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