The Book of Deuteronomy
Chapter 1
001:001 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.
001:002 (There are eleven days' journey from
Horeb by the way of mount
Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)
001:003 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;
001:004 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:
001:005 On this side Jordan, in the land of
Moab, began Moses to
declare
this law, saying,
001:006 The LORD our God spake unto us in
Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt
long enough
in this mount:
001:007 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.
001:008 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.
001:009 And I spake unto you at that time,
saying, I am not able to
bear
you myself alone:
001:010 The LORD your God hath multiplied you,
and, behold, ye are
this day as
the stars of
heaven for multitude.
001:011 (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!)
001:012 How can I myself alone bear your
cumbrance, and your burden,
and your strife?
001:013 Take you wise men, and understanding,
and known among your
tribes, and I
will make them
rulers over you.
001:014 And ye answered me, and said, The thing
which thou hast spoken
is good for
us to do.
001:015 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.
001:016 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.
001:017 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.
001:018 And I commanded you at that time all
the things which ye
should do.
001:019 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.
001:020 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto
the mountain of the
Amorites,
which the LORD our God doth
give unto us.
001:021 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.
001:022 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.
001:023 And the saying pleased me well: and I
took twelve men of you,
one
of a tribe:
001:024 And they turned and went up into the
mountain, and came unto
the valley
of Eshcol, and
searched it out.
001:025 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.
001:026 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but
rebelled against the
commandment of the
LORD your God:
001:027 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.
001:028 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.
001:029 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
001:030 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;
001:031 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.
001:032 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,
001:033 Who went in the way before you, to
search you out a place to
pitch
your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what
way
ye should go, and in a
cloud by day.
001:034 And the LORD heard the voice of your
words, and was wroth, and
sware, saying,
001:035 Surely there shall not one of these men
of this evil
generation see that
good land, which I sware to give unto
your
fathers.
001:036 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.
001:037 Also the LORD was angry with me for
your sakes, saying, Thou
also shalt not
go in thither.
001:038 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.
001:039 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.
001:040 But as for you, turn you, and take your
journey into the
wilderness by the way of
the Red sea.
001:041 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.
001:042 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.
001:043 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.
001:044 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.
001:045 And ye returned and wept before the
LORD; but the LORD would
not
hearken to your voice, nor give
ear unto you.
001:046 So ye abode in Kadesh many days,
according unto the days that
ye abode there.
002:001 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.
002:002 And the LORD spake unto me, saying,
002:003 Ye have compassed this mountain long
enough: turn you
northward.
002:004 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:
002:005 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.
002:006 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.
002:007 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.
002:008 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.
002:009 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.
002:010 The Emims dwelt therein in times past,
a people great, and
many, and tall,
as the Anakims;
002:011 Which also were accounted giants, as
the Anakims; but the
Moabites
called them Emims.
002:012 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.
002:013 Now rise up, said I, and get you over
the brook Zered. And we
went over
the brook Zered.
002:014 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.
002:015 For indeed the hand of the LORD was
against them, to destroy
them from
among the host, until
they were consumed.
002:016 So it came to pass, when all the men of
war were consumed and
dead from
among the people,
002:017 That the LORD spake unto me, saying,
002:018 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:
002:019 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.
002:020 (That also was accounted a land of
giants: giants dwelt
therein in
old time; and the Ammonites
call them Zamzummims;
002:021 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:
002:022 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:
002:023 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.)
002:024 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.
002:025 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.
002:026 And I sent messengers out of the
wilderness of Kedemoth unto
Sihon
king of Heshbon with words
of peace, saying,
002:027 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.
002:028 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;
002:029 (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.
002:030 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.
002:031 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.
002:032 Then Sihon came out against us, he and
all his people, to
fight at Jahaz.
002:033 And the LORD our God delivered him
before us; and we smote
him, and
his sons, and
all his people.
002:034 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:
002:035 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto
ourselves, and the
spoil of the cities
which we took.
002:036 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:
002:037 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.
003:001 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.
003:002 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.
003:003 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.
003:004 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.
003:005 All these cities were fenced with high
walls, gates, and bars;
beside unwalled towns
a great many.
003:006 And we utterly destroyed them, as we
did unto Sihon king of
Heshbon,
utterly destroying the men, women, and children,
of
every city.
003:007 But all the cattle, and the spoil of
the cities, we took for a
prey to ourselves.
003:008 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;
003:009 (Which Hermon the Sidonians call
Sirion; and the Amorites call
it Shenir;)
003:010 All the cities of the plain, and all
Gilead, and all Bashan,
unto
Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of
Og in Bashan.
003:011 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.
003:012 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.
003:013 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.
003:014 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.
003:015 And I gave Gilead unto Machir.
003:016 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;
003:017 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.
003:018 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.
003:019 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;
003:020 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.
003:021 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.
003:022 Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD
your God he shall fight
for you.
003:023 And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,
003:024 O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew 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?
003:025 I pray thee, let me go over, and see
the good land that is
beyond
Jordan, that goodly
mountain, and Lebanon.
003:026 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.
003:027 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.
003:028 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.
003:029 So we abode in the valley over against Bethpeor.
004:001 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.
004:002 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.
004:003 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.
004:004 But ye that did cleave unto the LORD
your God are alive every
one of
you this day.
004:005 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.
004:006 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.
004:007 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?
004:008 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?
004:009 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;
004:010 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.
004:011 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.
004:012 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.
004:013 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.
004:014 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.
004:015 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:
004:016 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make
you a graven image, the
similitude
of any figure, the likeness of
male or female,
004:017 The likeness of any beast that is on
the earth, the likeness
of any
winged fowl that flieth
in the air,
004:018 The likeness of any thing that creepeth
on the ground, the
likeness of any
fish that is in the waters
beneath the earth:
004:019 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.
004:020 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.
004:021 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:
004:022 But I must die in this land, I must not
go over Jordan: but ye
shall go
over, and possess
that good land.
004:023 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.
004:024 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
004:025 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:
004:026 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.
004:027 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.
004:028 And there ye shall serve gods, the work
of men's hands, wood
and stone,
which neither see, nor hear, nor
eat, nor smell.
004:029 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.
004:030 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;
004:031 (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.
004:032 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?
004:033 Did ever people hear the voice of God
speaking out of the
midst of the
fire, as thou hast
heard, and live?
004:034 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?
004:035 Unto thee it was shewed, that thou
mightest know that the LORD
he is
God; there is none
else beside him.
004:036 Out of heaven he made thee to hear his
voice, that he might
instruct
thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great
fire;
and thou heardest his words
out of the midst
of the fire.
004:037 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;
004:038 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.
004:039 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.
004:040 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.
004:041 Then Moses severed three cities on this
side Jordan toward the
sunrising;
004:042 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:
004:043 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.
004:044 And this is the law which Moses set
before the children of
Israel:
004:045 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.
004:046 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:
004:047 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 sunrising;
004:048 From Aroer, which is by the bank of the
river Arnon, even unto
mount Sion,
which is Hermon,
004:049 And all the plain on this side Jordan
eastward, even unto the
sea of the
plain, under the
springs of Pisgah.
005:001 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.
005:002 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
005:003 The LORD made not this covenant with
our fathers, but with us,
even us,
who are all of us here
alive this day.
005:004 The LORD talked with you face to face
in the mount out of the
midst
of the fire,
005:005 (I stood between the LORD and you at
that time, to shew you
the word of
the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of
the
fire, and went not up into
the mount;) saying,
005:006 I am the LORD thy God, which brought
thee out of the land of
Egypt, from the
house of bondage.
005:007 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
005:008 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:
005:009 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,
005:010 And shewing mercy unto thousands of
them that love me and keep
my commandments.
005:011 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.
005:012 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as
the LORD thy God hath
commanded thee.
005:013 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:
005:014 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.
005:015 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.
005:016 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.
005:017 Thou shalt not kill.
005:018 Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
005:019 Neither shalt thou steal.
005:020 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.
005:021 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.
005:022 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.
005:023 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;
005:024 And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God
hath shewed 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.
005:025 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.
005:026 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?
005:027 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.
005:028 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.
005:029 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!
005:030 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.
005:031 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.
005:032 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.
005:033 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.
006:001 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:
006:002 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.
006:003 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.
006:004 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
006:005 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God
with all thine heart, and
with all
thy soul, and with
all thy might.
006:006 And these words, which I command thee
this day, shall be in
thine heart:
006:007 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.
006:008 And thou shalt bind them for a sign
upon thine hand, and they
shall be as frontlets
between thine eyes.
006:009 And thou shalt write them upon the
posts of thy house, and on
thy gates.
006:010 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,
006:011 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;
006:012 Then beware lest thou forget the LORD,
which brought thee
forth out of
the land of Egypt, from the
house of bondage.
006:013 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and
serve him, and shalt
swear
by his name.
006:014 Ye shall not go after other gods, of
the gods of the people
which are
round about you;
006:015 (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.
006:016 Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God,
as ye tempted him in
Massah.
006:017 Ye shall diligently keep the
commandments of the LORD your
God,
and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he
hath
commanded thee.
006:018 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.
006:019 To cast out all thine enemies from
before thee, as the LORD
hath spoken.
006:020 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?
006:021 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:
006:022 And the LORD shewed signs and wonders,
great and sore, upon
Egypt, upon
Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before
our
eyes:
006:023 And he brought us out from thence, that
he might bring us in,
to give us
the land which he sware
unto our fathers.
006:024 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.
006:025 And it shall be our righteousness, if
we observe to do all
these
commandments before the LORD our God, as he
hath
commanded us.
007:001 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;
007:002 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 shew
mercy unto them:
007:003 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.
007:004 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.
007:005 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.
007:006 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.
007:007 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:
007:008 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.
007:009 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;
007:010 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.
007:011 Thou shalt therefore keep the
commandments, and the statutes,
and the judgments, which I command thee this day,
to do them.
007:012 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:
007:013 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.
007:014 Thou shalt be blessed above all people:
there shall not be
male or female
barren among you, or
among your cattle.
007:015 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.
007:016 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.
007:017 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These
nations are more than
I; how can
I dispossess them?
007:018 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but
shalt well remember what
the LORD
thy God did unto Pharaoh, and
unto all Egypt;
007:019 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.
007:020 Moreover the LORD thy God will send the
hornet among them,
until they that
are left, and hide themselves from thee,
be
destroyed.
007:021 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them:
for the LORD thy God is
among you, a mighty
God and terrible.
007:022 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.
007:023 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them
unto thee, and shall
destroy them
with a mighty destruction, until they
be
destroyed.
007:024 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.
007:025 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 therin: for it is an
abomination to the
LORD thy God.
007:026 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.
008:001 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.
008:002 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.
008:003 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.
008:004 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee,
neither did thy foot
swell,
these forty years.
008:005 Thou shalt also consider in thine
heart, that, as a man
chasteneth
his son, so the LORD thy
God chasteneth thee.
008:006 Therefore thou shalt keep the
commandments of the LORD thy
God,
to walk in his ways, and
to fear him.
008:007 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;
008:008 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines,
and fig trees, and
pomegranates; a
land of oil
olive, and honey;
008:009 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.
008:010 When thou hast eaten and art full, then
thou shalt bless the
LORD thy God
for the good land which he
hath given thee.
008:011 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:
008:012 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full,
and hast built goodly
houses,
and dwelt therein;
008:013 And when thy herds and thy flocks
multiply, and thy silver and
thy
gold is multiplied, and all that thou
hast is multiplied;
008:014 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;
008:015 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;
008:016 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;
008:017 And thou say in thine heart, My power
and the might of mine
hand hath gotten
me this wealth.
008:018 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.
008:019 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.
008:020 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.
009:001 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,
009:002 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!
009:003 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.
009:004 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.
009:005 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.
009:006 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.
009:007 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.
009:008 Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to
wrath, so that the LORD
was angry
with you to
have destroyed you.
009:009 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:
009:010 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.
009:011 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.
009:012 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.
009:013 Furthermore the LORD spake unto me,
saying, I have seen this
people, and,
behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
009:014 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.
009:015 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.
009:016 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.
009:017 And I took the two tables, and cast
them out of my two hands,
and brake them
before your eyes.
009:018 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.
009:019 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.
009:020 And the LORD was very angry with
Aaron to have destroyed him:
and I prayed for
Aaron also the same time.
009:021 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.
009:022 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at
Kibrothhattaavah, ye
provoked the
LORD to wrath.
009:023 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.
009:024 Ye have been rebellious against the
LORD from the day that I
knew you.
009:025 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.
009:026 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.
009:027 Remember thy servants, Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob; look not
unto the
stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness,
nor to their
sin:
009:028 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.
009:029 Yet they are thy people and thine
inheritance, which thou
broughtest out
by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out
arm.
010:001 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.
010:002 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.
010:003 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.
010:004 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.
010:005 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.
010:006 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.
010:007 From thence they journeyed unto
Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to
Jotbath, a land
of rivers of waters.
010:008 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.
010:009 Wherefore Levi hath no part nor
inheritance with his brethren;
the LORD is his
inheritance, according as the LORD thy God
promised him.
010:010 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.
010:011 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.
010:012 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,
010:013 To keep the commandments of the LORD,
and his statutes, which
I command thee
this day for thy good?
010:014 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of
heavens is the LORD's thy
God, the earth
also, with all that therein is.
010:015 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.
010:016 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of
your heart, and be no
more
stiffnecked.
010:017 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:
010:018 He doth execute the judgment of the
fatherless and widow, and
loveth the
stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
010:019 Love ye therefore the stranger: for
ye were strangers in the
land of Egypt.
010:020 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him
shalt thou serve, and to
him shalt thou
cleave, and swear by his name.
010:021 He is thy praise, and he is thy God,
that hath done for thee
these great and
terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.
010:022 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.
011:001 Therefore thou shalt love the LORD
thy God, and keep his
charge, and his
statutes, and his judgments, and his
commandments,
alway.
011:002 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,
011:003 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;
011:004 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;
011:005 And what he did unto you in the
wilderness, until ye came into
this place;
011:006 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:
011:007 But your eyes have seen all the great
acts of the LORD which
he did.
011:008 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;
011:009 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.
011:010 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:
011:011 But the land, whither ye go to
possess it, is a land of hills
and valleys, and
drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
011:012 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.
011:013 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,
011:014 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.
011:015 And I will send grass in thy fields
for thy cattle, that thou
mayest eat and
be full.
011:016 Take heed to yourselves, that your
heart be not deceived, and
ye turn aside,
and serve other gods, and worship them;
011:017 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.
011:018 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.
011:019 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.
011:020 And thou shalt write them upon the
door posts of thine house,
and upon thy
gates:
011:021 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.
011:022 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;
011:023 Then will the LORD drive out all
these nations from before
you, and ye
shall possess greater nations and mightier than
yourselves.
011:024 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.
011:025 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.
011:026 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
011:027 A blessing, if ye obey the
commandments of the LORD your God,
which I command
you this day:
011:028 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.
011:029 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.
011:030 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?
011:031 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.
011:032 And ye shall observe to do all the
statutes and judgments
which I set
before you this day.
012:001 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.
012:002 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:
012:003 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.
012:004 Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.
012:005 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:
012:006 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:
012:007 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.
012:008 Ye shall not do after all the things
that we do here this day,
every man
whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
012:009 For ye are not as yet come to the
rest and to the inheritance,
which the LORD
your God giveth you.
012:010 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;
012:011 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:
012:012 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.
012:013 Take heed to thyself that thou offer
not thy burnt offerings
in every place
that thou seest:
012:014 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.
012:015 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.
012:016 Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye
shall pour it upon the
earth as water.
012:017 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:
012:018 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.
012:019 Take heed to thyself that thou
forsake not the Levite as long
as thou livest
upon the earth.
012:020 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.
012:021 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.
012:022 Even as the roebuck and the hart is
eaten, so thou shalt eat
them: the
unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.
012:023 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.
012:024 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt
pour it upon the earth as
water.
012:025 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.
012:026 Only thy holy things which thou hast,
and thy vows, thou shalt
take, and go
unto the place which the LORD shall choose:
012:027 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.
012:028 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.
012:029 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;
012:030 Take heed to thyself that thou be not
snared by following
them, after that
they be destroyed from before thee; and that
thou enquire not
after their gods, saying, How did these
nations serve
their gods? even so will I do likewise.
012:031 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.
012:032 What thing soever I command you,
observe to do it: thou shalt
not add thereto,
nor diminish from it.
013:001 If there arise among you a prophet,
or a dreamer of dreams,
and giveth thee
a sign or a wonder,
013:002 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;
013:003 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.
013:004 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.
013:005 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.
013:006 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;
013:007 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;
013:008 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:
013:009 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.
013:010 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.
013:011 And all Israel shall hear, and fear,
and shall do no more any
such wickedness
as this is among you.
013:012 If thou shalt hear say in one of thy
cities, which the LORD
thy God hath
given thee to dwell there, saying,
013:013 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;
013:014 Then shalt thou enquire, and make
search, and ask diligently;
and, behold, if
it be truth, and the thing certain, that such
abomination is
wrought among you;
013:015 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.
013:016 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.
013:017 And there shall cleave nought of the
cursed thing to thine
hand: that the
LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger,
and shew thee
mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and
multiply thee,
as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;
013:018 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.
014:001 Ye are the children of the LORD your
God: ye shall not cut
yourselves, nor
make any baldness between your eyes for the
dead.
014:002 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.
014:003 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
014:004 These are the beasts which ye shall
eat: the ox, the sheep,
and the goat,
014:005 The hart, and the roebuck, and the
fallow deer, and the wild
goat, and the
pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
014:006 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.
014:007 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.
014:008 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.
014:009 These ye shall eat of all that are in
the waters: all that
have fins and
scales shall ye eat:
014:010 And whatsoever hath not fins and
scales ye may not eat; it is
unclean unto
you.
014:011 Of all clean birds ye shall eat.
014:012 But these are they of which ye shall
not eat: the eagle, and
the ossifrage,
and the ospray,
014:013 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
014:014 And every raven after his kind,
014:015 And the owl, and the night hawk, and
the cuckow, and the hawk
after his kind,
014:016 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
014:017 And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
014:018 And the stork, and the heron after
her kind, and the lapwing,
and the bat.
014:019 And every creeping thing that flieth
is unclean unto you: they
shall not be
eaten.
014:020 But of all clean fowls ye may eat.
014:021 Ye shall not eat of anything 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.
014:022 Thou shalt truly tithe all the
increase of thy seed, that the
field bringeth
forth year by year.
014:023 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.
014:024 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:
014:025 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:
014:026 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,
014:027 And the Levite that is within thy
gates; thou shalt not
forsake him; for
he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
014:028 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:
014:029 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.
015:001 At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.
015:002 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.
015:003 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it
again: but that which is
thine with thy
brother thine hand shall release;
015:004 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:
015:005 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.
015:006 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.
015:007 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:
015:008 But thou shalt open thine hand wide
unto him, and shalt surely
lend him
sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.
015:009 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.
015:010 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.
015:011 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.
015:012 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.
015:013 And when thou sendest him out free
from thee, thou shalt not
let him go away
empty:
015:014 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.
015:015 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.
015:016 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;
015:017 Then thou shalt take an aul, 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.
015:018 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.
015:019 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.
015:020 Thou shalt eat it before the LORD thy
God year by year in the
place which the
LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.
015:021 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.
015:022 Thou shalt eat it within thy gates:
the unclean and the clean
person shall eat
it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.
015:023 Only thou shalt not eat the blood
thereof; thou shalt pour it
upon the ground
as water.
016:001 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.
016:002 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.
016:003 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.
016:004 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.
016:005 Thou mayest not sacrifice the
passover within any of thy
gates, which the
LORD thy God giveth thee:
016:006 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.
016:007 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.
016:008 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.
016:009 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.
016:010 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:
016:011 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.
016:012 And thou shalt remember that thou
wast a bondman in Egypt: and
thou shalt
observe and do these statutes.
016:013 Thou shalt observe the feast of
tabernacles seven days, after
that thou hast
gathered in thy corn and thy wine:
016:014 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.
016:015 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.
016:016 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:
016:017 Every man shall give as he is able,
according to the blessing
of the LORD thy
God which he hath given thee.
016:018 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.
016:019 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.
016:020 That which is altogether just shalt
thou follow, that thou
mayest live, and
inherit the land which the LORD thy God
giveth thee.
016:021 Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of
any trees near unto the
altar of the
LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee.
016:022 Neither shalt thou set thee up any
image; which the LORD thy
God hateth.
017:001 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.
017:002 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,
017:003 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;
017:004 And it be told thee, and thou hast
heard of it, and enquired
diligently, and,
behold, it be true, and the thing certain,
that such
abomination is wrought in Israel:
017:005 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.
017:006 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.
017:007 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.
017:008 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;
017:009 And thou shalt come unto the priests
the Levites, and unto the
judge that shall
be in those days, and enquire; and they shall
shew thee the
sentence of judgment:
017:010 And thou shalt do according to the
sentence, which they of
that place which
the LORD shall choose shall shew thee; and
thou shalt
observe to do according to all that they inform
thee:
017:011 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
shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the
left.
017:012 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.
017:013 And all the people shall hear, and
fear, and do no more
presumptuously.
017:014 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;
017:015 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.
017:016 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.
017:017 Neither shall he multiply wives to
himself, that his heart
turn not away:
neither shall he greatly multiply to himself
silver and gold.
017:018 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:
017:019 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:
017:020 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.
018:001 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.
018:002 Therefore shall they have no
inheritance among their brethren:
the LORD is
their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
018:003 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.
018:004 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.
018:005 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.
018:006 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;
018:007 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.
018:008 They shall have like portions to eat,
beside that which cometh
of the sale of
his patrimony.
018:009 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.
018:010 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.
018:011 Or a charmer, or a consulter with
familiar spirits, or a
wizard, or a
necromancer.
018:012 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.
018:013 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
018:014 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.
018:015 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;
018:016 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.
018:017 And the LORD said unto me, They have
well spoken that which
they have
spoken.
018:018 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.
018:019 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.
018:020 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.
018:021 And if thou say in thine heart, How
shall we know the word
which the LORD
hath not spoken?
018:022 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.
019:001 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;
019:002 Thou shalt separate three cities for
thee in the midst of thy
land, which the
LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
019:003 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.
019:004 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;
019:005 As when a man goeth into the wood
with his neighbour to hew
wood, and his
hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe 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:
019:006 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.
019:007 Wherefore I command thee, saying,
Thou shalt separate three
cities for thee.
019:008 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;
019:009 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:
019:010 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.
019:011 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:
019:012 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.
019:013 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.
019:014 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.
019:015 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.
019:016 If a false witness rise up against
any man to testify against
him that which
is wrong;
019:017 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;
019:018 And the judges shall make diligent
inquisition: and, behold,
if the witness
be a false witness, and hath testified falsely
against his
brother;
019:019 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.
019:020 And those which remain shall hear,
and fear, and shall
henceforth
commit no more any such evil among you.
019:021 And thine eye shall not pity; but
life shall go for life, eye
for eye, tooth
for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
020:001 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.
020:002 And it shall be, when ye are come
nigh unto the battle, that
the priest shall
approach and speak unto the people,
020:003 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;
020:004 For the LORD your God is he that
goeth with you, to fight for
you against your
enemies, to save you.
020:005 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.
020:006 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.
020:007 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.
020:008 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.
020:009 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.
020:010 When thou comest nigh unto a city to
fight against it, then
proclaim peace
unto it.
020:011 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.
020:012 And if it will make no peace with
thee, but will make war
against thee,
then thou shalt besiege it:
020:013 And when the LORD thy God hath
delivered it into thine hands,
thou shalt smite
every male thereof with the edge of the
sword:
020:014 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.
020:015 Thus shalt thou do unto all the
cities which are very far off
from thee, which
are not of the cities of these nations.
020:016 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:
020:017 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:
020:018 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.
020:019 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 axe 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:
020:020 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.
021:001 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:
021:002 Then thy elders and thy judges shall
come forth, and they
shall measure
unto the cities which are round about him that
is slain:
021:003 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;
021:004 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:
021:005 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:
021:006 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:
021:007 And they shall answer and say, Our
hands have not shed this
blood, neither
have our eyes seen it.
021:008 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.
021:009 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.
021:010 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,
021:011 And seest among the captives a
beautiful woman, and hast a
desire unto her,
that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;
021:012 Then thou shalt bring her home to
thine house, and she shall
shave her head,
and pare her nails;
021:013 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.
021:014 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.
021:015 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:
021:016 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:
021:017 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.
021:018 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:
021:019 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;
021:020 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.
021:021 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.
021:022 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:
021:023 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.
022:001 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.
022:002 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.
022:003 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.
022:004 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.
022:005 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.
022:006 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:
022:007 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.
022:008 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.
022:009 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.
022:010 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
022:011 Thou shalt not wear a garment of
divers sorts, as of woollen
and linen
together.
022:012 Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the
four quarters of thy
vesture,
wherewith thou coverest thyself.
022:013 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,
022:014 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:
022:015 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:
022:016 And the damsel's father shall say
unto the elders, I gave my
daughter unto
this man to wife, and he hateth her;
022:017 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.
022:018 And the elders of that city shall
take that man and chastise
him;
022:019 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.
022:020 But if this thing be true, and the
tokens of virginity be not
found for the
damsel:
022:021 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.
022:022 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.
022:023 If a damsel that is a virgin be
betrothed unto an husband, and
a man find her
in the city, and lie with her;
022:024 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.
022:025 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.
022:026 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:
022:027 For he found her in the field, and
the betrothed damsel cried,
and there was
none to save her.
022:028 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;
022:029 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.
022:030 A man shall not take his father's
wife, nor discover his
father's skirt.
023:001 He that is wounded in the stones, or
hath his privy member cut
off, shall not
enter into the congregation of the LORD.
023:002 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.
023:003 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:
023:004 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.
023:005 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.
023:006 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor
their prosperity all thy
days for ever.
023:007 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.
023:008 The children that are begotten of
them shall enter into the
congregation of
the LORD in their third generation.
023:009 When the host goeth forth against
thine enemies, then keep
thee from every
wicked thing.
023:010 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:
023:011 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.
023:012 Thou shalt have a place also without
the camp, whither thou
shalt go forth
abroad:
023:013 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:
023:014 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.
023:015 Thou shalt not deliver unto his
master the servant which is
escaped from his
master unto thee:
023:016 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.
023:017 There shall be no whore of the
daughters of Israel, nor a
sodomite of the
sons of Israel.
023:018 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.
023:019 Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy
brother; usury of money,
usury of
victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:
023:020 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.
023:021 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.
023:022 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
023:023 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.
023:024 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.
023:025 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.
024:001 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.
024:002 And when she is departed out of his
house, she may go and be
another man's
wife.
024:003 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;
024:004 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.
024:005 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.
024:006 No man shall take the nether or the
upper millstone to pledge:
for he taketh a
man's life to pledge.
024:007 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.
024:008 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.
024:009 Remember what the LORD thy God did
unto Miriam by the way,
after that ye
were come forth out of Egypt.
024:010 When thou dost lend thy brother any
thing, thou shalt not go
into his house
to fetch his pledge.
024:011 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man
to whom thou dost lend
shall bring out
the pledge abroad unto thee.
024:012 And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:
024:013 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.
024:014 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:
024:015 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.
024:016 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.
024:017 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment
of the stranger, nor of
the fatherless;
nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:
024:018 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.
024:019 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.
024:020 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.
024:021 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.
024:022 And thou shalt remember that thou
wast a bondman in the land
of Egypt:
therefore I command thee to do this thing.
025:001 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.
025:002 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.
025:003 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.
025:004 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn.
025:005 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.
025:006 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.
025:007 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.
025:008 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;
025:009 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.
025:010 And his name shall be called in
Israel, The house of him that
hath his shoe
loosed.
025:011 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:
025:012 Then thou shalt cut off her hand,
thine eye shall not pity
her.
025:013 Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers
weights, a great and a
small.
025:014 Thou shalt not have in thine house
divers measures, a great
and a small.
025:015 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.
025:016 For all that do such things, and all
that do unrighteously,
are an
abomination unto the LORD thy God.
025:017 Remember what Amalek did unto thee by
the way, when ye were
come forth out
of Egypt;
025:018 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.
025:019 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.
026:001 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;
026:002 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.
026:003 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.
026:004 And the priest shall take the basket
out of thine hand, and
set it down
before the altar of the LORD thy God.
026:005 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:
026:006 And the Egyptians evil entreated us,
and afflicted us, and
laid upon us
hard bondage:
026:007 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:
026:008 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:
026:009 And he hath brought us into this
place, and hath given us this
land, even a
land that floweth with milk and honey.
026:010 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:
026:011 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.
026:012 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;
026:013 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.
026:014 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.
026:015 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.
026:016 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.
026:017 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:
026:018 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;
026:019 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.
027:001 And Moses with the elders of Israel
commanded the people,
saying, Keep all
the commandments which I command you this
day.
027:002 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 plaister them with plaister:
027:003 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.
027:004 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 plaister them with plaister.
027:005 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.
027:006 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:
027:007 And thou shalt offer peace offerings,
and shalt eat there, and
rejoice before
the LORD thy God.
027:008 And thou shalt write upon the stones
all the words of this law
very plainly.
027:009 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.
027:010 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice
of the LORD thy God, and
do his
commandments and his statutes, which I command thee
this day.
027:011 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,
027:012 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:
027:013 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal
to curse; Reuben, Gad,
and Asher, and
Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
027:014 And the Levites shall speak, and say
unto all the men of
Israel with a
loud voice,
027:015 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.
027:016 Cursed be he that setteth light by
his father or his mother.
And all the
people shall say, Amen.
027:017 Cursed be he that removeth his
neighbour's landmark. And all
the people shall
say, Amen.
027:018 Cursed be he that maketh the blind to
wander out of the way.
And all the
people shall say, Amen.
027:019 Cursed be he that perverteth the
judgment of the stranger,
fatherless, and
widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.
027:020 Cursed be he that lieth with his
father's wife; because he
uncovereth his
father's skirt. And all the people shall say,
Amen.
027:021 Cursed be he that lieth with any
manner of beast. And all the
people shall
say, Amen.
027:022 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.
027:023 Cursed be he that lieth with his
mother in law. And all the
people shall
say, Amen.
027:024 Cursed be he that smiteth his
neighbour secretly. And all the
people shall
say, Amen.
027:025 Cursed be he that taketh reward to
slay an innocent person.
And all the
people shall say, Amen.
027:026 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all
the words of this law to
do them. And all
the people shall say, Amen.
028:001 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:
028:002 And all these blessings shall come on
thee, and overtake thee,
if thou shalt
hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
028:003 Blessed shalt thou be in the city,
and blessed shalt thou be
in the field.
028:004 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.
028:005 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
028:006 Blessed shalt thou be when thou
comest in, and blessed shalt
thou be when
thou goest out.
028:007 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.
028:008 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.
028:009 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.
028:010 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.
028:011 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.
028:012 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.
028:013 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:
028:014 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.
028:015 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:
028:016 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and
cursed shalt thou be in
the field.
028:017 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
028:018 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.
028:019 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest
in, and cursed shalt
thou be when
thou goest out.
028:020 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.
028:021 The LORD shall make the pestilence
cleave unto thee, until he
have consumed
thee from off the land, whither thou goest to
possess it.
028:022 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.
028:023 And thy heaven that is over thy head
shall be brass, and the
earth that is
under thee shall be iron.
028:024 The LORD shall make the rain of thy
land powder and dust: from
heaven shall it
come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
028:025 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.
028:026 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.
028:027 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.
028:028 The LORD shall smite thee with
madness, and blindness, and
astonishment of
heart:
028:029 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.
028:030 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.
028:031 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.
028:032 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.
028:033 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:
028:034 So that thou shalt be mad for the
sight of thine eyes which
thou shalt see.
028:035 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.
028:036 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.
028:037 And thou shalt become an
astonishment, a proverb, and a
byword, among
all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
028:038 Thou shalt carry much seed out into
the field, and shalt
gather but
little in; for the locust shall consume it.
028:039 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress
them, but shalt neither
drink of the
wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall
eat them.
028:040 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.
028:041 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters,
but thou shalt not enjoy
them; for they
shall go into captivity.
028:042 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
028:043 The stranger that is within thee
shall get up above thee very
high; and thou
shalt come down very low.
028:044 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt
not lend to him: he
shall be the
head, and thou shalt be the tail.
028:045 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:
028:046 And they shall be upon thee for a
sign and for a wonder, and
upon thy seed
for ever.
028:047 Because thou servedst not the LORD
thy God with joyfulness,
and with
gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
028:048 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.
028:049 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;
028:050 A nation of fierce countenance, which
shall not regard the
person of the
old, nor shew favour to the young:
028:051 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.
028:052 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.
028:053 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:
028:054 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:
028:055 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.
028:056 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,
028:057 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.
028:058 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;
028:059 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.
028:060 Moreover he will bring upon thee all
the diseases of Egypt,
which thou wast
afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
028:061 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.
028:062 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.
028:063 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.
028:064 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.
028:065 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:
028:066 And thy life shall hang in doubt
before thee; and thou shalt
fear day and
night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:
028:067 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.
028:068 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.
029:001 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.
029:002 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;
029:003 The great temptations which thine
eyes have seen, the signs,
and those great
miracles:
029:004 Yet the LORD hath not given you an
heart to perceive, and eyes
to see, and ears
to hear, unto this day.
029:005 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.
029:006 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have
ye drunk wine or strong
drink: that ye
might know that I am the LORD your God.
029:007 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:
029:008 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.
029:009 Keep therefore the words of this
covenant, and do them, that
ye may prosper
in all that ye do.
029:010 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,
029:011 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:
029:012 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:
029:013 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.
029:014 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
029:015 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:
029:016 (For ye know how we have dwelt in the
land of Egypt; and how
we came through
the nations which ye passed by;
029:017 And ye have seen their abominations,
and their idols, wood and
stone, silver
and gold, which were among them:)
029:018 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;
029:019 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:
029:020 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.
029:021 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:
029:022 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;
029:023 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:
029:024 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore
hath the LORD done thus
unto this land?
what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
029:025 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:
029:026 For they went and served other gods,
and worshipped them, gods
whom they knew
not, and whom he had not given unto them:
029:027 And the anger of the LORD was kindled
against this land, to
bring upon it
all the curses that are written in this book:
029:028 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.
029:029 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.
030:001 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,
030:002 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;
030:003 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.
030:004 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:
030:005 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.
030:006 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.
030:007 And the LORD thy God will put all
these curses upon thine
enemies, and on
them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.
030:008 And thou shalt return and obey the
voice of the LORD, and do
all his
commandments which I command thee this day.
030:009 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:
030:010 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.
030:011 For this commandment which I command
thee this day, it is not
hidden from
thee, neither is it far off.
030:012 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?
030:013 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?
030:014 But the word is very nigh unto thee,
in thy mouth, and in thy
heart, that thou
mayest do it.
030:015 See, I have set before thee this day
life and good, and death
and evil;
030:016 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.
030:017 But if thine heart turn away, so that
thou wilt not hear, but
shalt be drawn
away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
030:018 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.
030:019 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:
030:020 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.
031:001 And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel.
031:002 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.
031:003 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.
031:004 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.
031:005 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.
031:006 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.
031:007 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.
031:008 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.
031:009 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.
031:010 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,
031:011 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.
031:012 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:
031:013 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.
031:014 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.
031:015 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.
031:016 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.
031:017 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?
031:018 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.
031:019 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.
031:020 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.
031:021 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.
031:022 Moses therefore wrote this song the
same day, and taught it
the children of
Israel.
031:023 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.
031:024 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,
031:025 That Moses commanded the Levites,
which bare the ark of the
covenant of the
LORD, saying,
031:026 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.
031:027 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?
031:028 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.
031:029 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.
031:030 And Moses spake in the ears of all
the congregation of Israel
the words of
this song, until they were ended.
032:001 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will
speak; and hear, O earth,
the words of my
mouth.
032:002 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:
032:003 Because I will publish the name of
the LORD: ascribe ye
greatness unto
our God.
032:004 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.
032:005 They have corrupted themselves, their
spot is not the spot of
his children:
they are a perverse and crooked generation.
032:006 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?
032:007 Remember the days of old, consider
the years of many
generations: ask
thy father, and he will shew thee; thy
elders, and they
will tell thee.
032:008 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.
032:009 For the LORD's portion is his people;
Jacob is the lot of his
inheritance.
032:010 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.
032:011 As an eagle stirreth up her nest,
fluttereth over her young,
spreadeth abroad
her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her
wings:
032:012 So the LORD alone did lead him, and
there was no strange god
with him.
032:013 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;
032:014 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.
032:015 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.
032:016 They provoked him to jealousy with
strange gods, with
abominations
provoked they him to anger.
032:017 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.
032:018 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art
unmindful, and hast
forgotten God
that formed thee.
032:019 And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred
them, because of the
provoking of his
sons, and of his daughters.
032:020 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.
032:021 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.
032:022 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.
032:023 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I
will spend mine arrows upon
them.
032:024 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.
032:025 The sword without, and terror within,
shall destroy both the
young man and
the virgin, the suckling also with the man of
gray hairs.
032:026 I said, I would scatter them into
corners, I would make the
remembrance of
them to cease from among men:
032:027 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.
032:028 For they are a nation void of
counsel, neither is there any
understanding in
them.
032:029 O that they were wise, that they
understood this, that they
would consider
their latter end!
032:030 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?
032:031 For their rock is not as our Rock,
even our enemies themselves
being judges.
032:032 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:
032:033 Their wine is the poison of dragons,
and the cruel venom of
asps.
032:034 Is not this laid up in store with me,
and sealed up among my
treasures?
032:035 To me belongeth vengeance and
recompence; 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.
032:036 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.
032:037 And he shall say, Where are their
gods, their rock in whom
they trusted,
032:038 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.
032:039 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.
032:040 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
032:041 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.
032:042 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 revenges upon the enemy.
032:043 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.
032:044 And Moses came and spake all the
words of this song in the
ears of the
people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
032:045 And Moses made an end of speaking all
these words to all
Israel:
032:046 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.
032:047 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.
032:048 And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,
032:049 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:
032:050 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:
032:051 Because ye trespassed against me
among the children of Israel
at the waters of
MeribahKadesh, in the wilderness of Zin;
because ye
sanctified me not in the midst of the children of
Israel.
032:052 Yet thou shalt see the land before
thee; but thou shalt not go
thither unto the
land which I give the children of Israel.
033:001 And this is the blessing, wherewith
Moses the man of God
blessed the
children of Israel before his death.
033:002 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.
033:003 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.
033:004 Moses commanded us a law, even the
inheritance of the
congregation of
Jacob.
033:005 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the
heads of the people and
the tribes of
Israel were gathered together.
033:006 Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few.
033:007 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.
033:008 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;
033:009 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.
033:010 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments,
and Israel thy law: they
shall put
incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon
thine altar.
033:011 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.
033:012 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.
033:013 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,
033:014 And for the precious fruits brought
forth by the sun, and for
the precious
things put forth by the moon,
033:015 And for the chief things of the
ancient mountains, and for the
precious things
of the lasting hills,
033:016 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.
033:017 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.
033:018 And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice,
Zebulun, in thy going out;
and, Issachar,
in thy tents.
033:019 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.
033:020 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.
033:021 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.
033:022 And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's
whelp: he shall leap from
Bashan.
033:023 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.
033:024 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.
033:025 Thy shoes shall be iron and brass;
and as thy days, so shall
thy strength be.
033:026 There is none like unto the God of
Jeshurun, who rideth upon
the heaven in
thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
033:027 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.
033:028 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.
033:029 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.
034:001 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 shewed
him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,
034:002 And all Naphtali, and the land of
Ephraim, and Manasseh, and
all the land of
Judah, unto the utmost sea,
034:003 And the south, and the plain of the
valley of Jericho, the
city of palm
trees, unto Zoar.
034:004 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.
034:005 So Moses the servant of the LORD died
there in the land of
Moab, according
to the word of the LORD.
034:006 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.
034:007 And Moses was an hundred and twenty
years old when he died:
his eye was not
dim, nor his natural force abated.
034:008 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.
034:009 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.
034:010 And there arose not a prophet since
in Israel like unto Moses,
whom the LORD
knew face to face,
034:011 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,
034:012 And in all that mighty hand, and in
all the great terror which
Moses shewed in
the sight of all Israel.
