ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be
full of the knowledge of the LORD,
as the waters cover the sea.

DE-1:1 These [be] the words which Moses spake unto all Israel
on this side
Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red
[sea], between
Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
DE-1:2 ([There are] eleven days' [journey] from Horeb by the
way of mount
Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)
DE-1:3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the
eleventh month, on
the first [day] of the month, [that] Moses spake unto the
children of Israel,
according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment
unto them;
DE-1:4 After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which
dwelt in
Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in
Edrei:
DE-1:5 On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to
declare this
law, saying,
DE-1:6 The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have
dwelt long
enough in this mount:
DE-1:7 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of
the Amorites,
and unto all [the places] nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the
hills, and in
the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of
the
Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river
Euphrates.
DE-1:8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and
possess the land
which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob, to give
unto them and to their seed after them.
DE-1:9 And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able
to bear you
myself alone:
DE-1:10 The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye
[are] this day
as the stars of heaven for multitude.
DE-1:11 (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times
so many more
as ye [are], and bless you, as he hath promised you!)
DE-1:12 How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your
burden, and your
strife?
DE-1:13 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among
your tribes,
and I will make them rulers over you.
DE-1:14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast
spoken [is]
good [for us] to do.
DE-1:15 So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known,
and made
them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over
hundreds, and
captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers
among your tribes.
DE-1:16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear
[the causes]
between your brethren, and judge righteously between [every] man
and his
brother, and the stranger [that is] with him.
DE-1:17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; [but] ye
shall hear the
small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face
of man; for the
judgment [is] God's: and the cause that is too hard for you,
bring [it] unto
me, and I will hear it.
DE-1:18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which
ye should do.
DE-1:19 And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all
that great and
terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of
the Amorites,
as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.
DE-1:20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of
the Amorites,
which the LORD our God doth give unto us.
DE-1:21 Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee:
go up [and]
possess [it], as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee;
fear not,
neither be discouraged.
DE-1:22 And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We
will send men
before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us
word again by
what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
DE-1:23 And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men
of you, one of
a tribe:
DE-1:24 And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came
unto the
valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
DE-1:25 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands,
and brought
[it] down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, [It is]
a good land
which the LORD our God doth give us.
DE-1:26 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled
against the
commandment of the LORD your God:
DE-1:27 And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the
LORD hated us,
he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us
into the hand
of the Amorites, to destroy us.
DE-1:28 Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged
our heart,
saying, The people [is] greater and taller than we; the cities
[are] great and
walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the
Anakims there.
DE-1:29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of
them.
DE-1:30 The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall
fight for you,
according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
DE-1:31 And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that
the LORD thy God
bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye
went, until ye
came into this place.
DE-1:32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,
DE-1:33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a
place to pitch
your tents [in], in fire by night, to show you by what way ye
should go, and
in a cloud by day.
DE-1:34 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was
wroth, and sware,
saying,
DE-1:35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil
generation see
that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
DE-1:36 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and
to him will I
give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children,
because he hath
wholly followed the LORD.
DE-1:37 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying,
Thou also
shalt not go in thither.
DE-1:38 [But] Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee,
he shall go
in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit
it.
DE-1:39 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a
prey, and your
children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and
evil, they shall
go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall
possess it.
DE-1:40 But [as for] you, turn you, and take your journey into
the wilderness
by the way of the Red sea.
DE-1:41 Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned
against the LORD,
we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God
commanded us.
And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were
ready to go up
into the hill.
DE-1:42 And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up,
neither fight;
for I [am] not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
DE-1:43 So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but
rebelled against the
commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the
hill.
DE-1:44 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came
out against you,
and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, [even]
unto Hormah.
DE-1:45 And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD
would not
hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
DE-1:46 So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the
days that ye
abode [there].
DE-2:1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness
by the way of
the Red sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed mount
Seir many days.
DE-2:2 And the LORD spake unto me, saying,
DE-2:3 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you
northward.
DE-2:4 And command thou the people, saying, Ye [are] to pass
through the
coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir;
and they
shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves
therefore:
DE-2:5 Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their
land, no, not
so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto
Esau [for] a
possession.
DE-2:6 Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat;
and ye shall
also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.
DE-2:7 For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works
of thy hand:
he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these
forty years the
LORD thy God [hath been] with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
DE-2:8 And when we passed by from our brethren the children of
Esau, which
dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from
Eziongaber,
we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
DE-2:9 And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites,
neither contend
with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land
[for] a
possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot
[for] a
possession.
DE-2:10 The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great,
and many, and
tall, as the Anakims;
DE-2:11 Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but
the Moabites
call them Emims.
DE-2:12 The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the
children of Esau
succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them,
and dwelt in
their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession,
which the LORD
gave unto them.
DE-2:13 Now rise up, [said I], and get you over the brook Zered.
And we went
over the brook Zered.
DE-2:14 And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until
we were come
over the brook Zered, [was] thirty and eight years; until all
the generation
of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the
LORD sware unto
them.
DE-2:15 For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to
destroy them
from among the host, until they were consumed.
DE-2:16 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were
consumed and dead
from among the people,
DE-2:17 That the LORD spake unto me, saying,
DE-2:18 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab,
this day:
DE-2:19 And [when] thou comest nigh over against the children
of Ammon,
distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give
thee of the land
of the children of Ammon [any] possession; because I have given
it unto the
children of Lot [for] a possession.
DE-2:20 (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt
therein in
old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
DE-2:21 A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but
the LORD
destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt
in their stead:
DE-2:22 As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir,
when he
destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them,
and dwelt in
their stead even unto this day:
DE-2:23 And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, [even] unto Azzah,
the
Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and
dwelt in
their stead.)
DE-2:24 Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river
Arnon: behold,
I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon,
and his land:
begin to possess [it], and contend with him in battle.
DE-2:25 This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the
fear of thee
upon the nations [that are] under the whole heaven, who shall
hear report of
thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.
DE-2:26 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth
unto Sihon
king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
DE-2:27 Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the
high way, I will
neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.
DE-2:28 Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and
give me water
for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;
DE-2:29 (As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the
Moabites which
dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into
the land which
the LORD our God giveth us.
DE-2:30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him:
for the LORD
thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that
he might
deliver him into thy hand, as [appeareth] this day.
DE-2:31 And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give
Sihon and his
land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his
land.
DE-2:32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people,
to fight at
Jahaz.
DE-2:33 And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we
smote him, and
his sons, and all his people.
DE-2:34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly
destroyed the
men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left
none to
remain:
DE-2:35 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and
the spoil of
the cities which we took.
DE-2:36 From Aroer, which [is] by the brink of the river of
Arnon, and [from]
the city that [is] by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not
one city too
strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all unto us:
DE-2:37 Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest
not, [nor]
unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the
mountains, nor
unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbad us.
DE-3:1 Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og
the king of
Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at
Edrei.
DE-3:2 And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will
deliver him, and
all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do
unto him as
thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at
Heshbon.
DE-3:3 So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also,
the king of
Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left
to him
remaining.
DE-3:4 And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a
city which we
took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob,
the kingdom of
Og in Bashan.
DE-3:5 All these cities [were] fenced with high walls, gates,
and bars;
beside unwalled towns a great many.
DE-3:6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king
of Heshbon,
utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.
DE-3:7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took
for a prey to
ourselves.
DE-3:8 And we took at that time out of the hand of the two
kings of the
Amorites the land that [was] on this side Jordan, from the river
of Arnon unto
mount Hermon;
DE-3:9 ([Which] Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the
Amorites call it
Shenir;)
DE-3:10 All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all
Bashan, unto
Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
DE-3:11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of
giants; behold,
his bedstead [was] a bedstead of iron; [is] it not in Rabbath of
the children
of Ammon? nine cubits [was] the length thereof, and four cubits
the breadth of
it, after the cubit of a man.
DE-3:12 And this land, [which] we possessed at that time, from
Aroer, which
[is] by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities
thereof, gave I
unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
DE-3:13 And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, [being] the
kingdom of Og,
gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob,
with all
Bashan, which was called the land of giants.
DE-3:14 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob
unto the
coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own
name,
Bashanhavothjair, unto this day.
DE-3:15 And I gave Gilead unto Machir.
DE-3:16 And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave
from Gilead even
unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto
the river
Jabbok, [which is] the border of the children of Ammon;
DE-3:17 The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast [thereof],
from Chinnereth
even unto the sea of the plain, [even] the salt sea, under
Ashdothpisgah
eastward.
DE-3:18 And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your
God hath
given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed
before your
brethren the children of Israel, all [that are] meet for the war.
DE-3:19 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle,
([for] I know
that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I
have given you;
DE-3:20 Until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren, as
well as unto
you, and [until] they also possess the land which the LORD your
God hath given
them beyond Jordan: and [then] shall ye return every man unto
his possession,
which I have given you.
DE-3:21 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes
have seen all
that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall
the LORD do
unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.
DE-3:22 Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall
fight for you.
DE-3:23 And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,
DE-3:24 O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy
greatness, and
thy mighty hand: for what God [is there] in heaven or in earth,
that can do
according to thy works, and according to thy might?
DE-3:25 I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that
[is] beyond
Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.
DE-3:26 But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and
would not hear me:
and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more
unto me of this
matter.
DE-3:27 Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine
eyes westward,
and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold [it] with
thine eyes:
for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
DE-3:28 But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen
him: for he
shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to
inherit the land
which thou shalt see.
DE-3:29 So we abode in the valley over against Bethpeor.
DE-4:1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and
unto the
judgments, which I teach you, for to do [them], that ye may live,
and go in
and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth
you.
DE-4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you,
neither shall ye
diminish [ought] from it, that ye may keep the commandments of
the LORD your
God which I command you.
DE-4:3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of
Baalpeor: for all the
men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them
from among
you.
DE-4:4 But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God [are]
alive every one of
you this day.
DE-4:5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even
as the LORD my
God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go
to possess
it.
DE-4:6 Keep therefore and do [them]; for this [is] your wisdom
and your
understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all
these
statutes, and say, Surely this great nation [is] a wise and
understanding
people.
DE-4:7 For what nation [is there so] great, who [hath] God [so]
nigh unto
them, as the LORD our God [is] in all [things that] we call upon
him [for]?
DE-4:8 And what nation [is there so] great, that hath statutes
and judgments
[so] righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
DE-4:9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently,
lest thou
forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they
depart from thy
heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy
sons' sons;
DE-4:10 [Specially] the day that thou stoodest before the LORD
thy God in
Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together,
and I will
make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the
days that they
shall live upon the earth, and [that] they may teach their
children.
DE-4:11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the
mountain
burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds,
and thick
darkness.
DE-4:12 And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the
fire: ye heard
the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only [ye heard] a
voice.
DE-4:13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he
commanded you to
perform, [even] ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two
tables of stone.
DE-4:14 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you
statutes and
judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over
to possess it.
DE-4:15 Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw
no manner of
similitude on the day [that] the LORD spake unto you in Horeb
out of the midst
of the fire:
DE-4:16 Lest ye corrupt [yourselves], and make you a graven
image, the
similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
DE-4:17 The likeness of any beast that [is] on the earth, the
likeness of any
winged fowl that flieth in the air,
DE-4:18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground,
the likeness
of any fish that [is] in the waters beneath the earth:
DE-4:19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when
thou seest the
sun, and the moon, and the stars, [even] all the host of heaven,
shouldest be
driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God
hath divided
unto all nations under the whole heaven.
DE-4:20 But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out
of the iron
furnace, [even] out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of
inheritance, as [ye
are] this day.
DE-4:21 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes,
and sware that
I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto
that good land,
which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance:
DE-4:22 But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan:
but ye shall
go over, and possess that good land.
DE-4:23 Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant
of the LORD
your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image,
[or] the
likeness of any [thing], which the LORD thy God hath forbidden
thee.
DE-4:24 For the LORD thy God [is] a consuming fire, [even] a
jealous God.
DE-4:25 When thou shalt beget children, and children's children,
and ye shall
have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt [yourselves],
and make a
graven image, [or] the likeness of any [thing], and shall do
evil in the sight
of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger:
DE-4:26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day,
that ye
shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over
Jordan to
possess it; ye shall not prolong [your] days upon it, but shall
utterly be
destroyed.
DE-4:27 And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and
ye shall be
left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall
lead you.
DE-4:28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands,
wood and
stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
DE-4:29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God,
thou shalt find
[him], if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
DE-4:30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are
come upon
thee, [even] in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy
God, and shalt
be obedient unto his voice;
DE-4:31 (For the LORD thy God [is] a merciful God;) he will not
forsake thee,
neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers
which he sware
unto them.
DE-4:32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were
before thee, since
the day that God created man upon the earth, and [ask] from the
one side of
heaven unto the other, whether there hath been [any such thing]
as this great
thing [is], or hath been heard like it?
DE-4:33 Did [ever] people hear the voice of God speaking out of
the midst of
the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
DE-4:34 Or hath God assayed to go [and] take him a nation from
the midst of
[another] nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and
by war, and by
a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors,
according to
all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your
eyes?
DE-4:35 Unto thee it was showed, that thou mightest know that
the LORD he
[is] God; [there is] none else beside him.
DE-4:36 Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he
might instruct
thee: and upon earth he showed thee his great fire; and thou
heardest his
words out of the midst of the fire.
DE-4:37 And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose
their seed after
them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power
out of Egypt;
DE-4:38 To drive out nations from before thee greater and
mightier than thou
[art], to bring thee in, to give thee their land [for] an
inheritance, as [it
is] this day.
DE-4:39 Know therefore this day, and consider [it] in thine
heart, that the
LORD he [is] God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath:
[there is] none
else.
DE-4:40 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his
commandments, which I
command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with
thy children
after thee, and that thou mayest prolong [thy] days upon the
earth, which the
LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.
DE-4:41 Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan
toward the sun
rising;
DE-4:42 That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill
his neighbour
unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto
one of these
cities he might live:
DE-4:43 [Namely], Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country,
of the
Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in
Bashan, of the
Manassites.
DE-4:44 And this [is] the law which Moses set before the
children of Israel:
DE-4:45 These [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the
judgments,
which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came
forth out of
Egypt,
DE-4:46 On this side Jordan, in the valley over against
Bethpeor, in the land
of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses
and the
children of Israel smote, after they were come forth out of
Egypt:
DE-4:47 And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of
Bashan, two
kings of the Amorites, which [were] on this side Jordan toward
the sun rising;
DE-4:48 From Aroer, which [is] by the bank of the river Arnon,
even unto
mount Sion, which [is] Hermon,
DE-4:49 And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even
unto the sea of
the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
DE-5:1 And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O
Israel, the
statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that
ye may learn
them, and keep, and do them.
DE-5:2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
DE-5:3 The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but
with us, [even]
us, who [are] all of us here alive this day.
DE-5:4 The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out
of the midst of
the fire,
DE-5:5 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show
you the word
of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went
not up into
the mount;) saying,
DE-5:6 I [am] the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the
land of Egypt,
from the house of bondage.
DE-5:7 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
DE-5:8 Thou shalt not make thee [any] graven image, [or] any
likeness [of any
thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth
beneath, or that
[is] in the waters beneath the earth:
DE-5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve
them: for I the
LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the
fathers upon the
children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that
hate me,
DE-5:10 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me
and keep my
commandments.
DE-5:11 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in
vain: for the
LORD will not hold [him] guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
DE-5:12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy
God hath
commanded thee.
DE-5:13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:
DE-5:14 But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy
God: [in it]
thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter,
nor thy
manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass,
nor any of thy
cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates; that thy
manservant and
thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
DE-5:15 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of
Egypt, and
[that] the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty
hand and by a
stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to
keep the
sabbath day.
DE-5:16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God
hath commanded
thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well
with thee, in
the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
DE-5:17 Thou shalt not kill.
DE-5:18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
DE-5:19 Neither shalt thou steal.
DE-5:20 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy
neighbour.
DE-5:21 Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither
shalt thou
covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or
his maidservant,
his ox, or his ass, or any [thing] that [is] thy neighbour's.
DE-5:22 These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in
the mount out of
the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness,
with a great
voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of
stone, and
delivered them unto me.
DE-5:23 And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the
midst of the
darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came
near unto me,
[even] all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
DE-5:24 And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath showed us
his glory and
his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of
the fire: we
have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth.
DE-5:25 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire
will consume us:
if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall
die.
DE-5:26 For who [is there of] all flesh, that hath heard the
voice of the
living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we [have],
and lived?
DE-5:27 Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall
say: and speak
thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee;
and we will hear
[it], and do [it].
DE-5:28 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye
spake unto me;
and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words
of this people,
which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that
they have
spoken.
DE-5:29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they
would fear me, and
keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them,
and with
their children for ever!
DE-5:30 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.
DE-5:31 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will
speak unto thee
all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which
thou shalt
teach them, that they may do [them] in the land which I give
them to possess
it.
DE-5:32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God
hath commanded
you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
DE-5:33 Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God
hath commanded
you, that ye may live, and [that it may be] well with you, and
[that] ye may
prolong [your] days in the land which ye shall possess.
DE-6:1 Now these [are] the commandments, the statutes, and the
judgments,
which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do
[them] in the
land whither ye go to possess it:
DE-6:2 That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all
his statutes and
his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and
thy son's son,
all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
DE-6:3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do [it]; that
it may be well
with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of
thy fathers
hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
DE-6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God [is] one LORD:
DE-6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine
heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy might.
DE-6:6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be
in thine
heart:
DE-6:7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children,
and shalt talk
of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest
by the way,
and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
DE-6:8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and
they shall be
as frontlets between thine eyes.
DE-6:9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house,
and on thy
gates.
DE-6:10 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have
brought thee into
the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac,
and to Jacob,
to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,
DE-6:11 And houses full of all good [things], which thou
filledst not, and
wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees,
which thou
plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;
DE-6:12 [Then] beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought
thee forth out
of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
DE-6:13 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and
shalt swear by
his name.
DE-6:14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the
people which
[are] round about you;
DE-6:15 (For the LORD thy God [is] a jealous God among you)
lest the anger of
the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from
off the face
of the earth.
DE-6:16 Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted
[him] in Massah.
DE-6:17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD
your God, and
his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
DE-6:18 And thou shalt do [that which is] right and good in the
sight of the
LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in
and possess
the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers,
DE-6:19 To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the
LORD hath
spoken.
DE-6:20 [And] when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying,
What [mean]
the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the
LORD our God
hath commanded you?
DE-6:21 Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's
bondmen in Egypt;
and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:
DE-6:22 And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and sore,
upon Egypt,
upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:
DE-6:23 And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring
us in, to give
us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
DE-6:24 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to
fear the LORD
our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive,
as [it is] at
this day.
DE-6:25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do
all these
commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.
DE-7:1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land
whither thou
goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee,
the Hittites,
and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and
the Perizzites,
and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and
mightier than
thou;
DE-7:2 And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee;
thou shalt
smite them, [and] utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no
covenant with them,
nor show mercy unto them:
DE-7:3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy
daughter thou shalt
not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy
son.
DE-7:4 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that
they may serve
other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you,
and destroy
thee suddenly.
DE-7:5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their
altars, and
break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn
their graven
images with fire.
DE-7:6 For thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the
LORD thy God
hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all
people that
[are] upon the face of the earth.
DE-7:7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you,
because ye
were more in number than any people; for ye [were] the fewest of
all people:
DE-7:8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would
keep the oath
which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you
out with a
mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from
the hand of
Pharaoh king of Egypt.
DE-7:9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he [is] God, the
faithful God,
which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and
keep his
commandments to a thousand generations;
DE-7:10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to
destroy them: he
will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to
his face.
DE-7:11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the
statutes, and the
judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
DE-7:12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these
judgments,
and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto
thee the covenant
and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
DE-7:13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply
thee: he will
also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy
corn, and thy
wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of
thy sheep, in
the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
DE-7:14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not
be male or
female barren among you, or among your cattle.
DE-7:15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and
will put none
of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee;
but will lay
them upon all [them] that hate thee.
DE-7:16 And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD
thy God shall
deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither
shalt thou serve
their gods; for that [will be] a snare unto thee.
DE-7:17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations [are]
more than I;
how can I dispossess them?
DE-7:18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: [but] shalt well
remember what the
LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
DE-7:19 The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the
signs, and the
wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby
the LORD thy
God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the
people of whom
thou art afraid.
DE-7:20 Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among
them, until they
that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
DE-7:21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy
God [is] among
you, a mighty God and terrible.
DE-7:22 And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before
thee by little
and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the
beasts of the field
increase upon thee.
DE-7:23 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and
shall destroy
them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.
DE-7:24 And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and
thou shalt
destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able
to stand
before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
DE-7:25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire:
thou shalt
not desire the silver or gold [that is] on them, nor take [it]
unto thee, lest
thou be snared therein: for it [is] an abomination to the LORD
thy God.
DE-7:26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine
house, lest thou
be a cursed thing like it: [but] thou shalt utterly detest it,
and thou shalt
utterly abhor it; for it [is] a cursed thing.
DE-8:1 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall
ye observe to
do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the
land which the
LORD sware unto your fathers.
DE-8:2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy
God led thee
these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, [and] to
prove thee, to
know what [was] in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his
commandments,
or no.
DE-8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and
fed thee with
manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know;
that he might
make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by
every [word] that
proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
DE-8:4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy
foot swell, these
forty years.
DE-8:5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man
chasteneth his
son, [so] the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
DE-8:6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD
thy God, to
walk in his ways, and to fear him.
DE-8:7 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a
land of brooks
of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and
hills;
DE-8:8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees,
and
pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
DE-8:9 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness,
thou shalt not
lack any [thing] in it; a land whose stones [are] iron, and out
of whose hills
thou mayest dig brass.
DE-8:10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt
bless the LORD thy
God for the good land which he hath given thee.
DE-8:11 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not
keeping his
commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I
command thee this
day:
DE-8:12 Lest [when] thou hast eaten and art full, and hast
built goodly
houses, and dwelt [therein];
DE-8:13 And [when] thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy
silver and thy
gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
DE-8:14 Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD
thy God,
which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the
house of bondage;
DE-8:15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness,
[wherein
were] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where [there
was] no water;
who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
DE-8:16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy
fathers knew
not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to
do thee good
at thy latter end;
DE-8:17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of
[mine] hand
hath gotten me this wealth.
DE-8:18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for [it is]
he that giveth
thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant
which he sware
unto thy fathers, as [it is] this day.
DE-8:19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy
God, and walk
after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify
against you this
day that ye shall surely perish.
DE-8:20 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your
face, so shall
ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of
the LORD your
God.
DE-9:1 Hear, O Israel: Thou [art] to pass over Jordan this day,
to go in to
possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great
and fenced up
to heaven,
DE-9:2 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims,
whom thou
knowest, and [of whom] thou hast heard [say], Who can stand
before the
children of Anak!
DE-9:3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God
[is] he which
goeth over before thee; [as] a consuming fire he shall destroy
them, and he
shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them
out, and
destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.
DE-9:4 Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy
God hath cast
them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD
hath brought
me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these
nations the LORD
doth drive them out from before thee.
DE-9:5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of
thine heart, dost
thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these
nations the
LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he
may perform the
word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob.
DE-9:6 Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee
not this good
land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou [art] a
stiffnecked people.
DE-9:7 Remember, [and] forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD
thy God to
wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out
of the land
of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious
against the
LORD.
DE-9:8 Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the
LORD was
angry with you to have destroyed you.
DE-9:9 When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables
of stone,
[even] the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you,
then I abode
in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat
bread nor drink
water:
DE-9:10 And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone
written with the
finger of God; and on them [was written] according to all the
words, which the
LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in
the day of
the assembly.
DE-9:11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty
nights, [that]
the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, [even] the tables of
the covenant.
DE-9:12 And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly
from hence;
for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have
corrupted
[themselves]; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which
I commanded
them; they have made them a molten image.
DE-9:13 Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen
this people,
and, behold, it [is] a stiffnecked people:
DE-9:14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out
their name from
under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and
greater than they.
DE-9:15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount
burned with
fire: and the two tables of the covenant [were] in my two hands.
DE-9:16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the
LORD your God,
[and] had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly
out of the way
which the LORD had commanded you.
DE-9:17 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two
hands, and
brake them before your eyes.
DE-9:18 And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty
days and
forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because
of all your
sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD,
to provoke
him to anger.
DE-9:19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure,
wherewith the LORD
was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened
unto me at that
time also.
DE-9:20 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have
destroyed him: and I
prayed for Aaron also the same time.
DE-9:21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and
burnt it with
fire, and stamped it, [and] ground [it] very small, [even] until
it was as
small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that
descended out
of the mount.
DE-9:22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah,
ye provoked
the LORD to wrath.
DE-9:23 Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea,
saying, Go up and
possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled
against the
commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor
hearkened to
his voice.
DE-9:24 Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day
that I knew
you.
DE-9:25 Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty
nights, as I
fell down [at the first]; because the LORD had said he would
destroy you.
DE-9:26 I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD,
destroy not
thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed
through thy
greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a
mighty hand.
DE-9:27 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look
not unto the
stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to
their sin:
DE-9:28 Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say,
Because the LORD was
not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and
because he
hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the
wilderness.
DE-9:29 Yet they [are] thy people and thine inheritance, which
thou
broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.
DE-10:1 At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables
of stone like
unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make
thee an ark of
wood.
DE-10:2 And I will write on the tables the words that were in
the first
tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.
DE-10:3 And I made an ark [of] shittim wood, and hewed two
tables of stone
like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two
tables in mine
hand.
DE-10:4 And he wrote on the tables, according to the first
writing, the ten
commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of
the midst of
the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto
me.
DE-10:5 And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and
put the tables
in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD
commanded me.
DE-10:6 And the children of Israel took their journey from
Beeroth of the
children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died, and there he was
buried; and
Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.
DE-10:7 From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from
Gudgodah to
Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.
DE-10:8 At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to
bear the ark of
the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister
unto him, and
to bless in his name, unto this day.
DE-10:9 Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his
brethren; the
LORD [is] his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God
promised him.
DE-10:10 And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time,
forty days
and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that time
also, [and] the
LORD would not destroy thee.
DE-10:11 And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take [thy] journey
before the
people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware
unto their
fathers to give unto them.
DE-10:12 And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of
thee, but to
fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him,
and to serve
the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
DE-10:13 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes,
which I
command thee this day for thy good?
DE-10:14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens [is] the
LORD'S thy
God, the earth [also], with all that therein [is].
DE-10:15 Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love
them, and he
chose their seed after them, [even] you above all people, as [it
is] this day.
DE-10:16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and
be no more
stiffnecked.
DE-10:17 For the LORD your God [is] God of gods, and Lord of
lords, a great
God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor
taketh reward:
DE-10:18 He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and
widow, and loveth
the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
DE-10:19 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers
in the land of
Egypt.
DE-10:20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve,
and to him
shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
DE-10:21 He [is] thy praise, and he [is] thy God, that hath
done for thee
these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.
DE-10:22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and
ten persons;
and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven
for multitude.
DE-11:1 Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep
his charge, and
his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.
DE-11:2 And know ye this day: for [I speak] not with your
children which have
not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD
your God, his
greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,
DE-11:3 And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the
midst of Egypt
unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
DE-11:4 And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their
horses, and to
their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow
them as they
pursued after you, and [how] the LORD hath destroyed them unto
this day;
DE-11:5 And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye
came into this
place;
DE-11:6 And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of
Eliab, the son of
Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up,
and their
households, and their tents, and all the substance that [was] in
their
possession, in the midst of all Israel:
DE-11:7 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD
which he did.
DE-11:8 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I
command you this
day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land,
whither ye go to
possess it;
DE-11:9 And that ye may prolong [your] days in the land, which
the LORD sware
unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land
that floweth
with milk and honey.
DE-11:10 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it,
[is] not as the
land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy
seed, and
wateredst [it] with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:
DE-11:11 But the land, whither ye go to possess it, [is] a land
of hills and
valleys, [and] drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
DE-11:12 A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of
the LORD thy
God [are] always upon it, from the beginning of the year even
unto the end of
the year.
DE-11:13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken
diligently unto my
commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your
God, and to
serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
DE-11:14 That I will give [you] the rain of your land in his
due season, the
first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy
corn, and thy
wine, and thine oil.
DE-11:15 And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle,
that thou mayest
eat and be full.
DE-11:16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not
deceived, and ye
turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
DE-11:17 And [then] the LORD'S wrath be kindled against you,
and he shut up
the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not
her fruit; and
[lest] ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD
giveth you.
DE-11:18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart
and in your
soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be
as frontlets
between your eyes.
DE-11:19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of
them when thou
sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when
thou liest
down, and when thou risest up.
DE-11:20 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine
house, and
upon thy gates:
DE-11:21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your
children, in
the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as
the days of
heaven upon the earth.
DE-11:22 For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments
which I
command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in
all his ways,
and to cleave unto him;
DE-11:23 Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from
before you, and
ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.
DE-11:24 Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread
shall be
yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the
river Euphrates,
even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.
DE-11:25 There shall no man be able to stand before you: [for]
the LORD your
God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the
land that ye
shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.
DE-11:26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a
curse;
DE-11:27 A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD
your God, which
I command you this day:
DE-11:28 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of
the LORD your
God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day,
to go after
other gods, which ye have not known.
DE-11:29 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath
brought thee
in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou
shalt put the
blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.
DE-11:30 [Are] they not on the other side Jordan, by the way
where the sun
goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the
champaign over
against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?
DE-11:31 For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the
land which the
LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell
therein.
DE-11:32 And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and
judgments which I
set before you this day.
DE-12:1 These [are] the statutes and judgments, which ye shall
observe to do
in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to
possess it, all
the days that ye live upon the earth.
DE-12:2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the
nations which ye
shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and
upon the hills,
and under every green tree:
DE-12:3 And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their
pillars, and
burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven
images of their
gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.
DE-12:4 Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.
DE-12:5 But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose
out of all
your tribes to put his name there, [even] unto his habitation
shall ye seek,
and thither thou shalt come:
DE-12:6 And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and
your sacrifices,
and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows,
and your
freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your
flocks:
DE-12:7 And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye
shall rejoice
in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households,
wherein the LORD
thy God hath blessed thee.
DE-12:8 Ye shall not do after all [the things] that we do here
this day,
every man whatsoever [is] right in his own eyes.
DE-12:9 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the
inheritance, which
the LORD your God giveth you.
DE-12:10 But [when] ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land
which the LORD
your God giveth you to inherit, and [when] he giveth you rest
from all your
enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;
DE-12:11 Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God
shall choose to
cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I
command you;
your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the
heave offering
of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the
LORD:
DE-12:12 And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and
your sons,
and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants,
and the
Levite that [is] within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part
nor
inheritance with you.
DE-12:13 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt
offerings in
every place that thou seest:
DE-12:14 But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of
thy tribes,
there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt
do all that I
command thee.
DE-12:15 Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all
thy gates,
whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of
the LORD thy
God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat
thereof, as of
the roebuck, and as of the hart.
DE-12:16 Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon
the earth as
water.
DE-12:17 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy
corn, or of
thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of
thy flock, nor
any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings,
or heave
offering of thine hand:
DE-12:18 But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the
place which
the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy
daughter, and thy
manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that [is] within
thy gates:
and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou
puttest thine
hands unto.
DE-12:19 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite
as long as
thou livest upon the earth.
DE-12:20 When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he
hath promised
thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul
longeth to eat
flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
DE-12:21 If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put
his name
there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and
of thy flock,
which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and
thou shalt eat
in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
DE-12:22 Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou
shalt eat them:
the unclean and the clean shall eat [of] them alike.
DE-12:23 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the
blood [is] the
life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
DE-12:24 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the
earth as water.
DE-12:25 Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee,
and with thy
children after thee, when thou shalt do [that which is] right in
the sight of
the LORD.
DE-12:26 Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows,
thou shalt take,
and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose.
DE-12:27 And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh
and the blood,
upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy
sacrifices shall be
poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt
eat the flesh.
DE-12:28 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee,
that it may
go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever,
when thou doest
[that which is] good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.
DE-12:29 When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from
before thee,
whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them,
and dwellest in
their land;
DE-12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by
following them,
after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou
inquire not after
their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even
so will I do
likewise.
DE-12:31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every
abomination to
the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for
even their sons
and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
DE-12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it:
thou shalt not
add thereto, nor diminish from it.
DE-13:1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of
dreams, and
giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
DE-13:2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he
spake unto thee,
saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known,
and let us
serve them;
DE-13:3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet,
or that
dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know
whether ye love
the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
DE-13:4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him,
and keep his
commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and
cleave unto him.
DE-13:5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be
put to death;
because he hath spoken to turn [you] away from the LORD your God,
which
brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of
the house of
bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God
commanded thee
to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of
thee.
DE-13:6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or
thy daughter,
or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which [is] as thine own
soul, entice
thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which
thou hast not
known, thou, nor thy fathers;
DE-13:7 [Namely], of the gods of the people which [are] round
about you, nigh
unto thee, or far off from thee, from the [one] end of the earth
even unto the
[other] end of the earth;
DE-13:8 Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him;
neither shall
thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou
conceal him:
DE-13:9 But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be
first upon him to
put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
DE-13:10 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die;
because he hath
sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought
thee out of
the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
DE-13:11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no
more any such
wickedness as this is among you.
DE-13:12 If thou shalt hear [say] in one of thy cities, which
the LORD thy
God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,
DE-13:13 [Certain] men, the children of Belial, are gone out
from among you,
and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us
go and serve
other gods, which ye have not known;
DE-13:14 Then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask
diligently; and,
behold, [if it be] truth, [and] the thing certain, [that] such
abomination is
wrought among you;
DE-13:15 Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city
with the edge
of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that [is] therein,
and the cattle
thereof, with the edge of the sword.
DE-13:16 And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the
midst of the
street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the
spoil thereof
every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for
ever; it shall
not be built again.
DE-13:17 And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to
thine hand:
that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and
show thee mercy,
and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath
sworn unto thy
fathers;
DE-13:18 When thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy
God, to keep
all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do [that
which is]
right in the eyes of the LORD thy God.
DE-14:1 Ye [are] the children of the LORD your God: ye shall
not cut
yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
DE-14:2 For thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God,
and the LORD
hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all
the nations
that [are] upon the earth.
DE-14:3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
DE-14:4 These [are] the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the
sheep, and the
goat,
DE-14:5 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the
wild goat,
and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
DE-14:6 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the
cleft into
two claws, [and] cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall
eat.
DE-14:7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew
the cud, or of
them that divide the cloven hoof; [as] the camel, and the hare,
and the coney:
for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; [therefore] they
[are] unclean
unto you.
DE-14:8 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet
cheweth not the cud,
it [is] unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor
touch their
dead carcase.
DE-14:9 These ye shall eat of all that [are] in the waters: all
that have
fins and scales shall ye eat:
DE-14:10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat;
it [is]
unclean unto you.
DE-14:11 [Of] all clean birds ye shall eat.
DE-14:12 But these [are they] of which ye shall not eat: the
eagle, and the
ossifrage, and the osprey,
DE-14:13 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his
kind,
DE-14:14 And every raven after his kind,
DE-14:15 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckoo, and
the hawk after
his kind,
DE-14:16 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
DE-14:17 And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
DE-14:18 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the
lapwing, and
the bat.
DE-14:19 And every creeping thing that flieth [is] unclean unto
you: they
shall not be eaten.
DE-14:20 [But of] all clean fowls ye may eat.
DE-14:21 Ye shall not eat [of] any thing that dieth of itself:
thou shalt
give it unto the stranger that [is] in thy gates, that he may
eat it; or thou
mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou [art] an holy people unto
the LORD thy
God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
DE-14:22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed,
that the field
bringeth forth year by year.
DE-14:23 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the
place which he
shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of
thy wine, and
of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks;
that thou
mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.
DE-14:24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art
not able to
carry it; [or] if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD
thy God shall
choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed
thee:
DE-14:25 Then shalt thou turn [it] into money, and bind up the
money in thine
hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall
choose:
DE-14:26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy
soul lusteth
after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink,
or for
whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before
the LORD thy
God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
DE-14:27 And the Levite that [is] within thy gates; thou shalt
not forsake
him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
DE-14:28 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all
the tithe of
thine increase the same year, and shalt lay [it] up within thy
gates:
DE-14:29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor
inheritance with thee,)
and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which [are]
within thy
gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD
thy God may
bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
DE-15:1 At the end of [every] seven years thou shalt make a
release.
DE-15:2 And this [is] the manner of the release: Every creditor
that lendeth
[ought] unto his neighbour shall release [it]; he shall not
exact [it] of his
neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD'S
release.
DE-15:3 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact [it again]: but [that]
which is
thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;
DE-15:4 Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the
LORD shall
greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth
thee [for] an
inheritance to possess it:
DE-15:5 Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the
LORD thy God, to
observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this
day.
DE-15:6 For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee:
and thou
shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and
thou shalt reign
over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.
DE-15:7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren
within any of
thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou
shalt not
harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:
DE-15:8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt
surely lend
him sufficient for his need, [in that] which he wanteth.
DE-15:9 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart,
saying, The
seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be
evil against
thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto
the LORD against
thee, and it be sin unto thee.
DE-15:10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not
be grieved
when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD
thy God shall
bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine
hand unto.
DE-15:11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land:
therefore I command
thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother,
to thy poor,
and to thy needy, in thy land.
DE-15:12 [And] if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew
woman, be sold
unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year
thou shalt let
him go free from thee.
DE-15:13 And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou
shalt not let him
go away empty:
DE-15:14 Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and
out of thy
floor, and out of thy winepress: [of that] wherewith the LORD
thy God hath
blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.
DE-15:15 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in
the land of
Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command
thee this thing
to day.
DE-15:16 And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go
away from thee;
because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with
thee;
DE-15:17 Then thou shalt take an awl, and thrust [it] through
his ear unto
the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto
thy maidservant
thou shalt do likewise.
DE-15:18 It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest
him away free
from thee; for he hath been worth a double hired servant [to
thee], in serving
thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all
that thou doest.
DE-15:19 All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of
thy flock thou
shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with
the firstling
of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.
DE-15:20 Thou shalt eat [it] before the LORD thy God year by
year in the
place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.
DE-15:21 And if there be [any] blemish therein, [as if it be]
lame, or blind,
[or have] any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the
LORD thy God.
DE-15:22 Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and
the clean
[person shall eat it] alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.
DE-15:23 Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt
pour it upon
the ground as water.
DE-16:1 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto
the LORD thy
God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee
forth out of Egypt
by night.
DE-16:2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the
LORD thy God, of
the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose
to place his
name there.
DE-16:3 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days
shalt thou eat
unleavened bread therewith, [even] the bread of affliction: for
thou camest
forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest
remember the day
when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of
thy life.
DE-16:4 And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in
all thy coast
seven days; neither shall there [any thing] of the flesh, which
thou
sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the
morning.
DE-16:5 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of
thy gates, which
the LORD thy God giveth thee:
DE-16:6 But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to
place his
name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the
going down of
the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.
DE-16:7 And thou shalt roast and eat [it] in the place which
the LORD thy God
shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto
thy tents.
DE-16:8 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the
seventh day
[shall be] a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do
no work
[therein].
DE-16:9 Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to
number the seven
weeks from [such time as] thou beginnest [to put] the sickle to
the corn.
DE-16:10 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD
thy God with a
tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt
give [unto the
LORD thy God], according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
DE-16:11 And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou,
and thy son,
and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and
the Levite that
[is] within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and
the widow,
that [are] among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath
chosen to place
his name there.
DE-16:12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in
Egypt: and thou
shalt observe and do these statutes.
DE-16:13 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days,
after that
thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:
DE-16:14 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son,
and thy
daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the
Levite, the
stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that [are] within
thy gates.
DE-16:15 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the
LORD thy God in
the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God
shall bless
thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands,
therefore
thou shalt surely rejoice.
DE-16:16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear
before the LORD thy
God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of
unleavened bread, and
in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they
shall not
appear before the LORD empty:
DE-16:17 Every man [shall give] as he is able, according to the
blessing of
the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.
DE-16:18 Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy
gates, which the
LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall
judge the
people with just judgment.
DE-16:19 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect
persons,
neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise,
and pervert
the words of the righteous.
DE-16:20 That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that
thou mayest
live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
DE-16:21 Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near
unto the altar
of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee.
DE-16:22 Neither shalt thou set thee up [any] image; which the
LORD thy God
hateth.
DE-17:1 Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God [any]
bullock, or
sheep, wherein is blemish, [or] any evilfavouredness: for that
[is] an
abomination unto the LORD thy God.
DE-17:2 If there be found among you, within any of thy gates
which the LORD
thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness
in the sight
of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant,
DE-17:3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped
them, either the
sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not
commanded;
DE-17:4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard [of it], and
inquired
diligently, and, behold, [it be] true, [and] the thing certain,
[that] such
abomination is wrought in Israel:
DE-17:5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman,
which have
committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, [even] that man or
that woman,
and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
DE-17:6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses,
shall he that is
worthy of death be put to death; [but] at the mouth of one
witness he shall
not be put to death.
DE-17:7 The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to
put him to
death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt
put the evil
away from among you.
DE-17:8 If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment,
between blood
and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke,
[being]
matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise,
and get thee
up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose;
DE-17:9 And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and
unto the judge
that shall be in those days, and inquire; and they shall show
thee the
sentence of judgment:
DE-17:10 And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which
they of that
place which the LORD shall choose shall show thee; and thou
shalt observe to
do according to all that they inform thee:
DE-17:11 According to the sentence of the law which they shall
teach thee,
and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou
shalt do: thou
shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall show thee,
[to] the right
hand, nor [to] the left.
DE-17:12 And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not
hearken unto
the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy
God, or unto
the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the
evil from
Israel.
DE-17:13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more
presumptuously.
DE-17:14 When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy
God giveth thee,
and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I
will set a
king over me, like as all the nations that [are] about me;
DE-17:15 Thou shalt in any wise set [him] king over thee, whom
the LORD thy
God shall choose: [one] from among thy brethren shalt thou set
king over thee:
thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which [is] not thy
brother.
DE-17:16 But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause
the people to
return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses:
forasmuch as the
LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that
way.
DE-17:17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his
heart turn not
away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and
gold.
DE-17:18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of
his kingdom,
that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of
[that which is]
before the priests the Levites:
DE-17:19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein
all the days of
his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep
all the words of
this law and these statutes, to do them:
DE-17:20 That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren,
and that he turn
not aside from the commandment, [to] the right hand, or [to] the
left: to the
end that he may prolong [his] days in his kingdom, he, and his
children, in
the midst of Israel.
DE-18:1 The priests the Levites, [and] all the tribe of Levi,
shall have no
part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings
of the LORD
made by fire, and his inheritance.
DE-18:2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their
brethren: the
LORD [is] their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
DE-18:3 And this shall be the priest's due from the people,
from them that
offer a sacrifice, whether [it be] ox or sheep; and they shall
give unto the
priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
DE-18:4 The firstfruit [also] of thy corn, of thy wine, and of
thine oil, and
the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
DE-18:5 For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy
tribes, to stand
to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.
DE-18:6 And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all
Israel, where
he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the
place which
the LORD shall choose;
DE-18:7 Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God,
as all his
brethren the Levites [do], which stand there before the LORD.
DE-18:8 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which
cometh of the
sale of his patrimony.
DE-18:9 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God
giveth thee,
thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those
nations.
DE-18:10 There shall not be found among you [any one] that
maketh his son or
his daughter to pass through the fire, [or] that useth
divination, [or] an
observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
DE-18:11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or
a wizard, or
a necromancer.
DE-18:12 For all that do these things [are] an abomination unto
the LORD: and
because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them
out from before
thee.
DE-18:13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
DE-18:14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened
unto
observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD
thy God hath
not suffered thee so [to do].
DE-18:15 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet
from the midst of
thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
DE-18:16 According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy
God in Horeb in
the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice
of the LORD
my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die
not.
DE-18:17 And the LORD said unto me, They have well [spoken
that] which they
have spoken.
DE-18:18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their
brethren, like unto
thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak
unto them all
that I shall command him.
DE-18:19 And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever will not
hearken unto my
words which he shall speak in my name, I will require [it] of
him.
DE-18:20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word
in my name,
which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in
the name of
other gods, even that prophet shall die.
DE-18:21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the
word which the
LORD hath not spoken?
DE-18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if
the thing follow
not, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD hath
not spoken,
[but] the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not
be afraid of
him.
DE-19:1 When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose
land the LORD
thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in
their cities,
and in their houses;
DE-19:2 Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst
of thy land,
which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
DE-19:3 Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of
thy land,
which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts,
that every
slayer may flee thither.
DE-19:4 And this [is] the case of the slayer, which shall flee
thither, that
he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he
hated not in time
past;
DE-19:5 As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to
hew wood, and
his hand fetcheth a stroke with the ax to cut down the tree, and
the head
slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that
he die; he
shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:
DE-19:6 Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while
his heart is
hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him;
whereas he [was]
not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.
DE-19:7 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate
three cities
for thee.
DE-19:8 And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath
sworn unto thy
fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give
unto thy
fathers;
DE-19:9 If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them,
which I command
thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his
ways; then
shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:
DE-19:10 That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the
LORD thy God
giveth thee [for] an inheritance, and [so] blood be upon thee.
DE-19:11 But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for
him, and rise
up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth
into one of
these cities:
DE-19:12 Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him
thence, and
deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may
die.
DE-19:13 Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away
[the guilt of]
innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.
DE-19:14 Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which
they of old
time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in
the land that
the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
DE-19:15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any
iniquity, or for
any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two
witnesses, or at the
mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
DE-19:16 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify
against him
[that which is] wrong;
DE-19:17 Then both the men, between whom the controversy [is],
shall stand
before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall
be in those
days;
DE-19:18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and,
behold, [if]
the witness [be] a false witness, [and] hath testified falsely
against his
brother;
DE-19:19 Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have
done unto his
brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
DE-19:20 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall
henceforth
commit no more any such evil among you.
DE-19:21 And thine eye shall not pity; [but] life [shall go]
for life, eye
for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
DE-20:1 When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies,
and seest
horses, and chariots, [and] a people more than thou, be not
afraid of them:
for the LORD thy God [is] with thee, which brought thee up out
of the land of
Egypt.
DE-20:2 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle,
that the
priest shall approach and speak unto the people,
DE-20:3 And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach
this day unto
battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not,
and do not
tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;
DE-20:4 For the LORD your God [is] he that goeth with you, to
fight for you
against your enemies, to save you.
DE-20:5 And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying,
What man [is
there] that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it?
let him go and
return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man
dedicate it.
DE-20:6 And what man [is he] that hath planted a vineyard, and
hath not [yet]
eaten of it? let him [also] go and return unto his house, lest
he die in the
battle, and another man eat of it.
DE-20:7 And what man [is there] that hath betrothed a wife, and
hath not
taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in
the battle,
and another man take her.
DE-20:8 And the officers shall speak further unto the people,
and they shall
say, What man [is there that is] fearful and fainthearted? let
him go and
return unto his house, lest his brethren's heart faint as well
as his heart.
DE-20:9 And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of
speaking unto
the people, that they shall make captains of the armies to lead
the people.
DE-20:10 When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it,
then proclaim
peace unto it.
DE-20:11 And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and
open unto
thee, then it shall be, [that] all the people [that is] found
therein shall be
tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.
DE-20:12 And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make
war against
thee, then thou shalt besiege it:
DE-20:13 And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine
hands, thou
shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:
DE-20:14 But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle,
and all that is
in the city, [even] all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto
thyself; and
thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy
God hath given
thee.
DE-20:15 Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities [which are]
very far off from
thee, which [are] not of the cities of these nations.
DE-20:16 But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy
God doth give
thee [for] an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that
breatheth:
DE-20:17 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; [namely], the
Hittites, and the
Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and
the Jebusites;
as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:
DE-20:18 That they teach you not to do after all their
abominations, which
they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the
LORD your God.
DE-20:19 When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making
war against it
to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing
an ax against
them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them
down (for the
tree of the field [is] man's [life]) to employ [them] in the
siege:
DE-20:20 Only the trees which thou knowest that they [be] not
trees for meat,
thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build
bulwarks against
the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.
DE-21:1 If [one] be found slain in the land which the LORD thy
God giveth
thee to possess it, lying in the field, [and] it be not known
who hath slain
him:
DE-21:2 Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and
they shall
measure unto the cities which [are] round about him that is
slain:
DE-21:3 And it shall be, [that] the city [which is] next unto
the slain man,
even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath
not been wrought
with, [and] which hath not drawn in the yoke;
DE-21:4 And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer
unto a rough
valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off
the heifer's
neck there in the valley:
DE-21:5 And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for
them the LORD
thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the
name of the
LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke
be [tried]:
DE-21:6 And all the elders of that city, [that are] next unto
the slain
[man], shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded
in the valley:
DE-21:7 And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed
this blood,
neither have our eyes seen [it].
DE-21:8 Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou
hast redeemed,
and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge.
And the blood
shall be forgiven them.
DE-21:9 So shalt thou put away the [guilt of] innocent blood
from among you,
when thou shalt do [that which is] right in the sight of the
LORD.
DE-21:10 When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies,
and the LORD thy
God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken
them captive,
DE-21:11 And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and
hast a desire
unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;
DE-21:12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she
shall shave
her head, and pare her nails;
DE-21:13 And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from
off her, and
shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her
mother a full
month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her
husband, and she
shall be thy wife.
DE-21:14 And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then
thou shalt let
her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for
money, thou
shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.
DE-21:15 If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another
hated, and they
have born him children, [both] the beloved and the hated; and
[if] the
firstborn son be hers that was hated:
DE-21:16 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit
[that] which he
hath, [that] he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn
before the son
of the hated, [which is indeed] the firstborn:
DE-21:17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated [for]
the firstborn,
by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he [is]
the beginning
of his strength; the right of the firstborn [is] his.
DE-21:18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which
will not obey the
voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and [that],
when they have
chastened him, will not hearken unto them:
DE-21:19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him,
and bring him
out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
DE-21:20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This
our son [is]
stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; [he is] a
glutton, and a
drunkard.
DE-21:21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with
stones, that he
die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel
shall hear,
and fear.
DE-21:22 And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and
he be to be
put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:
DE-21:23 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but
thou shalt in
any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged [is] accursed
of God;) that
thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee
[for] an
inheritance.
DE-22:1 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go
astray, and hide
thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto
thy brother.
DE-22:2 And if thy brother [be] not nigh unto thee, or if thou
know him not,
then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be
with thee until
thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him
again.
DE-22:3 In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt
thou do with
his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's, which he
hath lost, and
thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide
thyself.
DE-22:4 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall
down by the way,
and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift
[them] up
again.
DE-22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a
man, neither
shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so [are]
abomination
unto the LORD thy God.
DE-22:6 If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in
any tree, or
on the ground, [whether they be] young ones, or eggs, and the
dam sitting upon
the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with
the young:
DE-22:7 [But] thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take
the young to
thee; that it may be well with thee, and [that] thou mayest
prolong [thy]
days.
DE-22:8 When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a
battlement for
thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man
fall from
thence.
DE-22:9 Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest
the fruit of
thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be
defiled.
DE-22:10 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
DE-22:11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, [as] of
woollen and
linen together.
DE-22:12 Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of
thy vesture,
wherewith thou coverest [thyself].
DE-22:13 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate
her,
DE-22:14 And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up
an evil name
upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I
found her not
a maid:
DE-22:15 Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother,
take and bring
forth [the tokens of] the damsel's virginity unto the elders of
the city in
the gate:
DE-22:16 And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I
gave my
daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
DE-22:17 And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech [against
her], saying, I
found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these [are the tokens of]
my daughter's
virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of
the city.
DE-22:18 And the elders of that city shall take that man and
chastise him;
DE-22:19 And they shall amerce him in an hundred [shekels] of
silver, and
give [them] unto the father of the damsel, because he hath
brought up an evil
name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may
not put her
away all his days.
DE-22:20 But if this thing be true, [and the tokens of]
virginity be not
found for the damsel:
DE-22:21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of
her father's
house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that
she die:
because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in
her father's
house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
DE-22:22 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an
husband, then
they shall both of them die, [both] the man that lay with the
woman, and the
woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.
DE-22:23 If a damsel [that is] a virgin be betrothed unto an
husband, and a
man find her in the city, and lie with her;
DE-22:24 Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of
that city, and ye
shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because
she cried not,
[being] in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his
neighbour's
wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
DE-22:25 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and
the man force
her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall
die:
DE-22:26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; [there is]
in the damsel
no sin [worthy] of death: for as when a man riseth against his
neighbour, and
slayeth him, even so [is] this matter:
DE-22:27 For he found her in the field, [and] the betrothed
damsel cried, and
[there was] none to save her.
DE-22:28 If a man find a damsel [that is] a virgin, which is
not betrothed,
and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
DE-22:29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the
damsel's father
fifty [shekels] of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he
hath humbled
her, he may not put her away all his days.
DE-22:30 A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover
his father's
skirt.
DE-23:1 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy
member cut off,
shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
DE-23:2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the
LORD; even to
his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of
the LORD.
DE-23:3 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the
congregation of the
LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into
the
congregation of the LORD for ever:
DE-23:4 Because they met you not with bread and with water in
the way, when
ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee
Balaam the son
of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
DE-23:5 Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto
Balaam; but the
LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because
the LORD thy
God loved thee.
DE-23:6 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity
all thy days for
ever.
DE-23:7 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he [is] thy
brother: thou shalt
not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.
DE-23:8 The children that are begotten of them shall enter into
the
congregation of the LORD in their third generation.
DE-23:9 When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then
keep thee from
every wicked thing.
DE-23:10 If there be among you any man, that is not clean by
reason of
uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad
out of the
camp, he shall not come within the camp:
DE-23:11 But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash
[himself]
with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the
camp [again].
DE-23:12 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither
thou shalt go
forth abroad:
DE-23:13 And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it
shall be, when
thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and
shalt turn back
and cover that which cometh from thee:
DE-23:14 For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp,
to deliver
thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall
thy camp be
holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from
thee.
DE-23:15 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant
which is escaped
from his master unto thee:
DE-23:16 He shall dwell with thee, [even] among you, in that
place which he
shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou
shalt not
oppress him.
DE-23:17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel,
nor a sodomite
of the sons of Israel.
DE-23:18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price
of a dog,
into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both
these [are]
abomination unto the LORD thy God.
DE-23:19 Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury
of money, usury
of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:
DE-23:20 Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto
thy brother
thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless
thee in all
that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest
to possess it.
DE-23:21 When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou
shalt not
slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of
thee; and it
would be sin in thee.
DE-23:22 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin
in thee.
DE-23:23 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and
perform;
[even] a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto
the LORD thy
God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
DE-23:24 When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, then
thou mayest eat
grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put
[any] in thy
vessel.
DE-23:25 When thou comest into the standing corn of thy
neighbour, then thou
mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a
sickle unto
thy neighbour's standing corn.
DE-24:1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it
come to pass
that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some
uncleanness in
her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give [it]
in her hand,
and send her out of his house.
DE-24:2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go
and be another
man's [wife].
DE-24:3 And [if] the latter husband hate her, and write her a
bill of
divorcement, and giveth [it] in her hand, and sendeth her out of
his house; or
if the latter husband die, which took her [to be] his wife;
DE-24:4 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take
her again to be
his wife, after that she is defiled; for that [is] abomination
before the
LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD
thy God giveth
thee [for] an inheritance.
DE-24:5 When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out
to war, neither
shall he be charged with any business: [but] he shall be free at
home one
year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.
DE-24:6 No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to
pledge: for he
taketh [a man's] life to pledge.
DE-24:7 If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the
children of
Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that
thief shall
die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.
DE-24:8 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe
diligently, and
do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you:
as I
commanded them, [so] ye shall observe to do.
DE-24:9 Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the
way, after that
ye were come forth out of Egypt.
DE-24:10 When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt
not go into
his house to fetch his pledge.
DE-24:11 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost
lend shall
bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
DE-24:12 And if the man [be] poor, thou shalt not sleep with
his pledge:
DE-24:13 In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again
when the sun
goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee:
and it shall
be righteousness unto thee before the LORD thy God.
DE-24:14 Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant [that is] poor
and needy,
[whether he be] of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that [are]
in thy land
within thy gates:
DE-24:15 At his day thou shalt give [him] his hire, neither
shall the sun go
down upon it; for he [is] poor, and setteth his heart upon it:
lest he cry
against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee.
DE-24:16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children,
neither
shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man
shall be put to
death for his own sin.
DE-24:17 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger,
[nor] of the
fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:
DE-24:18 But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in
Egypt, and the
LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to
do this thing.
DE-24:19 When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and
hast forgot a
sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it
shall be for the
stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD
thy God may
bless thee in all the work of thine hands.
DE-24:20 When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go
over the
boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless,
and for the
widow.
DE-24:21 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou
shalt not glean
[it] afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless,
and for the
widow.
DE-24:22 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in
the land of
Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
DE-25:1 If there be a controversy between men, and they come
unto judgment,
that [the judges] may judge them; then they shall justify the
righteous, and
condemn the wicked.
DE-25:2 And it shall be, if the wicked man [be] worthy to be
beaten, that the
judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his
face, according
to his fault, by a certain number.
DE-25:3 Forty stripes he may give him, [and] not exceed: lest,
[if] he should
exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy
brother should
seem vile unto thee.
DE-25:4 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out [the
corn].
DE-25:5 If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and
have no child,
the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger:
her husband's
brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and
perform the
duty of an husband's brother unto her.
DE-25:6 And it shall be, [that] the firstborn which she beareth
shall succeed
in the name of his brother [which is] dead, that his name be not
put out of
Israel.
DE-25:7 And if the man like not to take his brother's wife,
then let his
brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My
husband's
brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel,
he will not
perform the duty of my husband's brother.
DE-25:8 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak
unto him: and
[if] he stand [to it], and say, I like not to take her;
DE-25:9 Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the
presence of the
elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his
face, and shall
answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not
build up his
brother's house.
DE-25:10 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of
him that hath
his shoe loosed.
DE-25:11 When men strive together one with another, and the
wife of the one
draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him
that smiteth
him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:
DE-25:12 Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not
pity [her].
DE-25:13 Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great
and a small.
DE-25:14 Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a
great and a
small.
DE-25:15 [But] thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a
perfect and just
measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the
land which the
LORD thy God giveth thee.
DE-25:16 For all that do such things, [and] all that do
unrighteously, [are]
an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
DE-25:17 Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye
were come
forth out of Egypt;
DE-25:18 How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of
thee, [even]
all [that were] feeble behind thee, when thou [wast] faint and
weary; and he
feared not God.
DE-25:19 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath
given thee rest
from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD
thy God giveth
thee [for] an inheritance to possess it, [that] thou shalt blot
out the
remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget
[it].
DE-26:1 And it shall be, when thou [art] come in unto the land
which the LORD
thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance, and possessest it, and
dwellest
therein;
DE-26:2 That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of
the earth,
which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth
thee, and
shalt put [it] in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which
the LORD thy God
shall choose to place his name there.
DE-26:3 And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in
those days, and
say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that I
am come unto
the country which the LORD sware unto our fathers for to give us.
DE-26:4 And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand,
and set it
down before the altar of the LORD thy God.
DE-26:5 And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A
Syrian ready
to perish [was] my father, and he went down into Egypt, and
sojourned there
with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and
populous:
DE-26:6 And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us,
and laid upon
us hard bondage:
DE-26:7 And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the
LORD heard
our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our
oppression:
DE-26:8 And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a
mighty hand, and
with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with
signs, and
with wonders:
DE-26:9 And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given
us this land,
[even] a land that floweth with milk and honey.
DE-26:10 And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the
land, which
thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the
LORD thy God,
and worship before the LORD thy God:
DE-26:11 And thou shalt rejoice in every good [thing] which the
LORD thy God
hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite,
and the
stranger that [is] among you.
DE-26:12 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes
of thine
increase the third year, [which is] the year of tithing, and
hast given [it]
unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow,
that they may
eat within thy gates, and be filled;
DE-26:13 Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have
brought away the
hallowed things out of [mine] house, and also have given them
unto the Levite,
and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow,
according to all
thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not
transgressed thy
commandments, neither have I forgotten [them]:
DE-26:14 I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have
I taken away
[ought] thereof for [any] unclean [use], nor given [ought]
thereof for the
dead: [but] I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God,
[and] have done
according to all that thou hast commanded me.
DE-26:15 Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and
bless thy
people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou
swarest unto our
fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
DE-26:16 This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do
these statutes
and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all
thine heart, and
with all thy soul.
DE-26:17 Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God,
and to walk in
his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and
his judgments,
and to hearken unto his voice:
DE-26:18 And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his
peculiar people,
as he hath promised thee, and that [thou] shouldest keep all his
commandments;
DE-26:19 And to make thee high above all nations which he hath
made, in
praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an
holy people
unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.
DE-27:1 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the
people, saying,
Keep all the commandments which I command you this day.
DE-27:2 And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over
Jordan unto the
land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set
thee up great
stones, and plaster them with plaster:
DE-27:3 And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this
law, when thou
art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which the
LORD thy God
giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the
LORD God of thy
fathers hath promised thee.
DE-27:4 Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan,
[that] ye shall
set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal,
and thou
shalt plaster them with plaster.
DE-27:5 And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy
God, an altar
of stones: thou shalt not lift up [any] iron [tool] upon them.
DE-27:6 Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of whole
stones: and
thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD thy God:
DE-27:7 And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat
there, and
rejoice before the LORD thy God.
DE-27:8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of
this law very
plainly.
DE-27:9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all
Israel, saying,
Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the
people of the
LORD thy God.
DE-27:10 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy
God, and do his
commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.
DE-27:11 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,
DE-27:12 These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the
people, when ye
are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar,
and Joseph,
and Benjamin:
DE-27:13 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben,
Gad, and
Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
DE-27:14 And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men
of Israel with
a loud voice,
DE-27:15 Cursed [be] the man that maketh [any] graven or molten
image, an
abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the
craftsman, and putteth
[it] in [a] secret [place]. And all the people shall answer and
say, Amen.
DE-27:16 Cursed [be] he that setteth light by his father or his
mother. And
all the people shall say, Amen.
DE-27:17 Cursed [be] he that removeth his neighbour's landmark.
And all the
people shall say, Amen.
DE-27:18 Cursed [be] he that maketh the blind to wander out of
the way. And
all the people shall say, Amen.
DE-27:19 Cursed [be] he that perverteth the judgment of the
stranger,
fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.
DE-27:20 Cursed [be] he that lieth with his father's wife;
because he
uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the people shall say,
Amen.
DE-27:21 Cursed [be] he that lieth with any manner of beast.
And all the
people shall say, Amen.
DE-27:22 Cursed [be] he that lieth with his sister, the
daughter of his
father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall
say, Amen.
DE-27:23 Cursed [be] he that lieth with his mother in law. And
all the people
shall say, Amen.
DE-27:24 Cursed [be] he that smiteth his neighbour secretly.
And all the
people shall say, Amen.
DE-27:25 Cursed [be] he that taketh reward to slay an innocent
person. And
all the people shall say, Amen.
DE-27:26 Cursed [be] he that confirmeth not [all] the words of
this law to do
them. And all the people shall say, Amen.
DE-28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken
diligently unto the
voice of the LORD thy God, to observe [and] to do all his
commandments which I
command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on
high above all
nations of the earth:
DE-28:2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and
overtake thee, if
thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
DE-28:3 Blessed [shalt] thou [be] in the city, and blessed
[shalt] thou [be]
in the field.
DE-28:4 Blessed [shall be] the fruit of thy body, and the fruit
of thy
ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine,
and the flocks
of thy sheep.
DE-28:5 Blessed [shall be] thy basket and thy store.
DE-28:6 Blessed [shalt] thou [be] when thou comest in, and
blessed [shalt]
thou [be] when thou goest out.
DE-28:7 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against
thee to be
smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one
way, and flee
before thee seven ways.
DE-28:8 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy
storehouses, and
in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless
thee in the land
which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
DE-28:9 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto
himself, as he hath
sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD
thy God, and
walk in his ways.
DE-28:10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art
called by the
name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.
DE-28:11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in
the fruit of thy
body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy
ground, in the
land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
DE-28:12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the
heaven to give
the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work
of thine hand:
and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
DE-28:13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the
tail; and thou
shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou
hearken unto
the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this
day, to
observe and to do [them]:
DE-28:14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words
which I command
thee this day, [to] the right hand, or [to] the left, to go
after other gods
to serve them.
DE-28:15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken
unto the voice
of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and
his statutes
which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come
upon thee, and
overtake thee:
DE-28:16 Cursed [shalt] thou [be] in the city, and cursed
[shalt] thou [be]
in the field.
DE-28:17 Cursed [shall be] thy basket and thy store.
DE-28:18 Cursed [shall be] the fruit of thy body, and the fruit
of thy land,
the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
DE-28:19 Cursed [shalt] thou [be] when thou comest in, and
cursed [shalt]
thou [be] when thou goest out.
DE-28:20 The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and
rebuke, in all
that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be
destroyed, and
until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy
doings, whereby
thou hast forsaken me.
DE-28:21 The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee,
until he have
consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess
it.
DE-28:22 The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with
a fever, and
with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the
sword, and
with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until
thou perish.
DE-28:23 And thy heaven that [is] over thy head shall be brass,
and the earth
that is under thee [shall be] iron.
DE-28:24 The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and
dust: from
heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
DE-28:25 The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine
enemies: thou
shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before
them: and shalt
be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
DE-28:26 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the
air, and unto
the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray [them] away.
DE-28:27 The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and
with the
emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou
canst not be
healed.
DE-28:28 The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness,
and
astonishment of heart:
DE-28:29 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth
in darkness,
and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only
oppressed and
spoiled evermore, and no man shall save [thee].
DE-28:30 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie
with her: thou
shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou
shalt plant a
vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.
DE-28:31 Thine ox [shall be] slain before thine eyes, and thou
shalt not eat
thereof: thine ass [shall be] violently taken away from before
thy face, and
shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep [shall be] given unto
thine enemies,
and thou shalt have none to rescue [them].
DE-28:32 Thy sons and thy daughters [shall be] given unto
another people, and
thine eyes shall look, and fail [with longing] for them all the
day long: and
[there shall be] no might in thine hand.
DE-28:33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a
nation which
thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and
crushed alway:
DE-28:34 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes
which thou
shalt see.
DE-28:35 The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the
legs, with a sore
botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the
top of thy
head.
DE-28:36 The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou
shalt set over
thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have
known; and there
shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.
DE-28:37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and
a byword,
among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
DE-28:38 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and
shalt gather
[but] little in; for the locust shall consume it.
DE-28:39 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress [them], but
shalt neither
drink [of] the wine, nor gather [the grapes]; for the worms
shall eat them.
DE-28:40 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts,
but thou
shalt not anoint [thyself] with the oil; for thine olive shall
cast [his
fruit].
DE-28:41 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt
not enjoy them;
for they shall go into captivity.
DE-28:42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust
consume.
DE-28:43 The stranger that [is] within thee shall get up above
thee very
high; and thou shalt come down very low.
DE-28:44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him:
he shall be
the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
DE-28:45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and
shall pursue
thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou
hearkenedst not
unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and
his statutes
which he commanded thee:
DE-28:46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a
wonder, and upon
thy seed for ever.
DE-28:47 Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with
joyfulness, and with
gladness of heart, for the abundance of all [things];
DE-28:48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the
LORD shall send
against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in
want of all
[things]: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until
he have
destroyed thee.
DE-28:49 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far,
from the end of
the earth, [as swift] as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue
thou shalt
not understand;
DE-28:50 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard
the person of
the old, nor show favour to the young:
DE-28:51 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the
fruit of thy land,
until thou be destroyed: which [also] shall not leave thee
[either] corn,
wine, or oil, [or] the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy
sheep, until he
have destroyed thee.
DE-28:52 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy
high and
fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all
thy land: and
he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land,
which the LORD
thy God hath given thee.
DE-28:53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the
flesh of thy
sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given
thee, in the
siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall
distress thee:
DE-28:54 [So that] the man [that is] tender among you, and very
delicate, his
eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his
bosom, and
toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:
DE-28:55 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh
of his children
whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege,
and in the
straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all
thy gates.
DE-28:56 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would
not adventure
to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and
tenderness,
her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and
toward her son, and
toward her daughter,
DE-28:57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between
her feet, and
toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them
for want of
all [things] secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith
thine enemy shall
distress thee in thy gates.
DE-28:58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this
law that are
written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and
fearful name,
THE LORD THY GOD;
DE-28:59 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the
plagues of
thy seed, [even] great plagues, and of long continuance, and
sore sicknesses,
and of long continuance.
DE-28:60 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of
Egypt, which
thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
DE-28:61 Also every sickness, and every plague, which [is] not
written in the
book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou
be destroyed.
DE-28:62 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as
the stars of
heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice
of the LORD thy
God.
DE-28:63 And it shall come to pass, [that] as the LORD rejoiced
over you to
do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over
you to destroy
you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from
off the land
whither thou goest to possess it.
DE-28:64 And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from
the one end
of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve
other gods, which
neither thou nor thy fathers have known, [even] wood and stone.
DE-28:65 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease,
neither shall the
sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a
trembling
heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
DE-28:66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou
shalt fear
day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:
DE-28:67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even!
and at even
thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine
heart
wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which
thou shalt
see.
DE-28:68 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with
ships, by the
way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again:
and there ye
shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and
no man shall
buy [you].
DE-29:1 These [are] the words of the covenant, which the LORD
commanded Moses
to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside
the covenant
which he made with them in Horeb.
DE-29:2 And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them,
Ye have seen
all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto
Pharaoh, and
unto all his servants, and unto all his land;
DE-29:3 The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the
signs, and
those great miracles:
DE-29:4 Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive,
and eyes to
see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
DE-29:5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your
clothes are
not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy
foot.
DE-29:6 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or
strong drink:
that ye might know that I [am] the LORD your God.
DE-29:7 And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of
Heshbon, and Og
the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we
smote them:
DE-29:8 And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance
unto the
Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of
Manasseh.
DE-29:9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them,
that ye may
prosper in all that ye do.
DE-29:10 Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God;
your captains
of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, [with] all the
men of Israel,
DE-29:11 Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that
[is] in thy
camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:
DE-29:12 That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD
thy God, and
into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day:
DE-29:13 That he may establish thee to day for a people unto
himself, and
[that] he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and
as he hath
sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
DE-29:14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this
oath;
DE-29:15 But with [him] that standeth here with us this day
before the LORD
our God, and also with [him] that [is] not here with us this day:
DE-29:16 (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt;
and how we came
through the nations which ye passed by;
DE-29:17 And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols,
wood and
stone, silver and gold, which [were] among them:)
DE-29:18 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or
family, or tribe,
whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go
[and] serve the
gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root
that beareth gall
and wormwood;
DE-29:19 And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this
curse, that
he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace,
though I walk in
the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:
DE-29:20 The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the
LORD and his
jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that
are written in
this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his
name from under
heaven.
DE-29:21 And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all
the tribes of
Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are
written in this
book of the law:
DE-29:22 So that the generation to come of your children that
shall rise up
after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land,
shall say, when
they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the
LORD hath laid
upon it;
DE-29:23 [And that] the whole land thereof [is] brimstone, and
salt, [and]
burning, [that] it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass
groweth therein,
like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim,
which the LORD
overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
DE-29:24 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD
done thus unto
this land? what [meaneth] the heat of this great anger?
DE-29:25 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the
covenant of the
LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he
brought them forth
out of the land of Egypt:
DE-29:26 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped
them, gods whom
they knew not, and [whom] he had not given unto them:
DE-29:27 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this
land, to bring
upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
DE-29:28 And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger,
and in wrath,
and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as
[it is] this
day.
DE-29:29 The secret [things belong] unto the LORD our God: but
those [things
which are] revealed [belong] unto us and to our children for
ever, that [we]
may do all the words of this law.
DE-30:1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are
come upon thee,
the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and
thou shalt call
[them] to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God
hath driven
thee,
DE-30:2 And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey
his voice
according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy
children, with all
thine heart, and with all thy soul;
DE-30:3 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and
have
compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all
the nations,
whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
DE-30:4 If [any] of thine be driven out unto the outmost
[parts] of heaven,
from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence
will he fetch
thee:
DE-30:5 And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land
which thy fathers
possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good,
and multiply
thee above thy fathers.
DE-30:6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and
the heart of
thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and
with all thy
soul, that thou mayest live.
DE-30:7 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon
thine enemies,
and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.
DE-30:8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD,
and do all his
commandments which I command thee this day.
DE-30:9 And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every
work of thine
hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle,
and in the
fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice
over thee for
good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
DE-30:10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy
God, to keep
his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book
of the law,
[and] if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart,
and with all
thy soul.
DE-30:11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it
[is] not
hidden from thee, neither [is] it far off.
DE-30:12 It [is] not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who
shall go up for
us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do
it?
DE-30:13 Neither [is] it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest
say, Who shall
go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear
it, and do it?
DE-30:14 But the word [is] very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth,
and in thy
heart, that thou mayest do it.
DE-30:15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good,
and death and
evil;
DE-30:16 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy
God, to walk in
his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his
judgments,
that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall
bless thee in
the land whither thou goest to possess it.
DE-30:17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not
hear, but shalt
be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
DE-30:18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely
perish, [and
that] ye shall not prolong [your] days upon the land, whither
thou passest
over Jordan to go to possess it.
DE-30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you,
[that] I
have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing:
therefore choose
life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
DE-30:20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, [and] that
thou mayest obey
his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he [is] thy
life, and the
length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the
LORD sware
unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give
them.
DE-31:1 And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel.
DE-31:2 And he said unto them, I [am] an hundred and twenty
years old this
day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath said
unto me, Thou
shalt not go over this Jordan.
DE-31:3 The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, [and] he
will destroy
these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them:
[and] Joshua, he
shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.
DE-31:4 And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and
to Og, kings
of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he destroyed.
DE-31:5 And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that
ye may do unto
them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded
you.
DE-31:6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be
afraid of them: for
the LORD thy God, he [it is] that doth go with thee; he will not
fail thee,
nor forsake thee.
DE-31:7 And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the
sight of all
Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with
this people
unto the land which the LORD hath sworn unto their fathers to
give them; and
thou shalt cause them to inherit it.
DE-31:8 And the LORD, he [it is] that doth go before thee; he
will be with
thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not,
neither be
dismayed.
DE-31:9 And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the
priests the sons
of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and
unto all the
elders of Israel.
DE-31:10 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of
[every] seven years,
in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of
tabernacles,
DE-31:11 When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy
God in the
place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all
Israel in
their hearing.
DE-31:12 Gather the people together, men, and women, and
children, and thy
stranger that [is] within thy gates, that they may hear, and
that they may
learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the
words of this
law:
DE-31:13 And [that] their children, which have not known [any
thing], may
hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in
the land
whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
DE-31:14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thy days
approach that thou
must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle
of the
congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua
went, and
presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.
DE-31:15 And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of
a cloud: and
the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.
DE-31:16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep
with thy
fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after
the gods of the
strangers of the land, whither they go [to be] among them, and
will forsake
me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
DE-31:17 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that
day, and I will
forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall
be devoured,
and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will
say in that
day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God [is] not
among us?
DE-31:18 And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the
evils which
they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods.
DE-31:19 Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it
the children
of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a
witness for me
against the children of Israel.
DE-31:20 For when I shall have brought them into the land which
I sware unto
their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall
have eaten and
filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other
gods, and
serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.
DE-31:21 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and
troubles are befallen
them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness;
for it shall not
be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their
imagination
which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into
the land which
I sware.
DE-31:22 Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and
taught it the
children of Israel.
DE-31:23 And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said,
Be strong and
of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel
into the land
which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee.
DE-31:24 And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of
writing the words
of this law in a book, until they were finished,
DE-31:25 That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark
of the covenant
of the LORD, saying,
DE-31:26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of
the ark of the
covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a
witness against
thee.
DE-31:27 For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold,
while I am yet
alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the
LORD; and how
much more after my death?
DE-31:28 Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your
officers,
that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and
earth to
record against them.
DE-31:29 For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt
[yourselves],
and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil
will befall
you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of
the LORD, to
provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.
DE-31:30 And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of
Israel the
words of this song, until they were ended.
DE-32:1 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O
earth, the
words of my mouth.
DE-32:2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall
distil as the
dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers
upon the
grass:
DE-32:3 Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye
greatness
unto our God.
DE-32:4 [He is] the Rock, his work [is] perfect: for all his
ways [are]
judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right
[is] he.
DE-32:5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot [is] not
[the spot] of his
children: [they are] a perverse and crooked generation.
DE-32:6 Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and
unwise? [is] not he
thy father [that] hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and
established
thee?
DE-32:7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many
generations: ask
thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will
tell thee.
DE-32:8 When the Most High divided to the nations their
inheritance, when he
separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people
according to the
number of the children of Israel.
DE-32:9 For the LORD'S portion [is] his people; Jacob [is] the
lot of his
inheritance.
DE-32:10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste
howling wilderness;
he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of
his eye.
DE-32:11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her
young,
spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her
wings:
DE-32:12 [So] the LORD alone did lead him, and [there was] no
strange god
with him.
DE-32:13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that
he might eat
the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of
the rock, and
oil out of the flinty rock;
DE-32:14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs,
and rams of
the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat;
and thou
didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
DE-32:15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat,
thou art
grown thick, thou art covered [with fatness]; then he forsook
God [which] made
him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
DE-32:16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange [gods],
with abominations
provoked they him to anger.
DE-32:17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom
they knew not,
to new [gods that] came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
DE-32:18 Of the Rock [that] begat thee thou art unmindful, and
hast forgotten
God that formed thee.
DE-32:19 And when the LORD saw [it], he abhorred [them],
because of the
provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
DE-32:20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see
what their
end [shall be]: for they [are] a very froward generation,
children in whom
[is] no faith.
DE-32:21 They have moved me to jealousy with [that which is]
not God; they
have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move
them to
jealousy with [those which are] not a people; I will provoke
them to anger
with a foolish nation.
DE-32:22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn
unto the lowest
hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on
fire the
foundations of the mountains.
DE-32:23 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine
arrows upon them.
DE-32:24 [They shall be] burnt with hunger, and devoured with
burning heat,
and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of
beasts upon them,
with the poison of serpents of the dust.
DE-32:25 The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy
both the young
man and the virgin, the suckling [also] with the man of gray
hairs.
DE-32:26 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would
make the
remembrance of them to cease from among men:
DE-32:27 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest
their
adversaries should behave themselves strangely, [and] lest they
should say,
Our hand [is] high, and the LORD hath not done all this.
DE-32:28 For they [are] a nation void of counsel, neither [is
there any]
understanding in them.
DE-32:29 O that they were wise, [that] they understood this,
[that] they
would consider their latter end!
DE-32:30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten
thousand to flight,
except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
DE-32:31 For their rock [is] not as our Rock, even our enemies
themselves
[being] judges.
DE-32:32 For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, and of the
fields of
Gomorrah: their grapes [are] grapes of gall, their clusters
[are] bitter:
DE-32:33 Their wine [is] the poison of dragons, and the cruel
venom of asps.
DE-32:34 [Is] not this laid up in store with me, [and] sealed
up among my
treasures?
DE-32:35 To me [belongeth] vengeance, and recompense; their
foot shall slide
in [due] time: for the day of their calamity [is] at hand, and
the things that
shall come upon them make haste.
DE-32:36 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent
himself for his
servants, when he seeth that [their] power is gone, and [there
is] none shut
up, or left.
DE-32:37 And he shall say, Where [are] their gods, [their] rock
in whom they
trusted,
DE-32:38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, [and] drank
the wine of
their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, [and] be
your
protection.
DE-32:39 See now that I, [even] I, [am] he, and [there is] no
god with me: I
kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither [is there
any] that can
deliver out of my hand.
DE-32:40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for
ever.
DE-32:41 If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold
on judgment;
I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them
that hate me.
DE-32:42 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword
shall devour
flesh; [and that] with the blood of the slain and of the
captives, from the
beginning of revengers upon the enemy.
DE-32:43 Rejoice, O ye nations, [with] his people: for he will
avenge the
blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his
adversaries, and will
be merciful unto his land, [and] to his people.
DE-32:44 And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in
the ears of
the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
DE-32:45 And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to
all Israel:
DE-32:46 And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the
words which I
testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children
to observe to
do, all the words of this law.
DE-32:47 For it [is] not a vain thing for you; because it [is]
your life: and
through this thing ye shall prolong [your] days in the land,
whither ye go
over Jordan to possess it.
DE-32:48 And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day,
saying,
DE-32:49 Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, [unto] mount
Nebo, which [is]
in the land of Moab, that [is] over against Jericho; and behold
the land of
Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a
possession:
DE-32:50 And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be
gathered unto thy
people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered
unto his
people:
DE-32:51 Because ye trespassed against me among the children of
Israel at the
waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye
sanctified me
not in the midst of the children of Israel.
DE-32:52 Yet thou shalt see the land before [thee]; but thou
shalt not go
thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
DE-33:1 And this [is] the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of
God blessed
the children of Israel before his death.
DE-33:2 And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from
Seir unto
them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten
thousands of
saints: from his right hand [went] a fiery law for them.
DE-33:3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints [are] in thy
hand: and they
sat down at thy feet; [every one] shall receive of thy words.
DE-33:4 Moses commanded us a law, [even] the inheritance of the
congregation
of Jacob.
DE-33:5 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the
people [and] the
tribes of Israel were gathered together.
DE-33:6 Let Reuben live, and not die; and let [not] his men be
few.
DE-33:7 And this [is the blessing] of Judah: and he said, Hear,
LORD, the
voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be
sufficient for
him; and be thou an help [to him] from his enemies.
DE-33:8 And of Levi he said, [Let] thy Thummim and thy Urim
[be] with thy
holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, [and with] whom thou
didst strive
at the waters of Meribah;
DE-33:9 Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not
seen him;
neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own
children: for they
have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.
DE-33:10 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy
law: they shall
put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine
altar.
DE-33:11 Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his
hands: smite
through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them
that hate him,
that they rise not again.
DE-33:12 [And] of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD
shall dwell in
safety by him; [and the LORD] shall cover him all the day long,
and he shall
dwell between his shoulders.
DE-33:13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD [be] his
land, for the
precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that
coucheth
beneath,
DE-33:14 And for the precious fruits [brought forth] by the sun,
and for the
precious things put forth by the moon,
DE-33:15 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and
for the
precious things of the lasting hills,
DE-33:16 And for the precious things of the earth and fulness
thereof, and
[for] the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let [the
blessing] come
upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him
[that was]
separated from his brethren.
DE-33:17 His glory [is like] the firstling of his bullock, and
his horns [are
like] the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people
together to
the ends of the earth: and they [are] the ten thousands of
Ephraim, and they
[are] the thousands of Manasseh.
DE-33:18 And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going
out; and,
Issachar, in thy tents.
DE-33:19 They shall call the people unto the mountain; there
they shall offer
sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck [of] the
abundance of the
seas, and [of] treasures hid in the sand.
DE-33:20 And of Gad he said, Blessed [be] he that enlargeth Gad;
he dwelleth
as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head.
DE-33:21 And he provided the first part for himself, because
there, [in] a
portion of the lawgiver, [was he] seated; and he came with the
heads of the
people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments
with Israel.
DE-33:22 And of Dan he said, Dan [is] a lion's whelp: he shall
leap from
Bashan.
DE-33:23 And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with
favour, and full
with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the
south.
DE-33:24 And of Asher he said, [Let] Asher [be] blessed with
children; let
him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in
oil.
DE-33:25 Thy shoes [shall be] iron and brass; and as thy days,
[so shall] thy
strength [be].
DE-33:26 [There is] none like unto the God of Jeshurun, [who]
rideth upon the
heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
DE-33:27 The eternal God [is thy] refuge, and underneath [are]
the
everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before
thee; and
shall say, Destroy [them].
DE-33:28 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain
of Jacob
[shall be] upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall
drop down dew.
DE-33:29 Happy [art] thou, O Israel: who [is] like unto thee, O
people saved
by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who [is] the sword of
thy excellency!
and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt
tread upon
their high places.
DE-34:1 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the
mountain of Nebo,
to the top of Pisgah, that [is] over against Jericho. And the
LORD showed him
all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,
DE-34:2 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh,
and all the
land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,
DE-34:3 And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho,
the city of
palm trees, unto Zoar.
DE-34:4 And the LORD said unto him, This [is] the land which I
sware unto
Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto
thy seed: I
have caused thee to see [it] with thine eyes, but thou shalt not
go over
thither.
DE-34:5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land
of Moab,
according to the word of the LORD.
DE-34:6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over
against
Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
DE-34:7 And Moses [was] an hundred and twenty years old when he
died: his eye
was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
DE-34:8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains
of Moab
thirty days: so the days of weeping [and] mourning for Moses
were ended.
DE-34:9 And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of
wisdom; for Moses
had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel
hearkened unto him,
and did as the LORD commanded Moses.
DE-34:10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like
unto Moses, whom
the LORD knew face to face,
DE-34:11 In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent
him to do in
the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to
all his land,
DE-34:12 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great
terror which Moses
showed in the sight of all Israel.
