The next file is: DEUTERONOMY
1:1 These [are] the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on the
 east side of Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over
 against Suf, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and
 Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
1:2 ([There are] eleven days [journey] from Horeb by the way of
 mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea.)
1:3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh
 month, on the first [day] of the month, [that] Moses spoke to
 the children of Israel, according to all that the LORD had
 given him in commandment to them;
1:4 After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt
 in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt at Astaroth in
 Edrei:
1:5 On the east side of Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses
 to declare this law, saying,
1:6 The LORD our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt
 long enough in this mount:
1:7 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the
 Amorites, and to all [the places] nigh to it, in the plain, on
 the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the
 sea-side, to the land of the Canaanites, and to Lebanon, to the
 great river, the river Euphrates.
1:8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess
 the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac,
 and Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them.
1:9 And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I am not able to
 bear you myself alone:
1:10 The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and behold, ye [are]
 this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
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!)
1:12 How can I alone bear your encumbrance, and your burden, and
 your strife?
1:13 Take ye wise men, and understanding, and known among your
 tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
1:14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast
 spoken [is] good [for us] to do.
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.
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.
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 to me, and I will hear it.
1:18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye
 should do.
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.
1:20 And I said to you, Ye have come to the mountain of the
 Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give to us.
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
 to thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
1:22 And ye came near to me every one of you, and said, We will
 send men before us, and they shall explore the land for us, and
 bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what
 cities we shall come.
1:23 And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of
 you, one of a tribe:
1:24 And they turned and ascended the mountain, and came to the
 valley of Eshcol, and explored it.
1:25 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and
 brought [it] down to us, and brought us word again, and said,
 [It is] a good land which the LORD our God doth give us.
1:26 Notwithstanding, ye would not go up, but rebelled against
 the commandment of the LORD your God:
1:27 And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD
 hated us, he hath brought us forth from the land of Egypt, to
 deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
1:28 Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our
 heart, saying, The people [are] 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.
1:29 Then I said to you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
1:30 The LORD your God who goeth before you; he shall fight for
 you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your
 eyes;
1:31 And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how the LORD
 thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way
 that ye went, until ye came into this place.
1:32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,
1:33 Who went in the way before you, to search out for you a
 place to pitch your tents [in], in fire by night, to show you
 by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
1:34 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth,
 and swore, saying,
1:35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil
 generation see that good land, which I swore to give to your
 fathers,
1:36 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to
 him will I give the land that he hath trod upon, and to his
 children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.
1:37 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying,
 Thou also shalt not go in thither.
1:38 [But] Joshua the son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he
 shall go in thither. Encourage him: for he shall cause Israel
 to inherit it.
1:39 Moreover, your little ones, which ye said should be a prey,
 and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between
 good and evil, they shall go in thither, and to them will I
 give it, and they shall possess it.
1:40 But [as for] you, turn ye, and take your journey into the
 wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
1:41 Then ye answered and said to 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 ascend the hill.
1:42 And the LORD said to me, Say to them, Go not up, neither
 fight; for I [am] not among you; lest ye be smitten before your
 enemies.
1:43 So I spoke to you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled
 against the commandment of the LORD, and presumptuously
 ascended the hill.
1:44 And the Amorites, who dwelt on that mountain, came out
 against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in
 Seir, [even] to Hormah.
1:45 And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD
 would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear to you.
1:46 So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according to the days that
 ye abode [there].
2:1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by
 the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spoke to me: and we
 compassed mount Seir many days.
2:2 And the LORD spoke to me, saying,
2:3 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you
 northward.
2:4 And command thou the people, saying, Ye [are] to pass
 through the border of your brethren the children of Esau, who
 dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you: therefore take
 ye good heed to yourselves:
2:5 Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land,
 no, not so much as a foot-breadth; because I have given mount
 Seir to Esau [for] a possession.
2:6 Ye shall buy food of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye
 shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.
2:7 For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the 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.
2:8 And when we passed by from our brethren the children of
 Esau, who 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.
2:9 And the LORD said to 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 to the
 children of Lot [for] a possession.
2:10 (The Emims dwelt in it in times past, a people great, and
 many, and tall as the Anakims;
2:11 Who also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the
 Moabites call them Emims.
2:12 The Horims also dwelt formerly in Seir, but the children of
 Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before
 them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did to the land of
 his possession, which the LORD gave to them.)
2:13 Now rise, [said I], and pass over the brook Zered: and we
 went over the brook Zered.
2:14 And the space in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we
 passed the brook Zered, [was] thirty and eight years; until all
 the generation of the men of war were wasted from among the
 host, as the LORD swore to them.
2:15 For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to
 destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.
2:16 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed
 and dead from among the people,
2:17 That the LORD spoke to me, saying,
2:18 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this
 day:
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 to the children of Lot
 [for] a possession.
2:20 (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt in
 it in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
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:
2:22 As he did to the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, when
 he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded
 them, and dwelt in their stead even to this day:
2:23 And the Avims who dwelt in Hazerim [even] to Azzah, the
 Caphtorims, who came forth from Caphtor, destroyed them, and
 dwelt in their stead.)
2:24 Arise ye, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon:
 behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the Amorite, king of
 Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess [it], and contend with
 him in battle.
2:25 This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear
 of thee upon the nations [that are] under the whole heaven, who
 shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish
 because of thee.
2:26 And I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to
 Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
2:27 Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the
 highway, I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left.
2:28 Thou shalt sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give
 me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through
 on my feet;
2:29 (As the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the
 Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me;) until I shall pass over
 Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.
2:30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for
 the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart
 obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as
 [appeareth] this day.
2:31 And the LORD said to me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon
 and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest
 inherit his land.
2:32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to
 fight at Jahaz.
2:33 And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote
 him, and his sons, and all his people.
2:34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly
 destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones of every
 city, we left none to remain.
2:35 Only the cattle we took for a prey to ourselves, and the
 spoil of the cities which we took.
2:36 From Aroer, which [is] by the brink of the river of Arnon,
 and [from] the city that [is] by the river, even to Gilead,
 there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God
 delivered all to us:
2:37 Only to the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not,
 [nor] to any place of the river Jabbok, nor to the cities on
 the mountains, nor to whatever the LORD our God forbad us.
3:1 Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the
 king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to
 battle at Edrei.
3:2 And the LORD said to me, Fear him not: for I will deliver
 him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou
 shalt do to him as thou didst to Sihon king of the Amorites,
 who dwelt at Heshbon.
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.
3:4 And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a
 city which we took not from them, sixty cities, all the region
 of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
3:5 All these cities [were] fortified with high walls, gates,
 and bars; besides unwalled towns a great number.
3:6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of
 Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children of
 every city.
3:7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for
 a prey to ourselves.
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 of Jordan, from
 the river of Arnon to mount Hermon;
3:9 ([Which] Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites
 call it Shenir;)
3:10 All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all
 Bashan, to Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in
 Bashan.
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 of it, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the
 cubit of a man.
3:12 And this land, [which] we possessed at that time, from
 Aroer, which [is] by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead,
 and its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
3:13 And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, [being] the kingdom
 of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh; all the region of
 Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.
3:14 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob, to
 the borders of Geshuri, and Maachathi; and called them after
 his own name, Bashan-havoth-jair, to this day.
3:15 And I gave Gilead to Machir.
3:16 And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead
 even to the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even to
 the river Jabbok, [which is] the border of the children of
 Ammon:
3:17 The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast [of it], from
 Chinnereth even to the sea of the plain, [even] the salt-sea,
 under Ashdoth-pisgah eastward.
3:18 And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God
 hath given you this land to possess it; ye shall pass over
 armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all [that
 are] meet for the war.
3:19 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle,
 ([for] I know that ye have many cattle,) shall abide in your
 cities which I have given you;
3:20 Until the LORD shall have given rest to your brethren, as
 well as to 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 to his possession which I have given
 you.
3:21 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thy eyes have
 seen all that the LORD your God hath done to these two kings:
 so shall the LORD do to all the kingdoms whither thou passest.
3:22 Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall
 fight for you.
3:23 And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,
3:24 O LORD God, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy
 greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God [is there] in
 heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and
 according to thy might?
3:25 I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that
 [is] beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.
3:26 But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would
 not hear me: and the LORD said to me, Let it suffice thee;
 speak no more to me of this matter.
3:27 Ascend to the top of Pisgah, and lift up thy eyes westward,
 and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold with thy
 eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
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.
3:29 So we abode in the valley over against Beth-peor.
4:1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, to the statutes and to the
 judgments, which I teach you, to do [them], that ye may live,
 and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your
 fathers giveth you.
4:2 Ye shall not add to the word which I command you, neither
 shall ye diminish [aught] from it, that ye may keep the
 commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
4:3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baal-peor:
 for all the men that followed Baal-peor, the LORD thy God hath
 destroyed them from among you.
4:4 But ye who adhered to the LORD your God, [are] alive every
 one of you this day.
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.
4:6 Keep therefore and do [them]; for this [is] your wisdom and
 your understanding in the sight of the nations, which will hear
 all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation [is] a
 wise and understanding people.
4:7 For what nation [is there so] great, which [hath] God [so]
 nigh to them, as the LORD our God [is] in all [things that] we
 call upon him [for]?
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?
4:9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently,
 lest thou shouldst forget the things which thy eyes have seen,
 and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life:
 but teach them to thy sons, and thy sons' sons:
4:10 [Specially] the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy
 God in Horeb, when the LORD said to me, Assemble the people to
 me, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to
 fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and
 [that] they may teach their children.
4:11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the
 mountain burned with fire to the midst of heaven, with
 darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.
4:12 And the LORD spoke to you out of the midst of the fire: ye
 heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only [ye
 heard] a voice.
4:13 And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you
 to perform, [even] ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two
 tables of stone.
4:14 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you
 statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land
 whither ye go over to possess it.
4:15 Take ye therefore good heed to yourselves; for ye saw no
 manner of similitude on the day [that] the LORD spoke to you in
 Horeb out of the midst of the fire;
4:16 Lest ye corrupt [yourselves], and make to you a graven
 image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or
 female,
4:17 The likeness of any beast that [is] on the earth, the
 likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
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:
4:19 And lest thou shouldst lift up thy eyes to heaven, and when
 thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, [even] all the
 host of heaven, shouldst be driven to worship them, and serve
 them, which the LORD thy God hath divided to all nations under
 the whole heaven.
4:20 But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you out of the
 iron furnace, [even] from Egypt, to be to him a people of
 inheritance, as [ye are] this day.
4:21 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and
 swore that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not
 enter that good land which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for]
 an inheritance:
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.
4:23 Take heed to 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.
4:24 For the LORD thy God [is] a consuming fire, [even] a
 jealous God.
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:
4:26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day,
 that ye shall soon utterly perish from the land to which ye go
 over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong [your] days
 upon it, but shall be utterly destroyed.
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.
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.
4:29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou
 shalt find [him], if thou shalt seek him with all thy heart,
 and with all thy soul.
4:30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things have
 come upon thee, [even] in the latter days, if thou shalt turn
 to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient to his voice;
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 swore to them.
4:32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before
 thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and
 [ask] from the one side of heaven to the other, whether there
 hath been [any such thing] as this great thing [is], or hath
 been heard like it?
4:33 Did [ever] people hear the voice of God speaking from the
 midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
4:34 Or hath God essayed 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 an
 out-stretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that
 the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
4:35 To thee it was shown, that thou mightest know that the LORD
 he [is] God; [there is] none besides him.
4:36 Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might
 instruct thee; and upon earth he showed thee his great fire;
 and thou heardst his words from the midst of the fire.
4:37 And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their
 seed after them, and brought thee out of Egypt in his sight
 with his mighty power.
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.
4:39 Know therefore this day, and consider [it] in thy heart,
 that the LORD he [is] God in heaven above, and upon the earth
 beneath: [there is] none else.
4:40 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes and his commandments
 which I command thee this day, that it may be 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.
4:41 Then Moses set apart three cities on the side of Jordan,
 towards the sun-rising;
4:42 That the slayer might flee thither, who should kill his
 neighbor unawares, and when he had not hated him in times past;
 and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live:
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.
4:44 And this [is] the law which Moses set before the children
 of Israel.
4:45 These [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the
 judgments, which Moses spoke to the children of Israel, after
 they came forth from Egypt,
4:46 On the east side of 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 had come forth from Egypt:
4:47 And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of
 Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, who [were] on the side of
 Jordan, towards the sun-rising;
4:48 From Aroer, which [is] by the bank of the river Arnon, even
 to mount Sion, which [is] Hermon,
4:49 And all the plain on the side of Jordan eastward, even to
 the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
5:1 And Moses called all Israel, and said to 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.
5:2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
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.
5:4 The LORD talked with you face to face on the mount, from the
 midst of the fire,
5:5 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you
 the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire,
 and went not up upon the mount;) saying,
5:6 I [am] the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of
 Egypt, from the house of bondage.
5:7 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
5:8 Thou shalt not make for thee [any] graven image, [or] any
 likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is]
 on the earth beneath, or that [is] in the waters beneath the
 earth:
5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for
 I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of
 the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth
 [generation] of them that hate me,
5:10 And showing mercy to thousands of them that love me, and
 keep my commandments.
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.
5:12 Keep the sabbath-day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God
 hath commanded thee.
5:13 Six days thou shalt labor, and do all thy work:
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 man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy
 ox, nor thy ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that
 [is] within thy gates; that thy man-servant and thy
 maid-servant may rest as well as thou.
5:15 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt,
 and [that] the LORD thy God brought thee out thence with a
 mighty hand and by an out-stretched arm: therefore the LORD thy
 God commanded thee to keep the sabbath-day.
5:16 Honor thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath
 commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may
 be well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth
 thee.
5:17 Thou shalt not kill.
5:18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
5:19 Neither shalt thou steal.
5:20 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor.
5:21 Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor's wife, neither
 shalt thou covet thy neighbor's house, his field, or his
 man-servant, or his maid-servant, his ox, or his ass, or any
 [thing] that [is] thy neighbor's.
5:22 These words the LORD spoke to all your assembly on the
 mount from 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 to me.
5:23 And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice from the midst
 of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye
 came near to me, [even] all the heads of your tribes, and your
 elders;
5:24 And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath shown us his
 glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice from the
 midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk
 with man, and he liveth.
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.
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?
5:27 Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say;
 and speak thou to us all that the LORD our God shall speak to
 thee; and we will hear [it], and do [it].
5:28 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spoke
 to me; and the LORD said to me, I have heard the voice of the
 words of this people, which they have spoke to thee: they have
 well said all that they have spoken.
5:29 O that there were such a heart in them, that they would
 fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be
 well with them, and with their children for ever!
5:30 Go, say to them, Return to your tents again.
5:31 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak to
 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.
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.
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.
6:1 Now these [are] the commandments, the statutes, and the
 judgments which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that
 ye may do [them] in the land whither ye go to possess it:
6:2 That thou mayst 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.
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.
6:4 Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God [is] one LORD:
6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and
 with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6:6 And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in
 thy heart:
6:7 And thou shalt teach them diligently to thy children, and
 shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when
 thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when
 thou risest up.
6:8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they
 shall be as frontlets between thy eyes.
6:9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and
 on thy gates.
6:10 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought
 thee into the land which he swore to thy fathers, to Abraham,
 to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities,
 which thou didst not build,
6:11 And houses full of all good [things], which thou didst not
 fill, and wells digged, which thou didst not dig, vineyards and
 olive-trees, which thou didst not plant; when thou shalt have
 eaten and be full;
6:12 [Then] beware lest thou shouldst forget the LORD, who
 brought thee forth from the land of Egypt, from the house of
 bondage.
6:13 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt
 swear by his name.
6:14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people
 which [are] around you;
6:15 (For the LORD thy God [is] a jealous God among you) lest
 the anger of the LORD thy God should be kindled against thee,
 and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
6:16 Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted [him]
 in Massah.
6:17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your
 God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath
 commanded thee.
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 swore to
 thy fathers,
6:19 To cast out all thy enemies from before thee, as the LORD
 hath spoken.
6:20 [And] when thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying,
 What [mean] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the
 judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you?
6:21 Then thou shalt say to thy son, We were Pharoah's bond-men
 in Egypt: and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty
 hand:
6:22 And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and
 distressing, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his
 household, before our eyes:
6:23 And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us
 in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.
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.
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.
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 Perrizites, and the Hivites, and the
 Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
7:2 And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee,
 thou shalt smite them [and] utterly destroy them, thou shalt
 make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them:
7:3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter
 thou shalt not give to his son, nor his daughter shalt thou
 take to thy son.
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.
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.
7:6 For thou [art] a holy people to the LORD thy God: the LORD
 thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people to himself,
 above all people that [are] upon the face of the earth.
7:7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you,
 because ye were more in number than any people; for ye [were]
 the fewest of all people:
7:8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep
 the oath which he had sworn to your fathers, hath the LORD
 brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the
 house of bond-men, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
7:9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he [is] God, the
 faithful God, who keepeth covenant and mercy with them that
 love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations:
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.
7:11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the
 statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to
 do them.
7:12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these
 judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God will
 keep to thee the covenant and the mercy which he swore to thy
 fathers:
7:13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee:
 he will also bless thy children, and the fruit of thy land, thy
 corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, the increase of thy kine, and
 the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he swore to thy
 fathers to give thee.
7:14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be
 male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
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.
7:16 And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy
 God shall deliver to thee; thy eye shall have no pity upon
 them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that [will be] a
 snare to thee.
7:17 If thou shalt say in thy heart, These nations [are] more
 than I, how can I dispossess them?
7:18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: [but] shalt well remember
 what the LORD thy God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt;
7:19 The great temptations which thy eyes saw, and the signs,
 and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the out-stretched
 arm, by which the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the
 LORD thy God do to all the people of whom thou art afraid.
7:20 Moreover, the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them,
 until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, shall
 be destroyed.
7:21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God
 [is] among you, a mighty God and terrible.
7:22 And the LORD thy God will drive 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.
7:23 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them to thee, and shall
 destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they are
 destroyed.
7:24 And he shall deliver their kings into thy hand, and thou
 shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man
 be able to stand before thee, until thou shalt have destroyed
 them.
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] to thee, lest thou shouldst be snared in it: for it
 [is] an abomination to the LORD thy God.
7:26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thy house,
 lest thou shouldst be a cursed thing like it: [but] thou shalt
 utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it [is]
 a cursed thing.
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 swore to your fathers.
8:2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God
 hath led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble
 thee, [and] to prove thee, to know what [was] in thy heart,
 whether thou wouldst keep his commandments, or not.
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.
8:4 Thy raiment hath not become old upon thee, neither hath thy
 foot swelled these forty years.
8:5 Thou shalt also consider in thy heart, that as a man
 chasteneth his son, [so] the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
8:6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy
 God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
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;
8:8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig-trees, and
 pomegranates, a land of olive-oil, and honey;
8:9 A land in which 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.
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.
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:
8:12 Lest [when] thou hast eaten, and art full, and hast built
 goodly houses, and dwelt [in them];
8:13 And [when] thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy
 silver and thy gold are increased, and all that thou hast is
 increased;
8:14 Then thy heart shall be lifted up, and thou shalt forget
 the LORD thy God (who brought thee out of the land of Egypt,
 from the house of bondage;)
8:15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness,
 [in which were] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drouth,
 where [there was] no water; who brought thee forth water out of
 the rock of flint;
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.
8:17 And thou shalt say in thy heart, My power and the might of
 my hand hath gotten me this wealth.
8:18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for [it is] he
 that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his
 covenant which he swore to thy fathers, as [it is] this day.
8:19 And it shall be, if thou shalt 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.
8:20 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face,
 so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient to the
 voice of the LORD your God.
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 fortified up to heaven,
9:2 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom
 thou knowest, and [of whom] thou hast heard [it said], Who can
 stand before the children of Anak!
9:3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God [is] he
 who 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 to thee.
9:4 Speak not thou in thy 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.
9:5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy
 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 swore to thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
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 stiff-necked people.
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 from the land of Egypt, until ye came to this place, ye
 have been rebellious against the LORD.
9:8 Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the
 LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.
9:9 When I ascended 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 ate bread, nor drank water:
9:10 And the LORD delivered to me two tables of stone written
 with the finger of God; and on them [was written] according to
 all the words which the LORD spoke with you in the mount, from
 the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly.
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.
9:12 And the LORD said to me, Arise, go down quickly from hence;
 for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have
 corrupted [themselves]; they are quickly turned aside from the
 way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
9:13 Furthermore, the LORD spoke to me, saying, I have seen this
 people, and behold, it [is] a stiff-necked people:
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.
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.
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 from the way which the LORD had commanded you.
9:17 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two
 hands, and broke them before your eyes.
9:18 And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty
 days and forty nights: I neither ate bread, nor drank water,
 because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in
 the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
9:19 (For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with
 which the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you.) But the
 LORD hearkened to me at that time also.
9:20 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed
 him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
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 of it
 into the brook that descended from the mount.
9:22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and Kibroth-hattaavah, ye
 provoked the LORD to wrath.
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.
9:24 Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that
 I knew you.
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.
9:26 I prayed therefore to the LORD, and said, O LORD God,
 destroy not thy people and thy inheritance, which thou hast
 redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth
 out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
9:27 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not
 to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness,
 nor to their sin:
9:28 Lest the land from which thou hast brought us should 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.
9:29 Yet they [are] thy people and thy inheritance which thou
 hast brought out by thy mighty power and by thy out-stretched
 arm.
10:1 At that time the LORD said to me, Hew thee two tables of
 stone like the first, and come up to me upon the mount, and
 make thee an ark of wood.
10:2 And I will write on the tables the words that were in the
 first tables which thou didst break, and thou shalt put them in
 the ark.
10:3 And I made an ark [of] shittim wood, and hewed two tables
 of stone like the first, and ascended the mount, having the two
 tables in my hand.
10:4 And he wrote on the tables according to the first writing,
 the ten commandments, which the LORD spoke to you in the mount,
 from the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly: and the
 LORD gave them to me.
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 are, as
 the LORD commanded me.
10:6 And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth
 of the children of Jakan to Mosira: there Aaron died, and there
 he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's
 office in his stead.
10:7 From thence they journeyed to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah
 to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.
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 to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.
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.
10:10 And I stayed in the mount, according to the first-time,
 forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened to me at
 that time also, [and] the LORD would not destroy thee.
10:11 And the LORD said to me, Arise, take [thy] journey before
 the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I
 swore to their fathers to give to them.
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,
10:13 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes,
 which I command thee this day for thy good?
10:14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens belongeth to
 the LORD thy God, the earth [also], with all that it contains.
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.
10:16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no
 more stiff-necked.
10:17 For the LORD your God [is] God of gods, and Lord of lords,
 a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, who regardeth not
 persons, nor taketh reward:
10:18 He executeth the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and
 loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
10:19 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in
 the land of Egypt.
10:20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve,
 and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
10:21 He [is] thy praise, and he [is] thy God, that hath done
 for thee these great and terrible things which thy eyes have
 seen.
10:22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and
 now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for
 multitude.
11:1 Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his
 charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his
 commandments, always.
11:2 And know ye this day: for [I speak] not with your children
 who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of
 the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his
 out-stretched arm,
11:3 And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst
 of Egypt, to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to all his land;
11:4 And what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and
 to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to
 overflow them as they pursued after you, and [how] the LORD
 hath destroyed them to this day;
11:5 And what he did to you in the wilderness, until ye came to
 this place;
11:6 And what he did to 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:
11:7 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD
 which he did.
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;
11:9 And that ye may prolong [your] days in the land which the
 LORD swore to your fathers to give to them, and to their seed,
 a land that floweth with milk and honey.
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
 didst sow thy seed, and water [it] with thy foot, as a garden
 of herbs:
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:
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 to the end of the year.
11:13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently
 to 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,
11:14 That I will give [you] the rain of your land in its due
 season, the former rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest
 gather in thy corn, and thy wine and thy oil.
11:15 And I will give grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that
 thou mayest eat and be full.
11:16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived,
 and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
11:17 And [then] the LORD'S wrath shall be kindled against you,
 and he shall shut up the heaven, that there shall be no rain,
 and the land shall not yield her fruit; and [lest] ye perish
 quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.
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.
11:19 And ye shall teach them to your children, speaking of them
 when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the
 way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
11:20 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thy
 house, and upon thy gates:
11:21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your
 children, in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to
 give to them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
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 to him;
11:23 Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before
 you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than
 yourselves.
11:24 Every place on which the soles of your feet shall tread
 shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the
 river, the river Euphrates, even to the uttermost sea shall
 your limit be.
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 to
 you.
11:26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:
11:27 A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your
 God which I command you this day;
11:28 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the
 LORD your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you
 this day, to go after other gods which ye have not known.
11:29 And it shall come to pass when the LORD thy God hath
 brought thee in to the land whither thou goest to possess it,
 that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the
 curse upon mount Ebal.
11:30 [Are] they not on the other side of Jordan, by the way
 where the sun goeth down in the land of the Canaanites, who
 dwell in the plain over against Gilgal, beside the plains of
 Moreh?
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 in it.
11:32 And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments
 which I set before you this day.
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.
12:2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places in which the
 nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high
 mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:
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.
12:4 Ye shall not do so to the LORD your God.
12:5 But the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of
 all your tribes to put his name there, [even] his habitation
 shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:
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 free-will-offerings, and the firstlings
 of your herds, and of your flocks:
12:7 And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye
 shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand to, ye and your
 households, in which the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.
12:8 Ye shall not do after all [the things] that we do here this
 day, every man whatever [is] right in his own eyes.
12:9 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the
 inheritance which the LORD your God giveth you.
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 on every side, so that ye dwell
 in safety:
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 to the LORD:
12:12 And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and
 your sons, and your daughters, and your men-servants, and your
 maid-servants, and the Levite that [is] within your gates;
 forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.
12:13 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy
 burnt-offerings in every place that thou seest:
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.
12:15 Notwithstanding, thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy
 gates, whatever thy soul desireth, according to the blessing of
 the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the
 clean may eat of it as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.
12:16 Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the
 earth as water.
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 free-will-offerings, or heave-offering of thy hand:
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 man-servant, and thy maid-servant,
 and the Levite that [is] within thy gates: and thou shalt
 rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine
 hands to.
12:19 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as
 long as thou livest upon the earth.
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, whatever
 thy soul desireth.
12:21 If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his
 name there, shall 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 whatever
 thy soul desireth.
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.
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.
12:24 Thou shalt not eat it: thou shalt pour it upon the earth
 as water.
12:25 Thou shalt not eat it; that it may be well with thee, and
 with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do [that which
 is] right in the sight of the LORD.
12:26 Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou
 shalt take, and go to the place which the LORD shall choose:
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.
12:28 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee,
 that it may be 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.
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;
12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following
 them, after that they are destroyed from before thee; and that
 thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these
 nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
12:31 Thou shalt not do so to the LORD thy God; for every
 abomination to the LORD which he hateth have they done to their
 gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt
 in the fire to their gods.
12:32 Whatever thing I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt
 not add to it, nor diminish from it.
13:1 If there shall arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of
 dreams, and give thee a sign or a wonder.
13:2 And the sign or the wonder shall come to pass, of which he
 spoke to thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou
 hast not known, and let us serve them;
13:3 Thou shalt not hearken to 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.
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 to him.
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, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and
 redeemed you from the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of
 the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So
 shalt thou remove the evil from the midst of thee.
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, who [is] as
 thy own soul, shall entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and
 serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy
 fathers;
13:7 [Namely], of the gods of the people who [are] around you,
 nigh to thee, or far off from thee, from [one] end of the earth
 even to the [other] end of the earth;
13:8 Thou shalt not consent to him, nor hearken to him; neither
 shall thy eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt
 thou conceal him:
13:9 But thou shalt surely kill him; thy hand shall be first
 upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all
 the people.
13:10 And thou shalt stone him with stones that he shall die;
 because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy
 God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt from the house
 of bondage.
13:11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more
 any such wickedness as this is, among you.
13:12 If thou shalt hear, in one of thy cities, which the LORD
 thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,
13:13 [Certain] men, the children of Belial, have 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;
13:14 Then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask
 diligently; and behold, [if it is] truth, [and] the thing
 certain, [that] such abomination is wrought among you;
13:15 Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with
 the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that [is]
 in it, and its cattle, with the edge of the sword.
13:16 And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst
 of its street, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the
 spoil of it every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be a
 heap forever; it shalt not be built again.
13:17 And there shall cleave naught of the cursed thing to thy
 hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger,
 and show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and
 multiply thee, as he hath sworn to thy fathers;
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.
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.
14:2 For thou [art] a holy people to the LORD thy God, and the
 LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people to himself, above
 all the nations that [are] upon the earth.
14:3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
14:4 These [are] the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the
 sheep, and the goat,
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.
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.
14:7 Nevertheless, these ye shall not eat, of them that chew the
 cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; the camel, and the
 hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the
 hoof; [therefore] they [are] unclean to you.
14:8 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth
 not the cud, [is] unclean to you: ye shall not eat of their
 flesh, nor touch their dead carcass.
14:9 These ye shall eat, of all that [are] in the waters: all
 that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
14:10 And whatever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it
 [is] unclean to you.
14:11 [Of] all clean birds ye shall eat.
14:12 But these [are they] of which ye shall not eat: the eagle,
 and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
14:13 And the glede, and the kite, and the vultur after his
 kind,
14:14 And every raven after his kind,
14:15 And the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckow, and the
 hawk after his kind,
14:16 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
14:17 And the pelican, and the gier-eagle, and the cormorant,
14:18 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the
 lapwing, and the bat.
14:19 And every creeping animal that flieth [is] unclean to you:
 they shall not be eaten.
14:20 [But of] all clean fowls ye may eat.
14:21 Ye shall not eat [of] any thing that dieth of itself: thou
 shalt give it to the stranger that [is] in thy gates, that he
 may eat it; or thou mayest sell it to an alien: for thou [art]
 a holy people to the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid
 in his mother's milk.
14:22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that
 the field bringeth forth year by year.
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 thy oil, and the firstlings of thy
 herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the
 LORD thy God always.
14:24 And if the way is too long for thee, so that thou art not
 able to carry it; [or] if the place is too far from thee, which
 the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the
 LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
14:25 Then shalt thou turn [it] into money, and bind up the
 money in thy hand, and shalt go to the place which the LORD thy
 God shall choose:
14:26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatever thy soul
 desireth, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong
 drink, or for whatever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat
 there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou,
 and thy household.
14:27 And the Levite that [is] within thy gates, thou shalt not
 forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
14:28 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the
 tithe of thy increase the same year, and shalt lay [it] up
 within thy gates:
14:29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance
 with thee) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow,
 who [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 thy hand which thou doest.
15:1 At the end of [every] seven years thou shalt make a
 release.
15:2 And this [is] the manner of the release: Every creditor
 that lendeth [aught] to his neighbor shall release [it]; he
 shall not exact [it] of his neighbor, or of his brother;
 because it is called the LORD'S release.
15:3 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact [it again]: but [that]
 which is thine with thy brother thy hand shall release:
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:
15:5 Only if thou shalt carefully hearken to the voice of the
 LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I
 command thee this day.
15:6 For the LORD thy God shall bless thee, as he promised thee:
 and thou shalt lend to many nations, but thou shalt not borrow;
 and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not
 reign over thee.
15:7 If there shall be among you a poor man of one of thy
 brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD the
 God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thy
 hand from thy poor brother:
15:8 But thou shalt open thy hand wide to him, and shalt surely
 lend him sufficient for his need, [in that] which he wanteth.
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
 thy eye shall be evil against thy poor brother, and thou shalt
 give him naught; and he shall cry to the LORD against thee, and
 it shall be sin to thee.
15:10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thy heart shall not be
 grieved when thou givest to him: because that for this thing
 the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all
 that thou puttest thy hand to.
15:11 For the poor shall never cease from the land: therefore I
 command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thy hand wide to thy
 brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
15:12 [And] if thy brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman,
 shall be sold to thee, and serve thee six years; then in the
 seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.
15:13 And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt
 not let him depart empty:
15:14 Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out
 of thy floor, and out of thy wine-press: [of that] with which
 the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give to him.
15:15 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bond-man in the
 land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I
 command thee this thing this day.
15:16 And it shall be, if he shall say to thee, I will not leave
 thee; because he loveth thee and thy house, because he is well
 with thee;
15:17 Then thou shalt take an awl, and thrust [it] through his
 ear into the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And
 also to thy maid-servant thou shalt do likewise.
15:18 It shall not seem hard to thee, when thou sendest him away
 free from thee; for he hath been of double the worth of a hired
 servant [to thee], in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy
 God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.
15:19 All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy
 flock thou shalt sanctify to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no
 work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling
 of thy sheep.
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.
15:21 And if there is [any] blemish in it, [as if it is] lame,
 or blind, [or hath] any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice
 it to the LORD thy God.
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.
15:23 Only thou shalt not eat its blood; thou shalt pour it upon
 the ground as water.
16:1 Observe the month Abib, and keep the passover to the LORD
 thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee
 forth from Egypt by night.
16:2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover to the LORD thy
 God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD
 shall choose to place his name there.
16:3 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt
 thou eat unleavened bread with it, [even] the bread of
 affliction; for thou camest forth from the land of Egypt in
 haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth
 from the land of Egypt, all the days of thy life.
16:4 And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all
 thy borders seven days; neither shall there [any thing] of the
 flesh, which thou didst sacrifice the first day at evening,
 remain all night until the morning.
16:5 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy
 gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
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
 evening, at the setting of the sun, at the time of thy
 departure from Egypt.
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 to thy tents.
16:8 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the
 seventh day [shall be] a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God:
 [in it] thou shalt do no work.
16:9 Seven weeks shalt thou number to thee: begin to number the
 seven weeks from [the time when] thou beginnest [to put] the
 sickle to the corn.
16:10 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks to the LORD thy God
 with a tribute of a free-will-offering of thy hand, which thou
 shalt give [to the LORD thy God], according as the LORD thy God
 hath blessed thee:
16:11 And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and
 thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy
 maid-servant, 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.
16:12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bond-man in
 Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
16:13 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days,
 after that thou hast gathered in thy corn, and thy wine.
16:14 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son,
 and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant,
 and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the
 widow, that [are] within thy gates:
16:15 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast to the LORD thy
 God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD
 thy God shall bless thee in all thy increase, and in all the
 works of thy hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.
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:
16:17 Every man [shall give] as he is able, according to the
 blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.
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.
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.
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.
16:21 Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near to the
 altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make for thee.
16:22 Neither shalt thou set thee up [any] image; which the LORD
 thy God hateth.
17:1 Thou shalt not sacrifice to the LORD thy God [any] bullock,
 or sheep, in which is blemish, [or] any evil favoredness: for
 that [is] an abomination to the LORD thy God.
17:2 If there shall 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 of the LORD thy God, in
 transgressing his covenant,
17:3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshiped them,
 either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I
 have not commanded;
17:4 And it shall be told thee, and thou hast heard [of it], and
 inquired diligently, and behold, [it is] true, [and] the thing
 certain, [that] such abomination is wrought in Israel:
17:5 Then shalt thou bring forth to thy gates that man or that
 woman, who have committed that wicked thing, [even] that man or
 that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
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.
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 remove the evil from among you.
17:8 If there shall 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 go up to the place
 which the LORD thy God shall choose;
17:9 And thou shalt come to the priests the Levites, and to the
 judge that shall be in those days, and inquire; and they shall
 show thee the sentence of judgment:
17:10 And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of
 that place which the LORD shall choose shall show thee; and
 thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform
 thee:
17:11 According to the sentence of the law which they shall
 teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell
 thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence
 which they shall show thee, [to] the right hand, nor [to] the
 left.
17:12 And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not
 hearken to the priest that standeth to minister there before
 the LORD thy God, or to the judge, even that man shall die: and
 thou shalt remove the evil from Israel.
17:13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more
 presumptuously.
17:14 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God
 giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell in it, and
 shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations
 that [are] about me;
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, who [is] not thy brother.
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 to you, ye shall
 henceforth return no more that way.
17:17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart
 may turn not away: neither shall he greatly accumulate to
 himself silver and gold.
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.
17:19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read in it 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:
17:20 That his heart may not be lifted above his brethren, and
 that he may not turn aside from the commandment [to] the right
 hand or [to] the left: to the end that he may prolong [his]
 days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of
 Israel.
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.
18:2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their
 brethren: the LORD [is] their inheritance, as he hath said to
 them.
18:3 And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from
 them that offer a sacrifice, whether ox or sheep; and they
 shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and
 the maw.
18:4 The first-fruit [also] of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thy
 oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give
 him.
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.
18:6 And if a Levite shall come from any of thy gates out of all
 Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his
 mind to the place which the LORD shall choose;
18:7 Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as
 all his brethren the Levites [do], who stand there before the
 LORD.
18:8 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which
 cometh of the sale of his patrimony.
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.
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,
18:11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a
 wizard, or a necromancer.
18:12 For all that do these things [are] an abomination to the
 LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth
 drive them out from before thee.
18:13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
18:14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened to
 observers of times, and to diviners: but as for thee, the LORD
 thy God hath not suffered thee so [to do].
18:15 The LORD thy God will raise up to thee a Prophet from the
 midst of thee, of thy brethren, like to me; to him ye shall
 hearken.
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 may not die.
18:17 And the LORD said to me, They have well [spoken of that]
 which they have spoken.
18:18 I will raise up to them a prophet from among their
 brethren, like thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he
 shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
18:19 And it shall come to pass, [that] whoever will not hearken
 to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require
 [it] of him.
18:20 But the prophet, who 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.
18:21 And if thou shalt say in thy heart, How shall we know the
 word which the LORD hath not spoken?
18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the
 thing doth not follow, 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.
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;
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.
19:3 Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the limits of thy
 land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three
 parts, that every slayer may flee thither.
19:4 And this [is] the case of the slayer, who shall flee
 thither, that he may live: Whoever killeth his neighbor
 ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;
19:5 As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbor to hew
 wood, and his hand maketh a stroke with the ax to cut down the
 tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and falleth upon
 his neighbor, that he dieth: he shall flee to one of these
 cities, and live:
19:6 Lest the avenger of blood shall 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.
19:7 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three
 cities for thee.
19:8 And if the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy limits, as he
 hath sworn to thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he
 promised to give to thy fathers;
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, besides these three:
19:10 That innocent blood may not be shed in thy land, which the
 LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance, and [so] blood
 be upon thee.
19:11 But if any man shall hate his neighbor, and lie in wait
 for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally, that
 he dieth, and he shall flee into one of these cities:
19:12 Then the elders of his city shall send and bring him
 thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood,
 that he may die.
19:13 Thy eye shall not pity him, but thou shall remove [the
 guilt of] innocent blood from Israel, that it may be well with
 thee.
19:14 Thou shalt not remove thy neighbor's landmark, which they
 of old time have set in thy inheritance, which thou shalt
 inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to
 possess it.
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.
19:16 If a false witness shall rise up against any man to
 testify against him [that which is] wrong;
19:17 Then both the men between whom the controversy [is] shall
 stand before the LORD, before the priests, and the judges, who
 shall be in those days;
19:18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and
 behold, [if] the witness [is] a false witness, [and] hath
 testified falsely against his brother;
19:19 Then shall ye do to him, as he had thought to do to his
 brother: so shalt thou remove the evil from among you.
19:20 And those who remain shall hear, and fear, and shall
 henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
19:21 And thy eye shall not pity; [but] life [shall go] for
 life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for
 foot.
20:1 When thou goest out to battle against thy 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, who
 brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
20:2 And it shall be when ye are come nigh to the battle, that
 the priest shall approach and speak to the people,
20:3 And shall say to them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day
 to battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear
 not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of
 them;
20:4 For the LORD your God [is] he that goeth with you, to fight
 for you against your enemies, to save you.
20:5 And the officers shall speak to 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
 should die in the battle, and another man should dedicate it.
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 to his
 house, lest he should die in the battle, and another man should
 eat of it.
20:7 And what man [is there] that hath betrothed a wife, and
 hath not taken her? let him go and return to his house, lest he
 should die in battle, and another man should take her.
20:8 And the officers shall speak further to the people, and
 they shall say, What man [is there that is] fearful and
 faint-hearted? let him go and return to his house, lest his
 brethren's heart should faint as well as his heart.
20:9 And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of
 speaking to the people, that they shall make captains of the
 armies to lead the people.
20:10 When thou comest nigh to a city to fight against it, then
 proclaim peace to it.
20:11 And it shall be, if it shall make thee answer of peace,
 and open to thee, then it shall be, [that] all the people [that
 are] found therein, shall be tributaries to thee, and they
 shall serve thee.
20:12 And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war
 against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:
20:13 And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thy
 hands, thou shalt smite every male of it with the edge of the
 sword:
20:14 But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and
 all that is in the city, [even] all the spoil of it, shalt thou
 take to thyself: and thou shalt eat the spoil of thy enemies,
 which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
20:15 Thus shalt thou do to all the cities [which are] very
 distant from thee, which [are] not of the cities of these
 nations.
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:
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:
20:18 That they may not teach you to do after all their
 abominations which they have done to their gods; so would ye
 sin against the LORD your God.
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 of it
 by forcing an ax against them; for thou mayest eat of them: and
 thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field [is]
 man's [life]) to employ [them] in the siege:
20:20 Only the trees which thou knowest that they [are] not
 trees for food, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou
 shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with
 thee, until it shall be subdued.
21:1 If [one] shall 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:
21:2 Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they
 shall measure to the cities which [are] around him that is
 slain:
21:3 And it shall be [that] the city [which is] next to the
 slain man, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer
 which hath not been wrought with, [and] which hath not drawn in
 the yoke;
21:4 And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer to
 a rough valley, which is neither tilled nor sown, and shall
 strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley;
21:5 And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near (for them
 the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister to him, and to bless
 in the name of the LORD) and by their word shall every
 controversy and every stroke be [tried];
21:6 And all the elders of that city [that are] next to the
 slain [man], shall wash their hands over the heifer that is
 beheaded in the valley:
21:7 And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this
 blood, neither have our eyes seen [it].
21:8 Be merciful, O LORD, to thy people Israel, whom thou hast
 redeemed, and lay not innocent blood to the charge of thy
 people Israel. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
21:9 So shalt thou remove the [guilt of] innocent blood from
 among you, when thou shalt do [that which is] right in the
 sight of the LORD.
21:10 When thou goest forth to war against thy enemies, and the
 LORD thy God hath delivered them into thy hands, and thou hast
 taken them captive,
21:11 And [thou] seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and
 hast a desire to her, that thou wouldest have her for thy wife:
21:12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thy house, and she shall
 shave her head, and pare her nails:
21:13 And she shall put off from her the raiment of her
 captivity, and shall remain in thy house, and bewail her father
 and her mother a full month: and after that, thou shalt go in
 to her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
21:14 And it shall be, if thou shalt 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.
21:15 If a man shall have two wives, one beloved, and another
 hated, and they have borne him children, [both] the beloved and
 the hated; and [if] the first-born son be hers that was hated:
21:16 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit
 [that] which he hath, [that] he may not prefer the son of the
 beloved first-born, before the son of the hated, [which is
 indeed] the first-born:
21:17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated [for] the
 first-born, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath:
 for he [is] the beginning of his strength; the right of the
 first-born [is] his.
21:18 If a man shall have a stubborn and rebellious son, who
 will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his
 mother, and [who], when they have chastened him, will not
 hearken to them:
21:19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and
 bring him out to the elders of his city, and to the gate of his
 place;
21:20 And they shall say to 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.
21:21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones,
 that he may die: so shalt thou remove evil from among you, and
 all Israel shall hear, and fear.
21:22 And if a man shall have committed a sin worthy of death,
 and he must be put to death, and thou shalt hang him on a tree:
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 may not be defiled,
 which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance.
22:1 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray,
 and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them
 again to thy brother.
22:2 And if thy brother shall not [be] nigh to thee, or if thou
 shalt not know him, then thou shalt bring it to thy own house,
 and it shall be with thee until thy brother shall seek after
 it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.
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.
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.
22:5 A woman shall not wear that which pertaineth to a man,
 neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do
 so [are] abomination to the LORD thy God.
22:6 If a bird's nest shall chance to be before thee in the way
 on any tree, or on the ground, [whether with] young ones, or
 eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs,
 thou shalt not take the dam with the young:
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.
22:8 When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a
 battlement for thy roof, that thou mayest not bring blood upon
 thy house, if any man shall fall from thence.
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, should be defiled.
22:10 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
22:11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, [as] of
 woolen and linen together.
22:12 Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy
 vesture, with which thou coverest [thyself].
22:13 If any man shall take a wife, and go in to her, and hate
 her,
22:14 And give occasions of speech against her, and bring an
 evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came
 to her, I found her not a maid:
22:15 Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take
 and bring forth [the tokens of] the damsel's virginity to the
 elders of the city in the gate:
22:16 And the damsel's father shall say to the elders, I gave my
 daughter to this man for a wife, and he hateth her,
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.
22:18 And the elders of that city shall take that man and
 chastise him;
22:19 And they shall amerce him in a hundred [shekels] of
 silver, and give [them] to the father of the damsel, because he
 hath brought an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she
 shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
22:20 But if this thing shall be true, [and the tokens of]
 virginity be not found for the damsel:
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 may die: because she hath wrought folly in
 Israel, to be guilty of lewdness in her father's house: so
 shalt thou remove evil from among you.
22:22 If a man shall be found lying with a woman married to a
 husband, then they shall both of them die, [both] the man that
 lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou remove evil
 from Israel.
22:23 If a damsel [that is] a virgin shall be betrothed to a
 husband, and a man shall find her in the city, and lie with
 her;
22:24 Then ye shall bring them both out to the gate of that
 city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they may die;
 the damsel, because she cried not, [being] in the city; and the
 man, because he hath humbled his neighbor's wife: so thou shalt
 remove evil from among you.
22:25 But if a man shall find a betrothed damsel in the field,
 and the man shall force her, and lie with her; then the man
 only that lay with her shall die:
22:26 But to the damsel thou shalt do nothing; [there is] in the
 damsel no sin [worthy] of death: for as when a man riseth
 against his neighbor, and slayeth him, even so [is] this
 matter:
22:27 For he found her in the field, [and] the betrothed damsel
 cried, and [there was] none to save her.
22:28 If a man shall find a damsel [that is] a virgin, who is
 not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they
 be found;
22:29 Then the man that lay with her shall give to 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.
22:30 A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his
 father's skirt.
23:1 He that is wounded or mutilated in his secrets, shall not
 enter into the congregation of the LORD.
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.
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:
23:4 Because they met you not with bread and with water in the
 way, when ye came forth from Egypt; and because they hired
 against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia,
 to curse thee.
23:5 Nevertheless, the LORD thy God would not hearken to Balaam:
 but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing to thee,
 because the LORD thy God loved thee.
23:6 Thou shalt not seek their peace, nor their prosperity all
 thy days for ever.
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.
23:8 The children that are begotten by them shall enter into the
 congregation of the LORD in their third generation.
23:9 When the host goeth forth against thy enemies, then keep
 thee from every wicked thing.
23:10 If there shall be among you any man that is not clean by
 reason of uncleanness that chanceth to him by night, then shall
 he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the
 camp:
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].
23:12 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither
 thou shalt go forth abroad:
23:13 And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon: and it shall
 be when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig with it,
 and shalt turn back, and cover that which cometh from thee:
23:14 For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to
 deliver thee, and to give up thy enemies before thee; therefore
 shall thy camp be holy: that he may see no unclean thing in
 thee, and turn away from thee.
23:15 Thou shalt not deliver to his master the servant who hath
 escaped from his master to thee:
23:16 He shall dwell with thee, [even] among you in that place
 which he shall choose in one of thy gates where it pleaseth him
 best: thou shalt not oppress him.
23:17 There shall be no harlot of the daughters of Israel, nor a
 sodomite of the sons of Israel.
23:18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a harlot, or the price of
 a dog into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even
 both these [are] abomination to the LORD thy God.
23:19 Thou shalt not lend upon interest to thy brother; interest
 of money, interest of victuals, interest of any thing that is
 lent upon interest:
23:20 To a stranger thou mayest lend upon interest; but to thy
 brother thou shalt not lend upon interest; that the LORD thy
 God may bless thee in all that thou settest thy hand to in the
 land whither thou goest to possess it.
23:21 When thou shalt vow a vow to the LORD thy God, thou shalt
 not defer to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require
 it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
23:22 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in
 thee.
23:23 That which is uttered by thy lips thou shalt keep and
 perform; [even] a free-will-offering, according as thou hast
 vowed to the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy
 mouth.
23:24 When thou comest into thy neighbor's vineyard, then thou
 mayest satisfy thy appetite with grapes at thy own pleasure;
 but thou shalt not put [any] in thy vessel.
23:25 When thou comest into the standing-corn of thy neighbor,
 then thou mayest pluck the ears with thy hand: but thou shalt
 not move a sickle to thy neighbor's standing-corn.
24:1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it shall
 come to pass that she findeth no favor 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.
24:2 And when she hath departed from his house, she may go and
 be another man's [wife].
24:3 And [if] the latter husband shall hate her, and write her a
 bill of divorcement, and give [it] in her hand, and send her
 out of his house; or if the latter husband shall die, who took
 her [to be] his wife;
24:4 Her former husband who sent her away, may not take her
 again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that [is]
 abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land
 to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an
 inheritance.
24:5 When a man hath newly taken a 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 his wife which
 he hath taken.
24:6 No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone for a
 pledge: for he taketh [a man's] life for a pledge.
24:7 If a man shall be found stealing any of his brethren of the
 children of Israel, and shall make merchandise of him, or sell
 him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt remove evil from
 among you.
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.
24:9 Remember what the LORD thy God did to Miriam by the way,
 after that ye come forth from Egypt.
24:10 When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not
 go into his house to take his pledge:
24:11 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost
 lend shall bring out the pledge abroad to thee:
24:12 And if the man [is] poor, thou shalt not sleep with his
 pledge:
24:13 In any case thou shalt deliver to 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 to thee before
 the LORD thy God.
24:14 Thou shalt not oppress a hired servant [that is] poor and
 needy, [whether he is] of thy brethren, or of thy strangers
 that [are] in thy land within thy gates:
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 should cry against thee to the LORD, and
 it be sin to thee.
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.
24:17 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, [nor]
 of the fatherless, nor take a widow's raiment for a pledge:
24:18 But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bond-man in
 Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I
 command thee to do this thing.
24:19 When thou cuttest down thy 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 thy hands.
24:20 When thou beatest thy olive-tree, thou shalt not go over
 the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the
 fatherless, and for the widow.
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.
24:22 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bond-man in the
 land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
25:1 If there shall be a controversy between men, and they come
 to judgment, that [the judges] may judge them; then they shall
 justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.
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.
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 to thee.
25:4 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out [the
 corn].
25:5 If brethren shall dwell together, and one of them shall die
 and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without
 to a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in to her, and
 take her to him for a wife, and perform the duty of a husband's
 brother to her.
25:6 And it shall be, [that] the first-born which she beareth,
 shall succeed in the name of his brother [who is] dead, that
 his name may not become extinct in Israel.
25:7 And if the man shall not like to take his brother's wife,
 then let his brother's wife go up to the gate to the elders,
 and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up to his
 brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my
 husband's brother.
25:8 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to
 him: and [if] he shall stand [to it], and say, I like not to
 take her,
25:9 Then shall his brother's wife come to 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 to
 that man that will not build up his brother's house.
25:10 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him
 that hath his shoe loosed.
25:11 When men strive together one with another, and the wife of
 the one draweth near to deliver her husband from the hand of
 him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh
 him by the secrets:
25:12 Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thy eye shall not pity
 [her].
25:13 Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and
 a small:
25:14 Thou shalt not have in thy house divers measures, a great
 and a small:
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.
25:16 For all that do such things, [and] all that do
 unrighteously, [are] an abomination to the LORD thy God.
25:17 Remember what Amalek did to thee by the way, when ye had
 come forth from Egypt;
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.
25:19 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given
 thee rest from all thy enemies on all sides, 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].
26:1 And it shall be, when thou hast come in to the land which
 the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance, and
 possessest it, and dwellest therein;
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 to
 the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name
 there.
26:3 And thou shalt go to the priest that shall be in those
 days, and say to him, I profess this day to the LORD thy God,
 that I have come to the country which the Lord swore to our
 fathers to give us.
26:4 And the priest shall take the basket from thy hand, and set
 it down before the altar of the LORD thy God.
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 to
 Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a
 nation, great, mighty, and populous:
26:6 And the Egyptians ill-treated us, and afflicted us, and
 laid upon us hard bondage:
26:7 And when we cried to the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD
 heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labor,
 and our oppression:
26:8 And the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand,
 and with an out-stretched arm, and with great terribleness, and
 with signs, and with wonders;
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.
26:10 And now, behold, I have brought the first-fruits 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:
26:11 And thou shalt rejoice in every good [thing] which the
 LORD thy God hath given to thee, and to thy house, thou, and
 the Levite, and the stranger that [is] among you.
26:12 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of
 thy increase the third year, [which is] the year of tithing,
 and hast given [it] to the Levite, the stranger, the
 fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates,
 and be filled:
26:13 Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have
 brought away the hallowed things out of [my] house, and also
 have given them to the Levite, and to 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]:
26:14 I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I
 taken away [aught] of it for [any] unclean [use], nor given
 [aught] of it 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.
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 didst swear to our fathers, a land that floweth with milk
 and honey.
26:16 This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to perform
 these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do
 them with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.
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 to his voice:
26:18 And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his
 peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that [thou]
 shouldst keep all his commandments;
26:19 And to make thee high above all nations which he hath
 made, in praise, and in name, and in honor; and that thou
 mayest be a holy people to the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.
27:1 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people,
 saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day.
27:2 And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan
 to the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt
 set thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster:
27:3 And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law,
 when thou hast passed over, that thou mayest enter in to 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.
27:4 Therefore it shall be when ye have gone over Jordan, [that]
 ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in
 mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster.
27:5 And there shalt thou build an altar to the LORD thy God, an
 altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up [any] iron [tool] upon
 them.
27:6 Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of whole
 stones: and thou shalt offer on it burnt-offerings to the LORD
 thy God.
27:7 And thou shalt offer peace-offerings, and shalt eat there,
 and rejoice before the LORD thy God.
27:8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this
 law, very plainly.
27:9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel,
 saying, Take heed and hearken, O Israel, this day thou art
 become the people of the LORD thy God.
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.
27:11 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,
27:12 These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people,
 when ye have come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and
 Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:
27:13 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben,
 Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
27:14 And the Levites shall speak, and say to all the men of
 Israel with a loud voice,
27:15 Cursed [be] the man that maketh [any] graven or molten
 image, an abomination to the LORD, the work of the hands of the
 artificer, and putteth [it] in [a] secret [place]: and all the
 people shall answer, and say Amen.
27:16 Cursed [be] he that setteth light by his father or his
 mother: and all the people shall say, Amen.
27:17 Cursed [be] he that removeth his neighbor's landmark: and
 all the people shall say, Amen.
27:18 Cursed [be] he that maketh the blind to wander out of the
 way: and all the people shall say, Amen.
27:19 Cursed [be] he that perverteth the judgment of the
 stranger, fatherless, and widow: and all the people shall say,
 Amen.
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.
27:21 Cursed [be] he that lieth with any manner of beast: and
 all the people shall say, Amen.
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.
27:23 Cursed [be] he that lieth with his mother-in-law: and all
 the people shall say, Amen.
27:24 Cursed [be] he that smiteth his neighbor secretly: and all
 the people shall say, Amen.
27:25 Cursed [be] he that taketh reward to slay an innocent
 person: and all the people shall say, Amen.
27:26 Cursed [be] he that confirmeth not [all] the words of this
 law to do them: and all the people shall say, Amen.
28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently
 to 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:
28:2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake
 thee, if thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God.
28:3 Blessed [shalt] thou [be] in the city, and blessed [shalt]
 thou [be] in the field.
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
 cattle, and the flocks of thy sheep.
28:5 Blessed [shall be] thy basket and thy store.
28:6 Blessed [shalt] thou [be] when thou comest in, and blessed
 [shalt] thou [be] when thou goest out.
28:7 The LORD shall cause thy 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.
28:8 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy
 store-houses, and in all that thou settest thy hand to: and he
 shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth
 thee.
28:9 The LORD shall establish thee a holy people to himself, as
 he hath sworn to thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of
 the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.
28:10 And all the people of the earth shall see that thou art
 called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of
 thee.
28:11 And the LORD shall make thee to abound 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 swore to thy
 fathers to give thee.
28:12 The LORD shall open to thee his good treasure, the heaven
 to give rain to thy land in its season, and to bless all the
 work of thy hand: and thou shalt lend to many nations, and thou
 shalt not borrow.
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
 thou shalt hearken to the commandments of the LORD thy God,
 which I command thee this day, to observe and to do [them]:
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.
28:15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken to 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:
28:16 Cursed [shalt] thou [be] in the city, and cursed [shalt]
 thou [be] in the field.
28:17 Cursed [shall be] thy basket and thy store.
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.
28:19 Cursed [shalt] thou [be] when thou comest in, and cursed
 [shalt] thou [be] when thou goest out.
28:20 The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and
 rebuke, in all that thou undertakest to perform, until thou
 shalt be destroyed, and until thou shalt perish quickly;
 because of the wickedness of thy doings by which thou hast
 forsaken me.
28:21 The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave to thee, until
 he shall have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou
 goest to possess it.
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 dost perish.
28:23 And thy heaven that [is] over thy head shall be brass, and
 the earth that [is] under thee [shall be] iron.
28:24 The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust:
 from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou art
 destroyed.
28:25 The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thy
 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.
28:26 And thy carcass shall be food to all fowls of the air, and
 to the beasts of the earth, and no man shall drive [them] away.
28:27 The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with
 the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, of which
 thou canst not be healed.
28:28 The LORD shall smite thee with the madness, and blindness,
 and astonishment of heart:
28:29 And thou shalt grope at noon-day, 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].
28:30 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with
 her: thou shalt build a house, and thou shalt not dwell in it:
 thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes of
 it.
28:31 Thy ox [shall be] slain before thy eyes, and thou shalt
 not eat of it: thy ass [shall be] violently taken away from
 before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep
 [shall be] given to thy enemies, and thou shalt have none to
 rescue [them].
28:32 Thy sons and thy daughters [shall be] given to another
 people, and thy eyes shall look, and fail [with longing] for
 them all the day long: and [there shall be] no might in thy
 hand.
28:33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labors, shall be eaten
 by a nation which thou knowest not: and thou shalt be only
 oppressed and crushed always:
28:34 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thy eyes which
 thou shalt see.
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 to the top of thy head.
28:36 The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt
 set over thee, to a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers
 have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and
 stone.
28:37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a
 by-word, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
28:38 Thou shalt carry much seed into the field, and shalt
 gather [but] little: for the locust shall consume it.
28:39 Thou shalt plant vineyards and dress [them], but shalt
 neither drink [of] the wine, nor gather [the grapes]: for the
 worm shall eat them.
28:40 Thou shalt have olive-trees throughout all thy coasts, but
 thou shalt not anoint [thyself] with the oil: for thy olive
 shall cast [its fruit].
28:41 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not
 enjoy them: for they shall go into captivity.
28:42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust
 consume.
28:43 The stranger that [is] within thee shall rise above thee
 very high; and thou shalt come down very low.
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.
28:45 Moreover, all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall
 pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou art destroyed:
 because thou hearkenedst not to the voice of the LORD thy God,
 to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded
 thee:
28:46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder,
 and upon thy seed for ever.
28:47 Because thou didst not serve the LORD thy God with
 joyfulness and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all
 [things]:
28:48 Therefore shalt thou serve thy 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 hath destroyed thee.
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 language thou shalt not understand:
28:50 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the
 person of the old, nor show favor to the young:
28:51 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of
 thy land, until thou art destroyed: which [also] shall not
 leave thee [either] corn, wine, or oil, [or] the increase of
 thy cattle, or flocks of thy sheep, until he hath destroyed
 thee.
28:52 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high
 and fortified walls come down, in which thou didst trust,
 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.
28:53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thy 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 with which thy enemies
 shall distress thee:
28:54 [So that] the man [that is] tender among you, and very
 delicate, his eye shall be evil towards his brother, and
 towards the wife of his bosom, and towards the remnant of his
 children whom he shall leave:
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 with which thy enemies
 shall distress thee in all thy gates.
28:56 The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not
 venture to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for
 delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil towards the
 husband of her bosom, and towards her son, and towards her
 daughter,
28:57 And towards her young one, her own offspring, and towards
 her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for
 want of all [things] secretly in the siege and straitness with
 which thy enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
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;
28:59 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the
 plagues of thy seed, [even] great plagues, and of long
 continuance, and severe sicknesses, and of long continuance.
28:60 Moreover, he will bring upon thee all the diseases of
 Egypt, of which thou wast afraid; and they shall cleave to
 thee.
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 art destroyed.
28:62 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the
 stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldst not obey
 the voice of the LORD thy God.
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 naught;
 and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to
 possess it.
28:64 And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people from the
 one end of the earth even to the other; and there thou shalt
 serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have
 known, [even] wood and stone.
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:
28:66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou
 shalt fear day and night, and shalt have no assurance of thy
 life:
28:67 In the morning thou shalt say, O that it were evening, and
 at evening thou shalt say, O that it were morning! for the fear
 of thy heart with which thou shalt fear, and for the sight of
 thy eyes which thou shalt see.
28:68 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships,
 by the way of which I have said to thee, Thou shalt see it no
 more again: and there ye shall be sold to your enemies for
 bond-men and bond-women, and no man shall buy [you].
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, besides the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
29:2 And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Ye have
 seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of
 Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land;
29:3 The great temptations which thy eyes have seen, the signs,
 and those great miracles:
29:4 Yet the LORD hath not given you a heart to perceive, and
 eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.
29:5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your
 clothes have not become old upon you, and thy shoe hath not
 become old upon thy foot.
29:6 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drank wine or
 strong drink: that ye might know that I [am] the LORD your God.
29:7 And when ye came to this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon,
 and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us to battle, and
 we smote them:
29:8 And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to
 the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of
 Manasseh.
29:9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them,
 that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
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,
29:11 Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that [is]
 in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood to the drawer of thy
 water:
29:12 That thou shouldst enter into covenant with the LORD thy
 God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee
 this day:
29:13 That he may establish thee to-day for a people to himself,
 and [that] he may be to thee a God, as he hath said to thee,
 and as he hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and
 to Jacob.
29:14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this
 oath;
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:
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;
29:17 And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood
 and stone, silver and gold, which [were] among them:)
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;
29:19 And it should come to pass, when he heareth the words of
 this curse, that he should bless himself in his heart, saying,
 I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of my
 heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:
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.
29:21 And the LORD shall separate him to 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:
29:22 So that the generation to come of your children that shall
 arise after you, and the stranger that shall come from a
 distant land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that
 land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;
29:23 [And that] the whole land of it is brimstone, and salt,
 [and] burning, [that] it is not sown, nor doth it bear, nor
 doth any grass grow in it, like the overthrow of Sodom, and
 Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his
 anger and in his wrath:
29:24 Even all the nations shall say, Why hath the LORD done
 thus to this land? what [meaneth] the heat of this great anger?
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 from the land of Egypt:
29:26 For they went and served other gods, and worshiped them,
 gods which they knew not, and which he had not given to them:
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:
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.
29:29 The secret [things belong] to the LORD our God: but those
 [things which are] revealed [belong] to us, and to our children
 for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
30:1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things have 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,
30:2 And shalt return to the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his
 voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and
 thy children, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul;
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.
30:4 If [any] of thine shall be driven out to the outmost
 [parts] of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather
 thee, and from thence will he bring thee:
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.
30:6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the
 heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thy heart,
 and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
30:7 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thy
 enemies, and on them that hate thee, who persecuted thee.
30:8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and
 do all his commandments which I command thee this day.
30:9 And the LORD thy God will make thee to abound in every work
 of thy 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:
30:10 If thou shalt hearken to 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 shalt turn to the LORD thy
 God with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
30:11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it
 [is] not hid from thee, neither [is] it far off.
30:12 It [is] not in heaven, that thou shouldst say, Who shall
 ascend for us to heaven, and bring it to us, that we may hear
 it, and do it?
30:13 Neither [is] it beyond the sea, that thou shouldst say,
 Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, that we
 may hear it, and do it?
30:14 But the word [is] very nigh to thee, in thy mouth, and in
 thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
30:15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and
 death and evil;
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.
30:17 But if thy heart shall turn away, so that thou wilt not
 hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and
 serve them;
30:18 I denounce to 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.
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:
30:20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, [and] that thou
 mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave to him (for
 he [is] thy life, and the length of thy days) that thou mayest
 dwell in the land which the LORD swore to thy fathers, to
 Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
31:1 And Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.
31:2 And he said to them, I [am] a hundred and twenty years old
 this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath
 said to me, thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
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.
31:4 And the LORD shall do to them as he did to Sihon, and to
 Og, kings of the Amorites, and to the land of them, whom he
 destroyed.
31:5 And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye
 may do to them according to all the commandments which I have
 commanded you.
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.
31:7 And Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of
 all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go
 with this people to the land which the LORD hath sworn to their
 fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.
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.
31:9 And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests
 the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD,
 and to all the elders of Israel.
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,
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.
31:12 Convene the people, 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:
31:13 And [that] their children who 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.
31:14 And the LORD said to 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.
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.
31:16 And the LORD said to Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with
 thy fathers, and this people will rise up, and commit idolatry
 with 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.
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, Have not these
 evils come upon us, because our God [is] not among us?
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 to
 other gods.
31:19 Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it to
 the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song
 may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
31:20 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I
 swore to their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and
 they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxed fat;
 then will they turn to other gods, and serve them, and provoke
 me, and break my covenant.
31:21 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles
 have 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 form,
 even now, before I have brought them into the land which I
 swore.
31:22 Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught
 it to the children of Israel.
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 swore to them: and I will be
 with thee.
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,
31:25 That Moses commanded the Levites who bore the ark of the
 covenant of the LORD, saying,
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.
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?
31:28 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes, and your
 officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call
 heaven and earth to record against them.
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.
31:30 And Moses spoke in the ears of all the congregation of
 Israel the words of this song until they were ended.
32:1 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O
 earth, the words of my mouth.
32:2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distill
 as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the
 showers upon the grass:
32:3 Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye
 greatness to our God.
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.
32:5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot [is] not [the
 spot] of his children: [they are] a perverse and crooked
 generation.
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?
32:7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many
 generations: ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders,
 and they will tell thee.
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.
32:9 For the LORD'S portion [is] his people; Jacob [is] the lot
 of his inheritance.
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.
32:11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her
 young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on
 her wings;
32:12 [So] the LORD alone did lead him, and [there was] no
 strange God with him.
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;
32:14 Butter of cows, 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.
32:15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou hast waxed fat,
 thou art grown thick, thou art covered [with fatness]; then he
 forsook God [who] made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of
 his salvation.
32:16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange [gods], with
 abominations they provoked him to anger.
32:17 They sacrificed to devils, not to God; to gods which they
 knew not, to new [gods that] came newly up, whom your fathers
 feared not.
32:18 Of the Rock [that] begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast
 forgotten God that formed thee.
32:19 And when the LORD saw [it], he abhorred [them], because of
 the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
32:20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see
 what their end [will be]: for they [are] a very froward
 generation, children in whom [is] no faith.
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 who are] not a people; I
 will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
32:22 For a fire is kindled in my anger, and shall burn to the
 lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and
 set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
32:23 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend my arrows
 upon them.
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.
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.
32:26 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make
 the remembrance of them to cease from among men;
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.
32:28 For they [are] a nation void of counsel, neither [is there
 any] understanding in them.
32:29 O that they were wise, [that] they understood this, [that]
 they would consider their latter end!
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?
32:31 For their rock [is] not as our Rock, even our enemies
 themselves [being] judges:
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:
32:33 Their wine [is] the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom
 of asps.
32:34 [Is] not this laid up in store with me, [and] sealed up
 among my treasures?
32:35 To me [belongeth] vengeance, and recompense; their foot
 shall slide in [due] time: for the day of their calamity [is]
 at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
32:36 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent for his
 servants: when he seeth that [their] power is gone, and [there
 is] none shut up, or left.
32:37 And he shall say, Where [are] their gods, [their] rock in
 whom they trusted,
32:38 Which ate the fat of their sacrifices, [and] drank the
 wine of their drink-offerings? let them rise up and help you,
 [and] be your protection.
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.
32:40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
32:41 If I shall whet my glittering sword, and my hand take hold
 on judgment; I will render vengeance to my enemies, and will
 reward them that hate me.
32:42 I will make my 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.
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 to his land, [and] to his
 people.
32:44 And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the
 ears of the people, he and Hoshea the son of Nun.
32:45 And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all
 Israel;
32:46 And he said to them, Set your hearts to 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.
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.
32:48 And the LORD spoke to Moses that same day, saying,
32:49 Ascend this mountain Abarim, [to] mount Nebo, which [is]
 in the land of Moab, that [is] over against Jericho; and behold
 the land of Canaan which I give to the children of Israel for a
 Possession:
32:50 And die in the mount whither thou goest, and be gathered
 to thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was
 gathered to his people:
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.
32:52 Yet thou shalt see the land before [thee], but thou shalt
 not go thither to the land which I give the children of Israel.
33:1 And this [is] the with which Moses, the man of God, blessed
 the children of Israel before his death.
33:2 And he said, the LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from
 Seir to 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.
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.
33:4 Moses commanded us a law; [even] the inheritance of the
 congregation of Jacob.
33:5 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people
 [and] the tribes of Israel were assembled.
33:6 Let Reuben live, and not die; and let [not] his men be few.
33:7 And this [is the blessing] of Judah: and he said, Hear,
 LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him to his people: let his
 hands be sufficient for him, and be thou a help [to him] from
 his enemies.
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;
33:9 Who said to his father and to his mother, I have not seen
 him, neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor know his own
 children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy
 covenant.
33:10 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law;
 they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice
 upon thy altar.
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.
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.
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,
33:14 And for the precious fruits [brought forth] by the sun,
 and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
33:15 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for
 the precious things of the lasting hills,
33:16 And for the precious things of the earth and fullness of
 it, 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.
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.
33:18 And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going
 out; and Issachar, in thy tents.
33:19 They shall call the people to 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.
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.
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.
33:22 And of Dan he said, Dan [is] a lion's whelp: he shall leap
 from Bashan.
33:23 And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favor,
 and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west
 and the south.
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.
33:25 Thy shoes [shall be] iron and brass; and as thy days, [so
 shall] thy strength [be].
33:26 [There is] none like to the God of Jeshurun, [who] rideth
 upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellence on the sky.
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].
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.
33:29 Happy [art] thou, O Israel: who [is] like to thee, O
 people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who [is]
 the sword of thy excellence! and thy enemies shall be found
 liars to thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
34:1 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab, upon the
 mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that [is] over against
 Jericho: and the LORD showed him all the land of Gilead, to
 Dan,
34:2 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh,
 and all the land of Judah, to the utmost sea,
34:3 And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the
 city of palm-trees, to Zoar.
34:4 And the LORD said to him, This [is] the land which I swore
 to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, I will give it to
 thy seed: I have caused thee to see [it] with thy eyes, but
 thou shalt not go over thither.
34:5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of
 Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
34:6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over
 against Beth-peor: but no man knoweth of his sepulcher to this
 day.
34:7 And Moses [was] a hundred and twenty years old when he
 died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
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.
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 to him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.
34:10 And there arose not a prophet afterwards in Israel like to
 Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,
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,
34:12 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror
 which Moses showed in the sight of all Israel.
