+001:013 Take wise men of understanding and well known according + to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you. +001:014 You answered me, and said, The thing which you have spoken + is good [for us] to do. +001:015 So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, + and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains + of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, + and officers, according to your tribes. +001:016 I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [the causes] + between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man + and his brother, and the foreigner who is living with him. +001:017 You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small + and the great alike; you shall not be afraid of the face of man; + for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard + for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it. +001:018 I commanded you at that time all the things which you should do. +001:019 We traveled from Horeb, and went through all that great and + terrible wilderness which you saw, by the way to the hill + country of the Amorites, as Yahweh our God commanded us; + and we came to Kadesh Barnea. +001:020 I said to you, You are come to the hill country of the Amorites, + which Yahweh our God gives to us. +001:021 Behold, Yahweh your God has set the land before you: + go up, take possession, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, + has spoken to you; don't be afraid, neither be dismayed. +001:022 You came near to me everyone of you, and said, Let us send + men before us, that they may search the land for us, + and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, + and the cities to which we shall come. +001:023 The thing pleased me well; and I took twelve men of you, + one man for every tribe: +001:024 and they turned and went up into the hill country, and came + to the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out. +001:025 They took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought + it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, + It is a good land which Yahweh our God gives to us. +001:026 Yet you wouldn't go up, but rebelled against the commandment + of Yahweh your God: +001:027 and you murmured in your tents, and said, Because Yahweh + hated us, he has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, + to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us. +001:028 Where are we going up? our brothers have made our heart + to melt, saying, The people are greater and taller than we; + the cities are great and fortified up to the sky; and moreover + we have seen the sons of the Anakim there. +001:029 Then I said to you, Don't dread, neither be afraid of them. +001:030 Yahweh your God who goes before you, he will fight for you, + according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes, +001:031 and in the wilderness, where you have seen how that Yahweh + your God bore you, as a man does bear his son, in all the way + that you went, until you came to this place. +001:032 Yet in this thing you didn't believe Yahweh your God, +001:033 who went before you in the way, to seek you out a place to pitch + your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way you + should go, and in the cloud by day. +001:034 Yahweh heard the voice of your words, and was angry, + and swore, saying, +001:035 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation + see the good land, which I swore to give to your fathers, +001:036 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh: he shall see it; and to him + will I give the land that he has trodden on, and to his children, + because he has wholly followed Yahweh. +001:037 Also Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, saying, You also + shall not go in there: +001:038 Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall go in there: + encourage you him; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. +001:039 Moreover your little ones, whom you said should be a prey, + and your children, who this day have no knowledge of good + or evil, they shall go in there, and to 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 to the Red Sea{or, Sea of Reeds}. +001:041 Then you answered and said to me, We have sinned against Yahweh, + we will go up and fight, according to all that Yahweh our God + commanded us. You girded on every man his weapons of war, + and were forward to go up into the hill country. +001:042 Yahweh said to me, Tell them, Don't go up, neither fight; + for I am not among you; lest you be struck before your enemies. +001:043 So I spoke to you, and you didn't listen; but you rebelled + against the commandment of Yahweh, and were presumptuous, + and went up into the hill country. +001:044 The Amorites, who lived in that hill country, came out against you, + and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, + even to Hormah. +001:045 You returned and wept before Yahweh; but Yahweh didn't listen + to your voice, nor gave ear to you. +001:046 So you abode in Kadesh many days, according to the days + that you abode [there]. +002:001 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by + the way to the Red Sea{or, Sea of Reeds}, as Yahweh spoke to me; + and we compassed Mount Seir many days. +002:002 Yahweh spoke to me, saying, +002:003 You have compassed this mountain long enough: + turn you northward. +002:004 Command you the people, saying, You are to pass through + the border of your brothers the children of Esau, + who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you: + take good heed to yourselves therefore; +002:005 don't contend with them; for I will not give you of their land, + no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on; + because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for a possession. +002:006 You shall purchase food of them for money, that you may eat; + and you shall also buy water of them for money, that you may drink. +002:007 For Yahweh your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; + he has known your walking through this great wilderness: + these forty years Yahweh your God has been with you; + you have lacked nothing. +002:008 So we passed by from our brothers the children of Esau, who dwell + in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion Geber. + We turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab. +002:009 Yahweh said to me, Don't bother Moab, neither contend with them + in battle; for I will not give you of his land for a possession; + because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession. +002:010 (The Emim lived therein before, a people great, and many, + and tall, as the Anakim: +002:011 these also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites + call them Emim. +002:012 The Horites also lived in Seir before, but the children of Esau + succeeded them; and they destroyed them from before them, + and lived in their place; as Israel did to the land of + his possession, which Yahweh gave to them.) +002:013 Now rise up, and get you over the brook Zered. We went over + the brook Zered. +002:014 The days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea, until we + were come over the brook Zered, were thirty-eight years; + until all the generation of the men of war were consumed + from the midst of the camp, as Yahweh swore to them. +002:015 Moreover the hand of Yahweh was against them, to destroy them + from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed. +002:016 So it happened, when all the men of war were consumed and dead + from among the people, +002:017 that Yahweh spoke to me, saying, +002:018 You are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab: +002:019 and when you come near over against the children of Ammon, + don't bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give + you of the land of the children of Ammon for a possession; + because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession. +002:020 (That also is accounted a land of Rephaim: Rephaim lived + therein before; but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim, +002:021 a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim; + but Yahweh destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, + and lived in their place; +002:022 as he did for the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, + when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they + succeeded them, and lived in their place even to this day: +002:023 and the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, + the Caphtorim, who came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, + and lived in their place.) +002:024 Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon: + behold, I have given into your 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 you and the fear + of you on the peoples who are under the whole sky, who shall + hear the report of you, and shall tremble, and be in anguish + because of you. +002:026 I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon + king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, +002:027 Let me pass through your land: I will go along by the highway, + I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left. +002:028 You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me + water for money, that I may drink: only let me pass through + on my feet, +002:029 as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites + who dwell in Ar, did to me; until I shall pass over the Jordan + into the land which Yahweh our God gives us. +002:030 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; + for Yahweh your God hardened his spirit, and made his + heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, + as at this day. +002:031 Yahweh said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon + and his land before you: begin to possess, that you may + inherit his land. +002:032 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, + to battle at Jahaz. +002:033 Yahweh our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, + and his sons, and all his people. +002:034 We took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed + every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; + we left none remaining: +002:035 only the livestock we took for a prey to ourselves, + with the spoil of the cities which we had taken. +002:036 From Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, + and [from] the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, + there was not a city too high for us; Yahweh our God delivered + up all before us: +002:037 only to the land of the children of Ammon you didn't come near; + all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill country, + and wherever Yahweh our God forbade 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 Yahweh said to me, Don't fear him; for I have delivered him, + and all his people, and his land, into your hand; and you + shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, + who lived at Heshbon. +003:003 So Yahweh our God delivered into our hand Og also, the king + of Bashan, and all his people: and we struck him until none + was left to him remaining. +003:004 We took all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we + didn't take from them; sixty cities, all the region of Argob, + the kingdom of Og in Bashan. +003:005 All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars; + besides the unwalled towns a great many. +003:006 We utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, + utterly destroying every inhabited city, with the women + and the little ones. +003:007 But all the livestock, and the spoil of the cities, we took + for a prey to ourselves. +003:008 We took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings + of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the valley + of the Arnon to Mount Hermon; +003:009 ([which] Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion, and the Amorites + call it Senir;) +003:010 all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, + to Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. +003:011 (For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of + the Rephaim; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; + isn't it in Rabbah of the children of Ammon? nine cubits + was the length of it, and four cubits the breadth of it, + after the cubit of a man.) +003:012 This land we took in possession at that time: from Aroer, + which is by the valley of the Arnon, and half the hill country + of Gilead, and the cities of it, gave I to the Reubenites + and to the Gadites: +003:013 and the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, + gave I to the half-tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, + even all Bashan. (The same is called the land of Rephaim. +003:014 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, + to the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, + and called them, even Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth Jair, + to this day.) +003:015 I gave Gilead to Machir. +003:016 To the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead + even to the valley of the Arnon, the middle of the valley, + and the border [of it], even to the river Jabbok, which is + the border of the children of Ammon; +003:017 the Arabah also, and the Jordan and the border [of it], + from Chinnereth even to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, + under the slopes of Pisgah eastward. +003:018 I commanded you at that time, saying, Yahweh your God has given + you this land to possess it: you shall pass over armed before + your brothers the children of Israel, all the men of valor. +003:019 But your wives, and your little ones, and your livestock, + (I know that you have much livestock), shall abide in your + cities which I have given you, +003:020 until Yahweh give rest to your brothers, as to you, and they + also possess the land which Yahweh your God gives them beyond + the Jordan: then shall you return every man to his possession, + which I have given you. +003:021 I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Your eyes have seen + all that Yahweh your God has done to these two kings: + so shall Yahweh do to all the kingdoms where you go over. +003:022 You shall not fear them; for Yahweh your God, he it is who + fights for you. +003:023 I begged Yahweh at that time, saying, +003:024 Lord Yahweh, you have begun to show your servant your greatness, + and your strong hand: for what god is there in heaven or + in earth, that can do according to your works, and according + to your mighty acts? +003:025 Please let me go over and see the good land that is beyond + the Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon. +003:026 But Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, and didn't + listen to me; and Yahweh said to me, Let it suffice you; + speak no more to me of this matter. +003:027 Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up your eyes westward, + and northward, and southward, and eastward, and see with your eyes: + for you shall 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 you shall see. +003:029 So we abode in the valley over against Beth Peor. +004:001 Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and to the ordinances, which I + teach you, to do them; that you may live, and go in and possess + the land which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, gives you. +004:002 You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall + you diminish from it, that you may keep the commandments + of Yahweh your God which I command you. +004:003 Your eyes have seen what Yahweh did because of Baal Peor; + for all the men who followed Baal Peor, Yahweh your God has + destroyed them from the midst of you. +004:004 But you who did cleave to Yahweh your God are alive everyone + of you this day. +004:005 Behold, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as Yahweh + my God commanded me, that you should do so in the midst + of the land where you go in to possess it. +004:006 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your + understanding in the sight of the peoples, who shall hear all + these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise + and understanding people. +004:007 For what great nation is there, that has a god so near to them, + as Yahweh our God is whenever we call on him? +004:008 What great nation is there, that has statutes and ordinances + so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day? +004:009 Only take heed to yourself, and keep your soul diligently, + lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they + depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make + them known to your children and your children's children; +004:010 the day that you stood before Yahweh your God in Horeb, + when Yahweh said to me, Assemble me the people, and I + will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear + me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they + may teach their children. +004:011 You came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain + burned with fire to the heart of the sky, with darkness, + cloud, and thick darkness. +004:012 Yahweh spoke to you out of the midst of the fire: + you heard the voice of words, but you saw no form; only [you + heard] a voice. +004:013 He declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you + to perform, even the ten commandments; and he wrote them + on two tables of stone. +004:014 Yahweh commanded me at that time to teach you statutes + and ordinances, that you might do them in the land where you + go over to possess it. +004:015 Take therefore good heed to yourselves; for you saw no manner + of form on the day that Yahweh spoke to you in Horeb out + of the midst of the fire. +004:016 Lest you corrupt yourselves, and make yourself an engraved image + in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female, +004:017 the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness + of any winged bird that flies in the sky, +004:018 the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness + of any fish that is in the water under the earth; +004:019 and lest you lift up your eyes to the sky, and when you see + the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the army of the sky, + you are drawn away and worship them, and serve them, + which Yahweh your God has allotted to all the peoples under + the whole sky. +004:020 But Yahweh has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron + furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, + as at this day. +004:021 Furthermore Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, + and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I + should not go in to that good land, which Yahweh your God + gives you for an inheritance: +004:022 but I must die in this land, I must not go over the Jordan; + but you shall go over, and possess that good land. +004:023 Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of Yahweh + your God, which he made with you, and make you an engraved image + in the form of anything which Yahweh your God has forbidden you. +004:024 For Yahweh your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God. +004:025 When you shall father children, and children's children, and you + shall have been long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, + and make an engraved image in the form of anything, and shall + do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh your God, + to provoke him to anger; +004:026 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, + that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto + you go over the Jordan to possess it; you shall not prolong + your days on it, but shall utterly be destroyed. +004:027 Yahweh will scatter you among the peoples, and you shall + be left few in number among the nations, where Yahweh shall + lead you away. +004:028 There you shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, + which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. +004:029 But from there you shall seek Yahweh your God, and you shall + find him, when you search after him with all your heart + and with all your soul. +004:030 When you are in oppression, and all these things are come on you, + in the latter days you shall return to Yahweh your God, + and listen to his voice: +004:031 for Yahweh your God is a merciful God; he will not fail you, + neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers + which he swore to them. +004:032 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, + since the day that God created man on the earth, and from + the one end of the sky to the other, whether there has + been [any such thing] as this great thing is, or has been + heard like it? +004:033 Did ever a people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst + of the fire, as you have heard, and live? +004:034 Or has God tried to go and take him a nation from the midst + of [another] nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, + and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, + and by great terrors, according to all that Yahweh your God + did for you in Egypt before your eyes? +004:035 To you it was shown, that you might know that Yahweh he is God; + there is none else besides him. +004:036 Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might + instruct you: and on earth he made you to see his great fire; + and you heard his words out of the midst of the fire. +004:037 Because he loved your fathers, therefore he chose their + seed after them, and brought you out with his presence, + with his great power, out of Egypt; +004:038 to drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you, + to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, + as at this day. +004:039 Know therefore this day, and lay it to your heart, that Yahweh + he is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; + there is none else. +004:040 You shall keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I + command you this day, that it may go well with you, and with + your children after you, and that you may prolong your days + in the land, which Yahweh your God gives you, forever. +004:041 Then Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan + toward the sunrise; +004:042 that the manslayer might flee there, who kills his neighbor unawares, + and didn't hate him in time past; and that fleeing to one + of these cities he might live: +004:043 [namely], Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, + for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; + and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites. +004:044 This is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel: +004:045 these are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, + which Moses spoke to the children of Israel, when they came + forth out of Egypt, +004:046 beyond the Jordan, in the valley over against Beth Peor, + in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, + whom Moses and the children of Israel struck, when they came + forth out of Egypt. +004:047 They took his land in possession, and the land of Og king + of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond + the Jordan toward the sunrise; +004:048 from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, + even to Mount Sion (the same is Hermon), +004:049 and all the Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward, even to the sea + of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah. +005:001 Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Hear, Israel, + the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears + this day, that you may learn them, and observe to do them. +005:002 Yahweh our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. +005:003 Yahweh didn't make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, + even us, who are all of us here alive this day. +005:004 Yahweh spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of + the midst of the fire, +005:005 (I stood between Yahweh and you at that time, to show you + the word of Yahweh: for you were afraid because of the fire, + and didn't go up onto the mountain;) saying, +005:006 "I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, + out of the house of bondage. +005:007 You shall have no other gods before me. +005:008 "You shall not make an engraved image for yourself, + [nor] any likeness [of anything] that is in heaven above, + or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water + under the earth: +005:009 you shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them; + for I, Yahweh, your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity + of the fathers on the children, and on the third and on + the fourth generation of those who hate me; +005:010 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me + and keep my commandments. +005:011 "You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain: + for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. +005:012 "Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Yahweh your + God commanded you. +005:013 Six days shall you labor, and do all your work; +005:014 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God: + [in it] you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, + nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, + nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your livestock, + nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your male + servant and your female servant may rest as well as you. +005:015 You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, + and Yahweh your God brought you out of there by a mighty + hand and by an outstretched arm: therefore Yahweh your God + commanded you to keep the Sabbath day. +005:016 "Honor your father and your mother, as Yahweh your God commanded you; + that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you, + in the land which Yahweh your God gives you. +005:017 "You shall not murder. +005:018 "Neither shall you commit adultery. +005:019 "Neither shall you steal. +005:020 "Neither shall you give false testimony against your neighbor. +005:021 "Neither shall you covet your neighbor's wife; neither shall you + desire your neighbor's house, his field, or his male servant, + or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything + that is your neighbor's." +005:022 These words Yahweh spoke to all your assembly on the mountain + out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the + thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. + He wrote them on two tables of stone, and gave them to me. +005:023 It happened, when you heard the voice out of the midst + of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, + that you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, + and your elders; +005:024 and you said, Behold, Yahweh our God has shown 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 does speak with man, + and he lives. +005:025 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will + consume us: if we hear the voice of Yahweh our God any more, + then we shall die. +005:026 For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice + of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, + as we have, and lived? +005:027 Go you near, and hear all that Yahweh our God shall say: + and speak you to us all that Yahweh our God shall speak to you; + and we will hear it, and do it. +005:028 Yahweh heard the voice of your words, when you spoke to me; + and Yahweh said to me, I have heard the voice of the words + of this people, which they have spoken to you: + they have well said all that they have spoken. +005:029 Oh that there were such a 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 forever! +005:030 Go tell them, Return you to your tents. +005:031 But as for you, stand you here by me, and I will speak to you + all the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, + which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land + which I give them to possess it. +005:032 You shall observe to do therefore as Yahweh your God has + commanded you: you shall not turn aside to the right hand + or to the left. +005:033 You shall walk in all the way which Yahweh your God has + commanded you, that you may live, and that it may be well + with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land + which you shall possess. +006:001 Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, + which Yahweh your God commanded to teach you, that you might + do them in the land where you go over to possess it; +006:002 that you might fear Yahweh your God, to keep all his statutes + and his commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, + and your son's son, all the days of your life; and that your + days may be prolonged. +006:003 Hear therefore, Israel, and observe to do it; that it + may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, + as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, + in a land flowing with milk and honey. +006:004 Hear, Israel: Yahweh is our God; Yahweh is one: +006:005 and you shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, + and with all your soul, and with all your might. +006:006 These words, which I command you this day, shall be on your heart; +006:007 and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall + talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk + by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. +006:008 You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall + be for symbols between your eyes. +006:009 You shall write them on the door posts of your house, + and on your gates. +006:010 It shall be, when Yahweh your God shall bring you into + the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, + to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities, + which you didn't build, +006:011 and houses full of all good things, which you didn't fill, + and cisterns dug out, which you didn't dig, vineyards and + olive trees, which you didn't plant, and you shall eat + and be full; +006:012 then beware lest you forget Yahweh, who brought you forth + out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. +006:013 You shall fear Yahweh your God; and him shall you serve, + and shall swear by his name. +006:014 You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples + who are round about you; +006:015 for Yahweh your God in the midst of you is a jealous God; + lest the anger of Yahweh your God be kindled against you, + and he destroy you from off the face of the earth. +006:016 You shall not tempt Yahweh your God, as you tempted him in Massah. +006:017 You shall diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, + and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you. +006:018 You shall do that which is right and good in the sight of Yahweh; + that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess + the good land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, +006:019 to thrust out all your enemies from before you, as Yahweh has spoken. +006:020 When your son asks you in time to come, saying, What mean + the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, + which Yahweh our God has commanded you? +006:021 then you shall tell your son, We were Pharaoh's bondservants + in Egypt: and Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand; +006:022 and Yahweh showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt, + on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes; +006:023 and he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, + to give us the land which he swore to our fathers. +006:024 Yahweh commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Yahweh + our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, + as at this day. +006:025 It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this + commandment before Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us. +007:001 When Yahweh your God shall bring you into the land where you + go to possess it, and shall cast out many nations before you, + the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, + and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, + seven nations greater and mightier than you; +007:002 and when Yahweh your God shall deliver them up before you, + and you shall strike them; then you shall utterly destroy them: + you shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them; +007:003 neither shall you make marriages with them; your daughter you + shall not give to his son, nor his daughter shall you take + to your son. +007:004 For he will turn away your son from following me, that they + may serve other gods: so will the anger of Yahweh be kindled + against you, and he will destroy you quickly. +007:005 But thus shall you deal with them: you shall break down their altars, + and dash in pieces their pillars, and hew down their Asherim, + and burn their engraved images with fire. +007:006 For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God: Yahweh your + God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, + above all peoples who are on the face of the earth. +007:007 Yahweh didn't set his love on you, nor choose you, because you + were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest + of all peoples: +007:008 but because Yahweh loves you, and because he would keep the oath + which he swore to your fathers, has Yahweh brought you out with + a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, + from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. +007:009 Know therefore that Yahweh your God, he is God, the faithful God, + who keeps covenant and loving kindness with them who love + him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations, +007:010 and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them: + he will not be slack to him who hates him, he will repay him + to his face. +007:011 You shall therefore keep the commandment, and the statutes, + and the ordinances, which I command you this day, to do them. +007:012 It shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances, + and keep and do them, that Yahweh your God will keep with + you the covenant and the loving kindness which he swore + to your fathers: +007:013 and he will love you, and bless you, and multiply you; + he will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit + of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, + the increase of your livestock and the young of your flock, + in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you. +007:014 You shall be blessed above all peoples: there shall not be + male or female barren among you, or among your livestock. +007:015 Yahweh will take away from you all sickness; and none of the evil + diseases of Egypt, which you know, he will put on you, + but will lay them on all those who hate you. +007:016 You shall consume all the peoples whom Yahweh your God + shall deliver to you; your eye shall not pity them: + neither shall you serve their gods; for that will be a + snare to you. +007:017 If you shall say in your heart, These nations are more than I; + how can I dispossess them? +007:018 you shall not be afraid of them: you shall well remember + what Yahweh your God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt; +007:019 the great trials which your eyes saw, and the signs, + and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, + by which Yahweh your God brought you out: so shall Yahweh + your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid. +007:020 Moreover Yahweh your God will send the hornet among them, + until those who are left, and hide themselves, + perish from before you. +007:021 You shall not be scared of them; for Yahweh your God is in + the midst of you, a great and awesome God. +007:022 Yahweh your God will cast out those nations before you + by little and little: you may not consume them at once, + lest the animals of the field increase on you. +007:023 But Yahweh your God will deliver them up before you, and will + confuse them with a great confusion, until they be destroyed. +007:024 He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you + shall make their name to perish from under the sky: + there shall no man be able to stand before you, until you + have destroyed them. +007:025 The engraved images of their gods shall you burn with fire: + you shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, + nor take it to you, lest you be snared therein; for it is + an abomination to Yahweh your God. +007:026 You shall not bring an abomination into your house, and become + a devoted thing like it: you shall utterly detest it, + and you shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing. +008:001 All the commandment which I command you this day shall you + observe to do, that you may live, and multiply, and go + in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers. +008:002 You shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you + these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, + to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you + would keep his commandments, or not. +008:003 He humbled you, and allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna, + which you didn't know, neither did your fathers know; + that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, + but by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh + does man live. +008:004 Your clothing didn't grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, + these forty years. +008:005 You shall consider in your heart that as a man chastens his son, + so Yahweh your God chastens you. +008:006 You shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, to walk + in his ways, and to fear him. +008:007 For Yahweh your God brings you into a good land, a land + of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing + into valleys and hills; +008:008 a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; + a land of olive trees and honey; +008:009 a land in which you shall eat bread without scarceness, + you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, + and out of whose hills you may dig copper. +008:010 You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless Yahweh your God + for the good land which he has given you. +008:011 Beware lest you forget Yahweh your God, in not keeping + his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, + which I command you this day: +008:012 lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built + goodly houses, and lived therein; +008:013 and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver + and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; +008:014 then your heart be lifted up, and you forget Yahweh your God, + who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of + the house of bondage; +008:015 who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, + [in which were] fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty + ground where was no water; who brought you forth water out + of the rock of flint; +008:016 who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers + didn't know; that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, + to do you good at your latter end: +008:017 and [lest] you say in your heart, My power and the might of my + hand has gotten me this wealth. +008:018 But you shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives + you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant + which he swore to your fathers, as at this day. +008:019 It shall be, if you shall forget Yahweh your God, and walk + after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify + against you this day that you shall surely perish. +008:020 As the nations that Yahweh makes to perish before you, + so shall you perish; because you wouldn't listen to the voice + of Yahweh your God. +009:001 Hear, Israel: you are to pass over the Jordan this day, to go + in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, + cities great and fortified up to the sky, +009:002 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, + and of whom you have heard say, Who can stand before + the sons of Anak? +009:003 Know therefore this day, that Yahweh your God is he who goes + over before you as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, + and he will bring them down before you: so shall you drive + them out, and make them to perish quickly, as Yahweh has + spoken to you. +009:004 Don't speak in your heart, after that Yahweh your God + has thrust them out from before you, saying, For my + righteousness Yahweh has brought me in to possess this land; + whereas for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh does drive + them out from before you. +009:005 Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, + do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness + of these nations Yahweh your God does drive them out from + before you, and that he may establish the word which Yahweh + swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. +009:006 Know therefore, that Yahweh your God doesn't give you this + good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are + a stiff-necked people. +009:007 Remember, don't forget, how you provoked Yahweh your God + to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that you went forth + out of the land of Egypt, until you came to this place, + you have been rebellious against Yahweh. +009:008 Also in Horeb you provoked Yahweh to wrath, and Yahweh was angry + with you to destroy you. +009:009 When I was gone up onto the mountain to receive the tables of stone, + even the tables of the covenant which Yahweh made with you, + then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights; + I did neither eat bread nor drink water. +009:010 Yahweh delivered to me the two tables of stone written + with the finger of God; and on them [was written] according + to all the words, which Yahweh spoke with you on the mountain + out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. +009:011 It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, + that Yahweh gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables + of the covenant. +009:012 Yahweh said to me, Arise, get you down quickly from hence; + for your people whom you have brought forth out of Egypt + have corrupted themselves; they have quickly turned aside + out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them + a molten image. +009:013 Furthermore Yahweh spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, + and behold, it is a stiff-necked people: +009:014 let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name + from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier + and greater than they. +009:015 So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain + was burning with fire: and the two tables of the covenant + were in my two hands. +009:016 I looked, and behold, you had sinned against Yahweh your God; + you had made you a molten calf: you had turned aside quickly + out of the way which Yahweh had commanded you. +009:017 I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, + and broke them before your eyes. +009:018 I fell down before Yahweh, as at the first, forty days + and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water; + because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which + was evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger. +009:019 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, + with which Yahweh was angry against you to destroy you. + But Yahweh listened to me that time also. +009:020 Yahweh was very angry with Aaron to destroy him: + and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time. +009:021 I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it + with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it + was as fine as dust: and I cast the dust of it into the brook + that descended out of the mountain. +009:022 At Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah, + you provoked Yahweh to wrath. +009:023 When Yahweh sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, Go up and possess + the land which I have given you; then you rebelled against + the commandment of Yahweh your God, and you didn't believe him, + nor listen to his voice. +009:024 You have been rebellious against Yahweh from the day that + I knew you. +009:025 So I fell down before Yahweh the forty days and forty nights + that I fell down, because Yahweh had said he would destroy you. +009:026 I prayed to Yahweh, and said, Lord Yahweh, don't destroy your + people and your inheritance, that you have redeemed through + your greatness, that you have brought forth out of Egypt + with a mighty hand. +009:027 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; don't look + to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, + nor to their sin, +009:028 lest the land whence you brought us out say, Because Yahweh was + not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, + and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill + them in the wilderness. +009:029 Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought + out by your great power and by your outstretched arm. +010:001 At that time Yahweh said to me, Hew you two tables of stone + like the first, and come up to me onto the mountain, + and make an ark of wood. +010:002 I will write on the tables the words that were on the first + tables which you broke, and you shall put them in the ark. +010:003 So I made an ark of acacia wood, and hewed two tables + of stone like the first, and went up onto the mountain, + having the two tables in my hand. +010:004 He wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, + the ten commandments, which Yahweh spoke to you on the mountain + out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: + and Yahweh gave them to me. +010:005 I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tables + in the ark which I had made; and there they are as + Yahweh commanded me. +010:006 (The children of Israel traveled from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah. + There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son + ministered in the priest's office in his place. +010:007 From there they traveled to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah + to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water. +010:008 At that time Yahweh set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear + the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, to stand before Yahweh + to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day. +010:009 Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; + Yahweh is his inheritance, according as Yahweh your God + spoke to him.) +010:010 I stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days + and forty nights: and Yahweh listened to me that time also; + Yahweh would not destroy you. +010:011 Yahweh said to me, Arise, take your journey before the people; + and they shall go in and possess the land, which I swore + to their fathers to give to them. +010:012 Now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God require of you, + but to fear Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, + and to love him, and to serve Yahweh your God with all your + heart and with all your soul, +010:013 to keep the commandments of Yahweh, and his statutes, which I + command you this day for your good? +010:014 Behold, to Yahweh your God belongs heaven and the heaven + of heavens, the earth, with all that is therein. +010:015 Only Yahweh had a delight in your fathers to love them, + and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples, + as at this day. +010:016 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be + no more stiff-necked. +010:017 For Yahweh your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, + the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn't + regard persons, nor takes reward. +010:018 He does execute justice for the fatherless and widow, + and loves the foreigner, in giving him food and clothing. +010:019 Therefore love the foreigner; for you were foreigners in + the land of Egypt. +010:020 You shall fear Yahweh your God; him shall you serve; + and to him shall you cleave, and by his name shall you swear. +010:021 He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you + these great and awesome things, which your eyes have seen. +010:022 Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; + and now Yahweh your God has made you as the stars of the + sky for multitude. +011:001 Therefore you shall love Yahweh your God, and keep his charge, + and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments, always. +011:002 Know you this day: for I don't speak with your children + who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement + of Yahweh your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, + and his outstretched arm, +011:003 and his signs, and his works, which he did in the midst of Egypt + to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to all his land; +011:004 and what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and to + their chariots; how he made the water of the Red Sea{or, Sea of + Reeds} to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how + Yahweh has destroyed them to this day; +011:005 and what he did to you in the wilderness, until you came + to this place; +011:006 and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, + the son of Reuben; how the earth opened its mouth, + and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, + and every living thing that followed them, in the midst + of all Israel: +011:007 but your eyes have seen all the great work of Yahweh which he did. +011:008 Therefore shall you keep all the commandment which I command + you this day, that you may be strong, and go in and possess + the land, where you go over to possess it; +011:009 and that you may prolong your days in the land, which Yahweh + swore to your fathers to give to them and to their seed, + a land flowing with milk and honey. +011:010 For the land, where you go in to possess it, isn't as the land + of Egypt, from whence you came out, where you sowed your seed, + and watered it with your foot, as a garden of herbs; +011:011 but the land, where you go over to possess it, is a land of hills + and valleys, [and] drinks water of the rain of the sky, +011:012 a land which Yahweh your God cares for: the eyes of Yahweh + your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year + even to the end of the year. +011:013 It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to my commandments + which I command you this day, to love Yahweh your God, + and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, +011:014 that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former + rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, + and your new wine, and your oil. +011:015 I will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you + shall eat and be full. +011:016 Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you + turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; +011:017 and the anger of Yahweh be kindled against you, and he shut + up the sky, so that there shall be no rain, and the land + shall not yield its fruit; and you perish quickly from off + the good land which Yahweh gives you. +011:018 Therefore shall you lay up these my words in your heart and in + your soul; and you shall bind them for a sign on your hand, + and they shall be for symbols between your eyes. +011:019 You shall teach them your children, talking of them, + when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, + and when you lie down, and when you rise up. +011:020 You shall write them on the door posts of your house, + and on your gates; +011:021 that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, + in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give them, + as the days of the heavens above the earth. +011:022 For if you shall diligently keep all this commandment which I + command you, to do it, to love Yahweh your God, to walk + in all his ways, and to cleave to him; +011:023 then will Yahweh drive out all these nations from before you, and you + shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves. +011:024 Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall + be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, + the river Euphrates, even to the hinder sea shall be your border. +011:025 There shall no man be able to stand before you: + Yahweh your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread + of you on all the land that you shall tread on, as he has + spoken to you. +011:026 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse: +011:027 the blessing, if you shall listen to the commandments of Yahweh + your God, which I command you this day; +011:028 and the curse, if you shall not listen to the commandments + of Yahweh your God, but turn aside out of the way which I + command you this day, to go after other gods, which you + have not known. +011:029 It shall happen, when Yahweh your God shall bring you into + the land where you go to possess it, that you shall set + the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on Mount Ebal. +011:030 Aren't they beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going + down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell + in the Arabah, over against Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh? +011:031 For you are to pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land + which Yahweh your God gives you, and you shall possess it, + and dwell therein. +011:032 You shall observe to do all the statutes and the ordinances + which I set before you this day. +012:001 These are the statutes and the ordinances which you shall observe + to do in the land which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, + has given you to possess it, all the days that you live + on the earth. +012:002 You shall surely destroy all the places in which the nations that + you shall dispossess served their gods, on the high mountains, + and on the hills, and under every green tree: +012:003 and you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces + their pillars, and burn their Asherim with fire; + and you shall cut down the engraved images of their gods; + and you shall destroy their name out of that place. +012:004 You shall not do so to Yahweh your God. +012:005 But to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose out of all + your tribes, to put his name there, even to his habitation + shall you seek, and there you shall come; +012:006 and there you shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, + and your tithes, and the wave offering of your hand, + and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstborn + of your herd and of your flock: +012:007 and there you shall eat before Yahweh your God, and you shall + rejoice in all that you put your hand to, you and your households, + in which Yahweh your God has blessed you. +012:008 You shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, + every man whatever is right in his own eyes; +012:009 for you haven't yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, + which Yahweh your God gives you. +012:010 But when you go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which + Yahweh your God causes you to inherit, and he gives you rest + from all your enemies round about, so that you dwell in safety; +012:011 then it shall happen that to the place which Yahweh your God + shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, there shall + you bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings, + and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the wave offering of + your hand, and all your choice vows which you vow to Yahweh. +012:012 You shall rejoice before Yahweh your God, you, and your sons, + and your daughters, and your male servants, and your + female servants, and the Levite who is within your gates, + because he has no portion nor inheritance with you. +012:013 Take heed to yourself that you don't offer your burnt offerings + in every place that you see; +012:014 but in the place which Yahweh shall choose in one of your tribes, + there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you + shall do all that I command you. +012:015 Notwithstanding, you may kill and eat flesh within all + your gates, after all the desire of your soul, according to + the blessing of Yahweh your God which he has given you: + the unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle, + and as of the hart. +012:016 Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on + the earth as water. +012:017 You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain, + or of your new wine, or of your oil, or the firstborn of your + herd or of your flock, nor any of your vows which you vow, + nor your freewill offerings, nor the wave offering of your hand; +012:018 but you shall eat them before Yahweh your God in the place + which Yahweh your God shall choose, you, and your son, + and your daughter, and your male servant, and your + female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates: + and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God in all that you + put your hand to. +012:019 Take heed to yourself that you don't forsake the Levite as long + as you live in your land. +012:020 When Yahweh your God shall enlarge your border, as he has + promised you, and you shall say, I will eat flesh, + because your soul desires to eat flesh; you may eat flesh, + after all the desire of your soul. +012:021 If the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, to put + his name there, be too far from you, then you shall kill + of your herd and of your flock, which Yahweh has given you, + as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your gates, + after all the desire of your soul. +012:022 Even as the gazelle and as the hart is eaten, so you shall eat of it: + the unclean and the clean may eat of it alike. +012:023 Only be sure that you don't eat the blood: for the blood + is the life; and you shall not eat the life with the flesh. +012:024 You shall not eat it; you shall pour it out on the earth as water. +012:025 You shall not eat it; that it may go well with you, and with + your children after you, when you shall do that which is + right in the eyes of Yahweh. +012:026 Only your holy things which you have, and your vows, you shall take, + and go to the place which Yahweh shall choose: +012:027 and you shall offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, + on the altar of Yahweh your God; and the blood of your + sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of Yahweh your God; + and you shall eat the flesh. +012:028 Observe and hear all these words which I command you, that it + may go well with you, and with your children after you forever, + when you do that which is good and right in the eyes of + Yahweh your God. +012:029 When Yahweh your God shall cut off the nations from before you, + where you go in to dispossess them, and you dispossess them, + and dwell in their land; +012:030 take heed to yourself that you not be ensnared to follow them, + after that they are destroyed from before you; and that you + not inquire after their gods, saying, How do these nations + serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. +012:031 You shall not do so to Yahweh your God: for every abomination + to Yahweh, which he hates, have they done to their gods; + for even their sons and their daughters do they burn in the fire + to their gods. +012:032 Whatever thing I command you, that shall you observe to do: + you shall not add thereto, nor diminish from it. +013:001 If there arise in the midst of you a prophet, or a dreamer + of dreams, and he give you a sign or a wonder, +013:002 and the sign or the wonder come to pass, of which he spoke + to you, saying, Let us go after other gods, which you have + not known, and let us serve them; +013:003 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to + that dreamer of dreams: for Yahweh your God proves you, + to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all your heart + and with all your soul. +013:004 You shall walk after Yahweh your God, and fear him, and keep + his commandments, and obey his voice, and you shall serve him, + and cleave to him. +013:005 That prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, + because he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh your God, + who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed + you out of the house of bondage, to draw you aside out + of the way which Yahweh your God commanded you to walk in. + So shall you put away the evil from the midst of you. +013:006 If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, + or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend, + who is as your own soul, entice you secretly, saying, Let us + go and serve other gods, which you have not known, you, + nor your fathers; +013:007 of the gods of the peoples who are round about you, near to you, + or far off from you, from the one end of the earth even + to the other end of the earth; +013:008 you shall not consent to him, nor listen to him; neither shall + your eye pity him, neither shall you spare, neither shall + you conceal him: +013:009 but you shall surely kill him; your hand shall be first on him + to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. +013:010 You shall stone him to death with stones, because he has + sought to draw you away from Yahweh your God, who brought + you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. +013:011 All Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not do any more + such wickedness as this is in the midst of you. +013:012 If you shall hear tell concerning one of your cities, + which Yahweh your God gives you to dwell there, saying, +013:013 Certain base fellows are gone out from the midst of you, + and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us + go and serve other gods, which you have not known; +013:014 then shall you inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; + and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, + that such abomination is done in the midst of you, +013:015 you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge + of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein + and the livestock of it, with the edge of the sword. +013:016 You shall gather all the spoil of it into the midst + of the street of it, and shall burn with fire the city, + and all the spoil of it every whit, to Yahweh your God: + and it shall be a heap forever; it shall not be built again. +013:017 There shall cleave nothing of the devoted thing to your hand; + that Yahweh may turn from the fierceness of his anger, + and show you mercy, and have compassion on you, and multiply you, + as he has sworn to your fathers; +013:018 when you shall listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, + to keep all his commandments which I command you this day, + to do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh your God. +014:001 You are the children of Yahweh your God: you shall not + cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes + for the dead. +014:002 For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God, and Yahweh + has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, + above all peoples who are on the face of the earth. +014:003 You shall not eat any abominable thing. +014:004 These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, + and the goat, +014:005 the hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, + and the ibex, and the antelope, and the chamois. +014:006 Every animal that parts the hoof, and has the hoof cloven in two, + [and] chews the cud, among the animals, that may you eat. +014:007 Nevertheless these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, + or of those who have the hoof cloven: the camel, and the hare, + and the rabbit; because they chew the cud but don't part the hoof, + they are unclean to you. +014:008 The pig, because it has a split hoof but doesn't chew the cud, + is unclean to you: of their flesh you shall not eat, + and their carcasses you shall not touch. +014:009 These you may eat of all that are in the waters: + whatever has fins and scales may you eat; +014:010 and whatever doesn't have fins and scales you shall not eat; + it is unclean to you. +014:011 Of all clean birds you may eat. +014:012 But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, + and the vulture, and the osprey, +014:013 and the red kite, and the falcon, and the kite after its kind, +014:014 and every raven after its kind, +014:015 and the ostrich, and the owl, and the seagull, and the hawk + after its kind, +014:016 the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl, +014:017 and the pelican, and the vulture, and the cormorant, +014:018 and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, + and the bat. +014:019 All winged creeping things are unclean to you: they shall + not be eaten. +014:020 Of all clean birds you may eat. +014:021 You shall not eat of anything that dies of itself: + you may give it to the foreigner living among you who is + within your gates, that he may eat it; or you may sell it + to a foreigner: for you are a holy people to Yahweh your God. + You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk. +014:022 You shall surely tithe all the increase of your seed, + that which comes forth from the field year by year. +014:023 You shall eat before Yahweh your God, in the place + which he shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, + the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, + and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock; that you + may learn to fear Yahweh your God always. +014:024 If the way be too long for you, so that you are not able + to carry it, because the place is too far from you, + which Yahweh your God shall choose, to set his name there, + when Yahweh your God shall bless you; +014:025 then shall you turn it into money, and bind up the money + in your hand, and shall go to the place which Yahweh your + God shall choose: +014:026 and you shall bestow the money for whatever your soul desires, + for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, + or for whatever your soul asks of you; and you shall eat + there before Yahweh your God, and you shall rejoice, + you and your household. +014:027 The Levite who is within your gates, you shall not forsake him; + for he has no portion nor inheritance with you. +014:028 At the end of every three years you shall bring forth all + the tithe of your increase in the same year, and shall lay + it up within your gates: +014:029 and the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, + and the foreigner living among you, and the fatherless, + and the widow, who are within your gates, shall come, + and shall eat and be satisfied; that Yahweh your God may bless + you in all the work of your hand which you do. +015:001 At the end of every seven years you shall make a release. +015:002 This is the manner of the release: every creditor + shall release that which he has lent to his neighbor; + he shall not exact it of his neighbor and his brother; + because Yahweh's release has been proclaimed. +015:003 Of a foreigner you may exact it: but whatever of your is + with your brother your hand shall release. +015:004 However there shall be no poor with you; (for Yahweh will + surely bless you in the land which Yahweh your God gives you + for an inheritance to possess it;) +015:005 if only you diligently listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, + to observe to do all this commandment which I command + you this day. +015:006 For Yahweh your God will bless you, as he promised you: + and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; + and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not + rule over you. +015:007 If there be with you a poor man, one of your brothers, + within any of your gates in your land which Yahweh your God + gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand + from your poor brother; +015:008 but you shall surely open your hand to him, and shall surely + lend him sufficient for his need [in that] which he wants. +015:009 Beware that there not be a base thought in your heart, saying, + The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and your eye + be evil against your poor brother, and you give him nothing; + and he cry to Yahweh against you, and it be sin to you. +015:010 You shall surely give him, and your heart shall not be grieved + when you give to him; because that for this thing Yahweh + your God will bless you in all your work, and in all that you + put your hand to. +015:011 For the poor will never cease out of the land: + therefore I command you, saying, You shall surely open + your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, + in your land. +015:012 If your brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, be sold to you, + and serve you six years; then in the seventh year you shall + let him go free from you. +015:013 When you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty: +015:014 you shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, + and out of your threshing floor, and out of your winepress; + as Yahweh your God has blessed you, you shall give to him. +015:015 You shall remember that you were a bondservant in the land + of Egypt, and Yahweh your God redeemed you: therefore I + command you this thing today. +015:016 It shall be, if he tell you, I will not go out from you; + because he loves you and your house, because he is well with you; +015:017 then you shall take an awl, and thrust it through his ear + to the door, and he shall be your servant forever. + Also to your female servant you shall do likewise. +015:018 It shall not seem hard to you, when you let him go free from you; + for to the double of the hire of a hireling has he served + you six years: and Yahweh your God will bless you in all + that you do. +015:019 All the firstborn males that are born of your herd and + of your flock you shall sanctify to Yahweh your God: + you shall do no work with the firstborn of your herd, + nor shear the firstborn of your flock. +015:020 You shall eat it before Yahweh your God year by year in the place + which Yahweh shall choose, you and your household. +015:021 If it have any blemish, [as if it be] lame or blind, any ill + blemish whatever, you shall not sacrifice it to Yahweh your God. +015:022 You shall eat it within your gates: the unclean and the clean + [shall eat it] alike, as the gazelle, and as the hart. +015:023 Only you shall not eat its blood; you shall pour it out on + the ground as water. +016:001 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover to Yahweh your God; + for in the month of Abib Yahweh your God brought you forth + out of Egypt by night. +016:002 You shall sacrifice the Passover to Yahweh your God, of the flock + and the herd, in the place which Yahweh shall choose, + to cause his name to dwell there. +016:003 You shall eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shall you + eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; + for you came forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: + that you may remember the day when you came forth out of the land + of Egypt all the days of your life. +016:004 There shall be no yeast seen with you in all your borders + seven days; neither shall any of the flesh, which you sacrifice + the first day at even, remain all night until the morning. +016:005 You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates, + which Yahweh your God gives you; +016:006 but at the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, to cause + his name to dwell in, there you shall sacrifice the Passover + at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that you + came forth out of Egypt. +016:007 You shall roast and eat it in the place which Yahweh your God + shall choose: and you shall turn in the morning, and go + to your tents. +016:008 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread; and on the seventh + day shall be a solemn assembly to Yahweh your God; you shall + do no work [therein]. +016:009 Seven weeks shall you number to you: from the time you begin + to put the sickle to the standing grain shall you begin + to number seven weeks. +016:010 You shall keep the feast of weeks to Yahweh your God with a tribute + of a freewill offering of your hand, which you shall give, + according as Yahweh your God blesses you: +016:011 and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God, you, and your son, + and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, + and the Levite who is within your gates, and the foreigner, + and the fatherless, and the widow, who are in the midst of you, + in the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, to cause + his name to dwell there. +016:012 You shall remember that you were a bondservant in Egypt: + and you shall observe and do these statutes. +016:013 You shall keep the feast of tents seven days, after that you have + gathered in from your threshing floor and from your winepress: +016:014 and you shall rejoice in your feast, you, and your son, + and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, + and the Levite, and the foreigner, and the fatherless, + and the widow, who are within your gates. +016:015 Seven days shall you keep a feast to Yahweh your God in the place + which Yahweh shall choose; because Yahweh your God will bless + you in all your increase, and in all the work of your hands, + and you shall be altogether joyful. +016:016 Three times in a year shall all your males appear before + Yahweh your 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 tents; and they shall not appear + before Yahweh empty: +016:017 every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing + of Yahweh your God which he has given you. +016:018 Judges and officers shall you make you in all your gates, + which Yahweh your God gives you, according to your tribes; + and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment. +016:019 You shall not wrest justice: you shall not respect persons; + neither shall you take a bribe; for a bribe does blind the eyes + of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous. +016:020 That which is altogether just shall you follow, that you may live, + and inherit the land which Yahweh your God gives you. +016:021 You shall not plant you an Asherah of any kind of tree beside + the altar of Yahweh your God, which you shall make you. +016:022 Neither shall you set yourself up a pillar; which Yahweh + your God hates. +017:001 You shall not sacrifice to Yahweh your God an ox, or a sheep, + in which is a blemish, [or] anything evil; for that is an + abomination to Yahweh your God. +017:002 If there be found in the midst of you, within any of your + gates which Yahweh your God gives you, man or woman, + who does that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh your God, + in transgressing his covenant, +017:003 and has gone and served other gods, and worshiped them, + or the sun, or the moon, or any of the army of the sky, + which I have not commanded; +017:004 and it be told you, and you have heard of it, then shall you + inquire diligently; and behold, if it be true, and the thing certain, + that such abomination is done in Israel, +017:005 then shall you bring forth that man or that woman, who has done + this evil thing, to your gates, even the man or the woman; + and you shall stone them to death with stones. +017:006 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he who is + to die be put to death; at the mouth of one witness he shall + not be put to death. +017:007 The hand of the witnesses shall be first on him to put + him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. + So you shall put away the evil from the midst of you. +017:008 If there arise a matter too hard for you in judgment, + between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke + and stroke, being matters of controversy within your gates; + then shall you arise, and go up to the place which Yahweh + your God shall choose; +017:009 and you shall come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge + who shall be in those days: and you shall inquire; + and they shall show you the sentence of judgment. +017:010 You shall do according to the tenor of the sentence which they + shall show you from that place which Yahweh shall choose; + and you shall observe to do according to all that they + shall teach you: +017:011 according to the tenor of the law which they shall teach you, + and according to the judgment which they shall tell you, + you shall do; you shall not turn aside from the sentence + which they shall show you, to the right hand, nor to the left. +017:012 The man who does presumptuously, in not listening to the priest + who stands to minister there before Yahweh your God, + or to the judge, even that man shall die: and you shall put + away the evil from Israel. +017:013 All the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously. +017:014 When you are come to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, + and shall possess it, and shall dwell therein, and shall say, + I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are + round about me; +017:015 you shall surely set him king over you, whom Yahweh your + God shall choose: one from among your brothers shall you + set king over you; you may not put a foreigner over you, + who is not your brother. +017:016 Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people + to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses; + because Yahweh has said to you, You shall henceforth return + no more that way. +017:017 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart + not turn away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself + silver and gold. +017:018 It shall be, when he sits on 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 Yahweh his God, + to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, + to do them; +017:020 that his heart not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he not + turn 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, [even] all the tribe of Levi, + shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel: + they shall eat the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, + and his inheritance. +018:002 They shall have no inheritance among their brothers: + Yahweh is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them. +018:003 This shall be the priests' due from the people, from those + who offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they + shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, + and the maw. +018:004 The first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, + and the first of the fleece of your sheep, shall you give him. +018:005 For Yahweh your God has chosen him out of all your tribes, + to stand to minister in the name of Yahweh, him and his + sons for ever. +018:006 If a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel, + where he lives as a foreigner, and comes with all the desire + of his soul to the place which Yahweh shall choose; +018:007 then he shall minister in the name of Yahweh his God, as all + his brothers the Levites do, who stand there before Yahweh. +018:008 They shall have like portions to eat, besides that which comes + of the sale of his patrimony. +018:009 When you are come into the land which Yahweh your God gives you, + you shall not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. +018:010 There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his + daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, + one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, +018:011 or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, + or a necromancer. +018:012 For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh: + and because of these abominations Yahweh your God does drive + them out from before you. +018:013 You shall be perfect with Yahweh your God. +018:014 For these nations, that you shall dispossess, listen to those + who practice sorcery, and to diviners; but as for you, + Yahweh your God has not allowed you so to do. +018:015 Yahweh your God will raise up to you a prophet from the midst + of you, of your brothers, like me; to him you shall listen; +018:016 according to all that you desired of Yahweh your God in Horeb + in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again + the voice of Yahweh my God, neither let me see this great fire + any more, that I not die. +018:017 Yahweh said to me, They have well said that which they have spoken. +018:018 I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, + like you; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall + speak to them all that I shall command him. +018:019 It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words + which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. +018:020 But the prophet, who shall speak a word presumptuously in my name, + which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak + in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die. +018:021 If you say in your heart, How shall we know the word which Yahweh + has not spoken? +018:022 when a prophet speaks in the name of Yahweh, if the thing + doesn't follow, nor happen, that is the thing which Yahweh + has not spoken: the prophet has spoken it presumptuously, + you shall not be afraid of him. +019:001 When Yahweh your God shall cut off the nations, whose land + Yahweh your God gives you, and you succeed them, and dwell + in their cities, and in their houses; +019:002 you shall set apart three cities for you in the midst of your land, + which Yahweh your God gives you to possess it. +019:003 You shall prepare you the way, and divide the borders of your land, + which Yahweh your God causes you to inherit, into three parts, + that every manslayer may flee there. +019:004 This is the case of the manslayer, that shall flee there and live: + whoever kills his neighbor unawares, and didn't hate him + in time past; +019:005 as when a man goes into the forest with his neighbor to hew wood, + and his hand fetches a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, + and the head slips from the handle, and lights on his neighbor, + so that he dies; he shall flee to one of these cities and live: +019:006 lest the avenger of blood pursue the manslayer, while his + heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, + and strike him mortally; whereas he was not worthy of death, + inasmuch as he didn't hate him in time past. +019:007 Therefore I command you, saying, You shall set apart three + cities for you. +019:008 If Yahweh your God enlarge your border, as he has sworn + to your fathers, and give you all the land which he promised + to give to your fathers; +019:009 if you shall keep all this commandment to do it, which I command + you this day, to love Yahweh your God, and to walk ever + in his ways; then shall you add three cities more for you, + besides these three: +019:010 that innocent blood not be shed in the midst of your land, + which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance, + and so blood be on you. +019:011 But if any man hate his neighbor, and lie in wait for him, + and rise up against him, and strike him mortally so that he dies, + and he flee into one of these cities; +019:012 then the elders of his city shall send and bring him there, + and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, + that he may die. +019:013 Your eye shall not pity him, but you shall put away the innocent + blood from Israel, that it may go well with you. +019:014 You shall not remove your neighbor's landmark, which they of old + time have set, in your inheritance which you shall inherit, + in the land that Yahweh your God gives you 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 sins: at the mouth + of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, + shall a matter be established. +019:016 If an unrighteous witness rise up against any man to testify + against him of wrong-doing, +019:017 then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand + before Yahweh, before the priests and the judges who shall + be in those days; +019:018 and the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, + if the witness is a false witness, and has testified falsely + against his brother; +019:019 then shall you do to him, as he had thought to do to his brother: + so shall you put away the evil from the midst of you. +019:020 Those who remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth + commit no more any such evil in the midst of you. +019:021 Your eyes shall not pity; life [shall go] for life, eye for eye, + tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. +020:001 When you go forth to battle against your enemies, and see horses, + and chariots, [and] a people more than you, you shall + not be afraid of them; for Yahweh your God is with you, + who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. +020:002 It shall be, when you draw near to the battle, that the priest + shall approach and speak to the people, +020:003 and shall tell them, Hear, Israel, you draw near this day + to battle against your enemies: don't let your heart faint; + don't be afraid, nor tremble, neither be scared of them; +020:004 for Yahweh your God is he who goes with you, to fight for you + against your enemies, to save you. +020:005 The officers shall speak to the people, saying, What man is + there who has built a new house, and has not dedicated it? let + him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, + and another man dedicate it. +020:006 What man is there who has planted a vineyard, and has not + used the fruit of it? let him go and return to his house, + lest he die in the battle, and another man use the fruit of it. +020:007 What man is there who has pledged to be married a wife, + and has not taken her? let him go and return to his house, + lest he die in the battle, and another man take her. +020:008 The officers shall speak further to the people, and they shall say, + What man is there who is fearful and faint-hearted? let him + go and return to his house, lest his brother's heart melt + as his heart. +020:009 It shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking + to the people, that they shall appoint captains of armies + at the head of the people. +020:010 When you draw near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim + peace to it. +020:011 It shall be, if it make you answer of peace, and open to you, + then it shall be, that all the people who are found therein + shall become tributary to you, and shall serve you. +020:012 If it will make no peace with you, but will make war against you, + then you shall besiege it: +020:013 and when Yahweh your God delivers it into your hand, you shall + strike every male of it with the edge of the sword: +020:014 but the women, and the little ones, and the livestock, + and all that is in the city, even all the spoil of it, + shall you take for a prey to yourself; and you shall eat + the spoil of your enemies, which Yahweh your God has given you. +020:015 Thus shall you do to all the cities which are very far off + from you, which are not of the cities of these nations. +020:016 But of the cities of these peoples, that Yahweh your God gives you + for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes; +020:017 but you shall utterly destroy them: the Hittite, and the Amorite, + the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; + as Yahweh your God has commanded you; +020:018 that they not teach you to do after all their abominations, + which they have done to their gods; so would you sin against + Yahweh your God. +020:019 When you shall besiege a city a long time, in making war + against it to take it, you shall not destroy the trees of it + by wielding an axe against them; for you may eat of them, + and you shall not cut them down; for is the tree of the field man, + that it should be besieged of you? +020:020 Only the trees of which you know that they are not trees + for food, you shall destroy and cut them down; and you shall + build bulwarks against the city that makes war with you, + until it fall. +021:001 If one be found slain in the land which Yahweh your God gives + you to possess it, lying in the field, and it isn't known + who has struck him; +021:002 then your elders and your judges shall come forth, and they shall + measure to the cities which are round about him who is slain: +021:003 and it shall be, that the city which is nearest to the slain man, + even the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, + which hasn't been worked with, and which has not drawn + in the yoke; +021:004 and the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer to a + valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, + and shall break the heifer's neck there in the valley. +021:005 The priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them Yahweh + your God has chosen to minister to him, and to bless in the name + of Yahweh; and according to their word shall every controversy + and every stroke be. +021:006 All the elders of that city, who are nearest to the slain man, + shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken + 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 Forgive, Yahweh, your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, + and don't allow innocent blood [to remain] in the midst + of your people Israel. The blood shall be forgiven them. +021:009 So shall you put away the innocent blood from the midst of you, + when you shall do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh. +021:010 When you go forth to battle against your enemies, and Yahweh + your God delivers them into your hands, and you carry + them away captive, +021:011 and see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you have + a desire to her, and would take her to you as wife; +021:012 then you shall bring her home to your house; and she shall + shave her head, and pare her nails; +021:013 and she shall put the clothing of her captivity from off her, + and shall remain in your house, and bewail her father and her + mother a full month: and after that you shall go in to her, + and be her husband, and she shall be your wife. +021:014 It shall be, if you have no delight in her, then you shall + let her go where she will; but you shall not sell her at + all for money, you shall not deal with her as a slave, + because you have humbled her. +021:015 If a man have two wives, the one beloved, and the other hated, + and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated; + and if the firstborn son be hers who was hated; +021:016 then it shall be, in the day that he causes his sons + to inherit that which he has, that he may not make the son + of the beloved the firstborn before the son of the hated, + who is the firstborn: +021:017 but he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the hated, + by giving him a double portion of all that he has; 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, who will not obey + the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and, + though they chasten him, will not listen to them; +021:019 then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, + and bring him out to the elders of his city, and to the gate + of his place; +021:020 and they shall tell 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 All the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones: + so shall you put away the evil from the midst of you; + and all Israel shall hear, and fear. +021:022 If a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put + to death, and you hang him on a tree; +021:023 his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall + surely bury him the same day; for he who is hanged is accursed + of God; that you don't defile your land which Yahweh your God + gives you for an inheritance. +022:001 You shall not see your brother's ox or his sheep go astray, + and hide yourself from them: you shall surely bring them + again to your brother. +022:002 If your brother isn't near to you, or if you don't know him, + then you shall bring it home to your house, and it shall + be with you until your brother seek after it, and you shall + restore it to him. +022:003 So shall you do with his donkey; and so shall you do with + his garment; and so shall you do with every lost thing + of your brother's, which he has lost, and you have found: + you may not hide yourself. +022:004 You shall not see your brother's donkey or his ox + fallen down by the way, and hide yourself from them: + you shall surely help him to lift them up again. +022:005 A woman shall not wear men's clothing, neither shall a man + put on women's clothing; for whoever does these things is + an abomination to Yahweh your God. +022:006 If a bird's nest chance to be before you in the way, + in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, + and the hen sitting on the young, or on the eggs, you shall + not take the hen with the young: +022:007 you shall surely let the hen go, but the young you may take + to yourself; that it may be well with you, and that you may + prolong your days. +022:008 When you build a new house, then you shall make a battlement + for your roof, that you don't bring blood on your house, + if any man fall from there. +022:009 You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, + lest the whole fruit be forfeited, the seed which you have sown, + and the increase of the vineyard. +022:010 You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together. +022:011 You shall not wear a mixed stuff, wool and linen together. +022:012 You shall make yourselves fringes{or, tassles} on the four + borders of your cloak, with which you cover yourself. +022:013 If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and hates her, +022:014 and accuses her of shameful things, and brings up an evil name + on her, and says, I took this woman, and when I came near to her, + I didn't find in her the tokens of virginity; +022:015 then shall the father of the young lady, and her mother, + take and bring forth the tokens of the young lady's virginity + to the elders of the city in the gate; +022:016 and the young lady's father shall tell the elders, I gave + my daughter to this man to wife, and he hates her; +022:017 and behold, he has laid shameful things [to her charge], saying, + I didn't find in your daughter the tokens of virginity; + and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. + They shall spread the garment before the elders of the city. +022:018 The elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him; +022:019 and they shall fine him one hundred [shekels] of silver, + and give them to the father of the young lady, because he has + brought up an evil name on 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, that the tokens of virginity were + not found in the young lady; +022:021 then they shall bring out the young lady to the door + of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone + her to death with stones, because she has done folly + in Israel, to play the prostitute in her father's house: + so shall you put away the evil from the midst of you. +022:022 If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband, + then they shall both of them die, the man who lay with the woman, + and the woman: so shall you put away the evil from Israel. +022:023 If there be a young lady who is a virgin pledged to be married + to a husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; +022:024 then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, + and you shall stone them to death with stones; + the lady, because she didn't cry, being in the city; + and the man, because he has humbled his neighbor's wife: + so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you. +022:025 But if the man find the lady who is pledged to be married + in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her; + then the man only who lay with her shall die: +022:026 but to the lady you shall do nothing; there is in the lady no sin + worthy of death: for as when a man rises against his neighbor, + and kills him, even so is this matter; +022:027 for he found her in the field, the pledged to be married + lady cried, and there was none to save her. +022:028 If a man find a lady who is a virgin, who is not pledged + to be married, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, + and they be found; +022:029 then the man who lay with her shall give to the lady's father + fifty [shekels] of silver, and she shall be his wife, + because he has humbled her; he may not put her away all his days. +022:030 A man shall not take his father's wife, and shall not uncover + his father's skirt. +023:001 He who is wounded in the stones, or has his privy member cut off, + shall not enter into the assembly of Yahweh. +023:002 A bastard shall not enter into the assembly of Yahweh; + even to the tenth generation shall none of his enter into + the assembly of Yahweh. +023:003 An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly + of Yahweh; even to the tenth generation shall none belonging + to them enter into the assembly of Yahweh forever: +023:004 because they didn't meet you with bread and with water in the way, + when you came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired + against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, + to curse you. +023:005 Nevertheless Yahweh your God wouldn't listen to Balaam; + but Yahweh your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, + because Yahweh your God loved you. +023:006 You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all + your days forever. +023:007 You shall not abhor an Edomite; for he is your brother: + you shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner + in his land. +023:008 The children of the third generation who are born to them + shall enter into the assembly of Yahweh. +023:009 When you go forth in camp against your enemies, then you shall + keep you from every evil thing. +023:010 If there be among you any man, who is not clean by reason + of that which happens 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 comes on, he shall bathe + himself in water; and when the sun is down, he shall come + within the camp. +023:012 You shall have a place also outside of the camp, where you + shall go forth abroad: +023:013 and you shall have a paddle among your weapons; and it shall be, + when you sit down abroad, you shall dig therewith, and shall + turn back and cover that which comes from you: +023:014 for Yahweh your God walks in the midst of your camp, + to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you; + therefore shall your camp be holy, that he may not see + an unclean thing in you, and turn away from you. +023:015 You shall not deliver to his master a servant who is escaped + from his master to you: +023:016 he shall dwell with you, in the midst of you, in the place which + he shall choose within one of your gates, where it pleases him best: + you shall not oppress him. +023:017 There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, + neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel. +023:018 You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the wages + of a dog, into the house of Yahweh your God for any vow: + for even both these are an abomination to Yahweh your God. +023:019 You shall not lend on interest to your brother; interest of money, + interest of food, interest of anything that is lent on interest: +023:020 to a foreigner you may lend on interest; but to your brother + you shall not lend on interest, that Yahweh your God may bless + you in all that you put your hand to, in the land where you + go in to possess it. +023:021 When you shall vow a vow to Yahweh your God, you shall not be slack + to pay it: for Yahweh your God will surely require it of you; + and it would be sin in you. +023:022 But if you shall forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in you. +023:023 That which is gone out of your lips you shall observe and do; + according as you have vowed to Yahweh your God, a freewill offering, + which you have promised with your mouth. +023:024 When you come into your neighbor's vineyard, then you may eat + of grapes your fill at your own pleasure; but you shall not + put any in your vessel. +023:025 When you come into your neighbor's standing grain, then you + may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not move + a sickle to your neighbor's standing grain. +024:001 When a man takes a wife, and marries her, then it shall be, + if she find no favor in his eyes, because he has found some + unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a bill of divorce, + and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. +024:002 When she is departed out of his house, she may go and be + another man's [wife]. +024:003 If the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorce, + and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house; + or if the latter husband die, who took her to be his wife; +024:004 her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again + to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination + before Yahweh: and you shall not cause the land to sin, + which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance. +024:005 When a man takes a new wife, he shall not go out in the army, + neither shall he be charged with any business: + he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife + whom he has taken. +024:006 No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone to pledge; + for he takes [a man's] life to pledge. +024:007 If a man be found stealing any of his brothers of the children + of Israel, and he deal with him as a slave, or sell him; + then that thief shall die: so shall you put away the evil + from the midst of you. +024:008 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that you observe diligently, + and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall + teach you: as I commanded them, so you shall observe to do. +024:009 Remember what Yahweh your God did to Miriam, by the way as you + came forth out of Egypt. +024:010 When you do lend your neighbor any manner of loan, you shall + not go into his house to get his pledge. +024:011 You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you do lend shall + bring forth the pledge outside to you. +024:012 If he be a poor man, you shall not sleep with his pledge; +024:013 you shall surely restore to him the pledge when the sun + goes down, that he may sleep in his garment, and bless you: + and it shall be righteousness to you before Yahweh your God. +024:014 You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, + whether he be of your brothers, or of your foreigners who are + in your land within your gates: +024:015 in his day you shall give him his hire, neither shall the sun + go down on it; for he is poor, and sets his heart on it: + lest he cry against you to Yahweh, and it be sin to you. +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 You shall not wrest the justice [due] to the foreigner, + [or] to the fatherless, nor take the widow's clothing to pledge; +024:018 but you shall remember that you were a bondservant in Egypt, + and Yahweh your God redeemed you there: therefore I command + you to do this thing. +024:019 When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgot + a sheaf in the field, you shall not go again to get it: + it shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for + the widow; that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work + of your hands. +024:020 When you beat your olive tree, you shall not go over the + boughs again: it shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, + and for the widow. +024:021 When you gather [the grapes of] your vineyard, you shall + not glean it after you: it shall be for the foreigner, + for the fatherless, and for the widow. +024:022 You shall remember that you were a bondservant in the land of Egypt: + therefore I command you to do this thing. +025:001 If there be a controversy between men, and they come to judgment, + and [the judges] 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 wickedness, by number. +025:003 Forty stripes he may give him, he shall not exceed; lest, if he + should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, + then your brother should seem vile to you. +025:004 You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out [the grain]. +025:005 If brothers dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, + the wife of the dead shall not be married outside to a stranger: + her husband's brother shall go in to her, and take her to him + as wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her. +025:006 It shall be, that the firstborn whom she bears shall succeed + in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name not be + blotted out of Israel. +025:007 If the man doesn't want to take his brother's wife, then his + brother's wife shall go up to the gate to the elders, and say, + My husband's brother refuses to raise up to his brother + a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband's + brother to me. +025:008 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him: + and if he stand, and say, I don't want to take her; +025:009 then his brother's wife shall come to him in the presence + of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit + in his face; and she shall answer and say, So shall it be done + to the man who does not build up his brother's house. +025:010 His name shall be called in Israel, The house of him who has + his shoe untied. +025:011 When men strive together one with another, and the wife + of the one draws near to deliver her husband out of the hand + of him who strikes him, and puts forth her hand, and takes + him by the secrets; +025:012 then you shall cut off her hand, your eye shall have no pity. +025:013 You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, a great + and a small. +025:014 You shall not have in your house diverse measures, a great + and a small. +025:015 A perfect and just weight shall you have; a perfect and just + measure shall you have: that your days may be long in the land + which Yahweh your God gives you. +025:016 For all who do such things, [even] all who do unrighteously, + are an abomination to Yahweh your God. +025:017 Remember what Amalek did to you by the way as you came forth + out of Egypt; +025:018 how he met you by the way, and struck the hindmost of you, + all who were feeble behind you, when you were faint and weary; + and he didn't fear God. +025:019 Therefore it shall be, when Yahweh your God has given you + rest from all your enemies round about, in the land which + Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it, + that you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky; + you shall not forget. +026:001 It shall be, when you are come in to the land which Yahweh + your God gives you for an inheritance, and possess it, + and dwell therein, +026:002 that you shall take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, + which you shall bring in from your land that Yahweh your God + gives you; and you shall put it in a basket, and shall go + to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, to cause + his name to dwell there. +026:003 You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, + and tell him, I profess this day to Yahweh your God, + that I am come to the land which Yahweh swore to our fathers + to give us. +026:004 The priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it + down before the altar of Yahweh your God. +026:005 You shall answer and say before Yahweh your God, A Syrian + ready to perish was my father; and he went down into Egypt, + and sojourned there, few in number; and he became there + a nation, great, mighty, and populous. +026:006 The Egyptians dealt ill with us, and afflicted us, and laid + on us hard bondage: +026:007 and we cried to Yahweh, the God of our fathers, and Yahweh + heard our voice, and saw our affliction, and our toil, + and our oppression; +026:008 and Yahweh brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, + and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror, + and with signs, and with wonders; +026:009 and he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, + a land flowing with milk and honey. +026:010 Now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, + which you, Yahweh, have given me. You shall set it down + before Yahweh your God, and worship before Yahweh your God. +026:011 You shall rejoice in all the good which Yahweh your God + has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite, + and the foreigner who is in the midst of you. +026:012 When you have made an end of tithing all the tithe of your + increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, + then you shall give it to the Levite, to the foreigner, + to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within + your gates, and be filled. +026:013 You shall say before Yahweh your God, I have put away the holy + things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, + and to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, + according to all your commandment which you have commanded me: + I have not transgressed any of your commandments, neither have + I forgotten them: +026:014 I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I put + away of it, being unclean, nor given of it for the dead: + I have listened to the voice of Yahweh my God; I have done + according to all that you have commanded me. +026:015 Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless + your people Israel, and the ground which you have given us, + as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey. +026:016 This day Yahweh your God commands you to do these statutes + and ordinances: you shall therefore keep and do them with all + your heart, and with all your soul. +026:017 You have declared Yahweh this day to be your God, and that you would + walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, + and his ordinances, and listen to his voice: +026:018 and Yahweh has declared you this day to be a people for his + own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should + keep all his commandments; +026:019 and to make you high above all nations that he has made, + in praise, and in name, and in honor; and that you may be + a holy people to Yahweh your God, as he has spoken. +027:001 Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, + Keep all the commandment which I command you this day. +027:002 It shall be on the day when you shall pass over the Jordan + to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, that you shall + set yourself up great stones, and plaster them with plaster: +027:003 and you shall write on them all the words of this law, when you + are passed over; that you may go in to the land which Yahweh + your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, + as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised you. +027:004 It shall be, when you are passed over the Jordan, that you + shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, + in Mount Ebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster. +027:005 There shall you build an altar to Yahweh your God, an altar + of stones: you shall lift up no iron [tool] on them. +027:006 You shall build the altar of Yahweh your God of uncut stones; + and you shall offer burnt offerings thereon to Yahweh your God: +027:007 and you shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there; + and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God. +027:008 You shall write on the stones all the words of this + law very plainly. +027:009 Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, + Keep silence, and listen, Israel: this day you are become + the people of Yahweh your God. +027:010 You shall therefore obey the voice of Yahweh your God, + and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command + you this day. +027:011 Moses charged the people the same day, saying, +027:012 These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, + when you are passed over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, + and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin. +027:013 These shall stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, + and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. +027:014 The Levites shall answer, and tell all the men of Israel + with a loud voice, +027:015 Cursed be the man who makes an engraved or molten image, + an abomination to Yahweh, the work of the hands of the craftsman, + and sets it up in secret. All the people shall answer + and say, Amen. +027:016 Cursed be he who sets light by his father or his mother. + All the people shall say, Amen. +027:017 Cursed be he who removes his neighbor's landmark. + All the people shall say, Amen. +027:018 Cursed be he who makes the blind to wander out of the way. + All the people shall say, Amen. +027:019 Cursed be he who wrests the justice [due] to the foreigner, + fatherless, and widow. All the people shall say, Amen. +027:020 Cursed be he who lies with his father's wife, because he has + uncovered his father's skirt. All the people shall say, Amen. +027:021 Cursed be he who lies with any manner of animal. + All the people shall say, Amen. +027:022 Cursed be he who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father, + or the daughter of his mother. All the people shall say, Amen. +027:023 Cursed be he who lies with his mother-in-law. All the people + shall say, Amen. +027:024 Cursed be he who strikes his neighbor in secret. + All the people shall say, Amen. +027:025 Cursed be he who takes a bribe to kill an innocent person. + All the people shall say, Amen. +027:026 Cursed be he who doesn't confirm the words of this law to do them. + All the people shall say, Amen. +028:001 It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to the voice + of Yahweh your God, to observe to do all his commandments + which I command you this day, that Yahweh your God will set + you on high above all the nations of the earth: +028:002 and all these blessings shall come on you, and overtake you, + if you shall listen to the voice of Yahweh your God. +028:003 Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be + in the field. +028:004 Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your ground, + and the fruit of your animals, the increase of your livestock, + and the young of your flock. +028:005 Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading trough. +028:006 Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you + be when you go out. +028:007 Yahweh will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be + struck before you: they shall come out against you one way, + and shall flee before you seven ways. +028:008 Yahweh will command the blessing on you in your barns, + and in all that you put your hand to; and he will bless you + in the land which Yahweh your God gives you. +028:009 Yahweh will establish you for a holy people to himself, + as he has sworn to you; if you shall keep the commandments + of Yahweh your God, and walk in his ways. +028:010 All the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called + by the name of Yahweh; and they shall be afraid of you. +028:011 Yahweh will make you plenteous for good, in the fruit of your body, + and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, + in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give you. +028:012 Yahweh will open to you his good treasure in the sky, + to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all + the work of your hand: and you shall lend to many nations, + and you shall not borrow. +028:013 Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail; + and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath; + if you shall listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, + which I command you this day, to observe and to do [them], +028:014 and shall not turn aside from any of the words which I + command you 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 you will not listen to the voice + of Yahweh your God, to observe to do all his commandments + and his statutes which I command you this day, that all + these curses shall come on you, and overtake you. +028:016 Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be + in the field. +028:017 Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading trough. +028:018 Cursed shall be the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your ground, + the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock. +028:019 Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you + be when you go out. +028:020 Yahweh will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke, + in all that you put your hand to do, until you are destroyed, + and until you perish quickly; because of the evil of your doings, + by which you have forsaken me. +028:021 Yahweh will make the pestilence cleave to you, until he has + consumed you from off the land, where you go in to possess it. +028:022 Yahweh will strike you with consumption, and with fever, + and with inflammation, and with fiery heat, and with the sword, + and with blight, and with mildew; and they shall pursue you + until you perish. +028:023 Your sky that is over your head shall be brass, and the earth + that is under you shall be iron. +028:024 Yahweh will make the rain of your land powder and dust: + from the sky shall it come down on you, until you are destroyed. +028:025 Yahweh will cause you to be struck before your enemies; + you shall go out one way against them, and shall flee seven + ways before them: and you shall be tossed back and forth + among all the kingdoms of the earth. +028:026 Your dead body shall be food to all birds of the sky, + and to the animals of the earth; and there shall be none + to frighten them away. +028:027 Yahweh will strike you with the boil of Egypt, and with the tumors, + and with the scurvy, and with the itch, of which you can + not be healed. +028:028 Yahweh will strike you with madness, and with blindness, + and with astonishment of heart; +028:029 and you shall grope at noonday, as the blind gropes + in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways: + and you shall be only oppressed and robbed always, and there + shall be none to save you. +028:030 You shall betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: + you shall build a house, and you shall not dwell therein: + you shall plant a vineyard, and shall not use the fruit of it. +028:031 Your ox shall be slain before your eyes, and you shall + not eat of it: your donkey shall be violently taken away + from before your face, and shall not be restored to you: + your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you shall + have none to save you. +028:032 Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another people; + and your eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all + the day: and there shall be nothing in the power of your hand. +028:033 The fruit of your ground, and all your labors, shall a nation + which you don't know eat up; and you shall be only oppressed + and crushed always; +028:034 so that you shall be mad for the sight of your eyes which + you shall see. +028:035 Yahweh will strike you in the knees, and in the legs, + with a sore boil, of which you can not be healed, from the sole + of your foot to the crown of your head. +028:036 Yahweh will bring you, and your king whom you shall set over you, + to a nation that you have not known, you nor your fathers; + and there shall you serve other gods, wood and stone. +028:037 You shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, + among all the peoples where Yahweh shall lead you away. +028:038 You shall carry much seed out into the field, and shall gather + little in; for the locust shall consume it. +028:039 You shall plant vineyards and dress them, but you shall + neither drink of the wine, nor gather [the grapes]; + for the worm shall eat them. +028:040 You shall have olive trees throughout all your borders, + but you shall not anoint yourself with the oil; for your olive + shall cast [its fruit]. +028:041 You shall father sons and daughters, but they shall not be yours; + for they shall go into captivity. +028:042 All your trees and the fruit of your ground shall the locust possess. +028:043 The foreigner who is in the midst of you shall mount up above + you higher and higher; and you shall come down lower and lower. +028:044 He shall lend to you, and you shall not lend to him: + he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail. +028:045 All these curses shall come on you, and shall pursue you, + and overtake you, until you are destroyed; because you didn't + listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, to keep his commandments + and his statutes which he commanded you: +028:046 and they shall be on you for a sign and for a wonder, + and on your seed forever. +028:047 Because you didn't serve Yahweh your God with joyfulness, + and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance + of all things; +028:048 therefore shall you serve your enemies whom Yahweh shall send + against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, + and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron + on your neck, until he have destroyed you. +028:049 Yahweh will bring a nation against you from far, from the end + of the earth, as the eagle flies; a nation whose language + you shall not understand; +028:050 a nation of fierce facial expressions, that shall not regard + the person of the old, nor show favor to the young, +028:051 and shall eat the fruit of your livestock, and the fruit of + your ground, until you are destroyed; that also shall not leave + you grain, new wine, or oil, the increase of your livestock, + or the young of your flock, until they have caused you to perish. +028:052 They shall besiege you in all your gates, until your high + and fortified walls come down, in which you trusted, + throughout all your land; and they shall besiege you in all + your gates throughout all your land, which Yahweh your God + has given you. +028:053 You shall eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons + and of your daughters, whom Yahweh your God has given you, + in the siege and in the distress with which your enemies + shall distress you. +028:054 The man who 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 whom he has remaining; +028:055 so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his + children whom he shall eat, because he has nothing left him, + in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall + distress you in all your gates. +028:056 The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not adventure + to set the sole of her foot on 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 who comes out from between her feet, + and toward her children whom she shall bear; for she shall + eat them for want of all things secretly, in the siege + and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you + in your gates. +028:058 If you will not observe to do all the words of this law that + are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious + and fearful name, YAHWEH YOUR GOD; +028:059 then Yahweh will make your plagues wonderful, and the plagues + of your seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, + and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. +028:060 He will bring on you again all the diseases of Egypt, + which you were afraid of; and they shall cleave to you. +028:061 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written + in the book of this law, them will Yahweh bring on you, + until you are destroyed. +028:062 You shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the stars + of the sky for multitude; because you didn't listen to the voice + of Yahweh your God. +028:063 It shall happen that as Yahweh rejoiced over you to do you good, + and to multiply you, so Yahweh will rejoice over you to cause + you to perish, and to destroy you; and you shall be plucked + from off the land where you go in to possess it. +028:064 Yahweh will scatter you among all peoples, from the one + end of the earth even to the other end of the earth; + and there you shall serve other gods, which you have not known, + you nor your fathers, even wood and stone. +028:065 Among these nations shall you find no ease, and there + shall be no rest for the sole of your foot: but Yahweh + will give you there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, + and pining of soul; +028:066 and your life shall hang in doubt before you; and you shall + fear night and day, and shall have no assurance of your life. +028:067 In the morning you shall say, Would it were even! and at even + you shall say, Would it were morning! for the fear of your + heart which you shall fear, and for the sight of your eyes + which you shall see. +028:068 Yahweh will bring you into Egypt again with ships, by the way + of which I said to you, You shall see it no more again: + and there you shall sell yourselves to your enemies for + bondservants and for bondmaids, and no man shall buy you. +029:001 These are the words of the covenant which Yahweh commanded + Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, + besides the covenant which he made with them in Horeb. +029:002 Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, You have seen + all that Yahweh did before your eyes in the land of Egypt + to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land; +029:003 the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, + and those great wonders: +029:004 but Yahweh has not given you a heart to know, and eyes to see, + and ears to hear, to this day. +029:005 I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes + have not grown old on you, and your shoe has not grown old + on your foot. +029:006 You have not eaten bread, neither have you drunk wine or strong drink; + that you may know that I am Yahweh your God. +029:007 When you came to this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, + and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us to battle, + and we struck them: +029:008 and we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance + to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe + of the Manassites. +029:009 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, + that you may prosper in all that you do. +029:010 You stand this day all of you before Yahweh your God; + your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, + even all the men of Israel, +029:011 your little ones, your wives, and your foreigner who is + in the midst of your camps, from the one who cuts your wood + to the one who draws your water; +029:012 that you may enter into the covenant of Yahweh your God, + and into his oath, which Yahweh your God makes with you this day; +029:013 that he may establish you this day to himself for a people, + and that he may be to you a God, as he spoke to you, + and as he swore to your 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 who stands here with us this day before Yahweh + our God, and also with him who is not here with us this day +029:016 (for you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came + through the midst of the nations through which you passed; +029:017 and you 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 turns away this day from Yahweh our God, + to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should + be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood; +029:019 and it happen, when he hears the words of this curse, + that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, + though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to destroy + the moist with the dry. +029:020 Yahweh will not pardon him, but then the anger of Yahweh + and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all + the curse that is written in this book shall lie on him, + and Yahweh will blot out his name from under the sky. +029:021 Yahweh will set him apart to evil out of all the tribes of Israel, + according to all the curses of the covenant that is written + in this book of the law. +029:022 The generation to come, your children who shall rise up after you, + and the foreigner who shall come from a far land, shall say, + when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses + with which Yahweh has made it sick; +029:023 [and that] the whole land of it is sulfur, and salt, [and] a burning, + [that] it is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows therein, + like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, + which Yahweh overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath: +029:024 even all the nations shall say, Why has Yahweh done thus + to this land? what means the heat of this great anger? +029:025 Then men shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of Yahweh, + the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought + them forth out of the land of Egypt, +029:026 and went and served other gods, and worshiped them, gods that + they didn't know, and that he had not given to them: +029:027 therefore the anger of Yahweh was kindled against this land, + to bring on it all the curse that is written in this book; +029:028 and Yahweh rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, + and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, + as at this day. +029:029 The secret things belong to Yahweh our God; but the things + that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, + that we may do all the words of this law. +030:001 It shall happen, when all these things are come on you, + the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, + and you shall call them to mind among all the nations, + where Yahweh your God has driven you, +030:002 and shall return to Yahweh your God, and shall obey his voice + according to all that I command you this day, you and your children, + with all your heart, and with all your soul; +030:003 that then Yahweh your God will turn your captivity, and have + compassion on you, and will return and gather you from all + the peoples, where Yahweh your God has scattered you. +030:004 If [any of] your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of + the heavens, from there will Yahweh your God gather you, + and from there he will bring you back: +030:005 and Yahweh your God will bring you into the land which your + fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and he will do + you good, and multiply you above your fathers. +030:006 Yahweh your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart + of your seed, to love Yahweh your God with all your heart, + and with all your soul, that you may live. +030:007 Yahweh your God will put all these curses on your enemies, + and on those who hate you, who persecuted you. +030:008 You shall return and obey the voice of Yahweh, and do all his + commandments which I command you this day. +030:009 Yahweh your God will make you plenteous in all the work + of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit + of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, for good: + for Yahweh will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced + over your fathers; +030:010 if you shall obey the voice of Yahweh your God, to keep his + commandments and his statutes which are written in this book + of the law; if you turn to Yahweh your God with all your heart, + and with all your soul. +030:011 For this commandment which I command you this day, it is not + too hard for you, neither is it far off. +030:012 It is not in heaven, that you should say, Who shall go up + for us to heaven, and bring it to us, and make us to hear it, + that we may do it? +030:013 Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, Who shall go + over the sea for us, and bring it to us, and make us to hear it, + that we may do it? +030:014 But the word is very near to you, in your mouth, and in your heart, + that you may do it. +030:015 Behold, I have set before you this day life and good, + and death and evil; +030:016 in that I command you this day to love Yahweh your God, + to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his + statutes and his ordinances, that you may live and multiply, + and that Yahweh your God may bless you in the land where you + go in to possess it. +030:017 But if your heart turn away, and you will not hear, but shall + be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; +030:018 I denounce to you this day, that you shall surely perish; + you shall not prolong your days in the land, where you pass + over the Jordan to go in to possess it. +030:019 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I + have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: + therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your seed; +030:020 to love Yahweh your God, to obey his voice, and to cleave to him; + for he is your life, and the length of your days; that you + may dwell in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, + to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. +031:001 Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel. +031:002 He said to them, I am one hundred twenty years old this day; + I can no more go out and come in: and Yahweh has said to me, + You shall not go over this Jordan. +031:003 Yahweh your God, he will go over before you; he will destroy + these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them: + [and] Joshua, he shall go over before you, as Yahweh has spoken. +031:004 Yahweh will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings + of the Amorites, and to their land; whom he destroyed. +031:005 Yahweh will deliver them up before you, and you shall do to them + according to all the commandment which I have commanded you. +031:006 Be strong and of good courage, don't be afraid, nor be scared + of them: for Yahweh your God, he it is who does go with you; + he will not fail you, nor forsake you. +031:007 Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of + all Israel, Be strong and of good courage: for you shall + go with this people into the land which Yahweh has sworn + to their fathers to give them; and you shall cause them + to inherit it. +031:008 Yahweh, he it is who does go before you; he will be with you, + he will not fail you, neither forsake you: don't be afraid, + neither be dismayed. +031:009 Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests the sons + of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, + and to all the elders of Israel. +031:010 Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of [every] seven years, + in the set time of the year of release, in the feast of tents, +031:011 when all Israel is come to appear before Yahweh your God + in the place which he shall choose, you shall read this law + before all Israel in their hearing. +031:012 Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, + and your foreigner who is within your gates, that they + may hear, and that they may learn, and fear Yahweh your God, + and observe to do all the words of this law; +031:013 and that their children, who have not known, may hear, + and learn to fear Yahweh your God, as long as you live + in the land where you go over the Jordan to possess it. +031:014 Yahweh said to Moses, Behold, your days approach that you must die: + call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tent of meeting, + that I may give him a charge. Moses and Joshua went, + and presented themselves in the tent of meeting. +031:015 Yahweh appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud: + and the pillar of cloud stood over the door of the Tent. +031:016 Yahweh said to Moses, Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers; + and this people will rise up, and play the prostitute after + the strange gods of the land, where 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 come on them; so that they will say in that day, + Haven't these evils come on us because our God is not among us? +031:018 I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evil which they + shall have worked, in that they are turned to other gods. +031:019 Now therefore write you this song for you, and teach you 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 + swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, + and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat; + then will they turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, + and break my covenant. +031:021 It shall happen, when many evils and troubles are come on them, + that this song shall testify before them as a witness; + for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: + for I know their imagination which they frame this day, + before I have brought them into the land which I swore. +031:022 So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it + the children of Israel. +031:023 He gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, + Be strong and of good courage; for you shall bring + the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them: + and I will be with you. +031:024 It happened, 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, who bore the ark of the covenant + of Yahweh, saying, +031:026 Take this book of the law, and put it by the side of the ark + of the covenant of Yahweh your God, that it may be there + for a witness against you. +031:027 For I know your rebellion, and your stiff neck: behold, while I + am yet alive with you this day, you have been rebellious + against Yahweh; and how much more after my death? +031:028 Assemble to 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 witness against them. +031:029 For I know that after my death you will utterly corrupt yourselves, + and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; + and evil will happen to you in the latter days; because you + will do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke + him to anger through the work of your hands. +031:030 Moses spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words + of this song, until they were finished. +032:001 Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak. Let the earth hear + the words of my mouth. +032:002 My doctrine shall drop as the rain. My speech shall + condense as the dew, as the small rain on the tender grass, + as the showers on the herb. +032:003 For I will proclaim the name of Yahweh. Ascribe greatness + to our God! +032:004 The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice: + a God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right is he. +032:005 They have dealt corruptly with him, [they are] not + his children, [it is] their blemish. [They are] a perverse + and crooked generation. +032:006 Do you thus requite Yahweh, foolish people and unwise? + Isn't he your father who has bought you? He has made you, + and established you. +032:007 Remember the days of old. Consider the years of many generations. + Ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they + will tell you. +032:008 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, + when he separated the children of men, he set the bounds of + the peoples according to the number of the children of Israel. +032:009 For Yahweh's portion is his people. Jacob is the lot + of his inheritance. +032:010 He found him in a desert land, in the waste howling wilderness. + He surrounded him. He cared for him. He kept him as the apple + of his eye. +032:011 As an eagle that stirs up her nest, that flutters over her young, + he spread abroad his wings, he took them, he bore them + on his feathers. +032:012 Yahweh alone led him. There was no foreign god with him. +032:013 He made him ride on the high places of the earth. + He ate the increase of the field. He caused him to suck + honey out of the rock, oil out of the flinty rock; +032:014 Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, with fat of lambs, rams of + the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the finest of the wheat. + Of the blood of the grape you drank wine. +032:015 But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked. You have grown fat. + You have grown thick. You have become sleek. + Then he forsook God who made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock + of his salvation. +032:016 They moved him to jealousy with strange [gods]. They provoked + him to anger with abominations. +032:017 They sacrificed to demons, [which were] no God, to gods + that they didn't know, to new [gods] that came up of late, + which your fathers didn't dread. +032:018 Of the Rock who became your father, you are unmindful, + and have forgotten God who gave you birth. +032:019 Yahweh saw [it], and abhorred [them], because of the provocation + of his sons and his daughters. +032:020 He said, I will hide my face from them. I will see what their + end shall be; for they are a very perverse generation, + children in whom is no faithfulness. +032:021 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God. + They have provoked me to anger with their vanities. + I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people. + I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. +032:022 For a fire is kindled in my anger, Burns to the lowest + Sheol, Devours the earth with its increase, and sets + the foundations of the mountains on fire. +032:023 I will heap evils on them. I will spend my arrows on them. +032:024 [They shall be] wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning + heat and bitter destruction. I will send the teeth of animals + on them, With the poison of crawling things of the dust. +032:025 Outside the sword shall bereave, and in the chambers, terror; on both + young man and virgin, The suckling with the gray-haired man. +032:026 I said, I would scatter them afar. I would make the memory + of them to cease from among men; +032:027 were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, + lest their adversaries should judge wrongly, lest they should say, + Our hand is exalted, Yahweh has not done all this. +032:028 For they are a nation void of counsel. There is no + understanding in them. +032:029 Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they + would consider their latter end! +032:030 How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand + to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and Yahweh had + delivered 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, of the fields of Gomorrah. + Their grapes are grapes of gall, Their clusters are bitter. +032:033 Their wine is the poison of serpents, The cruel venom of asps. +032:034 Isn't this laid up in store with me, sealed up among my treasures? +032:035 Vengeance is mine, and recompense, at the time when their + foot slides; for the day of their calamity is at hand. + The things that are to come on them shall make haste. +032:036 For Yahweh will judge his people, and have compassion + on his servants, when he sees that [their] power is gone, + There is none [remaining], shut up or left at large. +032:037 He will say, Where are their gods, The rock in which + they took refuge; +032:038 Which ate the fat of their sacrifices, And drank the wine + of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you! + Let them be your protection. +032:039 See now that I, even I, am he, There is no god with me. + I kill, and I make alive. I wound, and I heal. + There is no one who can deliver out of my hand. +032:040 For I lift up my hand to heaven, And say, As I live forever, +032:041 if I whet my glittering sword, My hand take hold on judgment; + I will render vengeance to my adversaries, and will recompense + those who hate me. +032:042 I will make my arrows drunk with blood. My sword shall + devour flesh with the blood of the slain and the captives, + from the head of the leaders of the enemy. +032:043 Rejoice, you nations, [with] his people, for he will avenge + the blood of his servants. He will render vengeance + to his adversaries, And will make expiation for his land, + for his people. +032:044 Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears + of the people, he and Joshua the son of Nun. +032:045 Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel; +032:046 He said to them, Set your heart to all the words which I + testify to you this day, which you shall command your children + to observe to do, [even] all the words of this law. +032:047 For it is no vain thing for you; because it is your life, + and through this thing you shall prolong your days in the land, + where you go over the Jordan to possess it. +032:048 Yahweh spoke to Moses that same day, saying, +032:049 Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo, + which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; + and see the land of Canaan, which I give to the children + of Israel for a possession; +032:050 and die on the mountain where you go up, and be gathered + to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor, + and was gathered to his people: +032:051 because you trespassed against me in the midst of the children + of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness + of Zin; because you didn't sanctify me in the midst of + the children of Israel. +032:052 For you shall see the land before you; but you shall not go + there into the land which I give the children of Israel. +033:001 This is the blessing, with which Moses the man of God blessed + the children of Israel before his death. +033:002 He said, Yahweh came from Sinai, And rose from Seir to them. + He shone forth from Mount Paran. He came from the ten thousands + of holy ones. At his right hand was a fiery law for them. +033:003 Yes, he loves the people. All his saints are in your hand. + They sat down at your feet; [Everyone] shall receive + of your words. +033:004 Moses commanded us a law, An inheritance for the assembly of Jacob. +033:005 He was king in Jeshurun, When the heads of the people were gathered, + All the tribes of Israel together. +033:006 Let Reuben live, and not die; Nor let his men be few. +033:007 This is [the blessing] of Judah: and he said, Hear, Yahweh, + the voice of Judah. Bring him in to his people. + With his hands he contended for himself. You shall be a help + against his adversaries. +033:008 Of Levi he said, Your Thummim and your Urim are with your + godly one, whom you proved at Massah, with whom you strove + at the waters of Meribah; +033:009 who said of his father, and of his mother, I have not seen him; + Neither did he acknowledge his brothers, Nor did he know + his own children: For they have observed your word, + and keep your covenant. +033:010 They shall teach Jacob your ordinances, and Israel your law. + They shall put incense before you, and whole burnt offering + on your altar. +033:011 Yahweh, bless his substance. Accept the work of his hands. + Strike through the hips of those who rise up against him, + of those who hate him, that they not rise again. +033:012 Of Benjamin he said, The beloved of Yahweh shall dwell + in safety by him. He covers him all the day long. + He dwells between his shoulders. +033:013 Of Joseph he said, His land is blessed by Yahweh, for the + precious things of the heavens, for the dew, for the deep + that couches beneath, +033:014 for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, for the precious + things of the growth of the moons, +033:015 for the chief things of the ancient mountains, for the precious + things of the everlasting hills, +033:016 for the precious things of the earth and its fullness, + the good will of him who lived in the bush{i. e. + the burning bush of Exodus 3:3-4.}. Let [the blessing] come + on the head of Joseph, On the crown of the head of him who was + separate from his brothers. +033:017 The firstborn of his herd, majesty is his. His horns are + the horns of the wild ox. With them he shall push the peoples + all of them, [even] the ends of the earth: They are the ten + thousands of Ephraim. They are the thousands of Manasseh. +033:018 Of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out; + and Issachar, in your tents. +033:019 They shall call the peoples to the mountain. There they will + offer sacrifices of righteousness, for they shall draw out + the abundance of the seas, the hidden treasures of the sand. +033:020 Of Gad he said, He who enlarges Gad is blessed. + He dwells as a lioness, and tears the arm, yes, the crown + of the head. +033:021 He provided the first part for himself, for there was the lawgiver's + portion reserved. He came [with] the heads of the people. + He executed the righteousness of Yahweh, His ordinances with Israel. +033:022 Of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's cub that leaps out of Bashan. +033:023 Of Naphtali he said, Naphtali, satisfied with favor, full of + the blessing of Yahweh, Possess the west and the south. +033:024 Of Asher he said, Asher is blessed with children. + Let him be acceptable to his brothers. Let him dip his + foot in oil. +033:025 Your bars shall be iron and brass. As your days, so shall + your strength be. +033:026 There is none like God, Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens + for your help, In his excellency on the skies. +033:027 The eternal God is [your] dwelling place. Underneath are + the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, + and said, Destroy. +033:028 Israel dwells in safety; the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land + of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew. +033:029 You are happy, Israel. Who is like you, a people saved by Yahweh, + the shield of your help, the sword of your excellency! + Your enemies shall submit themselves to you. You shall tread + on their high places. +034:001 Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, + to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. + Yahweh showed him all the land of Gilead, to Dan, +034:002 and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, + and all the land of Judah, to the hinder sea, +034:003 and the South, and the Plain of the valley of Jericho the city + of palm trees, to Zoar. +034:004 Yahweh said to him, This is the land which I swore to Abraham, + to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed: + I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall + not go over there. +034:005 So Moses the servant of Yahweh died there in the land of Moab, + according to the word of Yahweh. +034:006 He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab over against + Beth Peor: but no man knows of his tomb to this day. +034:007 Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died: + his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. +034:008 The children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab + thirty days: so the days of weeping in the mourning for + Moses were ended. +034:009 Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; + for Moses had laid his hands on him: and the children of Israel + listened to him, and did as Yahweh commanded Moses. +034:010 There has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, + whom Yahweh knew face to face, +034:011 in all the signs and the wonders, which Yahweh 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 the mighty hand, and in all the great terror, + which Moses worked in the sight of all Israel. + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE WORLD ENGLISH BIBLE (WEB): DEUTERONOMY *** + +This file should be named 8232.txt or 8232.zip + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
