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