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.







1:2 (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount



Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)  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; 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: 1:5 On this side Jordan, in



the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, 1:6 The



LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough



in this mount: 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.







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.







1:9 And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear



you myself alone: 1:10 The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and,



behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.







1:11 (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many



more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)  1:12 How can



I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?



1:13 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your



tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.







1:14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is



good for us to do.







1:15 So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made



them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over



hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and



officers among your tribes.







1:16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes



between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his



brother, and the stranger that is with him.







1:17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the



small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man;



for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you,



bring it unto me, and I will hear it.







1:18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should



do.







1:19 And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great



and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of



the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to



Kadeshbarnea.







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.







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.







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.







1:23 And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one



of a tribe: 1:24 And they turned and went up into the mountain, and



came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.







1:25 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and



brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a



good land which the LORD our God doth give us.







1:26 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the



commandment of the LORD your God: 1:27 And ye murmured in your tents,



and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of



the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to



destroy us.







1:28 Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart,



saying, The people 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.







1:29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.







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; 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.







1:32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God, 1:33 Who



went in the way before you, to search 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.







1:34 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and



sware, saying, 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.







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.







1:37 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also



shalt not go in thither.







1:38 But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall



go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.







1:39 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and



your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and



evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they



shall possess it.







1:40 But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the



wilderness by the way of the Red sea.







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.







1:42 And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them. Go not up, neither



fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.







1:43 So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against



the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill.







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.







1:45 And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not



hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.







1:46 So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye



abode there.







2:1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the



way of the Red sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed mount



Seir many days.







2:2 And the LORD spake unto me, saying, 2:3 Ye have compassed this



mountain long enough: turn you northward.







2:4 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the



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: 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.







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.







2:7 For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy



hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these



forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked



nothing.







2:8 And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau,



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.







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.







2:10 The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many,



and tall, as the Anakims; 2:11 Which also were accounted giants, as



the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims.







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.







2:13 Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we



went over the brook Zered.







2:14 And the 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.







2:15 For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them



from among the host, until they were consumed.







2:16 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and



dead from among the people, 2:17 That the LORD spake unto me, saying,



2:18 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:



2:19 And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon,



distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of



the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given



it unto the children of Lot for a possession.







2:20 (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein



in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims; 2:21 A people



great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them



before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead: 2:22



As he did to the children of Esau, 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: 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.)  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.







2:25 This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of



thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear



report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.







2:26 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto



Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, 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.







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; 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.







2:30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the



LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that



he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.







2:31 And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and



his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his



land.







2:32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight



at Jahaz.







2:33 And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him,



and his sons, and all his people.







2:34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed



the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left



none to remain: 2:35 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto



ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.







2:36 From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from



the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one



city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all unto us: 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.







3:1 Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of



Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.







3:2 And the LORD said 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.







3:3 So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of



Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to



him remaining.







3:4 And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city



which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of



Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.







3:5 All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars;



beside unwalled towns a great many.







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.







3:7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a



prey to ourselves.







3:8 And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the



Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of



Arnon unto mount Hermon; 3:9 (Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion;



and the Amorites call it Shenir;) 3:10 All the cities of the plain,



and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the



kingdom of Og in Bashan.







3:11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants;



behold his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of



the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four



cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.







3:12 And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which



is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof,



gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.







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.







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.







3:15 And I gave Gilead unto Machir.







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; 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.







3:18 And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God hath



given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before



your brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for the war.







3:19 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (for I



know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I



have given you; 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.







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.







3:22 Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for



you.







3:23 And I besought the LORD at that time, saying, 3:24 O Lord GOD,



thou hast begun to 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?  3:25 I pray thee,



let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that



goodly mountain, and Lebanon.







3:26 But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear



me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto



me of this matter.







3:27 Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes



westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it



with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.







3:28 But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for he



shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit



the land which thou shalt see.







3:29 So we abode in the valley over against Bethpeor.







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.







4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall



ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the



LORD your God which I command you.







4:3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor: for all



the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them



from among you.







4:4 But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one



of you this day.







4:5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD



my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to



possess it.







4:6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your



understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these



statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and



understanding people.







4:7 For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them,



as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?  4:8



And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so



righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?  4:9 Only



take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou 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; 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.







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.







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.







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.







4:14 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and



judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to



possess it.







4:15 Take ye therefore good heed 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: 4:16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a



graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or



female, 4:17 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the



likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air, 4:18 The likeness



of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish



that is in the waters beneath the earth: 4:19 And lest thou 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.







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.







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:



4:22 But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye



shall go over, and possess that good land.







4:23 Take heed 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.







4:24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.







4:25 When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye



shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves,



and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do



evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger: 4:26 I



call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall



soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to



possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly



be destroyed.







4:27 And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be



left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.







4:28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and



stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.







4:29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt



find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.







4:30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon



thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and



shalt be obedient unto his voice; 4:31 (For the LORD thy God is a



merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor



forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.







4:32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee,



since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the



one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such



thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?  4:33 Did



ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the



fire, as thou hast heard, and live?  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?



4:35 Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he



is God; there is none else beside him.







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.







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; 4:38 To drive out nations from before thee greater and



mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for



an inheritance, as it is this day.







4:39 Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the



LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is



none else.







4:40 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments,



which I command thee this day, that it may 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.







4:41 Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the



sunrising; 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: 4:43 Namely, Bezer in



the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in



Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.







4:44 And this is the law which Moses set before the children of



Israel: 4:45 These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the



judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they



came forth out of Egypt.







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: 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; 4:48 From Aroer, which is by the bank of the



river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon, 4:49 And all the



plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain,



under the springs of Pisgah.







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.







5:2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.







5:3 The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us,



even us, who are all of us here alive this day.







5:4 The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the



midst of the fire, 5:5 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time,



to shew you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the



fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying, 5:6 I am the LORD thy



God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of



bondage.







5:7 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.







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: 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, 5:10 And shewing



mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.







5:11 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the



LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.







5:12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath



commanded thee.







5:13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: 5:14 But the



seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not



do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant,



nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy



cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant



and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.







5:15 And 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.







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.







5:17 Thou shalt not kill.







5:18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery.







5:19 Neither shalt thou steal.







5:20 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.







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.







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.







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; 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.







5:25 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume



us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall



die.







5:26 For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the



living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and



lived?  5:27 Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall



say: and speak thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto



thee; and we will hear it, and do it.







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.







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!  5:30 Go say to them, Get you into



your tents again.







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.







5:32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath



commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the



left.







5:33 Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath



commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and



that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.







6:1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments,



which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them



in the land whither ye go to possess it: 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.







6:3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be



well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of



thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and



honey.







6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: 6:5 And thou shalt



love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and



with all thy might.







6:6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine



heart: 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.







6:8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they



shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.







6:9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy



gates.







6:10 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee



into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac,



and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou



buildedst not, 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; 6:12 Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought



thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.







6:13 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear



by his name.







6:14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which



are round about you; 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.







6:16 Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in



Massah.







6:17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God,



and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.







6:18 And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of



the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in



and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers.







6:19 To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath



spoken.







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?  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: 6:22 And the LORD shewed signs and wonders, great



and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before



our eyes: 6:23 And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring



us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.







6:24 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the



LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as



it is at this day.







6:25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these



commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.







7:1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou



goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the



Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites,



and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations



greater and mightier than thou; 7:2 And when the LORD thy God shall



deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy



them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:



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.







7:4 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may



serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against



you, and destroy thee suddenly.







7:5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars,



and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their



graven images with fire.







7:6 For thou art 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.







7:7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye



were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all



people: 7:8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep



the oath which he had sworn 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.







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; 7:10 And repayeth them that



hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him



that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.







7:11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and



the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.







7:12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these



judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep



unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:



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.







7:14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male



or female barren among you, or among your cattle.







7:15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put



none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but



will lay them upon all them that hate thee.







7:16 And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God



shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither



shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.







7:17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I;



how can I dispossess them?  7:18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but



shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto



all Egypt; 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.







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.







7:21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is



among you, a mighty God and terrible.







7:22 And the LORD thy God will 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.







7:23 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall



destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.







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.







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 therin: for it is an abomination to the LORD



thy God.







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.







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.







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.







8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee



with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that



he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by



every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.







8:4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell,



these forty years.







8:5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth



his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.







8:6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to



walk in his ways, and to fear him.







8:7 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of



brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys



and hills; 8:8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees,



and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; 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.







8:10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD



thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.







8:11 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his



commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command



thee this day: 8:12 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast



built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; 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; 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; 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; 8:16 Who fed thee in the



wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might



humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy



latter end; 8:17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might



of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.







8:18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that



giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant



which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.







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.







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.







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, 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!  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.







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.







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.







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.







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.







9:8 Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was



angry with you to have destroyed you.







9:9 When I 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: 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.







9:11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights,



that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the



covenant.







9:12 And the LORD said 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.







9:13 Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this



people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 9:14 Let me alone,



that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven:



and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.







9:15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned



with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.







9:16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your



God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out



of the way which the LORD had commanded you.







9:17 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and



brake them before your eyes.







9:18 And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and



forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all



your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD,



to provoke him to anger.







9:19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the



LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto



me at that time also.







9:20 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and



I prayed for Aaron also the same time.







9:21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it



with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was



as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that



descended out of the mount.







9:22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye



provoked the LORD to wrath.







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.







9:24 Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew



you.







9:25 Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as



I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy



you.







9:26 I prayed therefore 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.







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: 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.







9:29 Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou



broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.







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.







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.







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.







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.







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.







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.







10:7 From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to



Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.







10:8 At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the



ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister



unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.







10:9 Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren;



the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised



him.







10:10 And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty



days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that time



also, and the LORD would not destroy thee.







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.







10:12 And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but



to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him,



and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy



soul, 10:13 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes,



which I command thee this day for thy good?  10:14 Behold, the heaven



and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's thy God, the earth also, with



all that therein is.







10:15 Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he



chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this



day.







10:16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more



stiffnecked.







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: 10:18 He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and



widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.







10:19 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the



land of Egypt.







10:20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to



him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.







10:21 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee



these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.







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.







11:1 Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge,



and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.







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,



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; 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; 11:5 And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came



into this place; 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:



11:7 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he



did.







11:8 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you



this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land,



whither ye go to possess it; 11:9 And that ye may prolong your days in



the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and



to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.







11:10 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the



land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed,



and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs: 11:11 But the



land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and



drinketh water of the rain of heaven: 11:12 A land which the LORD thy



God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from



the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.







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,



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.







11:15 And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou



mayest eat and be full.







11:16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye



turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; 11:17 And then the



LORD's wrath 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.







11:18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in



your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be



as frontlets between your eyes.







11:19 And ye shall teach them 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.







11:20 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house,



and upon thy gates: 11:21 That your days may be multiplied, and the



days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your



fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.







11:22 For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I



command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his



ways, and to cleave unto him; 11:23 Then will the LORD drive out all



these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations



and mightier than yourselves.







11:24 Every place 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.







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.







11:26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; 11:27



A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I



command you this day: 11:28 And a curse, if ye will not obey the



commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which



I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not



known.







11:29 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought



thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou



shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount



Ebal.







11:30 Are they not on the other side 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?  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.







11:32 And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which



I set before you this day.







12:1 These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to



do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to



possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.







12:2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations



which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and



upon the hills, and under every green tree: 12:3 And ye shall



overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves



with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and



destroy the names of them out of that place.







12:4 Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.







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: 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: 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.







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.







12:9 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance,



which the LORD your God giveth you.







12:10 But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD



your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all



your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety; 12:11 Then there



shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his



name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you;



your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave



offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the



LORD: 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.







12:13 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in



every place that thou seest: 12:14 But in the place which the LORD



shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt



offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.







12:15 Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates,



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.







12:16 Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth



as water.







12:17 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or



of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy



flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill



offerings, or heave offering of thine hand: 12:18 But thou must eat



them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall



choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy 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.







12:19 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as



thou livest upon the earth.







12:20 When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath



promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul



longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul



lusteth after.







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.







12:22 Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat



them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.







12:23 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the



life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.







12:24 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as



water.







12:25 Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with



thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the



sight of the LORD.







12:26 Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt



take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose: 12:27 And



thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon



the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall



be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat



the flesh.







12:28 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it



may 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.







12:29 When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before



thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them,



and dwellest in their land; 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be



not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before



thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did



these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.







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.







12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt



not add thereto, nor diminish from it.







13:1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and



giveth thee a sign or a wonder, 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; 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.







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.







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.







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; 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; 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: 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.







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.







13:11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any



such wickedness as this is among you.







13:12 If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy



God hath given thee to dwell there, saying, 13:13 Certain men, the



children of Belial, 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; 13:14 Then shalt thou enquire, and make



search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing



certain, that such abomination is wrought among you; 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.







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.







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; 13:18 When thou shalt hearken to the voice of



the LORD thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee



this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD thy God.







14:1 Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut



yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.







14:2 For thou art 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.







14:3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.







14:4 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and



the goat, 14:5 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the



wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.







14:6 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft



into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall



eat.







14:7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or



of them that divide the cloven hoof; 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.







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.







14:9 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have



fins and scales shall ye eat: 14:10 And whatsoever hath not fins and



scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.







14:11 Of all clean birds ye shall eat.







14:12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the



ossifrage, and the ospray, 14:13 And the glede, and the kite, and the



vulture after his kind, 14:14 And every raven after his kind, 14:15



And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after



his kind, 14:16 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan, 14:17



And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant, 14:18 And the



stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.







14:19 And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they



shall not be eaten.







14:20 But of all clean fowls ye may eat.







14:21 Ye shall not eat of anything 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.







14:22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the



field bringeth forth year by year.







14:23 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which



he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy



wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy



flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.







14:24 And if the way 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: 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: 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, 14:27 And the Levite that is within thy



gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance



with thee.







14:28 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe



of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:



14:29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with



thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, 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.







15:1 At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.







15:2 And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that



lendeth 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.







15:3 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is



thine with thy brother thine hand shall release; 15:4 Save when there



shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in



the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to



possess it: 15:5 Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the



LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command



thee this day.







15:6 For the LORD thy God 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.







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: 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.







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.







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.







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.







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.







15:13 And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let



him go away empty: 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.







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.







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; 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.







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.







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.







15:20 Thou shalt eat it before the LORD thy God year by year in the



place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.







15:21 And if there 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.







15:22 Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean



person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.







15:23 Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it



upon the ground as water.







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.







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.







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.







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.







16:5 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates,



which the LORD thy God giveth thee: 16:6 But at the place which the



LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt



sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the



season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.







16:7 And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the LORD thy



God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy



tents.







16:8 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day



shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work



therein.







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.







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: 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.







16:12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and



thou shalt observe and do these statutes.







16:13 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after



that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine: 16:14 And thou shalt



rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy



manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the



fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.







16:15 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast 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.







16:16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD



thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened



bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and



they shall not appear before the LORD empty: 16:17 Every man shall



give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God



which he hath given thee.







16:18 Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which



the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall



judge the people with just judgment.







16:19 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons,



neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and



pervert the words of the righteous.







16:20 That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou



mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.







16:21 Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the



altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee.







16:22 Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which the LORD thy God



hateth.







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.







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, 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; 17:4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and



enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain,



that such abomination is wrought in Israel: 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.







17:6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that



is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he



shall not be put to death.







17:7 The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to



death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put



the evil away from among you.







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;



17:9 And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the



judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall shew



thee the sentence of judgment: 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: 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.







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.







17:13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more



presumptuously.







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;



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.







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.







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.







17:18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom,



that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which



is before the priests the Levites: 17:19 And it shall be with him, and



he shall read 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: 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.







18:1 The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no



part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the



LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.







18:2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren:



the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.







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.







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.







18:5 For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to



stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.







18:6 And if a Levite 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; 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.







18:8 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of



the sale of his patrimony.







18:9 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth



thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those



nations.







18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son



or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or



an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.







18:11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard,



or a necromancer.







18:12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD:



and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out



from before thee.







18:13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.







18:14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto



observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy



God hath not suffered thee so to do.







18:15 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the



midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall



hearken; 18:16 According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy



God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again



the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any



more, that I die not.







18:17 And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they



have spoken.







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.







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.







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.







18:21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which



the LORD hath not spoken?  18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name



of the LORD, if the thing 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.







19:1 When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the



LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in



their cities, and in their houses; 19:2 Thou shalt separate three



cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God



giveth thee to possess it.







19:3 Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land,



which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that



every slayer may flee thither.







19:4 And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither,



that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he



hated not in time past; 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: 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.







19:7 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three



cities for thee.







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; 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: 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.







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: 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.







19:13 Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt



of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.







19:14 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.







19:15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or



for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two



witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be



established.







19:16 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against



him that which is wrong; 19:17 Then both the men, between whom the



controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and



the judges, which shall be in those days; 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; 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.







19:20 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall



henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.







19:21 And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye



for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.







20:1 When thou goest 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.







20:2 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the



priest shall approach and speak unto the people, 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; 20:4 For the LORD your God is



he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save



you.







20:5 And the officers shall speak 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.







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.







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.







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.







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.







20:10 When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then



proclaim peace unto it.







20:11 And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto



thee, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein



shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.







20:12 And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war



against thee, then thou shalt besiege it: 20:13 And when the LORD thy



God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male



thereof with the edge of the sword: 20:14 But the women, and the



little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the



spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the



spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.







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.







20:16 But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth



give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that



breatheth: 20:17 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the



Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the



Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:



20:18 That they 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.







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: 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.







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: 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: 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; 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: 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: 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: 21:7 And



they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither



have our eyes seen it.







21:8 Be merciful, O LORD, 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.







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.







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, 21:11 And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and



hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife; 21:12



Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her



head, and pare her nails; 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.







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.







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: 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: 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.







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: 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; 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.







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.







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: 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.







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.







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.







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.







22:4 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down by the



way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift



them up again.







22:5 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.







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: 22:7 But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and



take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou



mayest prolong thy days.







22:8 When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement



for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man



fall from thence.







22:9 Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit



of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be



defiled.







22:10 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.







22:11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and



linen together.







22:12 Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy



vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.







22:13 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her, 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: 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: 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; 22:17 And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech



against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these



are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the



cloth before the elders of the city.







22:18 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise



him; 22:19 And they shall amerce him in 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.







22:20 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not



found for the damsel: 22:21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to



the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone



her with stones that she 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.







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.







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; 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.







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.







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: 22:27 For he found



her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none



to save her.







22:28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed,



and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; 22:29 Then



the man that lay with her shall give 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.







22:30 A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his



father's skirt.







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.







23:2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even



to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of



the LORD.







23:3 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of



the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the



congregation of the LORD for ever: 23:4 Because they met you not with



bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and



because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of



Mesopotamia, to curse thee.







23:5 Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but



the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because



the LORD thy God loved thee.







23:6 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days



for ever.







23:7 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou



shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.







23:8 The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the



congregation of the LORD in their third generation.







23:9 When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee



from every wicked thing.







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: 23:11 But it shall be,



when evening cometh on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the



sun is down, he shall come into the camp again.







23:12 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou



shalt go forth abroad: 23:13 And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy



weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou



shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh



from thee: 23:14 For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy



camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee;



therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in



thee, and turn away from thee.







23:15 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is



escaped from his master unto thee: 23:16 He shall dwell with thee,



even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy



gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.







23:17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a



sodomite of the sons of Israel.







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.







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: 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.







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.







23:22 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.







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.







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.







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.







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.







24:2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be



another man's wife.







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;



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.







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.







24:6 No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge:



for he taketh a man's life to pledge.







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.







24:8 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently,



and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you:



as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.







24:9 Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after



that ye were come forth out of Egypt.







24:10 When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go



into his house to fetch his pledge.







24:11 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend



shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.







24:12 And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:



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.







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: 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.







24:16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither



shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be



put to death for his own sin.







24:17 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the



fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge: 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.







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.







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.







24:21 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not



glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless,



and for the widow.







24:22 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of



Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.







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.







25:2 And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that



the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his



face, according to his fault, by a certain number.







25:3 Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should



exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother



should seem vile unto thee.







25:4 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn.







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.







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.







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.







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; 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.







25:10 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that



hath his shoe loosed.







25:11 When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the



one draweth near 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: 25:12 Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not



pity her.







25:13 Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a



small.







25:14 Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and



a small.







25:15 But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and



just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the



land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.







25:16 For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are



an abomination unto the LORD thy God.







25:17 Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come



forth out of Egypt; 25:18 How he met thee by the way, and smote the



hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou



wast faint and weary; and he feared not God.







25:19 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee



rest from all 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.







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; 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.







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.







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.







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: 26:6 And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted



us, and laid upon us hard bondage: 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: 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: 26:9 And he hath brought us into this place, and hath



given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey.







26:10 And now, behold, I have brought the 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: 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.







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; 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.







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.







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.







26:16 This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these



statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all



thine heart, and with all thy soul.







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: 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; 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.







27:1 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying,



Keep all the commandments which I command you this day.







27:2 And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto



the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee



up great stones, and plaister them with plaister: 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.







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.







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.







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:



27:7 And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and



rejoice before the LORD thy God.







27:8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law



very plainly.







27:9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel,



saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the



people of the LORD thy God.







27:10 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do



his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.







27:11 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying, 27:12 These



shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come



over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph,



and Benjamin: 27:13 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse;



Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.







27:14 And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel



with a loud voice, 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.







27:16 Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And



all the people shall say, Amen.







27:17 Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's landmark. And all the



people shall say, Amen.







27:18 Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And
