and pomegranates 07416; a land 0776 of olive 02132 oil 08081, and honey 01706; of oil…: Heb. of olive tree of oil

9 A land 0776 in which 0834 thou shalt eat 0398 bread 03899 without 03808 scarceness 04544, thou shalt not lack 02637 any thing in it; a land 0776 whose stones 068 are iron 01270, and out of whose hills 02042 thou mayest dig 02672 brass 05178.

10 When thou hast eaten 0398 and art full 07646, then thou shalt bless 01288 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 for the good 02896 land 0776 which he hath given 05414 thee.

11 Beware 08104 that thou forget 07911 not the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, in not keeping 08104 his commandments 04687, and his judgments 04941, and his statutes 02708, which I command 06680 thee this day 03117:

12 Lest when thou hast eaten 0398 and art full 07646, and hast built 01129 goodly 02896 houses 01004, and dwelt 03427 in them;

13 And when thy herds 01241 and thy flocks 06629 multiply 07235, and thy silver 03701 and thy gold 02091 are increased 07235, and all that thou hast is increased 07235;

14 Then thy heart 03824 shall be lifted up 07311, and thou shalt forget 07911 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, who brought thee 03318 out of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, from the house 01004 of bondage 05650;

15 Who led 03212 thee through that great 01419 and terrible 03372 wilderness 04057, with its fiery 08314 serpents 05175, and scorpions 06137, and drought 06774, where there was no water 04325; who brought thee forth 03318 water 04325 out of the rock 06697 of flint 02496;

16 Who fed 0398 thee in the wilderness 04057 with manna 04478, which thy fathers 01 knew 03045 not, that he might humble 06031 thee, and that he might test 05254 thee, to do thee good 03190 at thy latter end 0319;

17 And thou shalt say 0559 in thy heart 03824, My power 03581 and the might 06108 of my hand 03027 hath gotten 06213 me this wealth 02428.

18 But thou shalt remember 02142 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430: for it is he that giveth 05414 thee power 03581 to get 06213 wealth 02428, that he may establish 06965 his covenant 01285 which he swore 07650 to thy fathers 01, as it is this day 03117.

19 And it shall be, if thou shalt at all 07911 forget 07911 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, and walk 01980 after 0310 other 0312 gods 0430, and serve 05647 them, and worship 07812 them, I testify 05749 against you this day 03117 that ye shall surely 06 perish 06.

20 As the nations 01471 which the LORD 03068 destroyeth 06 before your face 06440, so shall ye perish 06; because 06118 ye would not be obedient 08085 to the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068 your God 0430.

1 Hear 08085, O Israel 03478: Thou art to pass over 05674 Jordan 03383 this day 03117, to go in 0935 to possess 03423 nations 01471 greater 01419 and mightier 06099 than thyself, cities 05892 great 01419 and fortified up 01219 to heaven 08064,

2 A people 05971 great 01419 and tall 07311, the children 01121 of the Anakims 06062, whom thou knowest 03045, and of whom thou hast heard 08085 it said, Who can stand 03320 before 06440 the children 01121 of Anak 06061!

3 Understand 03045 therefore this day 03117, that the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 is he who goeth over 05674 before 06440 thee; as a consuming 0398 fire 0784 he shall destroy 08045 them, and he shall bring them down 03665 before thy face 06440: so shalt thou drive them out 03423, and destroy 06 them quickly 04118, as the LORD 03068 hath said 01696 to thee.

4 Speak 0559 not thou in thy heart 03824, after that the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath cast them out 01920 from before 06440 thee, saying 0559, For my righteousness 06666 the LORD 03068 hath brought me in 0935 to possess 03423 this land 0776: but for the wickedness 07564 of these nations 01471 the LORD 03068 doth drive them out 03423 from before 06440 thee.

5 Not for thy righteousness 06666, or for the uprightness 03476 of thy heart 03824, dost thou go 0935 to possess 03423 their land 0776: but for the wickedness 07564 of these nations 01471 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 doth drive them out 03423 from before 06440 thee, and that he may perform 06965 the word 01697 which the LORD 03068 swore 07650 to thy fathers 01, Abraham 085, Isaac 03327, and Jacob 03290.

6 Understand 03045 therefore, that the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 giveth 05414 thee not this good 02896 land 0776 to possess 03423 it for thy righteousness 06666; for thou art a stiffnecked 06203, 7186 people 05971.

7 Remember 02142, and forget 07911 not, how thou didst provoke the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 to wrath 07107 in the wilderness 04057: from 04480 the day 03117 that thou didst depart 03318 from the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, until ye came 0935 to this place 04725, ye have been rebellious 04784 against 05973 the LORD 03068.

8 Also in Horeb 02722 ye provoked 07107 the LORD 03068 to wrath 07107, so that the LORD 03068 was angry 0599 with you to have destroyed 08045 you.

9 When I went up 05927 to the mount 02022 to receive 03947 the tables 03871 of stone 068, even the tables 03871 of the covenant 01285 which the LORD 03068 made 03772 with you, then I abode 03427 in the mount 02022 forty 0705 days 03117 and forty 0705 nights 03915, I neither ate 0398 bread 03899 nor drank 08354 water 04325:

10 And the LORD 03068 delivered 05414 to me two 08147 tables 03871 of stone 068 written 03789 with the finger 0676 of God 0430; and on them was written according to all the words 01697, which the LORD 03068 spoke 01696 with you in the mount 02022 from the midst 08432 of the fire 0784 in the day 03117 of the assembly 06951.

11 And it came to pass at the end 07093 of forty 0705 days 03117 and forty 0705 nights 03915, that the LORD 03068 gave 05414 me the two 08147 tables 03871 of stone 068, even the tables 03871 of the covenant 01285.

12 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to me, Arise 06965, go down 03381 quickly 04118 from here; for thy people 05971 which thou hast brought forth 03318 out of Egypt 04714 have corrupted 07843 themselves; they are quickly 04118 turned aside 05493 from the way 01870 which I commanded 06680 them; they have made 06213 them a molten image 04541.

13 Furthermore the LORD 03068 spoke 0559 to me, saying 0559, I have seen 07200 this people 05971, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked 06203, 7186 people 05971:

14 Let me alone 07503, that I may destroy 08045 them, and blot out 04229 their name 08034 from under heaven 08064: and I will make 06213 of 0854 thee a nation 01471 mightier 06099 and greater 07227 than they.

15 So I turned 06437 and came down 03381 from the mount 02022, and the mount 02022 burned 01197 with fire 0784: and the two 08147 tables 03871 of the covenant 01285 were in my two 08147 hands 03027.

16 And I looked 07200, and, behold, ye had sinned 02398 against the LORD 03068 your God 0430, and had made 06213 you a molten 04541 calf 05695: ye had turned aside 05493 quickly 04118 from the way 01870 which the LORD 03068 had commanded 06680 you.

17 And I took 08610 the two 08147 tables 03871, and cast 07993 them out of 05921 my two 08147 hands 03027, and broke 07665 them before your eyes 05869.

18 And I fell down 05307 before 06440 the LORD 03068, as at the first 07223, forty 0705 days 03117 and forty 0705 nights 03915: I neither ate 0398 bread 03899, nor drank 08354 water 04325, because of all your sins 02403 which ye sinned 02398, in doing 06213 wickedly 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, to provoke him to anger 03707.

19 For I was afraid 03025 of 06440 the anger 0639 and hot displeasure 02534, with which the LORD 03068 was angry 07107 with you to destroy 08045 you. But the LORD 03068 hearkened 08085 to me at that time 06471 also.

20 And the LORD 03068 was very 03966 angry 0599 with Aaron 0175 to have destroyed 08045 him: and I prayed 06419 for Aaron 0175 also at the same time 06256.

21 And I took 03947 your sin 02403, the calf 05695 which ye had made 06213, and burnt 08313 it with fire 0784, and stamped 03807 it, and ground 02912 it very small 03190, even until it was as small 01854 as dust 06083: and I cast 07993 the dust 06083 of it into the brook 05158 that descended 03381 from the mount 02022.

22 And at Taberah 08404, and at Massah 04532, and Kibrothhattaavah 06914, ye provoked the LORD 03068 to wrath 07107.

23 Likewise when the LORD 03068 sent 07971 you from Kadeshbarnea 06947, saying 0559, Go up 05927 and possess 03423 the land 0776 which I have given 05414 you; then ye rebelled 04784 against the commandment 06310 of the LORD 03068 your God 0430, and ye believed 0539 him not, nor hearkened 08085 to his voice 06963.

24 Ye have been rebellious 04784 against the LORD 03068 from the day 03117 that I knew 03045 you.

25 Thus I fell down 05307 before 06440 the LORD 03068 forty 0705 days 03117 and forty 0705 nights 03915, as I fell down 05307 at the first; because the LORD 03068 had said 0559 he would destroy 08045 you.

26 I prayed 06419 therefore to the LORD 03068, and said 0559, O Lord 0136 GOD 03069, destroy 07843 not thy people 05971 and thy inheritance 05159, which thou hast redeemed 06299 through thy greatness 01433, which thou hast brought forth 03318 out of Egypt 04714 with a mighty 02389 hand 03027.

27 Remember 02142 thy servants 05650, Abraham 085, Isaac 03327, and Jacob 03290; look 06437 not to the stubbornness 07190 of this people 05971, nor to their wickedness 07562, nor to their sin 02403:

28 Lest the land 0776 from which thou hast brought us 03318 should say 0559, Because the LORD 03068 was not able 03201 to bring 0935 them into the land 0776 which he promised 01696 them, and because he hated 08135 them, he hath brought them out 03318 to slay 04191 them in the wilderness 04057.

29 Yet they are thy people 05971 and thy inheritance 05159, which thou hast brought out 03318 by thy mighty 01419 power 03581 and by thy outstretched 05186 arm 02220.

10

1 At that time 06256 the LORD 03068 said 0559 to me, Hew 06458 thee two 08147 tables 03871 of stone 068 like the first 07223, and come up 05927 to me upon the mount 02022, and make 06213 thee an ark 0727 of wood 06086.

2 And I will write 03789 on the tables 03871 the words 01697 that were in the first 07223 tables 03871 which thou didst break 07665, and thou shalt put 07760 them in the ark 0727.

3 And I made 06213 an ark 0727 of shittim 07848 wood 06086, and hewed 06458 two 08147 tables 03871 of stone 068 like the first 07223, and went up 05927 to the mount 02022, having the two 08147 tables 03871 in my hand 03027.

4 And he wrote 03789 on the tables 03871, according to the first 07223 writing 04385, the ten 06235 commandments 01697, which the LORD 03068 spoke 01696 to you in the mount 02022 from the midst 08432 of the fire 0784 in the day 03117 of the assembly 06951: and the LORD 03068 gave 05414 them to me. commandments: Heb. words

5 And I turned 06437 myself and came down 03381 from the mount 02022, and put 07760 the tables 03871 in the ark 0727 which I had made 06213; and there they are, as the LORD 03068 commanded 06680 me.

6 And the children 01121 of Israel 03478 took their journey 05265 from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan 0885 to Mosera 04149: there Aaron 0175 died 04191, and there he was buried 06912; and Eleazar 0499 his son 01121 ministered in the priest’s office 03547 in his stead.

7 From there they journeyed 05265 to Gudgodah 01412; and from Gudgodah 01412 to Jotbath 03193, a land 0776 of rivers 05158 of waters 04325.

8 At that time 06256 the LORD 03068 separated 0914 the tribe 07626 of Levi 03878, to bear 05375 the ark 0727 of the covenant 01285 of the LORD 03068, to stand 05975 before 06440 the LORD 03068 to minister 08334 to him, and to bless 01288 in his name 08034, to this day 03117.

9 Therefore Levi 03878 hath no part 02506 nor inheritance 05159 with his brethren 0251; the LORD 03068 is his inheritance 05159, according as the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 promised 01696 him.

10 And I stayed 05975 in the mount 02022, according to the first 07223 time 03117, forty 0705 days 03117 and forty 0705 nights 03915; and the LORD 03068 hearkened 08085 to me at that time 06471 also, and the LORD 03068 would 014 not destroy 07843 thee. first…: or, former days

11 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to me, Arise 06965, take 03212 thy journey 04550 before 06440 the people 05971, that they may go in 0935 and possess 03423 the land 0776, which I swore 07650 to their fathers 01 to give 05414 to them. take…: Heb. go in journey

12 And now, Israel 03478, what doth the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 require 07592 of thee, but to fear 03372 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, to walk 03212 in all his ways 01870, and to love 0157 him, and to serve 05647 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 with all thy heart 03824 and with all thy soul 05315,

13 To keep 08104 the commandments 04687 of the LORD 03068, and his statutes 02708, which I command 06680 thee this day 03117 for thy good 02896?

14 Behold, the heaven 08064 and the heaven 08064 of heavens 08064 belongeth to the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, the earth 0776 also, with all that is in it.

15 Only the LORD 03068 had a delight 02836 in thy fathers 01 to love 0157 them, and he chose 0977 their seed 02233 after 0310 them, even you above all people 05971, as it is this day 03117.

16 Circumcise 04135 therefore the foreskin 06190 of your heart 03824, and be no more stiffnecked 06203, 7185.

17 For the LORD 03068 your God 0430 is God 0430 of gods 0430, and Lord 0113 of lords 0113, a great 01419 God 0410, a mighty 01368, and a terrible 03372, who regardeth 05375 not persons 06440, nor taketh 03947 reward 07810:

18 He executeth 06213 the judgment 04941 of the fatherless 03490 and widow 0490, and loveth 0157 the stranger 01616, in giving 05414 him food 03899 and raiment 08071.

19 Love 0157 ye therefore the stranger 01616: for ye were strangers 01616 in the land 0776 of Egypt 04714.

20 Thou shalt fear 03372 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430; him shalt thou serve 05647, and to him shalt thou cleave 01692, and swear 07650 by his name 08034.

21 He is thy praise 08416, and he is thy God 0430, that hath done 06213 for thee these great 01419 and terrible things 03372, which thy eyes 05869 have seen 07200.

22 Thy fathers 01 went down 03381 into Egypt 04714 with seventy 07657 persons 05315; and now the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath made 07760 thee as the stars 03556 of heaven 08064 for multitude 07230.

1 Therefore thou shalt love 0157 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, and keep 08104 his charge 04931, and his statutes 02708, and his judgments 04941, and his commandments 04687, always 03117.

2 And know 03045 ye this day 03117: for I speak not with your children 01121 who have not known 03045, and who have not seen 07200 the chastisement 04148 of the LORD 03068 your God 0430, his greatness 01433, his mighty 02389 hand 03027, and his outstretched 05186 arm 02220,

3 And his miracles 0226, and his acts 04639, which he did 06213 in the midst 08432 of Egypt 04714 to Pharaoh 06547 the king 04428 of Egypt 04714, and to all his land 0776;

4 And what he did 06213 to the army 02428 of Egypt 04714, to their horses 05483, and to their chariots 07393; how he made the water 04325 of the Red 05488 sea 03220 to overflow 06687 them 06440 as they pursued 07291 after 0310 you, and how the LORD 03068 hath destroyed 06 them to this day 03117;

5 And what he did 06213 to you in the wilderness 04057, until ye came 0935 to this place 04725;

6 And what he did 06213 to Dathan 01885 and Abiram 048, the sons 01121 of Eliab 0446, the son 01121 of Reuben 07205: how the earth 0776 opened 06475 her mouth 06310, and swallowed them up 01104, and their households 01004, and their tents 0168, and all the substance 03351 that was in their possession 07272, in the midst 07130 of all Israel 03478: substance…: or, living substance which followed themwas…: Heb. was at their feet

7 But your eyes 05869 have seen 07200 all the great 01419 acts 04639 of the LORD 03068 which he did 06213.

8 Therefore shall ye keep 08104 all the commandments 04687 which 0834 I command 06680 you this day 03117, that ye may be strong 02388, and go in 0935 and possess 03423 the land 0776, where ye go 05674 to possess 03423 it;

9 And that ye may prolong 0748 your days 03117 in the land 0127, which the LORD 03068 swore 07650 to your fathers 01 to give 05414 to them and to their seed 02233, a land 0776 that floweth 02100 with milk 02461 and honey 01706.

10 For the land 0776, where thou goest in 0935 to possess 03423 it, is not as the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, from which ye came out 03318, where thou didst sow 02232 thy seed 02233, and water 08248 it with thy foot 07272, as a garden 01588 of herbs 03419:

11 But the land 0776, where ye go 05674 to possess 03423 it, is a land 0776 of hills 02022 and valleys 01237, and drinketh 08354 water 04325 of the rain 04306 of heaven 08064:

12 A land 0776 which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 careth for 01875: the eyes 05869 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 are always 08548 upon it, from the beginning 07225 of the year 08141 even to the end 0319 of the year 08141. careth…: Heb. seeketh

13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken 08085 diligently 08085 to my commandments 04687 which I command 06680 you this day 03117, to love 0157 the LORD 03068 your God 0430, and to serve 05647 him with all your heart 03824 and with all your soul 05315,

14 That I will give 05414 you the rain 04306 of your land 0776 in its due season 06256, the former rain 03138 and the latter rain 04456, that thou mayest gather 0622 in thy grain 01715, and thy wine 08492, and thy oil 03323.

15 And I will give 05414 grass 06212 in thy fields 07704 for thy cattle 0929, that thou mayest eat 0398 and be full 07646. send: Heb. give

16 Take heed 08104 to yourselves, that your heart 03824 be not deceived 06601, and ye turn aside 05493, and serve 05647 other 0312 gods 0430, and worship 07812 them;

17 And then the LORD’S 03068 wrath 0639 shall be kindled 02734 against you, and he shall shut up 06113 the heaven 08064, that there shall be no rain 04306, and the land 0127 shall not yield 05414 its fruit 02981; and lest ye perish 06 quickly 04120 from off the good 02896 land 0776 which the LORD 03068 giveth 05414 you.

18 Therefore shall ye lay up 07760 these my words 01697 in your heart 03824 and in your soul 05315, and bind 07194 them for a sign 0226 upon your hand 03027, that they may be as frontlets 02903 between your eyes 05869.

19 And ye shall teach 03925 them to your children 01121, speaking 01696 of them when thou sittest 03427 in thy house 01004, and when thou walkest 03212 by the way 01870, when thou liest 07901 down, and when thou risest up 06965.

20 And thou shalt write 03789 them upon the door posts 04201 of thy house 01004, and upon thy gates 08179:

21 That your days 03117 may be multiplied 07235, and the days 03117 of your children 01121, in the land 0127 which the LORD 03068 swore 07650 to your fathers 01 to give 05414 to them, as the days 03117 of heaven 08064 upon the earth 0776.

22 For if ye shall diligently 08104 keep 08104 all these commandments 04687 which I command 06680 you, to do 06213 them, to love 0157 the LORD 03068 your God 0430, to walk 03212 in all his ways 01870, and to cleave 01692 to him;

23 Then will the LORD 03068 drive out 03423 all these nations 01471 from before 06440 you, and ye shall possess 03423 greater 01419 nations 01471 and mightier 06099 than yourselves.

24 Every place 04725 on which the soles 03709 of your feet 07272 shall tread 01869 shall be yours: from the wilderness 04057 and Lebanon 03844, from the river 05104, the river 05104 Euphrates 06578, even to the uttermost 0314 sea 03220 shall your border 01366 be.

25 There shall no man 0376 be able to stand 03320 before 06440 you: for the LORD 03068 your God 0430 shall lay 05414 the fear 06343 of you and the dread 04172 of you upon 06440 all the land 0776 that ye shall tread 01869 upon, as he hath said 01696 to you.

26 Behold 07200, I set 05414 before 06440 you this day 03117 a blessing 01293 and a curse 07045;

27 A blessing 01293, if ye obey 08085 the commandments 04687 of the LORD 03068 your God 0430, which I command 06680 you this day 03117:

28 And a curse 07045, if ye will not obey 08085 the commandments 04687 of the LORD 03068 your God 0430, but turn aside 05493 from the way 01870 which I command 06680 you this day 03117, to go 03212 after 0310 other 0312 gods 0430, which ye have not known 03045.

29 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath brought thee in 0935 to the land 0776 where thou goest 0935 to possess 03423 it, that thou shalt put 05414 the blessing 01293 upon mount 02022 Gerizim 01630, and the curse 07045 upon mount 02022 Ebal 05858.

30 Are they not on the other side 05676 of Jordan 03383, by 0310 the way 01870 where the sun 08121 goeth down 03996, in the land 0776 of the Canaanites 03669, who dwell 03427 in the plain 06160 opposite 04136 Gilgal 01537, beside 0681 the plains 0436 of Moreh 04176?

31 For ye shall pass over 05674 Jordan 03383 to go in 0935 to possess 03423 the land 0776 which the LORD 03068 your God 0430 giveth 05414 you, and ye shall possess 03423 it, and dwell 03427 in it.

32 And ye shall observe 08104 to do 06213 all the statutes 02706 and judgments 04941 which I set 05414 before 06440 you this day 03117.

12

1 These are the statutes 02706 and judgments 04941, which ye shall observe 08104 to do 06213 in the land 0776, which the LORD 03068 God 0430 of thy fathers 01 giveth 05414 thee to possess 03423 it, all the days 03117 that ye live 02416 upon the earth 0127.

2 Ye shall utterly 06 destroy 06 all the places 04725, in which the nations 01471 which 0834 ye shall possess 03423 served 05647 their gods 0430, upon the high 07311 mountains 02022, and upon the hills 01389, and under every green 07488 tree 06086: possess: or, inherit

3 And ye shall overthrow 05422 their altars 04196, and break 07665 their pillars 04676, and burn 08313 their groves 0842 with fire 0784; and ye shall hew down 01438 the graven images 06456 of their gods 0430, and destroy 06 the names 08034 of them out of that place 04725. overthrow: Heb. break down

4 Ye shall not do so 06213 to the LORD 03068 your God 0430.

5 But the place 04725 which the LORD 03068 your God 0430 shall choose 0977 out of all your tribes 07626 to put 07760 his name 08034 there, even his habitation 07933 shall ye seek 01875, and there thou shalt come 0935:

6 And there ye shall bring 0935 your burnt offerings 05930, and your sacrifices 02077, and your tithes 04643, and heave offerings 08641 of your hand 03027, and your vows 05088, and your freewill offerings 05071, and the firstlings 01062 of your herds 01241 and of your flocks 06629:

7 And there ye shall eat 0398 before 06440 the LORD 03068 your God 0430, and ye shall rejoice 08055 in all that ye put 04916 your hand 03027 to, ye and your households 01004, in which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath blessed 01288 thee.

8 Ye shall not do 06213 after all the things that we do 06213 here this day 03117, every man 0376 whatever is right 03477 in his own eyes 05869.

9 For ye are not as yet come 0935 to the rest 04496 and to the inheritance 05159, which the LORD 03068 your God 0430 giveth 05414 you.

10 But when ye go over 05674 Jordan 03383, and dwell 03427 in the land 0776 which the LORD 03068 your God 0430 giveth you to inherit 05157, and when he giveth you rest 05117 from all your enemies 0341 on every side 05439, so that ye dwell 03427 in safety 0983;

11 Then there shall be a place 04725 which the LORD 03068 your God 0430 shall choose 0977 to cause his name 08034 to dwell 07931 there; there shall ye bring 0935 all that I command 06680 you; your burnt offerings 05930, and your sacrifices 02077, your tithes 04643, and the heave offering 08641 of your hand 03027, and all your choice 04005 vows 05088 which ye vow 05087 to the LORD 03068: your choice…: Heb. the choice of your vows

12 And ye shall rejoice 08055 before 06440 the LORD 03068 your God 0430, ye, and your sons 01121, and your daughters 01323, and your male 05650 and female servants 0519, and the Levite 03881 that is within your gates 08179; forasmuch 03588 as he hath no part 02506 nor inheritance 05159 with you.

13 Take heed 08104 to thyself that thou offer 05927 not thy burnt offerings 05930 in every place 04725 that thou seest 07200:

14 But in the place 04725 which the LORD 03068 shall choose 0977 in one 0259 of thy tribes 07626, there thou shalt offer 05927 thy burnt offerings 05930, and there thou shalt do 06213 all that I command 06680 thee.

15 However thou mayest kill 02076 and eat 0398 flesh 01320 in all thy gates 08179, whatever thy soul 05315 desireth 0185, according to the blessing 01293 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 which he hath given 05414 thee: the unclean 02931 and the clean 02889 may eat 0398 of it, as of the roebuck 06643, and as of the hart 0354.

16 Only ye shall not eat 0398 the blood 01818; ye shall pour 08210 it upon the earth 0776 as water 04325.

17 Thou mayest 03201 not eat 0398 within thy gates 08179 the tithe 04643 of thy grain 01715, or of thy wine 08492, or of thy oil 03323, or the firstlings 01062 of thy herds 01241 or of thy flock 06629, nor any of thy vows 05088 which thou vowest 05087, nor thy freewill offerings 05071, or heave offering 08641 of thy hand 03027:

18 But thou must eat 0398 them before 06440 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 in the place 04725 which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 shall choose 0977, thou, and thy son 01121, and thy daughter 01323, and thy male servant 05650, and thy female servant 0519, and the Levite 03881 that is within thy gates 08179: and thou shalt rejoice 08055 before 06440 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 in all that thou puttest 04916 thine hands 03027 to.

19 Take heed 08104 to thyself that thou forsake 05800 not the Levite 03881 as long as thou livest 03117 upon the earth 0127. as long…: Heb. all thy days

20 When the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 shall enlarge 07337 thy border 01366, as he hath promised 01696 thee, and thou shalt say 0559, I will eat 0398 flesh 01320, because thy soul 05315 longeth 0183 to eat 0398 flesh 01320; thou mayest eat 0398 flesh 01320, whatever thy soul 05315 desireth 0185.

21 If the place 04725 which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath chosen 0977 to put 07760 his name 08034 there shall be too far 07368 from thee, then thou shalt kill 02076 of thy herd 01241 and of thy flock 06629, which the LORD 03068 hath given 05414 thee, as I have commanded 06680 thee, and thou shalt eat 0398 in thy gates 08179 whatever thy soul 05315 desireth 0185.

22 Even as the roebuck 06643 and the hart 0354 is eaten 0398, so thou shalt eat 0398 them: the unclean 02931 and the clean 02889 shall eat 0398 of them alike 03162.

23 Only be sure 02388 that thou eat 0398 not the blood 01818: for the blood 01818 is the life 05315; and thou mayest not eat 0398 the life 05315 with the flesh 01320. be…: Heb. be strong

24 Thou shalt not eat 0398 it; thou shalt pour 08210 it upon the earth 0776 as water 04325.

25 Thou shalt not eat 0398 it; that it may be well 03190 with thee, and with thy children 01121 after 0310 thee, when thou shalt do 06213 that which is right 03477 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068.

26 Only thy holy things 06944 which thou hast, and thy vows 05088, thou shalt take 05375, and go 0935 to the place 04725 which the LORD 03068 shall choose 0977:

27 And thou shalt offer 06213 thy burnt offerings 05930, the flesh 01320 and the blood 01818, upon the altar 04196 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430: and the blood 01818 of thy sacrifices 02077 shall be poured out 08210 upon the altar 04196 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, and thou shalt eat 0398 the flesh 01320.

28 Observe 08104 and hear 08085 all these words 01697 which I command 06680 thee, that it may be well 03190 with thee, and with thy children 01121 after 0310 thee for 05704 ever 05769, when thou doest 06213 that which is good 02896 and right 03477 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430.

29 When the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 shall cut off 03772 the nations 01471 from before 06440 thee, where thou goest 0935 to possess 03423 them, and thou succeedest 03423 them, and dwellest 03427 in their land 0776; succeedest…: Heb. inheritest, or, possessest them

30 Take heed 08104 to thyself that thou be not snared 05367 by following 0310 them, after 0310 that they are destroyed 08045 from before 06440 thee; and that thou enquire 01875 not after their gods 0430, saying 0559, How did these nations 01471 serve 05647 their gods 0430? even so will I do 06213 likewise 01571. by…: Heb. after them

31 Thou shalt not do 06213 so to the LORD 03068 thy God 0430: for every abomination 08441 to the LORD 03068, which he hateth 08130, have they done 06213 to their gods 0430; for even their sons 01121 and their daughters 01323 they have burnt 08313 in the fire 0784 to their gods 0430. to the: Heb. of the

32 Whatever thing 01697 I command 06680 you, observe 08104 to do 06213 it: thou shalt not add 03254 to it, nor diminish 01639 from it.

1 If there shall arise 06965 among 07130 you a prophet 05030, or a dreamer 02492 of dreams 02472, and give 05414 thee a sign 0226 or a wonder 04159,

2 And the sign 0226 or the wonder 04159 shall come to pass 0935, of which he spoke 01696 to thee, saying 0559, Let us go 03212 after 0310 other 0312 gods 0430, which thou hast not known 03045, and let us serve 05647 them;

3 Thou shalt not hearken 08085 to the words 01697 of that prophet 05030, or that dreamer 02492 of dreams 02472: for the LORD 03068 your God 0430 testeth 05254 you, to know 03045 whether ye 03426 love 0157 the LORD 03068 your God 0430 with all your heart 03824 and with all your soul 05315.

4 Ye shall walk 03212 after 0310 the LORD 03068 your God 0430, and fear 03372 him, and keep 08104 his commandments 04687, and obey 08085 his voice 06963, and ye shall serve 05647 him, and cleave 01692 to him.

5 And that prophet 05030, or that dreamer 02492 of dreams 02472, shall be put to death 04191; because he hath spoken 01696 to turn 05627 you away from the LORD 03068 your God 0430, who brought you out 03318 of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, and redeemed 06299 you from the house 01004 of bondage 05650, to thrust 05080 thee out of the way 01870 which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 commanded 06680 thee to walk in 03212. So shalt thou remove 01197 the evil 07451 from the midst 07130 of thee. to turn…: Heb. revolt against the LORD

6 If thy brother 0251, the son 01121 of thy mother 0517, or thy son 01121, or thy daughter 01323, or the wife 0802 of thy bosom 02436, or thy friend 07453, who is as thy own soul 05315, shall entice 05496 thee secretly 05643, saying 0559, Let us go 03212 and serve 05647 other 0312 gods 0430, which thou hast not known 03045, thou, nor thy fathers 01;

7 Namely, of the gods 0430 of the people 05971 who are around 05439 you, near 07138 to thee, or far off 07350 from thee, from one end 07097 of the earth 0776 even to the other end 07097 of the earth 0776;

8 Thou shalt not consent 014 to him, nor hearken 08085 to him; neither shall thy eye 05869 pity 02347 him, neither shalt thou spare 02550, neither shalt thou conceal 03680 him:

9 But thou shalt surely 02026 kill 02026 him; thy hand 03027 shall be first 07223 upon him to put him to death 04191, and afterwards 0314 the hand 03027 of all the people 05971.

10 And thou shalt stone 05619 him with stones 068, that he shall die 04191; because he hath sought 01245 to thrust thee away 05080 from the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, who brought thee out 03318 of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, from the house 01004 of bondage 05650. bondage: Heb. bondmen

11 And all Israel 03478 shall hear 08085, and fear 03372, and shall do 06213 no more 03254 any 01697 such wickedness 07451 as this is among 07130 you.

12 If thou shalt hear 08085 in one 0259 of thy cities 05892, which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath given 05414 thee to dwell 03427 there, saying 0559,

13 Certain men 0582, corrupt 01100 men 01121, have gone out 03318 from among 07130 you, and have seduced 05080 the inhabitants 03427 of their city 05892, saying 0559, Let us go 03212 and serve 05647 other 0312 gods 0430, which ye have not known 03045; the children…: or, naughty men

14 Then shalt thou enquire 01875, and make search 02713, and ask 07592 diligently 03190; and, behold, if it is truth 0571, and the thing 01697 certain 03559, that such 02063 abomination 08441 is wrought 06213 among 07130 you;

15 Thou shalt surely 05221 smite 05221 the inhabitants 03427 of that city 05892 with the edge 06310 of the sword 02719, destroying it utterly 02763, and all that is in it, and its cattle 0929, with the edge 06310 of the sword 02719.

16 And thou shalt gather 06908 all the spoil 07998 of it into the midst 08432 of its street 07339, and shalt burn 08313 with fire 0784 the city 05892, and all the spoil 07998, every bit of it 03632, for the LORD 03068 thy God 0430: and it shall be an heap 08510 for ever 05769; it shalt not be built again 01129.

17 And there shall cleave 01692 nothing 03972 of the cursed thing 02764 to thy hand 03027: that the LORD 03068 may turn 07725 from the fierceness 02740 of his anger 0639, and show 05414 thee mercy 07356, and have compassion 07355 upon thee, and multiply 07235 thee, as he hath sworn 07650 to thy fathers 01; cursed: or, devoted

18 When thou shalt hearken 08085 to the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, to keep 08104 all his commandments 04687 which I command 06680 thee this day 03117, to do 06213 that which is right 03477 in the eyes 05869 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430.

14

1 Ye are the children 01121 of the LORD 03068 your God 0430: ye shall not cut 01413 yourselves, nor make 07760 any baldness 07144 between your eyes 05869 for the dead 04191.

2 For thou art an holy 06918 people 05971 to the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, and the LORD 03068 hath chosen 0977 thee to be a special 05459 people 05971 to himself, above all the nations 05971 that are upon 06440 the earth 0127.

3 Thou shalt not eat 0398 any abominable thing 08441.

4 These are the beasts 0929 which ye shall eat 0398: the ox 07794, the sheep 07716, 3775, and the goat 05795,

5 The hart 0354, and the roebuck 06643, and the fallow deer 03180, and the wild goat 0689, and the pygarg 01788, and the wild ox 08377, and the chamois 02169. pygarg: or bison: Heb. dishon

6 And every beast 0929 that parteth 06536 the hoof 06541, and cleaveth 08157 the cleft 08156 into two 08147 claws 06541, and cheweth 05927 the cud 01625 among the beasts 0929, that ye shall eat 0398.

7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat 0398 of them that chew 05927 the cud 01625, or of them that divide 06536 the cloven 08156 hoof 06541; the camel 01581, and the hare 0768, and the coney 08227: for they chew 05927 the cud 01625, but divide 06536 not the hoof 06541; therefore they are unclean 02931 to you.

8 And the swine 02386, because it divideth 06536 the hoof 06541, yet cheweth not the cud 01625, is unclean 02931 to you: ye shall not eat 0398 of their flesh 01320, nor touch 05060 their dead carcase 05038.

9 These ye shall eat 0398 of all that are in the waters 04325: all that have fins 05579 and scales 07193 shall ye eat 0398:

10 And whatever hath not fins 05579 and scales 07193 ye may not eat 0398; it is unclean 02931 to you.

11 Of all clean 02889 birds 06833 ye shall eat 0398.

12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat 0398: the eagle 05404, and the ossifrage 06538, and the ospray 05822,

13 And the glede 07201, and the kite 0344, and the vulture 01772 after his kind 04327,

14 And every raven 06158 after his kind 04327,

15 And the owl 01323, 3284, and the night hawk 08464, and the cuckow 07828, and the hawk 05322 after his kind 04327,

16 The little owl 03563, and the great owl 03244, and the swan 08580,

17 And the pelican 06893, and the gier eagle 07360, and the cormorant 07994,

18 And the stork 02624, and the heron 0601 after her kind 04327, and the lapwing 01744, and the bat 05847.

19 And every creeping thing 08318 that flieth 05775 is unclean 02931 to you: they shall not be eaten 0398.

20 But of all clean 02889 fowls 05775 ye may eat 0398.

21 Ye shall not eat 0398 of any thing that dieth of itself 05038: thou shalt give 05414 it to the stranger 01616 that is in thy gates 08179, that he may eat 0398 it; or thou mayest sell 04376 it to an alien 05237: for thou art an holy 06918 people 05971 to the LORD 03068 thy God 0430. Thou shalt not boil 01310 a kid 01423 in his mother’s 0517 milk 02461.

22 Thou shalt truly 06237 tithe 06237 all the increase 08393 of thy seed 02233, that the field 07704 bringeth forth 03318 year 08141 by year 08141.

23 And thou shalt eat 0398 before 06440 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, in the place 04725 which he shall choose 0977 to place 07931 his name 08034 there, the tithe 04643 of thy grain 01715, of thy wine 08492, and of thy oil 03323, and the firstlings 01062 of thy herds 01241 and of thy flocks 06629; that thou mayest learn 03925 to fear 03372 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 always 03117.

24 And if the way 01870 is too long 07235 for thee, so that 03588 thou art not able 03201 to carry 05375 it; or if the place 04725 is too far 07368 from thee, which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 shall choose 0977 to set 07760 his name 08034 there, when the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath blessed 01288 thee:

25 Then shalt thou turn 05414 it into money 03701, and bind up 06696 the money 03701 in thy hand 03027, and shalt go 01980 to the place 04725 which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 shall choose 0977:

26 And thou shalt bestow 05414 that money 03701 for whatever thy soul 05315 desireth 0183, for oxen 01241, or for sheep 06629, or for wine 03196, or for strong drink 07941, or for whatever thy soul 05315 desireth 07592: and thou shalt eat 0398 there before 06440 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, and thou shalt rejoice 08055, thou, and thy household 01004, desireth: Heb. asketh of thee

27 And the Levite 03881 that is within thy gates 08179; thou shalt not forsake 05800 him; for he hath no part 02506 nor inheritance 05159 with thee.

28 At the end 07097 of three 07969 years 08141 thou shalt bring forth 03318 all the tithe 04643 of thy increase 08393 the same year 08141, and shalt lay it up 03240 within thy gates 08179:

29 And the Levite 03881, (because he hath no part 02506 nor inheritance 05159 with thee,) and the stranger 01616, and the fatherless 03490, and the widow 0490, who are within thy gates 08179, shall come 0935, and shall eat 0398 and be satisfied 07646; that the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 may bless 01288 thee in all the work 04639 of thy hand 03027 which thou doest 06213.

15

1 At the end 07093 of every seven 07651 years 08141 thou shalt make 06213 a release 08059.

2 And this is the manner 01697 of the release 08059: Every creditor 01167, 4874, 3027 that lendeth 05383 any thing to his neighbour 07453 shall release 08058 it; he shall not exact 05065 it of his neighbour 07453, or of his brother 0251; because it is called 07121 the LORD’S 03068 release 08059. creditor: Heb. master of the lending of his hand

3 Of a foreigner 05237 thou mayest exact 05065 it again: but that which is thine with thy brother 0251 thy hand 03027 shall release 08058;

4 Except 0657 when there shall be no poor 034 among you; for the LORD 03068 shall greatly 01288 bless 01288 thee in the land 0776 which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 giveth 05414 thee for an inheritance 05159 to possess 03423 it: Save…: or, To the end that there be no poor among you

5 Only if thou shalt carefully 08085 hearken 08085 to the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, to observe 08104 to do 06213 all these commandments 04687 which I command 06680 thee this day 03117.

6 For the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 shall bless 01288 thee, as he promised 01696 thee: and thou shalt lend 05670 to many 07227 nations 01471, but thou shalt not borrow 05670; and thou shalt reign 04910 over many 07227 nations 01471, but they shall not reign 04910 over thee.

7 If there shall be among you a poor man 034 of one 0259 of thy brethren 0251 within any 0259 of thy gates 08179 in thy land 0776 which the LORD 03068 the God 0430 giveth 05414 thee, thou shalt not harden 0553 thy heart 03824, nor shut 07092 thy hand 03027 from thy poor 034 brother 0251:

8 But thou shalt open 06605 thy hand 03027 wide 06605 to him, and shalt surely 05670 lend 05670 him sufficient 01767 for his need 04270, in that which he lacketh 02637.

9 Beware 08104 that there be not a thought 01697 in thy wicked 01100 heart 03824, saying 0559, The seventh 07651 year 08141, the year 08141 of release 08059, is at hand 07126; and thy eye 05869 shall be evil 07489 against thy poor 034 brother 0251, and thou shalt give 05414 him nothing; and he shall cry 07121 to the LORD 03068 against thee, and it shall be sin 02399 to thee. thought: Heb. wordwicked: Heb. Belial

10 Thou shalt surely 05414 give 05414 him, and thy heart 03824 shall not be grieved 03415 when thou givest 05414 to him: because 01558 that for this thing 01697 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 shall bless 01288 thee in all thy works 04639, and in all that thou puttest 04916 thy hand 03027 to.

11 For the poor 034 shall never cease 02308 from 07130 the land 0776: therefore I command 06680 thee, saying 0559, Thou shalt open 06605 thy hand 03027 wide 06605 to thy brother 0251, to thy poor 06041, and to thy needy 034, in thy land 0776.

12 And if thy brother 0251, an Hebrew man 05680, or an Hebrew woman 05680, shall be sold 04376 to thee, and serve 05647 thee six 08337 years 08141; then in the seventh 07637 year 08141 thou shalt let him go 07971 free 02670 from thee.

13 And when thou sendest 07971 him out free 02670 from thee, thou shalt not let him depart 07971 empty 07387:

14 Thou shalt furnish 06059 him liberally 06059 out of thy flock 06629, and out of thy floor 01637, and out of thy winepress 03342: of that which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath blessed 01288 thee thou shalt give 05414 to him.

15 And thou shalt remember 02142 that thou wast a slave 05650 in the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, and the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 redeemed 06299 thee: therefore I command 06680 thee this thing 01697 this day 03117.

16 And it shall be, if he shall say 0559 to thee, I will not leave 03318 thee; because he loveth 0157 thee and thy house 01004, because he is well 02895 with thee;

17 Then thou shalt take 03947 an awl 04836, and thrust 05414 it through his ear 0241 into the door 01817, and he shall be thy servant 05650 for ever 05769. And also to thy maidservant 0519 thou shalt do 06213 likewise.

18 It shall not seem hard 07185 to thee 05869, when thou sendest him away 07971 free 02670 from thee; for he hath been of double 04932 the worth 07939 of a hired servant 07916 to thee, in serving 05647 thee six 08337 years 08141: and the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 shall bless 01288 thee in all that thou doest 06213.

19 All the firstling 01060 males 02145 that come 03205 of thy herd 01241 and of thy flock 06629 thou shalt sanctify 06942 to the LORD 03068 thy God 0430: thou shalt do no work 05647 with the firstling 01060 of thy herd 07794, nor shear 01494 the firstling 01060 of thy flock 06629.

20 Thou shalt eat 0398 it before 06440 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 year 08141 by year 08141 in the place 04725 which the LORD 03068 shall choose 0977, thou and thy household 01004.

21 And if there is any blemish 03971 in it, as if it is lame 06455, or blind 05787, or hath any ill 07451 blemish 03971, thou shalt not sacrifice 02076 it to the LORD 03068 thy God 0430.

22 Thou shalt eat 0398 it within thy gates 08179: the unclean 02931 and the clean 02889 person shall eat it alike 03162, as the roebuck 06643, and as the hart 0354.

23 Only thou shalt not eat 0398 its blood 01818; thou shalt pour 08210 it upon the ground 0776 as water 04325.

1 Observe 08104 the month 02320 Abib 024, and keep 06213 the passover 06453 to the LORD 03068 thy God 0430: for in the month 02320 of Abib 024 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 brought thee forth 03318 from Egypt 04714 by night 03915.

2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice 02076 the passover 06453 to the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, of the flock 06629 and the herd 01241, in the place 04725 which the LORD 03068 shall choose 0977 to place 07931 his name 08034 there.

3 Thou shalt eat 0398 no leavened bread 02557 with it; seven 07651 days 03117 shalt thou eat 0398 unleavened bread 04682 with it, even the bread 03899 of affliction 06040; for thou camest forth 03318 from the land 0776 of Egypt 04714 in haste 02649: that thou mayest remember 02142 the day 03117 when thou camest forth 03318 from the land 0776 of Egypt 04714 all the days 03117 of thy life 02416.

4 And there shall be no leavened bread 07603 seen 07200 with thee in all thy land 01366 seven 07651 days 03117; neither shall there any thing of the flesh 01320, which thou didst sacrifice 02076 the first 07223 day 03117 at evening 06153, remain 03885 all night until the morning 01242.

5 Thou mayest 03201 not sacrifice 02076 the passover 06453 within any 0259 of thy gates 08179, which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 giveth 05414 thee: sacrifice: or, kill

6 But at the place 04725 which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 shall choose 0977 to place 07931 his name 08034 in, there thou shalt sacrifice 02076 the passover 06453 at evening 06153, at the setting 0935 of the sun 08121, at the time 04150 of thy departure 03318 from Egypt 04714.

7 And thou shalt roast 01310 and eat 0398 it in the place 04725 which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 shall choose 0977: and thou shalt return 06437 in the morning 01242, and go 01980 to thy tents 0168.

8 Six 08337 days 03117 thou shalt eat 0398 unleavened bread 04682: and on the seventh 07637 day 03117 shall be a solemn assembly 06116 to the LORD 03068 thy God 0430: in it thou shalt do 06213 no work 04399. solemn…: Heb. restraint

10 And thou shalt keep 06213 the feast 02282 of weeks 07620 to the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 with a tribute 04530 of a freewill offering 05071 of thy hand 03027, which thou shalt give 05414 to the LORD thy God, according as the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath blessed 01288 thee: a tribute: or, sufficiency

12 And thou shalt remember 02142 that thou wast a slave 05650 in Egypt 04714: and thou shalt observe 08104 and do 06213 these statutes 02706.

13 Thou shalt observe 06213 the feast 02282 of tabernacles 05521 seven 07651 days 03117, after that thou hast gathered 0622 in thy grain 01637 and thy wine 03342: corn…: Heb. floor, and thy winepress

3 And hath gone 03212 and served 05647 other 0312 gods 0430, and worshipped 07812 them, either the sun 08121, or moon 03394, or any of the host 06635 of heaven 08064, which I have not commanded 06680;

4 And it shall be told 05046 thee, and thou hast heard 08085 of it, and enquired 01875 diligently 03190, and, behold, it is true 0571, and the thing 01697 certain 03559, that such abomination 08441 is wrought 06213 in Israel 03478:

5 Then shalt thou bring forth 03318 to thy gates 08179 that man 0376 or that woman 0802, who have committed 06213 that wicked 07451 thing 01697, even that man 0376 or that woman 0802, and shalt stone 05619 them with stones 068, till they die 04191.

6 At the mouth 06310 of two 08147 witnesses 05707, or three 07969 witnesses 05707, shall he that is worthy of death 04191 be put to death 04191; but at the mouth 06310 of one 0259 witness 05707 he shall not be put to death 04191.

7 The hands 03027 of the witnesses 05707 shall be first 07223 upon him to put him to death 04191, and afterward 0314 the hands 03027 of all the people 05971. So thou shalt remove 01197 the evil 07451 from among 07130 you.

8 If there shall arise a matter 01697 too hard 06381 for thee in judgment 04941, between blood 01818 and blood 01818, between plea 01779 and plea 01779, and between stroke 05061 and stroke 05061, being matters 01697 of controversy 07379 within thy gates 08179: then shalt thou arise 06965, and go up 05927 to the place 04725 which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 shall choose 0977;

9 And thou shalt come 0935 to the priests 03548 the Levites 03881, and to the judge 08199 that shall be in those days 03117, and enquire 01875; and they shall show 05046 thee the sentence 01697 of judgment 04941:

10 And thou shalt do 06213 according to the sentence 06310, 1697, which they of that place 04725 which the LORD 03068 shall choose 0977 shall show 05046 thee; and thou shalt observe 08104 to do 06213 according to all that they inform 03384 thee:

11 According to the sentence 06310 of the law 08451 which they shall teach 03384 thee, and according to the judgment 04941 which they shall tell 0559 thee, thou shalt do 06213: thou shalt not decline 05493 from the sentence 01697 which they shall show 05046 thee, to the right hand 03225, nor to the left 08040.

12 And the man 0376 that will do 06213 presumptuously 02087, and will not hearken 08085 to the priest 03548 that standeth 05975 to minister 08334 there before the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, or to the judge 08199, even that man 0376 shall die 04191: and thou shalt remove 01197 the evil 07451 from Israel 03478. and will…: Heb. not to hearken

13 And all the people 05971 shall hear 08085, and fear 03372, and do no more presumptuously 02102.

14 When thou art come 0935 into the land 0776 which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 giveth 05414 thee, and shalt possess 03423 it, and shalt dwell 03427 in it, and shalt say 0559, I will set 07760 a king 04428 over me, like as all the nations 01471 that are about 05439 me;

15 Thou shalt surely 07760 set 07760 him king 04428 over thee, whom the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 shall choose 0977: one from among 07130 thy brethren 0251 shalt thou set 07760 king 04428 over thee: thou mayest 03201 not set 05414 a stranger 05237, 376 over thee, who is not thy brother 0251.

16 But he shall not multiply 07235 horses 05483 to himself, nor cause the people 05971 to return 07725 to Egypt 04714, to the end that he should multiply 07235 horses 05483: forasmuch as the LORD 03068 hath said 0559 to you, Ye shall henceforth 03254 return 07725 no more that way 01870.

17 Neither shall he multiply 07235 wives 0802 to himself, that his heart 03824 may turn 05493 not away: neither shall he greatly 03966 multiply 07235 to himself silver 03701 and gold 02091.

18 And it shall be, when he sitteth 03427 upon the throne 03678 of his kingdom 04467, that he shall write 03789 him a copy 04932 of this law 08451 in a book 05612 out of that which is before 06440 the priests 03548 the Levites 03881:

19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read 07121 in it all the days 03117 of his life 02416: that he may learn 03925 to fear 03372 the LORD 03068 his God 0430, to keep 08104 all the words 01697 of this law 08451 and these statutes 02706, to do 06213 them:

20 That his heart 03824 may not be lifted 07311 above his brethren 0251, and that he may not turn aside 05493 from the commandment 04687, to the right hand 03225, or to the left 08040: to the end that he may prolong 0748 his days 03117 in his kingdom 04467, he, and his children 01121, in the midst 07130 of Israel 03478.

18

1 The priests 03548 the Levites 03881, and all the tribe 07626 of Levi 03878, shall have no part 02506 nor inheritance 05159 with Israel 03478: they shall eat 0398 the offerings 0801 of the LORD 03068 made by fire 0801, and his inheritance 05159.

2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance 05159 among 07130 their brethren 0251: the LORD 03068 is their inheritance 05159, as he hath said 01696 to them.

3 And this shall be the priest’s 03548 due 04941 from the people 05971, from them that offer 02076 a sacrifice 02077, whether ox 07794 or sheep 07716; and they shall give 05414 to the priest 03548 the shoulder 02220, and the two cheeks 03895, and the stomach 06896.

4 The firstfruit 07225 also of thy grain 01715, of thy wine 08492, and of thy oil 03323, and the first 07225 of the fleece 01488 of thy sheep 06629, shalt thou give 05414 him.

5 For the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath chosen 0977 him out of all thy tribes 07626, to stand 05975 to minister 08334 in the name 08034 of the LORD 03068, him and his sons 01121 for ever 03117.

6 And if a Levite 03881 shall come 0935 from any 0259 of thy gates 08179 out of all Israel 03478, where he sojourned 01481, and come 0935 with all the desire 0185 of his mind 05315 to the place 04725 which the LORD 03068 shall choose 0977;

7 Then he shall minister 08334 in the name 08034 of the LORD 03068 his God 0430, as all his brethren 0251 the Levites 03881 do, who stand 05975 there before 06440 the LORD 03068.

8 They shall have like portions 02506 to eat 0398, beside that which cometh of the sale 04465 of their fathers’ 01 estates. that…: Heb. his sale by the fathers

9 When thou art come 0935 into the land 0776 which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 giveth 05414 thee, thou shalt not learn 03925 to do 06213 after the abominations 08441 of those nations 01471.

10 There shall not be found 04672 among you any one that maketh his son 01121 or his daughter 01323 to pass 05674 through the fire 0784, or that useth 07080 divination 07081, or an observer of times 06049, or an enchanter 05172, or a witch 03784,

11 Or a charmer 02266, 2267, or a consulter 07592 with mediums 0178, or a wizard 03049, or one who calls up 01875 the dead 04191.

12 For all that do 06213 these things are an abomination 08441 to the LORD 03068: and because 01558 of these abominations 08441 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 doth drive them out 03423 from before 06440 thee.

13 Thou shalt be perfect 08549 with the LORD 03068 thy God 0430. perfect: or, upright, or, sincere

14 For these nations 01471, which thou shalt possess 03423, hearkened 08085 to observers of times 06049, and to diviners 07080: but as for thee, the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath not permitted 05414 thee so to do. possess: or, inherit

15 The LORD 03068 thy God 0430 will raise up 06965 to thee a Prophet 05030 from the midst 07130 of thee, of thy brethren 0251, like me; to him ye shall hearken 08085;

16 According to all that thou didst desire 07592 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 in Horeb 02722 in the day 03117 of the assembly 06951, saying 0559, Let me not hear 08085 again 03254 the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068 my God 0430, neither let me see 07200 this great 01419 fire 0784 any more, that I may not die 04191.

17 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to me, They have well 03190 spoken of that which they have spoken 01696.

18 I will raise up to them 06965 a Prophet 05030 from among 07130 their brethren 0251, like thee, and will put 05414 my words 01697 in his mouth 06310; and he shall speak 01696 to them all that I shall command 06680 him.

19 And it shall come to pass, that whoever 0376 will not hearken 08085 to my words 01697 which he shall speak 01696 in my name 08034, I will require 01875 it of him.

20 But the prophet 05030, who shall presume 02102 to speak 01696 a word 01697 in my name 08034, which I have not commanded 06680 him to speak 01696, or that shall speak 01696 in the name 08034 of other 0312 gods 0430, even that prophet 05030 shall die 04191.

21 And if thou shalt say 0559 in thy heart 03824, How shall we know 03045 the word 01697 which the LORD 03068 hath not spoken 01696?

22 When a prophet 05030 speaketh 01696 in the name 08034 of the LORD 03068, if the thing 01697 doth not follow, nor come to pass 0935, that is the thing 01697 which the LORD 03068 hath not spoken 01696, but the prophet 05030 hath spoken 01696 it presumptuously 02087: thou shalt not be afraid 01481 of him.

19

1 When the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath cut off 03772 the nations 01471, whose land 0776 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 giveth 05414 thee, and thou succeedest 03423 them, and dwellest 03427 in their cities 05892, and in their houses 01004; succeedest: Heb. inheritest, or, possessest

2 Thou shalt set apart 0914 three 07969 cities 05892 for thee in the midst 08432 of thy land 0776, which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 giveth 05414 thee to possess 03423 it.

3 Thou shalt prepare 03559 thee a way 01870, and divide the bounds 01366 of thy land 0776, which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 giveth thee to inherit 05157, into three parts 08027, that every slayer 07523 may flee 05127 there.

4 And this is the case 01697 of the slayer 07523, who shall flee 05127 there, that he may live 02425: Whoever killeth 05221 his neighbour 07453 unintentionally 01097, 1847, whom he hated 08130 not in time 08543 past 08032; in…: Heb. from yesterday the third day

5 As when a man goeth 0935 into the forest 03293 with his neighbour 07453 to hew 02404 wood 06086, and his hand 03027 maketh a stroke 05080 with the axe 01631 to cut down 03772 the tree 06086, and the head 01270 slippeth 05394 from the helve 06086, and falleth 04672 upon his neighbour 07453, that he dieth 04191; he shall flee 05127 to one 0259 of these cities 05892, and live 02425: head: Heb. ironhelve: Heb. woodlighteth…: Heb. findeth

6 Lest the avenger 01350 of blood 01818 shall pursue 07291 the slayer 0310, 7523, while 03588 his heart 03824 is hot 03179, and overtake 05381 him, because the way 01870 is long 07235, and slay 05221 him 05315; though he was not worthy 04941 of death 04194, inasmuch as 03588 he hated 08130 him not in time 08543 past 08032. slay…: Heb. smite him in lifein…: Heb. from yesterday the third day

7 Therefore I command 06680 thee, saying 0559, Thou shalt set apart 0914 three 07969 cities 05892 for thee.

8 And if the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 shall enlarge 07337 thy land 01366, as he hath sworn 07650 to thy fathers 01, and give 05414 thee all the land 0776 which he promised 01696 to give 05414 to thy fathers 01;

9 If thou shalt keep 08104 all these commandments 04687 to do 06213 them, which I command 06680 thee this day 03117, to love 0157 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, and to walk 03212 ever 03117 in his ways 01870; then shalt thou add 03254 three 07969 cities 05892 more for thee, besides these three 07969:

10 That innocent 05355 blood 01818 may not be shed 08210 in 07130 thy land 0776, which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 giveth 05414 thee for an inheritance 05159, and so blood 01818 be upon thee.

11 But if any man 0376 shall hate 08130 his neighbour 07453, and lie in wait 0693 for him, and rise up 06965 against him, and smite 05221 him mortally 05315 that he dieth 04191, and he shall flee 05127 into one 0259 of these 0411 cities 05892: mortally: Heb. in life

12 Then the elders 02205 of his city 05892 shall send 07971 and bring 03947 him from there, and deliver 05414 him into the hand 03027 of the avenger 01350 of blood 01818, that he may die 04191.

13 Thy eye 05869 shall not pity 02347 him, but thou shall remove 01197 the guilt of innocent 05355 blood 01818 from Israel 03478, that it may be well 02895 with thee.

14 Thou shalt not remove 05253 thy neighbour’s 07453 landmark 01366, which they of old time 07223 have set 01379 in thy inheritance 05159, which thou shalt inherit 05157 in the land 0776 that the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 giveth 05414 thee to possess 03423 it.

15 One 0259 witness 05707 shall not rise up 06965 against a man 0376 for any iniquity 05771, or for any sin 02403, in any sin 02399 that he sinneth 02398: at the mouth 06310 of two 08147 witnesses 05707, or at the mouth 06310 of three 07969 witnesses 05707, shall the matter 01697 be established 06965.

16 If a false 02555 witness 05707 shall rise up 06965 against any man 0376 to testify 06030 against him that which is wrong 05627; that…: or, falling away

17 Then both 08147 the men 0582, between whom the controversy 07379 is, shall stand 05975 before 06440 the LORD 03068, before 06440 the priests 03548 and the judges 08199, who shall be in those days 03117;

18 And the judges 08199 shall make diligent 03190 inquisition 01875: and, behold, if the witness 05707 is a false 08267 witness 05707, and hath testified 06030 falsely 08267 against his brother 0251;

19 Then shall ye do 06213 to him, as he had thought 02161 to do 06213 to his brother 0251: so shalt thou remove 01197 the evil 07451 from among 07130 you.

20 And those who remain 07604 shall hear 08085, and fear 03372, and shall henceforth 03254 commit 06213 no more any 01697 such evil 07451 among 07130 you.

21 And thy eye 05869 shall not pity 02347; but life 05315 shall go for life 05315, eye 05869 for eye 05869, tooth 08127 for tooth 08127, hand 03027 for hand 03027, foot 07272 for foot 07272.

1 When thou goest out 03318 to battle 04421 against thy enemies 0341, and seest 07200 horses 05483, and chariots 07393, and a people 05971 more 07227 than thou, be not afraid 03372 of them: for the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 is with thee, who brought thee 05927 out of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714.

2 And it shall be, when ye are come near 07126 to the battle 04421, that the priest 03548 shall approach 05066 and speak 01696 to the people 05971,

3 And shall say 0559 to them, Hear 08085, O Israel 03478, ye approach 07131 this day 03117 to battle 04421 against your enemies 0341: let not your hearts 03824 faint 07401, fear 03372 not, and do not tremble 02648, neither be ye terrified 06206 because 06440 of them; faint: Heb. be tendertremble: Heb. make haste

4 For the LORD 03068 your God 0430 is he that goeth 01980 with you, to fight 03898 for you against your enemies 0341, to save 03467 you.

5 And the officers 07860 shall speak 01696 to the people 05971, saying 0559, What man 0376 is there that hath built 01129 a new 02319 house 01004, and hath not dedicated 02596 it? let him go 03212 and return 07725 to his house 01004, lest he should die 04191 in the battle 04421, and another 0312 man 0376 should dedicate 02596 it.

6 And what man 0376 is he that hath planted 05193 a vineyard 03754, and hath not yet eaten 02490 of it? let him also go 03212 and return 07725 to his house 01004, lest he should die 04191 in the battle 04421, and another 0312 man 0376 should eat 02490 of it. eaten…: Heb. made it common

7 And what man 0376 is there that hath betrothed 0781 a wife 0802, and hath not taken 03947 her? let him go 03212 and return 07725 to his house 01004, lest he should die 04191 in battle 04421, and another 0312 man 0376 should take 03947 her.

8 And the officers 07860 shall speak 01696 further 03254 to the people 05971, and they shall say 0559, What man 0376 is there that is fearful 03373 and fainthearted 07390, 3824? let him go 03212 and return 07725 to his house 01004, lest his brethren’s 0251 heart 03824 should faint 04549 as well as his heart 03824. faint: Heb. melt

9 And it shall be, when the officers 07860 have finished 03615 speaking 01696 to the people 05971, that they shall make 06485 captains 08269 of the armies 06635 to lead 07218 the people 05971. to lead…: Heb. to be in the head of the people

10 When thou comest near 07126 to a city 05892 to fight 03898 against it, then proclaim 07121 peace 07965 to it.

11 And it shall be, if it shall make thee answer 06030 of peace 07965, and open 06605 to thee, then it shall be, that all the people 05971 that are found 04672 in it shall be forced labourers 04522 to thee, and they shall serve 05647 thee.

12 And if it will make no peace 07999 with thee, but will make 06213 war 04421 against thee, then thou shalt besiege 06696 it:

13 And when the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath delivered 05414 it into thy hands 03027, thou shalt smite 05221 every male 02138 of it with the edge 06310 of the sword 02719:

14 But the women 0802, and the little ones 02945, and the cattle 0929, and all that is in the city 05892, even all the spoil 07998 of it, shalt thou take 0962 to thyself; and thou shalt eat 0398 the spoil 07998 of thy enemies 0341, which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath given 05414 thee. take: Heb. spoil

15 Thus shalt thou do 06213 to all the cities 05892 which are very 03966 distant 07350 from thee, which 02007 are not of the cities 05892 of these nations 01471.

16 But of the cities 05892 of these people 05971, which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 doth give 05414 thee for an inheritance 05159, thou shalt save alive 02421 nothing that breatheth 05397:

17 But thou shalt utterly 02763 destroy 02763 them; namely, the Hittites 02850, and the Amorites 0567, the Canaanites 03669, and the Perizzites 06522, the Hivites 02340, and the Jebusites 02983; as the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath commanded 06680 thee:

18 That they may not teach 03925 you to do 06213 after all their abominations 08441, which they have done 06213 to their gods 0430; so should ye sin 02398 against the LORD 03068 your God 0430.

19 When thou shalt besiege 06696 a city 05892 a long 07227 time 03117, in making war 03898 against it to take 08610 it, thou shalt not destroy 07843 the trees 06086 of it by forcing 05080 an axe 01631 against them: for thou mayest eat 0398 of them, and thou shalt not cut them down 03772 (for the tree 06086 of the field 07704 is man’s 0120 life) to employ 0935 them in the siege 06440, 4692: for the…: or, for, O man, the tree of the field is to be employed in the siegeto employ…: Heb. to go from before thee

1 If one shall be found 04672 slain 02491 in the land 0127 which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 giveth 05414 thee to possess 03423 it, lying 05307 in the field 07704, and it be not known 03045 who hath slain 05221 him:

2 Then thy elders 02205 and thy judges 08199 shall come forth 03318, and they shall measure 04058 to the cities 05892 which are around 05439 him that is slain 02491:

3 And it shall be, that the city 05892 which is next 07138 to the slain man 02491, even the elders 02205 of that city 05892 shall take 03947 an heifer 01241, 5697, which hath not been worked 05647, and which hath not pulled 04900 the yoke 05923;

4 And the elders 02205 of that city 05892 shall bring down 03381 the heifer 05697 to a rough 0386 valley 05158, which is neither tilled 05647 nor sown 02232, and shall strike off 06202 the heifer’s 05697 neck 06202 there in the valley 05158:

5 And the priests 03548 the sons 01121 of Levi 03878 shall come near 05066; for them the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath chosen 0977 to minister 08334 to him, and to bless 01288 in the name 08034 of the LORD 03068; and by their word 06310 shall every controversy 07379 and every stroke 05061 be tried: word: Heb. mouth

6 And all the elders 02205 of that city 05892, that are next 07138 to the slain 02491 man, shall wash 07364 their hands 03027 over the heifer 05697 that is beheaded 06202 in the valley 05158:

7 And they shall answer 06030 and say 0559, Our hands 03027 have not shed 08210 this blood 01818, neither have our eyes 05869 seen 07200 it.

8 Be merciful 03722, O LORD 03068, to thy people 05971 Israel 03478, whom thou hast redeemed 06299, and lay 05414 not innocent 05355 blood 01818 to the charge 07130 of thy people 05971 Israel 03478. And the blood 01818 shall be forgiven 03722 them. unto thy people of: Heb. in the midst, etc

9 So shalt thou remove 01197 the guilt of innocent 05355 blood 01818 from among 07130 you, when thou shalt do 06213 that which is right 03477 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068.

10 When thou goest forth 03318 to war 04421 against thy enemies 0341, and the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath delivered 05414 them into thy hands 03027, and thou hast taken 07617 them captive 07628,

11 And thou seest 07200 among the captives 07633 a beautiful 08389, 3303 woman 0802, and hast a desire 02836 to her, that thou wouldest have her 03947 for thy wife 0802;

12 Then thou shalt bring 0935 her home 08432 to thy house 01004; and she shall shave 01548 her head 07218, and pare 06213 her nails 06856; pare: or, suffer to grow: Heb. make, or, dress

13 And she shall put 05493 off from her the raiment 08071 of her captivity 07628, and shall remain 03427 in thy house 01004, and bewail 01058 her father 01 and her mother 0517 a full 03117 month 03391: and after 0310 that thou shalt go 0935 in to her, and be her husband 01166, and she shall be thy wife 0802.

14 And it shall be, if thou shalt have no delight 02654 in her, then thou shalt let her go 07971 where she will 05315; but thou shalt not sell 04376 her at all 04376 for money 03701, thou shalt not make merchandise 06014 of her, because 0834 thou hast humbled 06031 her.

15 If a man 0376 shall have two 08147 wives 0802, one 0259 beloved 0157, and another 0259 hated 08130, and they have borne 03205 him children 01121, both the beloved 0157 and the hated 08130; and if the firstborn 01060 son 01121 be hers that was hated 08146:

16 Then it shall be, when 03117 he maketh his sons 01121 to inherit 05157 that which he hath, that he may 03201 not prefer the son 01121 of the beloved 0157 firstborn 01069 before 06440 the son 01121 of the hated 08130, which is indeed the firstborn 01060:

17 But he shall acknowledge 05234 the son 01121 of the hated 08130 for the firstborn 01060, by giving 05414 him a double 08147 portion 06310 of all that he hath 04672: for he is the beginning 07225 of his strength 0202; the right 04941 of the firstborn 01062 is his. that…: Heb. that is found with him

18 If a man 0376 shall have a stubborn 05637 and rebellious 04784 son 01121, who will not obey 08085 the voice 06963 of his father 01, or the voice 06963 of his mother 0517, and who, when they have chastened 03256 him, will not hearken 08085 to them:

19 Then shall his father 01 and his mother 0517 lay hold 08610 on him, and bring him out 03318 to the elders 02205 of his city 05892, and to the gate 08179 of his place 04725;

20 And they shall say 0559 to the elders 02205 of his city 05892, This our son 01121 is stubborn 05637 and rebellious 04784, he will not obey 08085 our voice 06963; he is a glutton 02151, and a drunkard 05433.

21 And all the men 0582 of his city 05892 shall stone 07275 him with stones 068, that he may die 04191: so shalt thou remove 01197 evil 07451 from among 07130 you; and all Israel 03478 shall hear 08085, and fear 03372.

22 And if a man 0376 shall have committed a sin 02399 worthy of 04941 death 04194, and he must be put to death 04191, and thou shalt hang 08518 him on a tree 06086:

23 His body 05038 shall not remain all night 03885 upon the tree 06086, but thou shalt surely 06912 bury 06912 him that day 03117; (for he that is hanged 08518 is accursed 07045 of God 0430;) that thy land 0127 may not be defiled 02930, which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 giveth 05414 thee for an inheritance 05159. accursed…: Heb. the curse of God

1 Thou shalt not see 07200 thy brother’s 0251 ox 07794 or his sheep 07716 go astray 05080, and without thy help 05956 from them: thou shalt in any case 07725 bring them again 07725 to thy brother 0251.

2 And if thy brother 0251 shall not be near 07138 to thee, or if thou shalt not know 03045 him, then thou shalt bring 0622 it to 08432 thy own house 01004, and it shall be with thee until thy brother 0251 shall seek 01875 after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again 07725.

3 In like manner 03651 shalt thou do 06213 with his donkey 02543; and so shalt thou do 06213 with his raiment 08071; and with all lost things 09 of thy brother’s 0251, which he hath lost 06, and thou hast found 04672, shalt thou do 06213 likewise: thou mayest 03201 not without thy help 05956.

4 Thou shalt not see 07200 thy brother’s 0251 donkey 02543 or his ox 07794 fall down 05307 by the way 01870, and without thy help 05956 from them: thou shalt surely 06965 help him to lift them up again 06965.

5 A woman 0802 shall not wear that which pertaineth 03627 to a man 01397, neither shall a man 01397 put 03847 on a woman’s 0802 garment 08071: for all that do 06213 so 0428 are abomination 08441 to the LORD 03068 thy God 0430.

6 If a bird’s 06833 nest 07064 shall chance 07122 to be before 06440 thee in the way 01870 on any tree 06086, or on the ground 0776, whether with young ones 0667, or eggs 01000, and the dam 0517 sitting 07257 upon the young 0667, or upon the eggs 01000, thou shalt not take 03947 the dam 0517 with the young 01121:

7 But thou shalt surely 07971 let the dam 0517 go 07971, and take 03947 the young 01121 to thee; that it may be well 03190 with thee, and that thou mayest prolong 0748 thy days 03117.

8 When thou buildest 01129 a new 02319 house 01004, then thou shalt make 06213 a low wall 04624 for thy roof 01406, that thou mayest not bring 07760 blood 01818 upon thy house 01004, if any man 05307 shall fall 05307 from there.

9 Thou shalt not sow 02232 thy vineyard 03754 with two kinds of seeds 03610: lest the fruit 04395 of thy seed 02233 which thou hast sown 02232, and the fruit 08393 of thy vineyard 03754, should be defiled 06942. fruit of thy seed: Heb. fulness of the seed

13 If any man 0376 shall take 03947 a wife 0802, and go in 0935 to her, and hate 08130 her,

14 And give 07760 occasions 05949 of speech 01697 against her, and bring 03318 an evil 07451 name 08034 upon her, and say 0559, I took 03947 this woman 0802, and when I came 07126 to her, I found 04672 her not a maid 01331:

15 Then shall the father 01 of the damsel 05291, and her mother 0517, take 03947 and bring forth 03318 the tokens of the damsel’s 05291 virginity 01331 to the elders 02205 of the city 05892 in the gate 08179:

16 And the damsel’s 05291 father 01 shall say 0559 to the elders 02205, I gave 05414 my daughter 01323 to this man 0376 for a wife 0802, and he hateth 08130 her;

17 And, lo, he hath given 07760 occasions 05949 of speech 01697 against her, saying 0559, I found 04672 not thy daughter 01323 a maid 01331; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s 01323 virginity 01331. And they shall spread 06566 the cloth 08071 before 06440 the elders 02205 of the city 05892.

18 And the elders 02205 of that city 05892 shall take 03947 that man 0376 and chastise 03256 him;

19 And they shall fine 06064 him an hundred 03967 shekels of silver 03701, and give 05414 them to the father 01 of the damsel 05291, because he hath brought 03318 an evil 07451 name 08034 upon a virgin 01330 of Israel 03478: and she shall be his wife 0802; he may 03201 not put her away 07971 all his days 03117.

20 But if this thing 01697 shall be true 0571, and the tokens of virginity 01331 be not found 04672 for the damsel 05291:

21 Then they shall bring out 03318 the damsel 05291 to the door 06607 of her father’s 01 house 01004, and the men 0582 of her city 05892 shall stone 05619 her with stones 068 that she may die 04191: because she hath wrought 06213 folly 05039 in Israel 03478, to play the harlot 02181 in her father’s 01 house 01004: so shalt thou remove 01197 evil 07451 from among 07130 you.

22 If a man 0376 shall be found 04672 lying 07901 with a woman 0802 married 01166 to an husband 01167, then they shall both of them 08147 die 04191, both the man 0376 that lay 07901 with the woman 0802, and the woman 0802: so shalt thou remove 01197 evil 07451 from Israel 03478.

23 If a damsel 05291 that is a virgin 01330 shall be betrothed 0781 to an husband 0376, and a man 0376 shall find 04672 her in the city 05892, and lie 07901 with her;

24 Then ye shall bring 03318 them both 08147 out to the gate 08179 of that city 05892, and ye shall stone 05619 them with stones 068 that they may die 04191; the damsel 05291, because 0834, 1697 she cried 06817 not, being in the city 05892; and the man 0376, because 0834, 1697 he hath humbled 06031 his neighbour’s 07453 wife 0802: so thou shalt remove 01197 evil 07451 from among 07130 you.

25 But if a man 0376 shall find 04672 a betrothed 0781 damsel 05291 in the field 07704, and the man 0376 shall force 02388 her, and lie 07901 with her: then the man 0376 only that lay 07901 with her shall die 04191: force: or, take strong hold of

26 But to the damsel 05291 thou shalt do 06213 nothing 01697; there is in the damsel 05291 no sin 02399 worthy of death 04194: for as when a man 0376 riseth 06965 against his neighbour 07453, and slayeth 07523, 5315 him, even so is this matter 01697:

27 For he found 04672 her in the field 07704, and the betrothed 0781 damsel 05291 cried 06817, and there was none to save 03467 her.

28 If a man 0376 shall find 04672 a damsel 05291 that is a virgin 01330, who is not betrothed 0781, and lay hold 08610 on her, and lie 07901 with her, and they be found 04672;

29 Then the man 0376 that lay 07901 with her shall give 05414 to the damsel’s 05291 father 01 fifty 02572 shekels of silver 03701, and she shall be his wife 0802; because he hath humbled 06031 her, he may 03201 not put her away 07971 all his days 03117.

2 A bastard 04464 shall not enter 0935 into the congregation 06951 of the LORD 03068; even to his tenth 06224 generation 01755 shall he not enter 0935 into the congregation 06951 of the LORD 03068.

3 An Ammonite 05984 or Moabite 04125 shall not enter 0935 into the congregation 06951 of the LORD 03068; even to their tenth 06224 generation 01755 shall they not enter 0935 into the congregation 06951 of the LORD 03068 for 05704 ever 05769:

4 Because 01697 they met 06923 you not with bread 03899 and with water 04325 in the way 01870, when ye came forth 03318 from Egypt 04714; and because they hired 07936 against thee Balaam 01109 the son 01121 of Beor 01160 of Pethor 06604 of Mesopotamia 0763, to curse 07043 thee.

5 Nevertheless the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 would 014 not hearken 08085 to Balaam 01109; but the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 turned 02015 the curse 07045 into a blessing 01293 to thee, because the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 loved 0157 thee.

7 Thou shalt not abhor 08581 an Edomite 0130; for he is thy brother 0251: thou shalt not abhor 08581 an Egyptian 04713; because thou wast a stranger 01616 in his land 0776.

8 The children 01121 that are begotten 03205 by them shall enter 0935 into the congregation 06951 of the LORD 03068 in their third 07992 generation 01755.

24 When thou comest 0935 into thy neighbour’s 07453 vineyard 03754, then thou mayest satisfy 0398 thy appetite 07648 with grapes 06025 at thy own pleasure 05315; but thou shalt not put 05414 any in thy vessel 03627.

25 When thou comest 0935 into the standing grain 07054 of thy neighbour 07453, then thou mayest pluck 06998 the heads 04425 with thy hand 03027; but thou shalt not move 05130 a sickle 02770 to thy neighbour’s 07453 standing grain 07054.

15 At his day 03117 thou shalt give 05414 him his hire 07939, neither shall the sun 08121 go down 0935 upon it; for he is poor 06041, and setteth 05375 his heart 05315 upon it: lest he should cry 07121 against thee to the LORD 03068, and it be sin 02399 to thee. setteth…: Heb. lifteth his soul unto it

18 But thou shalt remember 02142 that thou wast a slave 05650 in Egypt 04714, and the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 redeemed 06299 thee from there: therefore I command 06680 thee to do 06213 this thing 01697.

19 When thou cuttest down 07114 thy harvest 07105 in thy field 07704, and hast forgot 07911 a sheaf 06016 in the field 07704, thou shalt not go again 07725 to fetch 03947 it: it shall be for the stranger 01616, for the fatherless 03490, and for the widow 0490: that the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 may bless 01288 thee in all the work 04639 of thy hands 03027.

7 And if the man 0376 shall not desire 02654 to take 03947 his brother’s wife 02994, then let his brother’s wife 02994 go up 05927 to the gate 08179 to the elders 02205, and say 0559, My husband’s brother 02993 refuseth 03985 to raise up 06965 to his brother 0251 a name 08034 in Israel 03478, he will 014 not perform the duty of my husband’s brother 02992. brother’s: or, next kinsman’s

16 For all that do 06213 such things 0428, and all that do 06213 unrighteously 05766, are an abomination 08441 to the LORD 03068 thy God 0430.

17 Remember 02142 what Amalek 06002 did 06213 to thee by the way 01870, when ye had come forth 03318 from Egypt 04714;

18 How he met 07136 thee by the way 01870, and smote those behind 02179 thee, even all that were feeble 02826 behind 0310 thee, when thou wast faint 05889 and weary 03023; and he feared 03373 not God 0430.

3 And thou shalt go 0935 to the priest 03548 that shall be in those days 03117, and say 0559 to him, I profess 05046 this day 03117 to the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, that I have come 0935 to the country 0776 which the LORD 03068 swore 07650 to our fathers 01 to give 05414 us.

4 And the priest 03548 shall take 03947 the basket 02935 from thy hand 03027, and set it down 03240 before 06440 the altar 04196 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430.

5 And thou shalt speak 06030 and say 0559 before 06440 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, A Syrian 0761 ready to perish 06 was my father 01, and he went down 03381 to Egypt 04714, and sojourned 01481 there with 04962 a few 04592, and became there a nation 01471, great 01419, mighty 06099, and populous 07227:

6 And the Egyptians 04713 oppressed 07489 us, and afflicted 06031 us, and laid 05414 upon us hard 07186 bondage 05656:

7 And when we cried 06817 to the LORD 03068 God 0430 of our fathers 01, the LORD 03068 heard 08085 our voice 06963, and looked 07200 on our affliction 06040, and our labour 05999, and our oppression 03906:

8 And the LORD 03068 brought us 03318 out of Egypt 04714 with a mighty 02389 hand 03027, and with an outstretched 05186 arm 02220, and with great 01419 terribleness 04172, and with signs 0226, and with wonders 04159:

9 And he hath brought 0935 us into this place 04725, and hath given 05414 us this land 0776, even a land 0776 that floweth 02100 with milk 02461 and honey 01706.

10 And now, behold, I have brought 0935 the firstfruits 06529, 7225 of the land 0127, which thou, O LORD 03068, hast given 05414 me. And thou shalt set 03240 it before 06440 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, and worship 07812 before 06440 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430:

11 And thou shalt rejoice 08055 in every good 02896 thing which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath given 05414 to thee, and to thy house 01004, thou, and the Levite 03881, and the stranger 01616 that is among 07130 you.

12 When thou hast finished 03615 tithing 06237 all the tithes 04643 of thy increase 08393 the third 07992 year 08141, which is the year 08141 of tithing 04643, and hast given 05414 it to the Levite 03881, the stranger 01616, the fatherless 03490, and the widow 0490, that they may eat 0398 within thy gates 08179, and be filled 07646;

13 Then thou shalt say 0559 before 06440 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, I have brought away 01197 the hallowed things 06944 out of my house 01004, and also have given 05414 them to the Levite 03881, and to the stranger 01616, to the fatherless 03490, and to the widow 0490, according to all thy commandments 04687 which thou hast commanded 06680 me: I have not transgressed 05674 thy commandments 04687, neither have I forgotten 07911 them:

14 I have not eaten 0398 of it in my mourning 0205, neither have I taken away 01197 any of it for any unclean 02931 use, nor given 05414 any of it for the dead 04191: but I have hearkened 08085 to the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068 my God 0430, and have done 06213 according to all that thou hast commanded 06680 me.

15 Look down 08259 from thy holy 06944 habitation 04583, from heaven 08064, and bless 01288 thy people 05971 Israel 03478, and the land 0127 which thou hast given 05414 us, as thou didst swear 07650 to our fathers 01, a land 0776 that floweth 02100 with milk 02461 and honey 01706.

16 This day 03117 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath commanded 06680 thee to perform 06213 these statutes 02706 and judgments 04941: thou shalt therefore keep 08104 and do 06213 them with all thy heart 03824, and with all thy soul 05315.

17 Thou hast proclaimed 0559 the LORD 03068 this day 03117 to be thy God 0430, and to walk 03212 in his ways 01870, and to keep 08104 his statutes 02706, and his commandments 04687, and his judgments 04941, and to hearken 08085 to his voice 06963:

18 And the LORD 03068 hath proclaimed 0559 thee this day 03117 to be his special 05459 people 05971, as he hath promised 01696 thee, and that thou shouldest keep 08104 all his commandments 04687;

19 And to make 05414 thee high 05945 above all nations 01471 which he hath made 06213, in praise 08416, and in name 08034, and in honour 08597; and that thou mayest be an holy 06918 people 05971 to the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, as he hath spoken 01696.

27

1 And Moses 04872 with the elders 02205 of Israel 03478 commanded 06680 the people 05971, saying 0559, Keep 08104 all the commandments 04687 which I command 06680 you this day 03117.

2 And it shall be on the day 03117 when ye shall pass over 05674 Jordan 03383 to the land 0776 which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 giveth 05414 thee, that thou shalt set thee up 06965 great 01419 stones 068, and plaster 07874 them with plaster 07875:

3 And thou shalt write 03789 upon them all the words 01697 of this law 08451, when thou hast passed over 05674, that thou mayest enter in 0935 to the land 0776 which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 giveth 05414 thee, a land 0776 that floweth 02100 with milk 02461 and honey 01706; as the LORD 03068 God 0430 of thy fathers 01 hath promised 01696 thee.

4 Therefore it shall be when ye have gone over 05674 Jordan 03383, that ye shall set up 06965 these stones 068, which I command 06680 you this day 03117, in mount 02022 Ebal 05858, and thou shalt plaster 07875 them with plaster 07874.

5 And there shalt thou build 01129 an altar 04196 to the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, an altar 04196 of stones 068: thou shalt not lift up 05130 any iron 01270 tool upon them.

6 Thou shalt build 01129 the altar 04196 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 of whole 08003 stones 068: and thou shalt offer 05927 on it burnt offerings 05930 to the LORD 03068 thy God 0430:

7 And thou shalt offer 02076 peace offerings 08002, and shalt eat 0398 there, and rejoice 08055 before 06440 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430.

8 And thou shalt write 03789 upon the stones 068 all the words 01697 of this law 08451 very 03190 plainly 0874.

9 And Moses 04872 and the priests 03548 the Levites 03881 spoke 01696 to all Israel 03478, saying 0559, Take heed 05535, and hearken 08085, O Israel 03478; this day 03117 thou art become 01961 the people 05971 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430.

10 Thou shalt therefore obey 08085 the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, and do 06213 his commandments 04687 and his statutes 02706, which I command 06680 thee this day 03117.

11 And Moses 04872 charged 06680 the people 05971 the same day 03117, saying 0559,

12 These shall stand 05975 upon mount 02022 Gerizim 01630 to bless 01288 the people 05971, when ye have come over 05674 Jordan 03383; Simeon 08095, and Levi 03878, and Judah 03063, and Issachar 03485, and Joseph 03130, and Benjamin 01144:

13 And these shall stand 05975 upon mount 02022 Ebal 05858 to curse 07045; Reuben 07205, Gad 01410, and Asher 0836, and Zebulun 02074, Dan 01835, and Naphtali 05321. to curse: Heb. for a cursing

14 And the Levites 03881 shall speak 06030, and say 0559 to all the men 0376 of Israel 03478 with a loud 07311 voice 06963,

15 Cursed 0779 be the man 0376 that maketh 06213 any graven 06459 or molten image 04541, an abomination 08441 to the LORD 03068, the work 04639 of the hands 03027 of the craftsman 02796, and putteth 07760 it in a secret 05643 place.

55 So that he will not give 05414 to any 0259 of them of the flesh 01320 of his children 01121 whom he shall eat 0398: because he hath nothing left 07604 him in the siege 04692, and in the distress 04689, by which thy enemies 0341 shall distress 06693 thee in all thy gates 08179.

63 And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD 03068 rejoiced 07797 over you to do you good 03190, and to multiply 07235 you; so the LORD 03068 will rejoice 07797 over you to destroy 06 you, and to bring you to nought 08045; and ye shall be plucked 05255 from off the land 0127 where thou goest 0935 to possess 03423 it.

64 And the LORD 03068 shall scatter 06327 thee among all people 05971, from the one end 07097 of the earth 0776 even to the other 07097; and there thou shalt serve 05647 other 0312 gods 0430, which neither thou nor thy fathers 01 have known 03045, even wood 06086 and stone 068.

68 And the LORD 03068 shall bring 07725 thee into Egypt 04714 again 07725 with ships 0591, by the way 01870 of which I have said 0559 to thee, Thou shalt see 07200 it no more again 03254: and there ye shall be sold 04376 to your enemies 0341 for male 05650 and female slaves 08198, and no man shall buy 07069 you.

1 These are the words 01697 of the covenant 01285, which the LORD 03068 commanded 06680 Moses 04872 to make 03772 with the children 01121 of Israel 03478 in the land 0776 of Moab 04124, besides the covenant 01285 which he made 03772 with them in Horeb 02722.

2 And Moses 04872 called 07121 to all Israel 03478, and said 0559 to them, Ye have seen 07200 all that the LORD 03068 did 06213 before your eyes 05869 in the land 0776 of Egypt 04714 to Pharaoh 06547, and to all his servants 05650, and to all his land 0776;

4 Yet the LORD 03068 hath not given 05414 you an heart 03820 to perceive 03045, and eyes 05869 to see 07200, and ears 0241 to hear 08085, to this day 03117.

5 And I have led 03212 you forty 0705 years 08141 in the wilderness 04057: your clothes 08008 did not wear out 01086 upon you, and thy shoe 05275 did not wear out 01086 upon thy foot 07272.

6 Ye have not eaten 0398 bread 03899, neither have ye drunk 08354 wine 03196 or strong drink 07941: that ye might know 03045 that I am the LORD 03068 your God 0430.

7 And when ye came 0935 to this place 04725, Sihon 05511 the king 04428 of Heshbon 02809, and Og 05747 the king 04428 of Bashan 01316, came out 03318 against 07125 us to battle 04421, and we smote 05221 them:

8 And we took 03947 their land 0776, and gave 05414 it for an inheritance 05159 to the Reubenites 07206, and to the Gadites 01425, and to the half 02677 tribe 07626 of Manasseh 04520.

9 Keep 08104 therefore the words 01697 of this covenant 01285, and do 06213 them, that ye may prosper 07919 in all that ye do 06213.

10 Ye stand 05324 this day 03117 all of you before 06440 the LORD 03068 your God 0430; your captains 07218 of your tribes 07626, your elders 02205, and your officers 07860, with all the men 0376 of Israel 03478,

11 Your little ones 02945, your wives 0802, and thy stranger 01616 that is in 07130 thy camp 04264, from the hewer 02404 of thy wood 06086 to the drawer 07579 of thy water 04325:

12 That thou shouldest enter 05674 into covenant 01285 with the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, and into his oath 0423, which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 maketh 03772 with thee this day 03117: enter: Heb. pass

13 That he may establish 06965 thee to day 03117 for a people 05971 to himself, and that he may be to thee a God 0430, as he hath said 01696 to thee, and as he hath sworn 07650 to thy fathers 01, to Abraham 085, to Isaac 03327, and to Jacob 03290.

14 Neither with you only do I make 03772 this covenant 01285 and this oath 0423;

15 But with him that standeth 05975 here with us this 03426 day 03117 before 06440 the LORD 03068 our God 0430, and also with him that is not here with us this day 03117:

16 (For ye know 03045 how we have dwelt 03427 in the land 0776 of Egypt 04714; and how we came 05674 through 07130 the nations 01471 which ye passed by 05674;

17 And ye have seen 07200 their abominations 08251, and their idols 01544, wood 06086 and stone 068, silver 03701 and gold 02091, which were among them:) idols: Heb. dungy gods

18 Lest there should be 03426 among you man 0376, or woman 0802, or family 04940, or tribe 07626, whose heart 03824 turneth away 06437 this day 03117 from the LORD 03068 our God 0430, to go 03212 and serve 05647 the gods 0430 of these nations 01471; lest there should be 03426 among you a root 08328 that beareth 06509 gall 07219 and wormwood 03939; gall: or, a poisonous herb: Heb. rosh

19 And it should come to pass, when he heareth 08085 the words 01697 of this curse 0423, that he should bless 01288 himself in his heart 03824, saying 0559, I shall have peace 07965, though 03588 I walk 03212 in the imagination 08307 of my heart 03820, to add 05595 drunkenness 07302 to thirst 06771: imagination: or, stubbornnessdrunkenness…: Heb. the drunken to the thirsty

20 The LORD 03068 will 014 not spare 05545 him, but then the anger 0639 of the LORD 03068 and his jealousy 07068 shall smoke 06225 against that man 0376, and all the curses 0423 that are written 03789 in this book 05612 shall lie 07257 upon him, and the LORD 03068 shall blot out 04229 his name 08034 from under heaven 08064.

21 And the LORD 03068 shall single him out 0914 for evil 07451 from all the tribes 07626 of Israel 03478, according to all the curses 0423 of the covenant 01285 that are written 03789 in this book 05612 of the law 08451: are: Heb. is

22 So that the generation 01755 to come 0314 of your children 01121 that shall arise 06965 after 0310 you, and the stranger 05237 that shall come 0935 from a distant 07350 land 0776, shall say 0559, when they see 07200 the plagues 04347 of that land 0776, and the sicknesses 08463 which the LORD 03068 hath laid 02470 upon it; which…: Heb. wherewith the LORD hath made it sick

23 And that its whole land 0776 is brimstone 01614, and salt 04417, and burning 08316, that it is not sown 02232, nor doth it bear 06779, nor doth any grass 06212 grow 05927 in it, like the overthrow 04114 of Sodom 05467, and Gomorrah 06017, Admah 0126, and Zeboim 06636, which the LORD 03068 overthrew 02015 in his anger 0639, and in his wrath 02534:

24 Even all the nations 01471 shall say 0559, Why hath the LORD 03068 done 06213 thus to this land 0776? what meaneth the heat 02750 of this great 01419 anger 0639?

25 Then men shall say 0559, Because they have forsaken 05800 the covenant 01285 of the LORD 03068 God 0430 of their fathers 01, which he made 03772 with them when he brought them forth 03318 from the land 0776 of Egypt 04714:

26 For they went 03212 and served 05647 other 0312 gods 0430, and worshipped 07812 them, gods 0430 which they knew 03045 not, and which he had not given 02505 to them: whom he…: or, who had not given to them any portiongiven: Heb. divided

27 And the anger 0639 of the LORD 03068 was kindled 02734 against this land 0776, to bring 0935 upon it all the curses 07045 that are written 03789 in this book 05612:

28 And the LORD 03068 rooted 05428 them out of their land 0127 in anger 0639, and in wrath 02534, and in great 01419 indignation 07110, and cast 07993 them into another 0312 land 0776, as it is this day 03117.

29 The secret 05641 things belong to the LORD 03068 our God 0430: but those things which are revealed 01540 belong to us and to our children 01121 for 05704 ever 05769, that we may do 06213 all the words 01697 of this law 08451.

30

1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things 01697 have come 0935 upon thee, the blessing 01293 and the curse 07045, which I have set 05414 before 06440 thee, and thou shalt call 07725 them to mind 03824 among all the nations 01471, where the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath driven 05080 thee,

2 And shalt return 07725 to the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, and shalt obey 08085 his voice 06963 according to all that I command 06680 thee this day 03117, thou and thy children 01121, with all thy heart 03824, and with all thy soul 05315;

3 That then the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 will turn 07725 thy captivity 07622, and have compassion 07355 upon thee, and will return 07725 and gather 06908 thee from all the nations 05971, where the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath scattered 06327 thee.

4 If any of thine shall be driven out 05080 to the outmost 07097 parts of heaven 08064, from there will the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 gather 06908 thee, and from there will he bring 03947 thee:

5 And the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 will bring 0935 thee into the land 0776 which thy fathers 01 possessed 03423, and thou shalt possess 03423 it; and he will do thee good 03190, and multiply 07235 thee above thy fathers 01.

6 And the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 will circumcise 04135 thy heart 03824, and the heart 03824 of thy seed 02233, to love 0157 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 with all thy heart 03824, and with all thy soul 05315, that thou mayest live 02416.

7 And the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 will put 05414 all these curses 0423 upon thy enemies 0341, and on them that hate 08130 thee, who persecuted 07291 thee.

8 And thou shalt return 07725 and obey 08085 the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068, and do 06213 all his commandments 04687 which I command 06680 thee this day 03117.

9 And the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 will make thee to abound 03498 in every work 04639 of thy hand 03027, in the fruit 06529 of thy body 0990, and in the fruit 06529 of thy cattle 0929, and in the fruit 06529 of thy land 0127, for good 02896: for the LORD 03068 will again 07725 rejoice 07797 over thee for good 02896, as he rejoiced 07797 over thy fathers 01:

10 If thou shalt hearken 08085 to the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, to keep 08104 his commandments 04687 and his statutes 02708 which are written 03789 in this book 05612 of the law 08451, and if thou shalt turn 07725 to the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 with all thy heart 03824, and with all thy soul 05315.

11 For this commandment 04687 which I command 06680 thee this day 03117, it is not hid 06381 from thee, neither is it far off 07350.

12 It is not in heaven 08064, that thou shouldest say 0559, Who shall go up 05927 for us to heaven 08064, and bring 03947 it to us, that we may hear 08085 it, and do 06213 it?

13 Neither is it beyond 05676 the sea 03220, that thou shouldest say 0559, Who shall go 05674 over 05676 the sea 03220 for us, and bring 03947 it to us, that we may hear 08085 it, and do 06213 it?

14 But the word 01697 is very 03966 near 07138 to thee, in thy mouth 06310, and in thy heart 03824, that thou mayest do 06213 it.

15 See 07200, I have set 05414 before 06440 thee this day 03117 life 02416 and good 02896, and death 04194 and evil 07451;

16 In that I command 06680 thee this day 03117 to love 0157 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, to walk 03212 in his ways 01870, and to keep 08104 his commandments 04687 and his statutes 02708 and his judgments 04941, that thou mayest live 02421 and multiply 07235: and the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 shall bless 01288 thee in the land 0776 where thou goest 0935 to possess 03423 it.

17 But if thy heart 03824 shall turn away 06437, so that thou wilt not hear 08085, but shalt be drawn away 05080, and worship 07812 other 0312 gods 0430, and serve 05647 them;

18 I declare 05046 to you this day 03117, that ye shall surely 06 perish 06, and that ye shall not prolong 0748 your days 03117 upon the land 0127, where thou passest over 05674 Jordan 03383 to go 0935 to possess 03423 it.

19 I call 05749 heaven 08064 and earth 0776 to record 05749 this day 03117 against you, that I have set 05414 before 06440 you life 02416 and death 04194, blessing 01293 and cursing 07045: therefore choose 0977 life 02416, that both thou and thy seed 02233 may live 02421:

20 That thou mayest love 0157 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, and that thou mayest obey 08085 his voice 06963, and that thou mayest cleave 01692 to him: for he is thy life 02416, and the length 0753 of thy days 03117: that thou mayest dwell 03427 in the land 0127 which the LORD 03068 swore 07650 to thy fathers 01, to Abraham 085, to Isaac 03327, and to Jacob 03290, to give 05414 them.

31

1 And Moses 04872 went 03212 and spoke 01696 these words 01697 to all Israel 03478.

2 And he said 0559 to them, I am an hundred 03967 and twenty 06242 years 08141 old 01121 this day 03117; I can 03201 no more go out 03318 and come in 0935: also the LORD 03068 hath said 0559 to me, Thou shalt not go over 05674 this Jordan 03383.

3 The LORD 03068 thy God 0430, he will go over 05674 before 06440 thee, and he will destroy 08045 these nations 01471 from before 06440 thee, and thou shalt possess 03423 them: and Joshua 03091, he shall go over 05674 before 06440 thee, as the LORD 03068 hath said 01696.

4 And the LORD 03068 shall do 06213 to them as he did 06213 to Sihon 05511 and to Og 05747, kings 04428 of the Amorites 0567, and to the land 0776 of them, whom he destroyed 08045.

5 And the LORD 03068 shall give them up 05414 before your face 06440, that ye may do 06213 to them according to all the commandments 04687 which I have commanded 06680 you.

6 Be strong 02388 and of a good courage 0553, fear 03372 not, nor be afraid 06206 of them 06440: for the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, he it is that doth go 01980 with thee; he will not fail 07503 thee, nor forsake 05800 thee.

7 And Moses 04872 called 07121 to Joshua 03091, and said 0559 to him in the sight 05869 of all Israel 03478, Be strong 02388 and of a good courage 0553: for thou must go 0935 with this people 05971 to the land 0776 which the LORD 03068 hath sworn 07650 to their fathers 01 to give 05414 them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit 05157 it.

8 And the LORD 03068, he it is that doth go 01980 before 06440 thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail 07503 thee, neither forsake 05800 thee: fear 03372 not, neither be dismayed 02865.

9 And Moses 04872 wrote 03789 this law 08451, and delivered 05414 it to the priests 03548 the sons 01121 of Levi 03878, who bore 05375 the ark 0727 of the covenant 01285 of the LORD 03068, and to all the elders 02205 of Israel 03478.

10 And Moses 04872 commanded 06680 them, saying 0559, At the end 07093 of every seven 07651 years 08141, in the solemnity 04150 of the year 08141 of release 08059, in the feast 02282 of tabernacles 05521,

11 When all Israel 03478 is come 0935 to appear 07200 before 06440 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 in the place 04725 which he shall choose 0977, thou shalt read 07121 this law 08451 before all Israel 03478 in their hearing 0241.

12 Gather 06950 the people 05971 together 06950, men 0582, and women 0802, and children 02945, and thy stranger 01616 that is within thy gates 08179, that they may hear 08085, and that they may learn 03925, and fear 03372 the LORD 03068 your God 0430, and observe 08104 to do 06213 all the words 01697 of this law 08451:

13 And that their children 01121, who have not known 03045 any thing, may hear 08085, and learn 03925 to fear 03372 the LORD 03068 your God 0430, as long as 03117 ye live 02416 in the land 0127 where ye go over 05674 Jordan 03383 to possess 03423 it.

14 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to Moses 04872, Behold, thy days 03117 approach 07126 that thou must die 04191: call 07121 Joshua 03091, and present 03320 yourselves in the tabernacle 0168 of the congregation 04150, that I may give him a charge 06680. And Moses 04872 and Joshua 03091 went 03212, and presented 03320 themselves in the tabernacle 0168 of the congregation 04150.

15 And the LORD 03068 appeared 07200 in the tabernacle 0168 in a pillar 05982 of a cloud 06051: and the pillar 05982 of the cloud 06051 stood 05975 over the door 06607 of the tabernacle 0168.

16 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to Moses 04872, Behold, thou shalt sleep 07901 with thy fathers 01; and this people 05971 will rise up 06965, and play the harlot 02181 with 0310 the gods 0430 of the strangers 05236 of the land 0776, where they go 0935 to be among 07130 them, and will forsake 05800 me, and break 06565 my covenant 01285 which I have made 03772 with them. sleep: Heb. lie down

17 Then my anger 0639 shall be kindled 02734 against them in that day 03117, and I will forsake 05800 them, and I will hide 05641 my face 06440 from them, and they shall be devoured 0398, and many 07227 evils 07451 and troubles 06869 shall befall 04672 them; so that they will say 0559 in that day 03117, Have not these evils 07451 come 04672 upon us, because our God 0430 is not among 07130 us? befall: Heb. find

18 And I will surely 05641 hide 05641 my face 06440 in that day 03117 for all the evils 07451 which they shall have wrought 06213, in that 03588 they are turned 06437 to other 0312 gods 0430.

19 Now therefore write 03789 ye this song 07892 for you, and teach 03925 it to the children 01121 of Israel 03478: put 07760 it in their mouths 06310, that this song 07892 may be a witness 05707 for me against the children 01121 of Israel 03478.

20 For when I shall have brought 0935 them into the land 0127 which I swore 07650 to their fathers 01, that floweth 02100 with milk 02461 and honey 01706; and they shall have eaten 0398 and filled 07646 themselves, and grew fat 01878; then will they turn 06437 to other 0312 gods 0430, and serve 05647 them, and provoke 05006 me, and break 06565 my covenant 01285.

21 And it shall come to pass, when many 07227 evils 07451 and troubles 06869 have befallen 04672 them, that this song 07892 shall testify 06030 against 06440 them as a witness 05707; for it shall not be forgotten 07911 out of the mouths 06310 of their seed 02233: for I know 03045 their imagination 03336 which they frame 06213, even now 03117, before I have brought 0935 them into the land 0776 which I swore 07650. against: Heb. beforego…: Heb. do

22 Moses 04872 therefore wrote 03789 this song 07892 the same day 03117, and taught 03925 it to the children 01121 of Israel 03478.

23 And he gave Joshua 03091 the son 01121 of Nun 05126 a charge 06680, and said 0559, Be strong 02388 and of a good courage 0553: for thou shalt bring 0935 the children 01121 of Israel 03478 into the land 0776 which I swore 07650 to them: and I will be with thee.

24 And it came to pass, when Moses 04872 had finished 03615 writing 03789 the words 01697 of this law 08451 in a book 05612, until they were finished 08552,

25 That Moses 04872 commanded 06680 the Levites 03881, who bore 05375 the ark 0727 of the covenant 01285 of the LORD 03068, saying 0559,

26 Take 03947 this book 05612 of the law 08451, and put 07760 it in the side 06654 of the ark 0727 of the covenant 01285 of the LORD 03068 your God 0430, that it may be there for a witness 05707 against thee.

27 For I know 03045 thy rebellion 04805, and thy stiff 07186 neck 06203: behold, while I am yet alive 02416 with you this day 03117, ye have been rebellious 04784 against the LORD 03068; and how much more after 0310 my death 04194?

28 Assemble 06950 to me all the elders 02205 of your tribes 07626, and your officers 07860, that I may speak 01696 these words 01697 in their ears 0241, and call 05749 heaven 08064 and earth 0776 to record 05749 against them.

29 For I know 03045 that after 0310 my death 04194 ye will utterly 07843 corrupt 07843 yourselves, and turn aside 05493 from the way 01870 which I have commanded 06680 you; and evil 07451 will befall 07122 you in the latter 0319 days 03117; because ye will do 06213 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, to provoke him to anger 03707 through the work 04639 of your hands 03027.

30 And Moses 04872 spoke 01696 in the ears 0241 of all the congregation 06951 of Israel 03478 the words 01697 of this song 07892, until they were ended 08552.

1 Give ear 0238, O ye heavens 08064, and I will speak 01696; and hear 08085, O earth 0776, the words 0561 of my mouth 06310.

2 My doctrine 03948 shall drop 06201 as the rain 04306, my speech 0565 shall distil 05140 as the dew 02919, as the small rain 08164 upon the tender herb 01877, and as the showers 07241 upon the grass 06212:

3 Because I will proclaim 07121 the name 08034 of the LORD 03068: ascribe 03051 ye greatness 01433 to our God 0430.

4 He is the Rock 06697, his work 06467 is perfect 08549: for all his ways 01870 are judgment 04941: a God 0410 of truth 0530 and without iniquity 05766, just 06662 and right 03477 is he.

5 They have corrupted 07843 themselves, their spot 03971 is not the spot of his children 01121: they are a perverse 06141 and crooked 06618 generation 01755. They have…: Heb. He hath corrupted to himselftheir…: or, that they are not his children, that is their blot

6 Do ye thus repay 01580 the LORD 03068, O foolish 05036 people 05971 and unwise 02450? is not he thy father 01 that hath bought 07069 thee? hath he not made 06213 thee, and established 03559 thee?

7 Remember 02142 the days 03117 of old 05769, consider 0995 the years 08141 of many 01755 generations 01755: ask 07592 thy father 01, and he will show 05046 thee; thy elders 02205, and they will tell 0559 thee. many…: Heb. generation and generation

8 When the most High 05945 divided 05157 to the nations 01471 their inheritance 05157, when he separated 06504 the sons 01121 of Adam 0120, he set 05324 the bounds 01367 of the people 05971 according to the number 04557 of the children 01121 of Israel 03478.

9 For the LORD’S 03068 portion 02506 is his people 05971; Jacob 03290 is the lot 02256 of his inheritance 05159. lot: Heb. cord

10 He found 04672 him in a desert 04057 land 0776, and in the waste 08414 howling 03214 wilderness 03452; he led him about 05437, he instructed 0995 him, he kept 05341 him as the apple 0380 of his eye 05869. led: or, compassed

11 As an eagle 05404 stirreth up 05782 her nest 07064, fluttereth 07363 over her young 01469, spreadeth abroad 06566 her wings 03671, taketh 03947 them, beareth 05375 them on her wings 084:

12 So the LORD 03068 alone 0910 did lead 05148 him, and there was no strange 05236 god 0410 with him.

13 He made him ride 07392 on the high places 01116 of the earth 0776, that he might eat 0398 the increase 08570 of the fields 07704; and he made him to suck 03243 honey 01706 out of the rock 05553, and oil 08081 out of the flinty 02496 rock 06697;

14 Butter 02529 of cattle 01241, and milk 02461 of sheep 06629, with fat 02459 of lambs 03733, and rams 0352 of the breed 01121 of Bashan 01316, and goats 06260, with the fat 02459 of kidneys 03629 of wheat 02406; and thou didst drink 08354 the pure 02561 blood 01818 of the grape 06025.

15 But Jeshurun 03484 grew fat 08080, and kicked 01163: thou hast become fat 08080, thou art grown thick 05666, thou art covered 03780 with fatness; then he forsook 05203 God 0433 who made 06213 him, and lightly esteemed 05034 the Rock 06697 of his salvation 03444.

16 They provoked him to jealousy 07065 with strange 02114 gods, with abominations 08441 they provoked him to anger 03707.

17 They sacrificed 02076 to demons 07700, not to God 0433; to gods 0430 which they knew 03045 not, to new 02319 gods that came 0935 newly 07138 up 0935, whom your fathers 01 feared 08175 not. not to…: or, which were not God

18 Of the Rock 06697 that begat 03205 thee thou art unmindful 07876, and hast forgotten 07911 God 0410 that formed 02342 thee.

19 And when the LORD 03068 saw 07200 it, he abhorred 05006 them, because of the provoking 03708 of his sons 01121, and of his daughters 01323. abhorred: or, despised

20 And he said 0559, I will hide 05641 my face 06440 from them, I will see 07200 what their end 0319 shall be: for they are a very perverse 08419 generation 01755, children 01121 in whom is no faith 0529.

21 They have moved me to jealousy 07065 with that which is not 03808 God 0410; they have provoked me to anger 03707 with their vanities 01892: and I will move them to jealousy 07065 with those who are not a people 05971; I will provoke them to anger 03707 with a foolish 05036 nation 01471.

22 For a fire 0784 is kindled 06919 in my anger 0639, and shall burn 03344 to the lowest 08482 hell 07585, and shall consume 0398 the earth 0776 with her increase 02981, and set on fire 03857 the foundations 04144 of the mountains 02022. shall burn: or, hath burnedshall consume: or, hath consumed

23 I will heap 05595 mischiefs 07451 upon them; I will spend 03615 my arrows 02671 upon them.

24 They shall be burnt 04198 with hunger 07458, and devoured 03898 with burning heat 07565, and with bitter 04815 destruction 06986: I will also send 07971 the teeth 08127 of beasts 0929 upon them, with the poison 02534 of serpents 02119 of the dust 06083. heat: Heb. coals

25 The sword 02719 without 02351, and terror 0367 within 02315, shall destroy 07921 both the young man 0970 and the virgin 01330, the suckling 03243 also with the man 0376 of gray hairs 07872. within: Heb. from the chambersdestroy: Heb. bereave

26 I said 0559, I would scatter them into corners 06284, I would make the remembrance 02143 of them to cease 07673 from among men 0582:

27 Were it not 03884 that I feared 01481 the wrath 03708 of the enemy 0341, lest their adversaries 06862 should behave themselves strangely 05234, and lest they should say 0559, Our hand 03027 is high 07311, and the LORD 03068 hath not done 06466 all this. Our…: or, Our high hand, and not the LORD hath done

28 For they are a nation 01471 void 06 of counsel 06098, neither is there any understanding 08394 in them.

29 O that 03863 they were wise 02449, that they understood 07919 this, that they would consider 0995 their latter end 0319!

30 How should one 0259 chase 07291 a thousand 0505, and two 08147 put ten 07233 thousand 0505 to flight 05127, except 03808 their Rock 06697 had sold 04376 them 03588, and the LORD 03068 had shut them up 05462?

31 For their rock 06697 is not as our Rock 06697, even our enemies 0341 themselves being judges 06414.

32 For their vine 01612 is of the vine 01612 of Sodom 05467, and of the fields 07709 of Gomorrah 06017: their grapes 06025 are grapes 06025 of gall 07219, their clusters 0811 are bitter 04846: of the vine: or, worse than the vine

33 Their wine 03196 is the poison 02534 of dragons 08577, and the cruel 0393 venom 07219 of asps 06620.

34 Is not this laid up in store 03647 with me, and sealed up 02856 among my treasures 0214?

35 To me belongeth vengeance 05359, and recompence 08005; their foot 07272 shall slide 04131 in due time 06256: for the day 03117 of their calamity 0343 is at hand 07138, and the things that shall come 06264 upon them make haste 02363.

36 For the LORD 03068 shall judge 01777 his people 05971, and repent 05162 for his servants 05650, when he seeth 07200 that their power 03027 is gone 0235, and there is none 0657 shut up 06113, or left 05800. power: Heb. hand

37 And he shall say 0559, Where are their gods 0430, their rock 06697 in whom they trusted 02620,

38 Which ate 0398 the fat 02459 of their sacrifices 02077, and drank 08354 the wine 03196 of their drink offerings 05257? let them rise up 06965 and help 05826 you, and be your protection 05643. your…: Heb. an hiding for you

39 See 07200 now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god 0430 with me: I kill 04191, and I make alive 02421; I wound 04272, and I heal 07495: neither is there any that can deliver 05337 out of my hand 03027.

40 For I lift up 05375 my hand 03027 to heaven 08064, and say 0559, I live 02416 for ever 05769.

41 If I shall whet 08150 my glittering 01300 sword 02719, and my hand 03027 take hold 0270 on judgment 04941; I will render 07725 vengeance 05359 to my enemies 06862, and will reward 07999 them that hate 08130 me.

42 I will make my arrows 02671 drunk 07937 with blood 01818, and my sword 02719 shall devour 0398 flesh 01320; and that with the blood 01818 of the slain 02491 and of the captives 07633, from the beginning 07218 of revenges 06546 upon the enemy 0341.

43 Rejoice 07442, O ye nations 01471, with his people 05971: for he will avenge 05358 the blood 01818 of his servants 05650, and will render 07725 vengeance 05359 to his adversaries 06862, and will be merciful 03722 to his land 0127, and to his people 05971. Rejoice…: or, Praise his people, ye nations: or, Sing ye

44 And Moses 04872 came 0935 and spoke 01696 all the words 01697 of this song 07892 in the ears 0241 of the people 05971, he, and Hoshea 01954 the son 01121 of Nun 05126. Hoshea: or, Joshua

45 And Moses 04872 finished 03615 speaking 01696 all these words 01697 to all Israel 03478:

46 And he said 0559 to them, Set 07760 your hearts 03824 to all the words 01697 which I testify 05749 among you this day 03117, which ye shall command 06680 your children 01121 to observe 08104 to do 06213, all the words 01697 of this law 08451.

47 For it is not a vain 07386 thing 01697 for you; because it is your life 02416: and through this thing 01697 ye shall prolong 0748 your days 03117 in the land 0127, where ye go over 05674 Jordan 03383 to possess 03423 it.

48 And the LORD 03068 spoke 01696 to Moses 04872 that same 06106 day 03117, saying 0559,

49 Go up 05927 to this mountain 02022 Abarim 05682, to mount 02022 Nebo 05015, which is in the land 0776 of Moab 04124, that is opposite 06440 Jericho 03405; and behold 07200 the land 0776 of Canaan 03667, which I give 05414 to the children 01121 of Israel 03478 for a possession 0272:

50 And die 04191 in the mount 02022 where thou goest 05927, and be gathered 0622 to thy people 05971; as Aaron 0175 thy brother 0251 died 04191 in mount 02022 Hor 02023, and was gathered 0622 to his people 05971:

51 Because ye trespassed 04603 against me among 08432 the children 01121 of Israel 03478 at the waters 04325 of Meribah–Kadesh 04808, 6946, in the wilderness 04057 of Zin 06790; because ye sanctified 06942 me not in the midst 08432 of the children 01121 of Israel 03478. Meribah–Kadesh: or, strife at Kadesh

52 Yet thou shalt see 07200 the land 0776 before thee; but thou shalt not go 0935 there to the land 0776 which I give 05414 the children 01121 of Israel 03478.

1 And this is the blessing 01293, with which Moses 04872 the man 0376 of God 0430 blessed 01288 the children 01121 of Israel 03478 before 06440 his death 04194.

2 And he said 0559, The LORD 03068 came 0935 from Sinai 05514, and rose up 02224 from Seir 08165 to them; he shined forth 03313 from mount 02022 Paran 06290, and he came 0857 with ten thousands 07233 of saints 06944: from his right hand 03225 went a fiery 0799, 784 law 01881 for them. a fiery…: Heb. a fire of law

3 Yea 0637, he loved 02245 the people 05971; all his saints 06918 are in thy hand 03027: and they sat down 08497 at thy feet 07272; every one shall receive 05375 of thy words 01703.

4 Moses 04872 commanded 06680 us a law 08451, even the inheritance 04181 of the congregation 06952 of Jacob 03290.

5 And he was king 04428 in Jeshurun 03484, when the heads 07218 of the people 05971 and the tribes 07626 of Israel 03478 were gathered 0622 together 03162.

6 Let Reuben 07205 live 02421, and not die 04191; and let his men 04962 be few 04557.

7 And this is the blessing of Judah 03063: and he said 0559, Hear 08085, LORD 03068, the voice 06963 of Judah 03063, and bring 0935 him to his people 05971: let his hands 03027 be sufficient 07227 for him; and be thou an help 05828 to him from his enemies 06862.

8 And of Levi 03878 he said 0559, Let thy Thummim 08550 and thy Urim 0224 be with thy holy 02623 one 0376, whom thou didst tempt 05254 at Massah 04532, and with whom thou didst strive 07378 at the waters 04325 of Meribah 04809;

9 Who said 0559 to his father 01 and to his mother 0517, I have not seen 07200 him; neither did he acknowledge 05234 his brethren 0251, nor know 03045 his own children 01121: for they have observed 08104 thy word 0565, and kept 05341 thy covenant 01285.

10 They shall teach 03384 Jacob 03290 thy judgments 04941, and Israel 03478 thy law 08451: they shall put 07760 incense 06988 before 0639 thee, and whole burnt sacrifice 03632 upon thy altar 04196. They shall teach: or, Let them teachthey shall put: or, let them putbefore…: Heb. at thy nose

11 Bless 01288, LORD 03068, his substance 02428, and accept 07521 the work 06467 of his hands 03027: smite 04272 through the loins 04975 of them that rise 06965 against him, and of them that hate 08130 him, that they rise 06965 not 04480 again 06965.

12 And of Benjamin 01144 he said 0559, The beloved 03039 of the LORD 03068 shall dwell 07931 in safety 0983 by him; and the LORD shall cover 02653 him all the day 03117 long, and he shall dwell 07931 between his shoulders 03802.

13 And of Joseph 03130 he said 0559, Blessed 01288 of the LORD 03068 be his land 0776, for the precious things 04022 of heaven 08064, for the dew 02919, and for the deep 08415 that coucheth beneath 07257,

14 And for the precious 04022 fruits 08393 brought forth by the sun 08121, and for the precious things 04022 put forth 01645 by the moon 03391, put: Heb. thrustmoon: Heb. moons

15 And for the chief things 07218 of the ancient 06924 mountains 02042, and for the precious things 04022 of the lasting 05769 hills 01389,

16 And for the precious things 04022 of the earth 0776 and fulness 04393 of it, and for the good will 07522 of him that dwelt 07931 in the bush 05572: let the blessing come 0935 upon the head 07218 of Joseph 03130, and upon the top of the head 06936 of him that was separated 05139 from his brethren 0251.

17 His glory 01926 is like the firstborn 01060 bull 07794, and his horns 07161 are like the horns 07161 of unicorns 07214: with them he shall push 05055 the people 05971 together 03162 to the ends 0657 of the earth 0776: and they are the ten thousands 07233 of Ephraim 0669, and they are the thousands 0505 of Manasseh 04519. unicorns: Heb. an unicorn

18 And of Zebulun 02074 he said 0559, Rejoice 08055, Zebulun 02074, in thy going out 03318; and, Issachar 03485, in thy tents 0168.

19 They shall call 07121 the people 05971 to the mountain 02022; there they shall offer 02076 sacrifices 02077 of righteousness 06664: for they shall suck 03243 of the abundance 08228 of the seas 03220, and of treasures 08226 hid 02934 in the sand 02344.

20 And of Gad 01410 he said 0559, Blessed 01288 be he that enlargeth 07337 Gad 01410: he dwelleth 07931 as a lion 03833, and teareth 02963 the arm 02220 with 0637 the crown of the head 06936.

21 And he provided 07200 the first part 07225 for himself, because there, in a portion 02513 of the lawgiver 02710, was he seated 05603; and he came 0857 with the heads 07218 of the people 05971, he executed 06213 the justice 06666 of the LORD 03068, and his judgments 04941 with Israel 03478. seated: Heb. cieled

22 And of Dan 01835 he said 0559, Dan 01835 is a lion’s 0738 whelp 01482: he shall leap 02187 from Bashan 01316.

23 And of Naphtali 05321 he said 0559, O Naphtali 05321, satisfied 07649 with favour 07522, and full 04392 with the blessing 01293 of the LORD 03068: possess 03423 thou the west 03220 and the south 01864.

24 And of Asher 0836 he said 0559, Let Asher 0836 be blessed 01288 with children 01121; let him be acceptable 07521 to his brethren 0251, and let him dip 02881 his foot 07272 in oil 08081.

25 Thy shoes 04515 shall be iron 01270 and brass 05178; and as thy days 03117, so shall thy strength 01679 be. Thy shoes: or, Under thy shoes

26 There is none like the God 0410 of Jeshurun 03484, who rideth 07392 upon the heaven 08064 in thy help 05828, and in his excellency 01346 on the sky 07834.

27 The eternal 06924 God 0430 is thy refuge 04585, and underneath are the everlasting 05769 arms 02220: and he shall thrust out 01644 the enemy 0341 from before 06440 thee; and shall say 0559, Destroy 08045 them.

28 Israel 03478 then shall dwell 07931 in safety 0983 alone 0910: the fountain 05869 of Jacob 03290 shall be upon a land 0776 of grain 01715 and wine 08492; also his heavens 08064 shall drop down 06201 dew 02919.

29 Happy 0835 art thou, O Israel 03478: who is like thee, O people 05971 saved 03467 by the LORD 03068, the shield 04043 of thy help 05828, and who is the sword 02719 of thy excellency 01346! and thy enemies 0341 shall be found liars 03584 to thee; and thou shalt tread 01869 upon their high places 01116. found…: or, subdued

1 And Moses 04872 went up 05927 from the plains 06160 of Moab 04124 upon the mountain 02022 of Nebo 05015, to the top 07218 of Pisgah 06449, that is opposite 06440 Jericho 03405. And the LORD 03068 showed 07200 him all the land 0776 of Gilead 01568, to Dan 01835, Pisgah: or, the hill

2 And all Naphtali 05321, and the land 0776 of Ephraim 0669, and Manasseh 04519, and all the land 0776 of Judah 03063, to the utmost 0314 sea 03220,

3 And the south 05045, and the plain 03603 of the valley 01237 of Jericho 03405, the city 05892 of palm trees 08558, 5899, to Zoar 06820.

4 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to him, This is the land 0776 which I swore 07650 to Abraham 085, to Isaac 03327, and to Jacob 03290, saying 0559, I will give 05414 it to thy seed 02233: I have caused thee to see 07200 it with thy eyes 05869, but thou shalt not go over 05674 there.

5 So Moses 04872 the servant 05650 of the LORD 03068 died 04191 there in the land 0776 of Moab 04124, according to the word 06310 of the LORD 03068.

6 And he buried 06912 him in a valley 01516 in the land 0776 of Moab 04124, opposite 04136 Bethpeor 01047: but no man 0376 knoweth 03045 of his sepulchre 06900 to this day 03117.

7 And Moses 04872 was an hundred 03967 and twenty 06242 years 08141 old 01121 when he died 04194: his eye 05869 was not dim 03543, nor his natural force 03893 abated 05127. natural…: Heb. moistureabated: Heb. fled

8 And the children 01121 of Israel 03478 wept 01058 for Moses 04872 in the plains 06160 of Moab 04124 thirty 07970 days 03117: so the days 03117 of weeping 01065 and mourning 060 for Moses 04872 were ended 08552.

9 And Joshua 03091 the son 01121 of Nun 05126 was full 04392 of the spirit 07307 of wisdom 02451; for Moses 04872 had laid 05564 his hands 03027 upon him: and the children 01121 of Israel 03478 hearkened 08085 to him, and did 06213 as the LORD 03068 commanded 06680 Moses 04872.

10 And there arose 06965 not a prophet 05030 since 05750 in Israel 03478 like Moses 04872, whom the LORD 03068 knew 03045 face 06440 to face 06440,

11 In all the signs 0226 and the wonders 04159, which the LORD 03068 sent 07971 him to do 06213 in the land 0776 of Egypt 04714 to Pharaoh 06547, and to all his servants 05650, and to all his land 0776,

12 And in all that mighty 02389 hand 03027, and in all the great 01419 terror 04172 which Moses 04872 showed 06213 in the sight 05869 of all Israel 03478.
