| 1:1 |
These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel onbeyond this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plainArabah over against the Red seaSuph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and DizahabDi zahab. |
| 1:2 |
ThereIt areis eleven days journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto KadeshbarneaKadesh barnea. |
| 1:4 |
Afterafter he had slainsmitten Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt atin AstarothAshtaroth, inat Edrei: |
| 1:5 |
Onbeyond this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, |
| 1:6 |
The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mountmountain: |
| 1:7 |
Turnturn you, and take your journey, and go to the mounthill country of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plainArabah, in the hillshill country, and in the valelowland, and in the southSouth, and by the sea sideshore, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, untoas far as the great river, the river Euphrates. |
| 1:8 |
Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them. |
| 1:11 |
The Lord, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you! |
| 1:13 |
Take you wise men, and understanding, and known, amongaccording to your tribes, and I will make them rulersheads over you. |
| 1:15 |
So I took the chiefheads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains overof thousands, and captains overof hundreds, and captains overof fifties, and captains overof tens, and officers, amongaccording to your tribes. |
| 1:16 |
And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between everya man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him. |
| 1:17 |
Ye shall not respect persons in judgmentjudgement; but ye shall hear the small asand well as the great alike; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgmentjudgement is Gods: and the cause that is too hard for you, ye shall bring it unto me, and I will hear it. |
| 1:19 |
And when we departedjourneyed from Horeb, weand went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw, by the way ofto the mountainhill country of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded us; and we came to KadeshbarneaKadesh barnea. |
| 1:20 |
And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountainhill country of the Amorites, which the Lord our God dothgiveth give unto us. |
| 1:21 |
Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the land before thee: go up, andtake possess itpossession, as the Lord, the God of thy fathers, hath saidspoken unto thee; fear not, neither be discourageddismayed. |
| 1:22 |
And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, WeLet willus send men before us, andthat they shallmay search usthe outland thefor landus, and bring us word again byof whatthe way by which we must go up, and intothe what cities unto which we shall come. |
| 1:23 |
And the sayingthing pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one ofman afor every tribe: |
| 1:24 |
Andand they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searchedspied it out. |
| 1:25 |
And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the Lord our God dothgiveth giveunto us. |
| 1:26 |
NotwithstandingYet ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God: |
| 1:27 |
Andand 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. |
| 1:28 |
Whither shallare we gogoing up? our brethren have discouragedmade our heart to melt, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walledfenced up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the AnakimsAnakim there. |
| 1:30 |
The Lord your God whichwho goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes; |
| 1:31 |
Andand 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 intounto this place. |
| 1:33 |
Whowho went before you in the way before you, to searchseek you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in athe cloud by day. |
| 1:35 |
Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see thatthe good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers., |
| 1:36 |
Savesave 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. |
| 1:37 |
Also the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.: |
| 1:38 |
But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage thou him:; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. |
| 1:39 |
Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which inthis that day hadhave no knowledge betweenof good andor evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it. |
| 1:40 |
But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way ofto the Red seaSea. |
| 1:41 |
Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the Lord, we will go up and fight, according to all that the Lord our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, yeand were readyforward to go up into the hillmountain. |
| 1:42 |
And the Lord said unto me, Say unto them., Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies. |
| 1:43 |
So I spake unto you;, and ye wouldhearkened not; hear, but ye rebelled against the commandment of the Lord, and were presumptuous, and went presumptuously up into the hillmountain. |
| 1:44 |
And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyedbeat you down in Seir, even unto Hormah. |
| 1:45 |
And ye returned and wept before the Lord; but the Lord wouldhearkened not hearken to your voice, nor givegave ear unto you. |
| 2:1 |
Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way ofto the Red seaSea, as the Lord spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days. |
| 2:4 |
And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coastborder 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: |
| 2:5 |
Meddlecontend not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as afor the sole of the foot breadth;to tread on: because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession. |
| 2:6 |
Ye shall buypurchase meatfood of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink. |
| 2:7 |
For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all the workswork of thy hand: he knowethhath known thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the Lord thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing. |
| 2:8 |
AndSo when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dweltdwell in Seir, throughfrom the way of the plainArabah from Elath, and from Eziongaber,Ezion geber. And we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab. |
| 2:9 |
And the Lord said unto me, DistressVex not the MoabitesMoab, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of theirhis land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession. |
| 2:10 |
The EmimsEmim dwelt therein in times pastaforetime, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;Anakim: |
| 2:11 |
Whichthese also wereare accounted giantsRephaim, as the AnakimsAnakim; but the Moabites calledcall them EmimsEmim. |
| 2:12 |
The HorimsHorites also dwelt in Seir beforetime;aforetime, but the children of Esau succeeded them,; whenand 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. |
| 2:13 |
Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered. |
| 2:14 |
And the spacedays in which we came from KadeshbarneaKadesh barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, waswere thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wastedconsumed out from amongthe midst of the hostcamp, as the Lord sware unto them. |
| 2:15 |
ForMoreover indeed the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from amongthe midst of the hostcamp, until they were consumed. |
| 2:17 |
Thatthat the Lord spake unto me, saying, |
| 2:18 |
Thou art this day to pass over through Ar, the coastborder of Moab, this day: |
| 2:19 |
Andand when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distressvex them not, nor meddlecontend with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon anyfor a possession;: because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession. |
| 2:20 |
That also wasis accounted a land of giantsRephaim: giantsRephaim dwelt therein in old timeaforetime; andbut the Ammonites call them ZamzummimsZamzummim; |
| 2:21 |
Aa people great, and many, and tall, as the AnakimsAnakim; but the Lord destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead: |
| 2:22 |
Asas he did tofor the children of Esau, which dweltdwell in Seir, when he destroyed the HorimsHorites from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day: |
| 2:23 |
Andand the AvimsAvvim which dwelt in Hazerim,villages evenas untofar Azzahas Gaza, the CaphtorimsCaphtorim, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead. |
| 2:24 |
Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the rivervalley of 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. |
| 2:25 |
This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nationspeoples that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee. |
| 2:27 |
Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high wayhighway, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left. |
| 2:28 |
Thou shalt sell me meatfood for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only Ilet willme pass through on my feet; |
| 2:29 |
Asas 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. |
| 2:30 |
But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the Lord thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appearethat this day. |
| 2:31 |
And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have begun to givedeliver up Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land. |
| 2:32 |
Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, tounto fightbattle at Jahaz. |
| 2:33 |
And the Lord our God delivered him up before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people. |
| 2:34 |
And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed theevery meninhabited city, andwith the women, and the little ones,; of every city, we left none to remainremaining: |
| 2:35 |
Onlyonly the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, andwith the spoil of the cities which we tookhad taken. |
| 2:36 |
From Aroer, which is byon the brinkedge of the rivervalley of Arnon, and from the city that is byin the rivervalley, even unto Gilead, there was not onea city too stronghigh for us: the Lord our God delivered up all untobefore us: |
| 2:37 |
Onlyonly untoto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nornear; untoall anythe placeside of the river Jabbok, norand unto the cities inof the mountainshill country, norand untowheresoever whatsoever the Lord our God forbadforbade us. |
| 3:1 |
Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, tounto battle at Edrei. |
| 3:2 |
And the Lord said unto me, Fear him not: for I willhave deliverdelivered 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. |
| 3:3 |
So the Lord our God delivered into our handshand Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining. |
| 3:4 |
And we took all his cities at that time,; there was not a city which we took not from them,; threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. |
| 3:5 |
All these were cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside the unwalled towns a great many. |
| 3:6 |
And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying theevery meninhabited city, with the women, and children,the oflittle every cityones. |
| 3:7 |
But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey tounto ourselves. |
| 3:8 |
And we took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that waswere onbeyond this side Jordan, from the rivervalley of Arnon unto mount Hermon; |
| 3:9 |
Whichwhich Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion;, and the Amorites call it ShenirSenir; |
| 3:10 |
Allall the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto SalchahSalecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. |
| 3:11 |
For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giantsthe Rephaim; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in RabbathRabbah of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man. |
| 3:12 |
And this land, which we possessedtook in possession at that time,: from Aroer, which is by the rivervalley of Arnon, and half mountthe hill country of Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.: |
| 3:13 |
Andand 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, witheven all Bashan,. whichThe wassame is called the land of giantsRephaim. |
| 3:14 |
Jair the son of Manasseh took all the countryregion of Argob, unto the coastsborder of Geshurithe Geshurites and Maachathithe Maacathites; and called them, even Bashan, after his own name, BashanhavothjairHavvoth jair, unto this day. |
| 3:16 |
And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the rivervalley of Arnon, halfthe middle of the valley, and the border thereof; even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon; |
| 3:17 |
Thethe plainArabah also, and Jordan, and the coastborder thereof, from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plainArabah, even the saltSalt seaSea, under Ashdothpisgahthe slopes of Pisgah eastward. |
| 3:18 |
And I commanded you at that time, saying, The Lord your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all thatthe aremen meetof for the warvalour. |
| 3:19 |
But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, for I know that ye have much cattle, shall abide in your cities which I have given you; |
| 3:20 |
Untiluntil the Lord havegive given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and until they also possess the land which the Lord your God hathgiveth given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given you. |
| 3:21 |
And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the Lord your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the Lord do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passestgoest over. |
| 3:22 |
Ye shall not fear them: for the Lord your God, he shallit fightis that fighteth for you. |
| 3:24 |
O Lord God,GOD thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mightystrong hand: for what Godgod is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy mightmighty acts? |
| 3:25 |
ILet pray thee, let me go over, I pray thee, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon. |
| 3:26 |
But the Lord was wroth with me for your sakes, and wouldhearkened not hearunto me: and the Lord said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter. |
| 3:27 |
Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan. |
| 3:29 |
So we abode in the valley over against BethpeorBeth peor. |
| 4:1 |
NowAnd therefore hearkennow, O Israel, hearken unto the statutes and unto the judgmentsjudgements, which I teach you, for to do them,; that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, giveth you. |
| 4:2 |
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. |
| 4:3 |
Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of BaalpeorBaal peor: for all the men that followed BaalpeorBaal peor, the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from amongthe youmidst of thee. |
| 4:5 |
Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgmentsjudgements, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the midst of the land whither ye go in to possess it. |
| 4:6 |
Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nationspeoples, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. |
| 4:7 |
For what great nation is there so great, whothat hath Goda god so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is inwhensoever all things that we call upon him for? |
| 4:8 |
And what great nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgmentsjudgements so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day? |
| 4:9 |
Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seensaw, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life:; but teachmake them known unto thy sons,children and thy sonschildrens sonschildren; |
| 4:10 |
Specially the day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord said unto me, GatherAssemble 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. |
| 4:11 |
And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midstheart of heaven, with darkness, cloudscloud, and thick darkness. |
| 4:12 |
And the Lord spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but ye saw no similitudeform; only ye heard a voice. |
| 4:13 |
And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone. |
| 4:14 |
And the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgmentsjudgements, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it. |
| 4:15 |
Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitudeform on the day that the Lord spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire: |
| 4:16 |
Lestlest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, in the similitudeform of any figure, the likeness of male or female, |
| 4:17 |
Thethe likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the airheaven, |
| 4:18 |
Thethe likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waterswater beneathunder the earth: |
| 4:19 |
Andand 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, shouldestthou be drivendrawn toaway and worship them, and serve them, which the Lord thy God hath divided unto all nationsthe peoples under the whole heaven. |
| 4:20 |
But the Lord hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as yeat are this day. |
| 4:22 |
Butbut I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land. |
| 4:23 |
Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the Lord your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, orin the likenessform of any thing, which the Lord thy God hath forbidden thee. |
| 4:24 |
For the Lord thy God is a consumingdevouring fire, even a jealous God. |
| 4:25 |
When thou shalt beget children, and childrens children, and ye shall have remainedbeen long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, orin the likenessform of any thing, and shall do that which is evil in the sight of the Lord thy God, to provoke him to anger: |
| 4:27 |
And the Lord shall scatter you among the nationspeoples, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathennations, whither the Lord shall lead you away. |
| 4:29 |
But if from thence thouye shaltshall seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seeksearch after him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. |
| 4:30 |
When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turnshalt return to the Lord thy God, and shalthearken be obedient unto his voice;: |
| 4:31 |
Forfor the Lord thy God is a merciful God; he will not forsakefail thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. |
| 4:32 |
For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one sideend of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it? |
| 4:36 |
Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewedmade thee to see his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire. |
| 4:37 |
And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out inwith his sightpresence, with his mightygreat power, out of Egypt; |
| 4:38 |
Toto 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 itat is this day. |
| 4:39 |
Know therefore this day, and considerlay it into thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else. |
| 4:40 |
ThouAnd 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 earthland, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, for ever. |
| 4:41 |
Then Moses severedseparated three cities onbeyond this side Jordan toward the sunrising; |
| 4:42 |
Thatthat the slayermanslayer might flee thither, which shouldslayeth kill his neighbour unawares, and hated him not in timestime past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live: |
| 4:43 |
Namelynamely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, offor the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, offor the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, offor the Manassites. |
| 4:45 |
Thesethese are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgmentsjudgements, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, afterwhen they came forth out of Egypt.; |
| 4:46 |
Onbeyond this side Jordan, in the valley over against BethpeorBeth peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, afterwhen they werecame come forth out of Egypt: |
| 4:47 |
Andand they possessedtook his land in possession, and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, which were onbeyond this side Jordan toward the sunrising; |
| 4:48 |
Fromfrom Aroer, which is byon the bankedge of the rivervalley of Arnon, even unto mount Sion, whichthe same is Hermon, |
| 4:49 |
Andand all the plainArabah onbeyond this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plainArabah, under the springsslopes of Pisgah. |
| 5:1 |
And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgmentsthe judgements which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep,observe andto do them. |
| 5:4 |
The Lord talkedspake with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire, |
| 5:5 |
I stood between the Lord and you at that time, to shew you the word of the Lord: for ye were afraid bybecause reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount; saying, |
| 5:6 |
I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, fromout of the house of bondage. |
| 5:8 |
Thou shalt not make unto thee anya graven image, orthe any likeness of any thingform that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waterswater beneathunder the earth: |
| 5:9 |
Thouthou 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, untoand upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me,; |
| 5:10 |
Andand shewing mercy unto thousands, of them that love me and keep my commandments. |
| 5:12 |
KeepObserve the sabbath day, to sanctifykeep it holy, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee. |
| 5:13 |
Six days shalt thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: |
| 5:14 |
Butbut the seventh day is thea sabbath ofunto 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. |
| 5:15 |
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence throughby a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day. |
| 5:16 |
Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee;: that thy days may be prolongedlong, and that it may go well with thee, inupon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. |
| 5:17 |
Thou shalt notdo killno murder. |
| 5:21 |
Neither shalt thou desirecovet thy neighbours wife,; neither shalt thou covetdesire thy neighbours house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbours. |
| 5:22 |
These words the Lord spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them inupon two tables of stone, and deliveredgave them unto me. |
| 5:23 |
And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, forwhile the mountain did burn with fire, that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders; |
| 5:24 |
Andand 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 talkspeak with man, and he liveth. |
| 5:29 |
OOh 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! |
| 5:30 |

Thenthen thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaohs bondmen in Egypt; and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand: |
| 6:22 |
Andand the Lord shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his householdhouse, before our eyes: |
| 6:23 |
Andand he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers. |

| 7:3 |
Neitherneither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. |
| 7:4 |
For theyhe 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 he will destroy thee suddenlyquickly. |

But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroybreak down their altars, and breakdash downin pieces their imagespillars, and cuthew down their grovesAsherim, and burn their graven images with fire. |

For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a specialpeculiar people unto himself, above all peoplepeoples that are upon the face of the earth. |
| 7:7 |
The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all peoplepeoples: |
| 7:8 |
Butbut because the Lord lovedloveth you, and because he would keep the oath which he hadsware sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmenbondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. |
| 7:9 |

Thouthou shalt not be afraid of them: butthou shalt well remember what the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt; |
| 7:19 |
Thethe 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 peoplepeoples of whom thou art afraid. |

Whowho led thee through thatthe great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought,thirsty ground where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint; |
| 8:16 |
Whowho 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;: |
| 8:17 |
Andand thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. |
| 8:18 |
But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God:, for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth,; that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as itat is this day. |

| 9:5 |
Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go in 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 performestablish the word which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. |
| 9:6 |
UnderstandKnow therefore, that the Lord thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people. |

| 9:8 |
Also in Horeb ye provoked the Lord to wrath, soand that the Lord was angry with you to have destroyed you. |

| 9:14 |
Letlet 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. |
| 9:16 |
And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the Lord your God,; andye had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the Lord had commanded you. |
| 9:17 |
And I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes. |
| 9:18 |
And I fell down before the Lord, as at the first, forty days and forty nights:; I did neither eat bread, nor drink water,; because of all your sinssin which ye sinned, in doing wickedlythat which was evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger. |
| 9:19 |
For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the Lord was wroth against you to destroy you. But the Lord hearkened unto me at that time also. |
| 9:21 |
And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, andgrinding ground it very small, even until it was as smallfine as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount. |

And I prayed therefore unto the Lord, and said, O Lord God,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. |
| 9:28 |
Lestlest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the Lord was not able to bring them into the land which he promised unto them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness. |
| 9:29 |
Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mightygreat power and by thy stretched out arm. |
| 10:2 |
And I will write on the tables the words that were inon the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark. |
| 10:3 |
AndSo I made an ark of shittimacacia wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand. |

| 10:11 |
And the Lord said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people,; thatand they mayshall go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them. |

And this is the case of the slayermanslayer, which shall flee thither, thatand he may live: Whosowhoso killeth his neighbour ignorantlyunawares, whomand he hated him not in time past; |
| 19:5 |
Asas when a man goeth into the woodforest 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 thosethese cities, and live: |
| 19:6 |
Lestlest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayermanslayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slaysmite him mortally; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past. |
| 19:8 |
And if the Lord thy God enlarge thy coastborder, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers; |
| 19:9 |
Ifif thou shalt keep all thesethis commandmentscommandment to do themit, 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: |
| 19:10 |
Thatthat innocent blood be not shed in the midst of thy land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee. |
| 19:11 |
But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die,; and fleethhe flee into one of these cities: |
| 19:12 |
Thenthen 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. |
| 19:13 |
Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee. |

| 19:16 |
If aan falseunrighteous witness rise up against any man to testify against him thatof whichwrong is wrongdoing; |
| 19:17 |
Thenthen 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; |
| 19:18 |
Andand the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother; |
| 19:19 |
Thenthen shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to havedo done unto his brother: so shalt thou put away the evil away from amongthe youmidst of thee. |
| 19:20 |
And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil amongin youthe midst of thee. |
| 19:21 |
And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. |
| 20:1 |
When thou goest outforth to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, bethou shalt not be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. |
| 20:2 |
And it shall be, when ye aredraw come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people, |
| 20:3 |
Andand shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approachdraw nigh this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your heartsheart faint,; fear not, andnor do not tremble, neither be ye terrifiedaffrighted becauseat of them; |
| 20:4 |
Forfor the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. |
| 20:6 |
And what man is hethere that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yetused eatenthe offruit itthereof? let him also go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eatuse ofthe itfruit thereof. |
| 20:8 |
And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethrens heart faintmelt as well as his heart. |
| 20:9 |
And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, that they shall makeappoint captains of hosts at the armieshead toof lead the people. |
| 20:10 |
When thou comestdrawest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it. |
| 20:11 |
And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall bebecome tributariestributary unto thee, and they shall serve thee. |
| 20:13 |
Andand when the Lord thy God hathdelivereth delivered it into thine handshand, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: |
| 20:14 |
Butbut the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take for a prey unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the Lord thy God hath given thee. |
| 20:16 |
But of the cities of these peoplepeoples, which the Lord thy God dothgiveth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth: |
| 20:17 |
Butbut thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the HittitesHittite, and the AmoritesAmorite, the CanaanitesCanaanite, and the PerizzitesPerizzite, the HivitesHivite, and the JebusitesJebusite; as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee: |
| 20:18 |

| 31:17 |
Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befallcome upon them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us? |

| 31:30 |

SoThe the Lord alone did lead him, andAnd there was no strange god with him. |
| 32:13 |
He made him ride on the high places of the earth, thatAnd he mightdid eat the increase of the fieldsfield; andAnd he made him to suck honey out of the rock, andAnd oil out of the flinty rock; |
| 32:14 |
Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, withWith fat of lambs, andAnd rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, withWith the fat of kidneys of wheat; andAnd thouof didst drink the pure blood of the grape thou drankest wine. |

But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thouThou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art coveredbecome withsleek: fatness;Then then he forsook God which made him, andAnd lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. |

They provokedmoved him to jealousy with strange gods, withWith abominations provoked they him to anger. |
| 32:17 |
They sacrificed unto devilsdemons, notwhich towere no God;, toTo gods whom they knew not, toTo new gods that came newlyup upof late, whomWhom your fathers feareddreaded not. |
| 32:18 |
Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, andAnd hast forgotten God that formedgave thee birth. |
| 32:19 |
And when the Lord saw it, heand abhorred them, becauseBecause of the provokingprovocation of his sons, and of his daughters. |
| 32:20 |
And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: forFor they are a very froward generation, childrenChildren in whom is no faith. |
| 32:21 |
They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; theyThey have provoked me to anger with their vanities: andAnd I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. |
| 32:22 |
For a fire is kindled in mine anger, andAnd shallburneth burn unto the lowest hellpit, andAnd shalldevoureth consume the earth with her increase, andAnd setsetteth on fire the foundations of the mountains. |

| 32:31 |
For their rock is not as our Rock, evenEven our enemies themselves being judges. |
| 32:32 |
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, andAnd of the fields of Gomorrah: theirTheir grapes are grapes of gall, theirTheir clusters are bitter: |
| 32:33 |
Their wine is the poison of dragons, andAnd the cruel venom of asps. |

| 32:40 |
For I lift up my hand to heaven, andAnd say, As I live for ever., |
| 32:41 |

| 32:50 |
Andand 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: |
| 32:51 |
Becausebecause ye trespassed against me amongin the midst of the children of Israel at the waters of MeribahKadeshMeribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel. |
| 32:52 |
YetFor thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither untointo the land which I give the children of Israel. |
