Israel's History after the Exodus

These 428 are the words 1697 which 834 Moses 4872 spoke 1696 to all 3605 Israel 3478 across 5676 the Jordan 3383 in the wilderness 4057, in the Arabah 6160 opposite 4136 Suph 5489, between 996 Paran 6290 and Tophel 8603 and Laban 3837 and Hazeroth 2698 and Dizahab 1774.
2 It is eleven days' 3117 {journey} from Horeb 2722 by the way 1870 of Mount 2022 Seir 8165 to Kadesh-barnea 6947.
3 In the fortieth 705 year 8141, on the first 259 {day} of the eleventh month 2320, Moses 4872 spoke 1696 to the children 1121 of Israel 3478, according to all 3605 that the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 him {to give} to them,
4 after 310 he had defeated 5221 Sihon 5511 the king 4428 of the Amorites 567, who 834 lived 3427 in Heshbon 2809, and Og 5747 the king 4428 of Bashan 1316, who 834 lived 3427 in Ashtaroth 6252 and Edrei 154.
5 Across 5676 the Jordan 3383 in the land 776 of Moab 4124, Moses 4872 undertook 2974 to expound 874 this 2088 law 8451, saying 559,
6 ¶ "The LORD 3068 our God 430 spoke 1696 to us at Horeb 2722, saying 559, 'You have stayed 3427 long 7227 enough 7227 at this 2088 mountain 2022.
7 'Turn 6437 and set 5265 your journey 5265, and go 935 to the hill 2022 country 2022 of the Amorites 567, and to all 3605 their neighbors 7934 in the Arabah 6160, in the hill 2022 country 2022 and in the lowland 8219 and in the Negev 5045 and by the seacoast, the land 776 of the Canaanites 3669, and Lebanon 3844, as far 5704 as the great 1419 river 5104, the river 5104 Euphrates 6578.
8 'See 7200, I have placed 5414 the land 776 before 6440 you; go 935 in and possess 3423 the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 swore 7650 to give 5414 to your fathers 1, to Abraham 85, to Isaac 3327, and to Jacob 3290, to them and their descendants 2233 after 310 them.'
9 ¶ "I spoke 559 to you at that time 6256, saying 559, 'I am not able 3201 to bear 5375 {the burden} of you alone 905.
10 'The LORD 3068 your God 430 has multiplied 7235 you, and behold 2009, you are this day 3117 like the stars 3556 of heaven 8064 in number 7230.
11 'May the LORD 3068, the God 430 of your fathers 1, increase 3254 you a thousand-fold more 3254 than you are and bless 1288 you, just 3512 as He has promised 1696 you!
12 'How 351 can I alone 905 bear 5375 the load 2960 and burden 4853 of you and your strife 7379?
13 'Choose 3051 wise 2450 and discerning 995 and experienced 3045 men 376 from your tribes 7626, and I will appoint 7760 them as your heads 7218.'
14 "You answered 6030 me and said 559, 'The thing 1697 which 834 you have said 1696 to do 6213 is good 2896.'
15 "So I took 3947 the heads 7218 of your tribes 7626, wise 2450 and experienced 3045 men 376, and appointed 5414 them heads 7218 over 5921 you, leaders 8269 of thousands 505 and of hundreds 3967, of fifties 2572 and of tens 6235, and officers 7860 for your tribes 7626.
16 ¶ "Then I charged 6680 your judges 8199 at that time 6256, saying 559, 'Hear 8085 {the cases} between 996 your fellow 251 countrymen 251, and judge 8199 righteously 6664 between 996 a man 376 and his fellow 251 countryman 251, or the alien 1616 who is with him.
17 'You shall not show 5234 partiality in judgment 4941; you shall hear 8085 the small 6996 and the great 1419 alike. You shall not fear 1481 man 376, for the judgment 4941 is God's 430. The case 1697 that is too 4480 hard 7185 for you, you shall bring 7126 to me, and I will hear 8085 it.'
18 "I commanded 6680 you at that time 6256 all 3605 the things 1697 that you should do 6213.
19 ¶ "Then we set 5265 out from Horeb 2722, and went 1980 through all 3605 that great 1419 and terrible 3372 wilderness 4057 which 834 you saw 7200 on the way 1870 to the hill 2022 country 2022 of the Amorites 567, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 our God 430 had commanded 6680 us; and we came 935 to Kadesh-barnea 6947.
20 "I said 559 to you, 'You have come 935 to the hill 2022 country 2022 of the Amorites 567 which 834 the LORD 3068 our God 430 is about to give 5414 us.
21 'See 7200, the LORD 3068 your God 430 has placed 5414 the land 776 before 6440 you; go 5927 up, take 3423 possession 3423, as the LORD 3068, the God 430 of your fathers 1, has spoken 1696 to you. Do not fear 3372 or be dismayed 2865.'
22 ¶ "Then all 3605 of you approached 7126 me and said 559, 'Let us send 7971 men 376 before 6440 us, that they may search 2658 out the land 776 for us, and bring 7725 back 7725 to us word 1697 of the way 1870 by which 834 we should go 5927 up and the cities 5892 which 834 we shall enter 935.'
23 "The thing 1697 pleased me and I took 3947 twelve of your men 376, one 259 man 376 for each tribe 7626.
24 "They turned 6437 and went 5927 up into the hill 2022 country 2022, and came 935 to the valley 5158 of Eshcol 812 and spied 7270 it out.
25 "Then they took 3947 {some} of the fruit 6529 of the land 776 in their hands 3027 and brought 3381 it down 3381 to us; and they brought 7725 us back 7725 a report 1697 and said 559, 'It is a good 2896 land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 our God 430 is about to give 5414 us.'
26 ¶ "Yet you were not willing 14 to go 5927 up, but rebelled 4784 against 854 the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 your God 430;
27 and you grumbled 7279 in your tents 168 and said 559, 'Because the LORD 3068 hates 8135 us, He has brought 3318 us out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714 to deliver 5414 us into the hand 3027 of the Amorites 567 to destroy 8045 us.
28 'Where 575 can we go 5927 up? Our brethren 251 have made our hearts 3824 melt 4549, saying 559, "The people 5971 are bigger 1419 and taller 7311 than 4480 we; the cities 5892 are large 1419 and fortified 1219 to heaven 8064. And besides 1571, we saw 7200 the sons 1121 of the Anakim 6062 there 8033."'
29 "Then I said 559 to you, 'Do not be shocked 6206, nor 3808 fear 3372 them.
30 'The LORD 3068 your God 430 who goes 1980 before 6440 you will Himself 1931 fight 3898 on your behalf, just as He did 6213 for you in Egypt 4714 before your eyes 5869,
31 and in the wilderness 4057 where 834 you saw 7200 how 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 carried 5375 you, just 3512 as a man 376 carries 5375 his son 1121, in all 3605 the way 1870 which 834 you have walked 1980 until 5704 you came 935 to this 2088 place 4725.'
32 "But for all this 2088, you did not trust 539 the LORD 3068 your God 430,
33 who goes 1980 before 6440 you on {your} way 1870, to seek 8446 out a place 4725 for you to encamp 2583, in fire 784 by night 3915 and cloud 6051 by day 3119, to show 7200 you the way 1870 in which 834 you should go 1980.
34 ¶ "Then the LORD 3068 heard 8085 the sound 6963 of your words 1697, and He was angry 7107 and took 7650 an oath 7650, saying 559,
35 'Not one 376 of these 428 men 376, this 2088 evil 7451 generation 1755, shall see 7200 the good 2896 land 776 which 834 I swore 7650 to give 5414 your fathers 1,
36 except 2108 Caleb 3612 the son 1121 of Jephunneh 3312; he shall see 7200 it, and to him and to his sons 1121 I will give 5414 the land 776 on which 834 he has set 1869 foot 1869, because he has followed 310 the LORD 3068 fully 4390.'
37 "The LORD 3068 was angry 599 with me also 1571 on your account 1558, saying 559, 'Not even 1571 you shall enter 935 there 8033.
38 'Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126, who stands 5975 before 6440 you, he shall enter 935 there 8033; encourage 2388 him, for he will cause Israel 3478 to inherit 5157 it.
39 'Moreover, your little 2945 ones 2945 who 834 you said 559 would become 1961 a prey 957, and your sons 1121, who 834 this day 3117 have 3045 no 3808 knowledge 3045 of good 2896 or evil 7451, shall enter 935 there 8033, and I will give 5414 it to them and they shall possess 3423 it.
40 'But as for you, turn 6437 around and set 5265 out for the wilderness 4057 by the way 1870 to the Red Sea 3220.'
41 ¶ "Then you said 559 to me, 'We have sinned 2398 against the LORD 3068; we will indeed go 5927 up and fight 3898, just as the LORD 3068 our God 430 commanded 6680 us.' And every 376 man 376 of you girded 2296 on his weapons 3627 of war 4421, and regarded 1951 it as easy 1951 to go 5927 up into the hill 2022 country 2022.
42 "And the LORD 3068 said 559 to me, 'Say 559 to them, "Do not go 5927 up nor 3808 fight 3898, for I am not among 7130 you; otherwise 3808 you will be defeated 5062 before 6440 your enemies 340."'
43 "So I spoke 1696 to you, but you would not listen 8085. Instead you rebelled 4784 against 854 the command 6310 of the LORD 3068, and acted 2102 presumptuously 2102 and went 5927 up into the hill 2022 country 2022.
44 "The Amorites 567 who lived 3427 in that hill 2022 country 2022 came 3318 out against 7122 you and chased 7291 you as bees 1682 do 6213, and crushed 3807 you from Seir 8165 to Hormah 2767.
45 "Then you returned 7725 and wept 1058 before 6440 the LORD 3068; but the LORD 3068 did not listen 8085 to your voice 6963 nor 3808 give 238 ear 238 to you.
46 "So you remained 3427 in Kadesh 6946 many 7227 days 3117, the days 3117 that you spent 3427 {there.}

Wanderings in the Wilderness

"Then we turned 6437 and set 5265 out for the wilderness 4057 by the way 1870 to the Red Sea 3220, as the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to me, and circled 5437 Mount 2022 Seir 8165 for many 7227 days 3117.
2 "And the LORD 3068 spoke 559 to me, saying 559,
3 'You have circled 5437 this 2088 mountain 2022 long 7227 enough 7227. {Now} turn 6437 north 6828,
4 and command 6680 the people 5971, saying 559, "You will pass 5674 through the territory 1366 of your brothers 251 the sons 1121 of Esau 6215 who live 3427 in Seir 8165; and they will be afraid 3372 of you. So be very 3966 careful 8104;
5 do not provoke 1624 them, for I will not give 5414 you any 4480 of their land 776, even 5704 {as little as} a footstep because 3588 I have given 5414 Mount 2022 Seir 8165 to Esau 6215 as a possession 3425.
6 "You shall buy 7666 food 400 from them with money 3701 so that you may eat 398, and you shall also 1571 purchase 3739 water 4325 from them with money 3701 so that you may drink 8354.
7 "For the LORD 3068 your God 430 has blessed 1288 you in all 3605 that you have done 3027; He has known 3045 your wanderings 1980 through this 2088 great 1419 wilderness 4057. These 2088 forty 705 years 8141 the LORD 3068 your God 430 has been with you; you have not lacked 2637 a thing 1697."'
8 ¶ "So we passed 5674 beyond our brothers 251 the sons 1121 of Esau 6215, who live 3427 in Seir 8165, away 4480 from the Arabah 6160 road 1870, away 4480 from Elath 365 and from Ezion-geber 6100. And we turned 6437 and passed 5674 through 5674 by the way 1870 of the wilderness 4057 of Moab 4124.
9 "Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to me, 'Do not harass 6696 Moab 4124, nor 408 provoke 1624 them to war 4421, for I will not give 5414 you any 4480 of their land 776 as a possession 3425, because 3588 I have given 5414 Ar 6144 to the sons 1121 of Lot 3876 as a possession 3425.'
10 (The Emim 368 lived 3427 there formerly 6440, a people 5971 as great 1419, numerous 7227, and tall 7311 as the Anakim 6062.
11 Like the Anakim 6062, they are also 637 regarded 2803 as Rephaim 7497, but the Moabites 4125 call 7121 them Emim 368.
12 The Horites 2752 formerly 6440 lived 3427 in Seir 8165, but the sons 1121 of Esau 6215 dispossessed 3423 them and destroyed 8045 them from before 6440 them and settled 3427 in their place 8478, just 3512 as Israel 3478 did 6213 to the land 776 of their possession 3425 which 834 the LORD 3068 gave 5414 to them.)
13 'Now 6258 arise 6965 and cross 5674 over 5674 the brook 5158 Zered 2218 yourselves.' So we crossed 5674 over 5674 the brook 5158 Zered 2218.
14 "Now the time 3117 that it took 1980 for us to come 1980 from Kadesh-barnea 6947 until we crossed 5674 over 5674 the brook 5158 Zered 2218 was thirty-eight years 8141, until 5704 all 3605 the generation 1755 of the men 376 of war 4421 perished 8552 from within 7130 the camp 4264, as the LORD 3068 had sworn 7650 to them.
15 "Moreover 1571 the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 was against them, to destroy 2000 them from within 7130 the camp 4264 until 5704 they all perished 8552.
16 ¶ "So it came 1961 about when 3512 all 3605 the men 376 of war 4421 had finally 8552 perished from among 7130 the people 5971,
17 that the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to me, saying 559,
18 'Today 3117 you shall cross 5674 over 5674 Ar 6144, the border 1366 of Moab 4124.
19 'When you come 7126 opposite 4136 the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983, do not harass 6696 them nor 408 provoke 1624 them, for I will not give 5414 you any 4480 of the land 776 of the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983 as a possession 3425, because 3588 I have given 5414 it to the sons 1121 of Lot 3876 as a possession 3425.'
20 (It is also 637 regarded 2803 as the land 776 of the Rephaim 7497, {for} Rephaim 7497 formerly 6440 lived 3427 in it, but the Ammonites 5984 call 7121 them Zamzummin 2157,
21 a people 5971 as great 1419, numerous 7227, and tall 7311 as the Anakim 6062, but the LORD 3068 destroyed 8045 them before 6440 them. And they dispossessed 3423 them and settled 3427 in their place 8478,
22 just 3512 as He did 6213 for the sons 1121 of Esau 6215, who live 3427 in Seir 8165, when 834 He destroyed 8045 the Horites 2752 from before 6440 them; they dispossessed 3423 them and settled 3427 in their place 8478 even 5704 to this 2088 day 3117.
23 And the Avvim 5761, who lived 3427 in villages 2691 as far 5704 as Gaza 5804, the Caphtorim 3732 who came 3318 from Caphtor 3731, destroyed 8045 them and lived 3427 in their place 8478.)
24 'Arise 6965, set 5265 out, and pass 5674 through 5674 the valley 5158 of Arnon 769. Look 7200! I have given 5414 Sihon 5511 the Amorite 567, king 4428 of Heshbon 2809, and his land 776 into your hand 3027; begin 2490 to take 3423 possession 3423 and contend 1624 with him in battle 4421.
25 'This 2088 day 3117 I will begin 2490 to put 5414 the dread 6343 and fear 3374 of you upon the peoples 5971 everywhere 3605 under 8478 the heavens 8064, who 834, when they hear 8085 the report 8088 of you, will tremble 7264 and be in anguish 2342 because of you.'
26 ¶ "So I sent 7971 messengers 4397 from the wilderness 4057 of Kedemoth 6932 to Sihon 5511 king 4428 of Heshbon 2809 with words 1697 of peace 7965, saying 559,
27 'Let me pass 5674 through your land 776, I will travel 1980 only on the highway 1870; I will not turn 5493 aside 5493 to the right 3225 or to the left 8040.
28 'You will sell 7666 me food 400 for money 3701 so that I may eat 398, and give 5414 me water 4325 for money 3701 so that I may drink 8354, only 7534 let me pass 5674 through 5674 on foot 7272,
29 just 3512 as the sons 1121 of Esau 6215 who live 3427 in Seir 8165 and the Moabites 4125 who live 3427 in Ar 6144 did 6213 for me, until I cross 5674 over 5674 the Jordan 3383 into the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 our God 430 is giving 5414 to us.'
30 "But Sihon 5511 king 4428 of Heshbon 2809 was not willing 14 for us to pass 5674 through his land; for the LORD 3068 your God 430 hardened 7185 his spirit 7307 and made 553 his heart 3824 obstinate 553, in order 4616 to deliver 5414 him into your hand 3027, as {he is} today 3117.
31 "The LORD 3068 said 559 to me, 'See 7200, I have begun 2490 to deliver 5414 Sihon 5511 and his land 776 over 6440 to you. Begin 2490 to occupy 3423, that you may possess 3423 his land 776.'
32 ¶ "Then Sihon 5511 with all 3605 his people 5971 came 3318 out to meet 7122 us in battle 4421 at Jahaz 3096.
33 "The LORD 3068 our God 430 delivered 5414 him over 6440 to us, and we defeated 5221 him with his sons 1121 and all 3605 his people 5971.
34 "So we captured 3920 all 3605 his cities 5892 at that time 6256 and utterly 2763 destroyed 2763 the men 4962, women 802 and children 2945 of every 3605 city 5892. We left 7604 no 3808 survivor 8300.
35 "We took 962 only 7534 the animals 929 as our booty 962 and the spoil 7998 of the cities 5892 which 834 we had captured 3920.
36 "From Aroer 6177 which 834 is on the edge 8193 of the valley 5158 of Arnon 769 and {from} the city 5892 which 834 is in the valley 5158, even to Gilead 1568, there was no 3808 city 7151 that was too 4480 high 7682 for us; the LORD 3068 our God 430 delivered 5414 all 3605 over 6440 to us.
37 "Only 7534 you did not go 7126 near 7126 to the land 776 of the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983, all 3605 along 3027 the river 5158 Jabbok 2999 and the cities 5892 of the hill 2022 country 2022, and wherever the LORD 3068 our God 430 had commanded 6680 us.

Conquests Recounted

"Then we turned 6437 and went 5927 up the road 1870 to Bashan 1316, and Og 5747, king 4428 of Bashan 1316, with all 3605 his people 5971 came 3318 out to meet 7122 us in battle 4421 at Edrei 154.
2 "But the LORD 3068 said 559 to me, 'Do not fear 3372 him, for I have delivered 5414 him and all 3605 his people 5971 and his land 776 into your hand 3027; and you shall do 6213 to him just 3512 as you did 6213 to Sihon 5511 king 4428 of the Amorites 567, who 834 lived 3427 at Heshbon 2809.'
3 "So the LORD 3068 our God 430 delivered 5414 Og 5747 also 1571, king 4428 of Bashan 1316, with all 3605 his people 5971 into our hand 3027, and we smote 5221 them until 5704 no 1115 survivor 8300 was left 7604.
4 "We captured 3920 all 3605 his cities 5892 at that time 6256; there was not a city 7151 which 834 we did not take 3947 from them: sixty 8346 cities 5892, all 3605 the region 2256 of Argob 709, the kingdom 4467 of Og 5747 in Bashan 1316.
5 "All 3605 these 428 were cities 5892 fortified 1219 with high 1364 walls 2346, gates 1817 and bars 1280, besides a great 3966 many 7235 unwalled 6521 towns 5892.
6 "We utterly 2763 destroyed 2763 them, as we did 6213 to Sihon 5511 king 4428 of Heshbon 2809, utterly 2763 destroying 2763 the men 4962, women 802 and children 2945 of every 3605 city 5892.
7 "But all 3605 the animals 929 and the spoil 7998 of the cities 5892 we took 962 as our booty 962.
8 ¶ "Thus we took 3947 the land 776 at that time 6256 from the hand 3027 of the two 8147 kings 4428 of the Amorites 567 who 834 were beyond 5676 the Jordan 3383, from the valley 5158 of Arnon 769 to Mount 2022 Hermon 2768
9 (Sidonians 6722 call 7121 Hermon 2768 Sirion 8303, and the Amorites 567 call 7121 it Senir 8149):
10 all 3605 the cities 5892 of the plateau 4334 and all 3605 Gilead 1568 and all 3605 Bashan 1316, as far 5704 as Salecah 5548 and Edrei 154, cities 5892 of the kingdom 4467 of Og 5747 in Bashan 1316.
11 (For only 7534 Og 5747 king 4428 of Bashan 1316 was left 7604 of the remnant 3499 of the Rephaim 7497. Behold 2009, his bedstead 6210 was an iron 1270 bedstead 6210; it is in Rabbah 7237 of the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983. Its length 753 was nine 8672 cubits 520 and its width 7341 four 702 cubits 520 by ordinary 376 cubit 520.)
12 ¶ "So we took 3423 possession 3423 of this 2088 land 776 at that time 6256. From Aroer 6177, which 834 is by the valley 5158 of Arnon 769, and half 2677 the hill 2022 country 2022 of Gilead 1568 and its cities 5892 I gave 5414 to the Reubenites 7206 and to the Gadites 1425.
13 "The rest 3499 of Gilead 1568 and all 3605 Bashan 1316, the kingdom 4467 of Og 5747, I gave 5414 to the half-tribe of Manasseh 4519, all 3605 the region 2256 of Argob 709 (concerning all 3605 Bashan 1316, it is called 7121 the land 776 of Rephaim 7497.
14 Jair 2971 the son 1121 of Manasseh 4519 took 3947 all 3605 the region 2256 of Argob 709 as far 5704 as the border 1366 of the Geshurites 1651 and the Maacathites 4602, and called 7121 it, {that is,} Bashan 1316, after 5921 his own name 8034, Havvoth-jair 2334, {as it is} to this 2088 day 3117.)
15 "To Machir 4353 I gave 5414 Gilead 1568.
16 "To the Reubenites 7206 and to the Gadites 1425 I gave 5414 from Gilead 1568 even as far 5704 as the valley 5158 of Arnon 769, the middle 8432 of the valley 5158 as a border 1366 and as far 5704 as the river 5158 Jabbok 2999, the border 1366 of the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983;
17 the Arabah 6160 also, with the Jordan 3383 as {a} border 1366, from Chinnereth 3672 even as far 5704 as the sea 3220 of the Arabah 6160, the Salt 4417 Sea 3220, at the foot 8478 of the slopes 794 of Pisgah 6449 on the east 4217.
18 ¶ "Then I commanded 6680 you at that time 6256, saying 559, 'The LORD 3068 your God 430 has given 5414 you this 2088 land 776 to possess 3423 it; all 3605 you valiant 2428 men 1121 shall cross 5674 over 5674 armed 2502 before 6440 your brothers 251, the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
19 'But your wives 802 and your little 2945 ones 2945 and your livestock 4735 (I know 3045 that you have much 7227 livestock 4735) shall remain 3427 in your cities 5892 which 834 I have given 5414 you,
20 until 5704 the LORD 3068 gives 5117 rest 5117 to your fellow 251 countrymen 251 as to you, and they also 1571 possess 3423 the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 will give 5414 them beyond 5676 the Jordan 3383. Then you may return 7725 every 376 man 376 to his possession 3425 which 834 I have given 5414 you.'
21 "I commanded 6680 Joshua 3091 at that time 6256, saying 559, 'Your eyes 5869 have seen 7200 all 3605 that the LORD 3068 your God 430 has done 6213 to these 428 two 8147 kings 4428; so 3651 the LORD 3068 shall do 6213 to all 3605 the kingdoms 4467 into which 834 you are about to cross 5674.
22 'Do not fear 3372 them, for the LORD 3068 your God 430 is the one fighting 3898 for you.'
23 ¶ "I also pleaded 2603 with the LORD 3068 at that time 6256, saying 559,
24 'O Lord 136 GOD 3068, You have begun 2490 to show 7200 Your servant 5650 Your greatness 1433 and Your strong 2389 hand 3027; for what 4310 god 410 is there in heaven 8064 or on earth 776 who 834 can do 6213 such works 4639 and mighty 1369 acts 1369 as Yours?
25 'Let me, I pray 4994, cross 5674 over 5674 and see 7200 the fair 2896 land 776 that is beyond 5676 the Jordan 3383, that good 2896 hill 2022 country 2022 and Lebanon 3844.'
26 "But the LORD 3068 was angry 5674 with me on your account 4616, and would not listen 8085 to me; and the LORD 3068 said 559 to me, 'Enough 7227! Speak 1696 to Me no 408 more of this 2088 matter 1697.
27 'Go 5927 up to the top 7218 of Pisgah 6449 and lift 5375 up your eyes 5869 to the west 3220 and north 6828 and south 8486 and east 4217, and see 7200 {it} with your eyes 5869, for you shall not cross 5674 over 5674 this 2088 Jordan 3383.
28 'But charge 6680 Joshua 3091 and encourage 2388 him and strengthen 553 him, for he shall go 5674 across 5674 at the head 6440 of this 2088 people 5971, and he will give 5159 them as an inheritance 5157 the land 776 which 834 you will see 7200.'
29 "So we remained 3427 in the valley 1516 opposite 4136 Beth-peor 1047.

Israel Urged to Obey God's Law

"Now 6258, O Israel 3478, listen 8085 to the statutes 2706 and the judgments 4941 which 834 I am teaching 3925 you to perform 6213, so 4616 that you may live 2421 and go 935 in and take 3423 possession 3423 of the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of your fathers 1, is giving 5414 you.
2 "You shall not add 3254 to the word 1697 which 834 I am commanding 6680 you, nor 3808 take 1639 away 1639 from it, that you may keep 8104 the commandments 4687 of the LORD 3068 your God 430 which 834 I command 6680 you.
3 "Your eyes 5869 have seen 7200 what the LORD 3068 has done 6213 in the case of Baal-peor 1187, for all 3605 the men 376 who 834 followed Baal-peor 1187, the LORD 3068 your God 430 has destroyed 8045 them from among 7130 you.
4 "But you who held 1695 fast 1695 to the LORD 3068 your God 430 are alive 2416 today 3117, every 3605 one 3605 of you.
5 ¶ "See 7200, I have taught 3925 you statutes 2706 and judgments 4941 just 3512 as the LORD 3068 my God 430 commanded 6680 me, that you should do 6213 thus 3651 in the land 776 where you are entering 935 to possess 3423 it.
6 "So keep 8104 and do 6213 {them,} for that is your wisdom 2451 and your understanding 998 in the sight 5869 of the peoples 5971 who 834 will hear 8085 all 3605 these 428 statutes 2706 and say 559, 'Surely 7534 this 2088 great 1419 nation 1471 is a wise 2450 and understanding 995 people 5971.'
7 "For what 4310 great 1419 nation 1471 is there that has a god 430 so near 7138 to it as is the LORD 3068 our God 430 whenever 3605 we call 7121 on Him?
8 "Or what 4310 great 1419 nation 1471 is there that has statutes 2706 and judgments 4941 as righteous 6662 as this 2088 whole 3605 law 8451 which 834 I am setting 5414 before 6440 you today 3117?
9 ¶ "Only 7534 give 8104 heed 8104 to yourself and keep 8104 your soul 5315 diligently 3966, so 6435 that you do not forget 7911 the things 1697 which 834 your eyes 5869 have seen 7200 and they do not depart 5493 from your heart 3824 all 3605 the days 3117 of your life 2425; but make 3045 them known 3045 to your sons 1121 and your grandsons 1121.
10 "{Remember} the day 3117 you stood 5975 before 6440 the LORD 3068 your God 430 at Horeb 2722, when the LORD 3068 said 559 to me, 'Assemble 6950 the people 5971 to Me, that I may let them hear 8085 My words 1697 so 834 they may learn 3925 to fear 3372 Me all 3605 the days 3117 they live 2416 on the earth 127, and that they may teach 3925 their children 1121.'
11 "You came 7126 near 7126 and stood 5975 at the foot 8478 of the mountain 2022, and the mountain 2022 burned 1197 with fire 784 to the {very} heart 3820 of the heavens 8064: darkness 2822, cloud 6051 and thick 6205 gloom 6205.
12 "Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to you from the midst 8432 of the fire 784; you heard 8085 the sound 6963 of words 1697, but you saw 7200 no 369 form 8544--only 2108 a voice 6963.
13 "So He declared 5046 to you His covenant 1285 which 834 He commanded 6680 you to perform 6213, {that is,} the Ten 6235 Commandments 1697; and He wrote 3789 them on two 8147 tablets 3871 of stone 68.
14 "The LORD 3068 commanded 6680 me at that time 6256 to teach 3925 you statutes 2706 and judgments 4941, that you might perform 6213 them in the land 776 where you are going 5674 over 5674 to possess 3423 it.
15 ¶ "So watch 8104 yourselves 5315 carefully 3966, since 3588 you did not see 7200 any 3605 form 8544 on the day 3117 the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to you at Horeb 2722 from the midst 8432 of the fire 784,
16 so 6435 that you do not act 7843 corruptly 7843 and make 6213 a graven 6459 image 6459 for yourselves in the form 8544 of any 3605 figure 5566, the likeness 8403 of male 2145 or 176 female 5347,
17 the likeness 8403 of any 3605 animal 929 that is on the earth 776, the likeness 8403 of any 3605 winged 3671 bird 6833 that flies 5774 in the sky 8064,
18 the likeness 8403 of anything 3605 that creeps 7430 on the ground 127, the likeness 8403 of any 3605 fish 1710 that is in the water 4325 below the earth 776.
19 "And {beware} not to lift 5375 up your eyes 5869 to heaven 8064 and see 7200 the sun 8121 and the moon 3394 and the stars 3556, all 3605 the host 6635 of heaven 8064, and be drawn 5080 away 5080 and worship 7812 them and serve 5647 them, those which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 has allotted 2505 to all 3605 the peoples 5971 under 8478 the whole 3605 heaven 8064.
20 "But the LORD 3068 has taken 3947 you and brought 3318 you out of the iron 1270 furnace 3564, from Egypt 4714, to be a people 5971 for His own possession 5159, as today 3117.
21 ¶ "Now the LORD 3068 was angry 599 with me on your account, and swore 7650 that I would not cross 5674 the Jordan 3383, and that I would not enter 935 the good 2896 land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 is giving 5414 you as an inheritance 5159.
22 "For I will die 4191 in this 2088 land 776, I shall not cross 5674 the Jordan 3383, but you shall cross 5674 and take 3423 possession 3423 of this 2088 good 2896 land 776.
23 "So watch 8104 yourselves, that you do not forget 7911 the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 your God 430 which 834 He made 3772 with you, and make 6213 for yourselves a graven 6459 image 6459 in the form 8544 of anything 3605 {against} which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 has commanded 6680 you.
24 "For the LORD 3068 your God 430 is a consuming 398 fire 784, a jealous 7067 God 410.
25 ¶ "When 3588 you become 3205 the father 3205 of children 1121 and children's 1121 children 1121 and have remained 3462 long 3462 in the land 776, and act 7843 corruptly 7843, and make 6213 an idol 6459 in the form 8544 of anything 3605, and do 6213 that which 7451 is evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068 your God 430 {so as} to provoke 3707 Him to anger 3707,
26 I call 5749 heaven 8064 and earth 776 to witness 5749 against you today 3117, that you will surely 6 perish 6 quickly 4118 from the land 776 where you are going 5674 over 5674 the Jordan 3383 to possess 3423 it. You shall not live 748 long on it, but will be utterly 8045 destroyed 8045.
27 "The LORD 3068 will scatter 6327 you among the peoples 5971, and you will be left 7604 few 4962 in number 4557 among the nations 1471 where the LORD 3068 drives 5090 you.
28 "There 8033 you will serve 5647 gods 430, the work 4639 of man's 120 hands 3027, wood 6086 and stone 68, which 834 neither 3808 see 7200 nor 3808 hear 8085 nor 3808 eat 398 nor 3808 smell 7381.
29 "But from there 8033 you will seek 1245 the LORD 3068 your God 430, and you will find 4672 {Him} if 3588 you search 1875 for Him with all 3605 your heart 3824 and all 3605 your soul 5315.
30 "When you are in distress 6862 and all 3605 these 428 things 1697 have come 4672 upon you, in the latter 319 days 3117 you will return 7725 to the LORD 3068 your God 430 and listen 8085 to His voice 6963.
31 "For the LORD 3068 your God 430 is a compassionate 7349 God 410; He will not fail 7503 you nor 3808 destroy 7843 you nor 3808 forget 7911 the covenant 1285 with your fathers 1 which 834 He swore 7650 to them.
32 ¶ "Indeed 3588, ask 7592 now 4994 concerning the former 7223 days 3117 which 834 were before 6440 you, since 4480 the day 3117 that God 430 created 1254 man 120 on the earth 776, and {inquire} from one end 7097 of the heavens 8064 to the other. Has {anything} been done 1961 like this 2088 great 1419 thing 1697, or 176 has {anything} been heard 8085 like 3644 it?
33 "Has {any} people 5971 heard 8085 the voice 6963 of God 430 speaking 1696 from the midst 8432 of the fire 784, as you have heard 8085 {it,} and survived 2421?
34 "Or 176 has a god 430 tried 5254 to go 935 to take 3947 for himself a nation 1471 from within 7130 {another} nation 1471 by trials 4531, by signs 226 and wonders 4159 and by war 4421 and by a mighty 2389 hand 3027 and by an outstretched 5186 arm 2220 and by great 1419 terrors 4172, as the LORD 3068 your God 430 did 6213 for you in Egypt 4714 before your eyes 5869?
35 "To you it was shown 7200 that you might know 3045 that the LORD 3068, He is God 430; there 369 is no 369 other 5750 besides Him.
36 "Out of the heavens 8064 He let you hear 8085 His voice 6963 to discipline 3256 you; and on earth 776 He let you see 7200 His great 1419 fire 784, and you heard 8085 His words 1697 from the midst 8432 of the fire 784.
37 "Because He loved 157 your fathers 1, therefore He chose 977 their descendants 2233 after 310 them. And He personally 6440 brought 3318 you from Egypt 4714 by His great 1419 power 3581,
38 driving 3423 out from before 6440 you nations 1471 greater 1419 and mightier 6099 than 4480 you, to bring 935 you in {and} to give 5414 you their land 776 for an inheritance 5159, as it is today 3117.
39 "Know 3045 therefore today 3117, and take 7725 it to your heart 3824, that the LORD 3068, He is God 430 in heaven 8064 above and on the earth 776 below; there 369 is no 369 other 5750.
40 "So you shall keep 8104 His statutes 2706 and His commandments 4687 which 834 I am giving 6680 you today 3117, that it may go 3190 well 3190 with you and with your children 1121 after 310 you, and that you may live 748 long on the land 127 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 is giving 5414 you for all 3605 time 3117."
41 ¶ Then 227 Moses 4872 set 914 apart 914 three 7969 cities 5892 across 5676 the Jordan 3383 to the east,
42 that a manslayer 7523 might flee 5127 there 8033, who 834 unintentionally slew 7523 his neighbor 7453 without 3808 having enmity 8130 toward him in time 8032 past 8543; and by fleeing 5127 to one 259 of these 411 cities 5892 he might live 2421:
43 Bezer 1221 in the wilderness 4057 on the plateau for the Reubenites 7206, and Ramoth 7216 in Gilead 1568 for the Gadites 1425, and Golan 1474 in Bashan 1316 for the Manassites 4520.
44 ¶ Now this 2088 is the law 8451 which 834 Moses 4872 set 7760 before 6440 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478;
45 these 428 are the testimonies 5713 and the statutes 2706 and the ordinances 4941 which 834 Moses 4872 spoke 1696 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, when they came 3318 out from Egypt 4714,
46 across 5676 the Jordan 3383, in the valley 1516 opposite 4136 Beth-peor 1047, in the land 776 of Sihon 5511 king 4428 of the Amorites 567 who 834 lived 3427 at Heshbon 2809, whom 834 Moses 4872 and the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 defeated 5221 when they came 3318 out from Egypt 4714.
47 They took 3423 possession 3423 of his land 776 and the land 776 of Og 5747 king 4428 of Bashan 1316, the two 8147 kings 4428 of the Amorites 567, {who were} across 5676 the Jordan 3383 to the east,
48 from Aroer 6177, which 834 is on the edge 8193 of the valley 5158 of Arnon 769, even as far 5704 as Mount 2022 Sion 7865 (that is, Hermon 2768),
49 with all 3605 the Arabah 6160 across 5676 the Jordan 3383 to the east 4217, even as far 5704 as the sea 3220 of the Arabah 6160, at the foot 8478 of the slopes 794 of Pisgah 6449.

The Ten Commandments Repeated

Then Moses 4872 summoned 7121 all 3605 Israel 3478 and said 559 to them:
2 ¶ "The LORD 3068 our God 430 made 3772 a covenant 1285 with us at Horeb 2722.
3 "The LORD 3068 did not make 3772 this 2088 covenant 1285 with our fathers 1, but with us, {with} all 3605 those 428 of us alive 2416 here 6311 today 3117.
4 "The LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to you face 6440 to face 6440 at the mountain 2022 from the midst 8432 of the fire 784,
5 {while} I was standing 5975 between 996 the LORD 3068 and you at that time 6256, to declare 5046 to you the word 1697 of the LORD 3068; for you were afraid 3372 because of the fire 784 and did not go 5927 up the mountain 2022. He said 559,
6 ¶ 'I am the LORD 3068 your God 430 who 834 brought 3318 you out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, out of the house 1004 of slavery 5650.
7 ¶ 'You shall have 1961 no 3808 other 312 gods 430 before 6440 Me.
8 ¶ 'You shall not make 6213 for yourself an idol 6459, {or} any 3605 likeness 8544 {of} what 834 is in heaven 8064 above or on the earth 776 beneath or in the water 4325 under 8478 the earth 776.
9 'You shall not worship 7812 them or serve 5647 them; for I, the LORD 3068 your God 430, am a jealous 7067 God 410, visiting 6485 the iniquity 5771 of the fathers 1 on the children 1121, and on the third 8029 and the fourth 7256 {generations} of those who hate 8130 Me,
10 but showing 6213 lovingkindness 2617 to thousands 505, to those who love 157 Me and keep 8104 My commandments 4687.
11 ¶ 'You shall not take 5375 the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 your God 430 in vain 7723, for the LORD 3068 will not leave 5352 him unpunished 5352 who 834 takes 5375 His name 8034 in vain 7723.
12 ¶ 'Observe 8104 the sabbath 7676 day 3117 to keep 6942 it holy 6942, as the LORD 3068 your God 430 commanded 6680 you.
13 'Six 8337 days 3117 you shall labor 5647 and do 6213 all 3605 your work 4399,
14 but the seventh 7637 day 3117 is a sabbath 7676 of the LORD 3068 your God 430; {in it} you shall not do 6213 any 3605 work 4399, you or your son 1121 or your daughter 1323 or your male 5650 servant 5650 or your female 519 servant 519 or your ox 7794 or your donkey 2543 or any 3605 of your cattle 929 or your sojourner 1616 who 834 stays with you, so 4616 that your male 5650 servant 5650 and your female 519 servant 519 may rest 5117 as well as you.
15 'You shall remember 2142 that you were a slave 5650 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, and the LORD 3068 your God 430 brought 3318 you out of there 8033 by a mighty 2389 hand 3027 and by an outstretched 5186 arm 2220; therefore the LORD 3068 your God 430 commanded 6680 you to observe 6213 the sabbath 7676 day 3117.
16 ¶ 'Honor 3513 your father 1 and your mother 517, as the LORD 3068 your God 430 has commanded 6680 you, that your days 3117 may be prolonged 748 and that it may go 3190 well 3190 with you on the land 127 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 gives 5414 you.
17 ¶ 'You shall not murder 7523.
18 ¶ 'You shall not commit 5003 adultery 5003.
19 ¶ 'You shall not steal 1589.
20 ¶ 'You shall not bear 6030 false 7723 witness 5707 against your neighbor 7453.
21 ¶ 'You shall not covet 2530 your neighbor's 7453 wife 802, and you shall not desire 183 your neighbor's 7453 house 1004, his field 7704 or his male 5650 servant 5650 or his female 519 servant 519, his ox 7794 or his donkey 2543 or anything 3605 that belongs to your neighbor 7453.'
22

Moses Interceded

¶ "These 428 words 1697 the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to all 3605 your assembly 6951 at the mountain 2022 from the midst 8432 of the fire 784, {of} the cloud 6051 and {of} the thick 6205 gloom 6205, with a great 1419 voice 6963, and He added 3254 no 3808 more 3254. He wrote 3789 them on two 8147 tablets 3871 of stone 68 and gave 5414 them to me.
23 "And when you heard 8085 the voice 6963 from the midst 8432 of the darkness 2822, while the mountain 2022 was burning 1197 with fire 784, you came 7126 near 7126 to me, all 3605 the heads 7218 of your tribes 7626 and your elders 2205.
24 "You said 559, 'Behold 2005, the LORD 3068 our God 430 has shown 7200 us His glory 3519 and His greatness 1433, and we have heard 8085 His voice 6963 from the midst 8432 of the fire 784; we have seen 7200 today 3117 that God 430 speaks 1696 with man 120, yet he lives 2421.
25 'Now 6258 then why 4100 should we die 4191? For this 2088 great 1419 fire 784 will consume 398 us; if 518 we hear 8085 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 our God 430 any 5750 longer 5750, then we will die 4191.
26 'For who 4310 is there of all 3605 flesh 1320 who 834 has heard 8085 the voice 6963 of the living 2416 God 430 speaking 1696 from the midst 8432 of the fire 784, as we {have,} and lived 2421?
27 'Go 7126 near 7126 and hear 8085 all 3605 that the LORD 3068 our God 430 says 559; then speak 1696 to us all 3605 that the LORD 3068 our God 430 speaks 1696 to you, and we will hear 8085 and do 6213 {it.}'
28 ¶ "The LORD 3068 heard 8085 the voice 6963 of your words 1697 when you spoke 1696 to me, and the LORD 3068 said 559 to me, 'I have heard 8085 the voice 6963 of the words 1697 of this 2088 people 5971 which 834 they have spoken 1696 to you. They have done 3190 well 3190 in all 3605 that they have spoken 1696.
29 'Oh that they had 1961 such 2088 a heart 3824 in them, that they would fear 3372 Me and keep 8104 all 3605 My commandments 4687 always, that it may be well 3190 with them and with their sons 1121 forever 5769!
30 'Go 1980, say 559 to them, "Return 7725 to your tents 168."
31 'But as for you, stand 5975 here 6311 by Me, that I may speak 1696 to you all 3605 the commandments 4687 and the statutes 2706 and the judgments 4941 which 834 you shall teach 3925 them, that they may observe 6213 {them} in the land 776 which 834 I give 5414 them to possess 3423.'
32 "So you shall observe 6213 to do 6213 just 3512 as the LORD 3068 your God 430 has commanded 6680 you; you shall not turn 5493 aside 5493 to the right 3225 or to the left 8040.
33 "You shall walk 1980 in all 3605 the way 1870 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 has commanded 6680 you, that you may live 2421 and that it may be well 2895 with you, and that you may prolong 748 {your} days 3117 in the land 776 which 834 you will possess 3423.

Obey God and Prosper

"Now this 2088 is the commandment 4687, the statutes 2706 and the judgments 4941 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 has commanded 6680 {me} to teach 3925 you, that you might do 6213 {them} in the land 776 where you are going 5674 over 5674 to possess 3423 it,
2 so 4616 that you and your son 1121 and your grandson 1121 might fear 3372 the LORD 3068 your God 430, to keep 8104 all 3605 His statutes 2708 and His commandments 4687 which 834 I command 6680 you, all 3605 the days 3117 of your life 2425, and that your days 3117 may be prolonged 748.
3 "O Israel 3478, you should listen 8085 and be careful 8104 to do 6213 {it,} that it may be well 3190 with you and that you may multiply 7235 greatly 3966, just 3512 as the LORD 3068, the God 430 of your fathers 1, has promised 1696 you, {in} a land 776 flowing 2100 with milk 2461 and honey 1706.
4 ¶ "Hear 8085, O Israel 3478! The LORD 3068 is our God 430, the LORD 3068 is one 259!
5 "You shall love 157 the LORD 3068 your God 430 with all 3605 your heart 3824 and with all 3605 your soul 5315 and with all 3605 your might 3966.
6 "These 428 words 1697, which 834 I am commanding 6680 you today 3117, shall be on your heart 3824.
7 "You shall teach 8150 them diligently 8150 to your sons 1121 and shall talk 1696 of them when you sit 3427 in your house 1004 and when you walk 1980 by the way 1870 and when you lie 7901 down 7901 and when you rise 6965 up.
8 "You shall bind 7194 them as a sign 226 on your hand 3027 and they shall be as frontals 2903 on your forehead.
9 "You shall write 3789 them on the doorposts 4201 of your house 1004 and on your gates 8179.
10 ¶ "Then it shall come 1961 about when 3588 the LORD 3068 your God 430 brings 935 you into the land 776 which 834 He swore 7650 to your fathers 1, Abraham 85, Isaac 3327 and Jacob 3290, to give 5414 you, great 1419 and splendid 2896 cities 5892 which 834 you did not build 1129,
11 and houses 1004 full 4392 of all 3605 good 2898 things 2898 which 834 you did not fill 4390, and hewn 2672 cisterns 953 which 834 you did not dig 2672, vineyards 3754 and olive 2132 trees 2132 which 834 you did not plant 5193, and you eat 398 and are satisfied 7646,
12 then watch 8104 yourself, that you do not forget 7911 the LORD 3068 who 834 brought 3318 you from the land 776 of Egypt 4714, out of the house 1004 of slavery 5650.
13 "You shall fear 3372 {only} the LORD 3068 your God 430; and you shall worship 5647 Him and swear 7650 by His name 8034.
14 "You shall not follow other 312 gods 430, any 312 of the gods 430 of the peoples 5971 who 834 surround 5439 you,
15 for the LORD 3068 your God 430 in the midst 7130 of you is a jealous 7067 God 410; otherwise 6435 the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 your God 430 will be kindled 2734 against you, and He will wipe 8045 you off the face 6440 of the earth 127.
16 ¶ "You shall not put 5254 the LORD 3068 your God 430 to the test 5254, as you tested 5254 {Him} at Massah 4532.
17 "You should diligently 8104 keep 8104 the commandments 4687 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, and His testimonies 5713 and His statutes 2706 which 834 He has commanded 6680 you.
18 "You shall do 6213 what is right 3477 and good 2896 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, that it may be well 3190 with you and that you may go 935 in and possess 3423 the good 2896 land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 swore 7650 to {give} your fathers 1,
19 by driving 1920 out all 3605 your enemies 340 from before 6440 you, as the LORD 3068 has spoken 1696.
20 ¶ "When 3588 your son 1121 asks 7592 you in time 4279 to come 4279, saying 559, 'What 4100 {do} the testimonies 5713 and the statutes 2706 and the judgments 4941 {mean} which 834 the LORD 3068 our God 430 commanded 6680 you?'
21 then you shall say 559 to your son 1121, 'We were slaves 5650 to Pharaoh 6547 in Egypt 4714, and the LORD 3068 brought 3318 us from Egypt 4714 with a mighty 2389 hand 3027.
22 'Moreover, the LORD 3068 showed 5414 great 1419 and distressing 7451 signs 226 and wonders 4159 before our eyes 5869 against Egypt 4714, Pharaoh 6547 and all 3605 his household 1004;
23 He brought 3318 us out from there 8033 in order 4616 to bring 935 us in, to give 5414 us the land 776 which 834 He had sworn 7650 to our fathers 1.'
24 "So the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 us to observe 6213 all 3605 these 428 statutes 2706, to fear 3372 the LORD 3068 our God 430 for our good 2896 always and for our survival 2421, as {it is} today 3117.
25 "It will be righteousness 6666 for us if 3588 we are careful 8104 to observe 6213 all 3605 this 2088 commandment 4687 before 6440 the LORD 3068 our God 430, just 3512 as He commanded 6680 us.

Warnings

"When 3588 the LORD 3068 your God 430 brings 935 you into the land 776 where you are entering 935 to possess 3423 it, and clears 5394 away 5394 many 7227 nations 1471 before you, the Hittites 2850 and the Girgashites 1622 and the Amorites 567 and the Canaanites 3669 and the Perizzites 6522 and the Hivites 2340 and the Jebusites 2983, seven 7651 nations 1471 greater 7227 and stronger 6099 than 4480 you,
2 and when the LORD 3068 your God 430 delivers 5414 them before 6440 you and you defeat 5221 them, then you shall utterly 2763 destroy 2763 them. You shall make 3772 no 3808 covenant 1285 with them and show 2603 no 3808 favor 2603 to them.
3 "Furthermore, you shall not intermarry 2859 with them; you shall not give 5414 your daughters 1323 to their sons 1121, nor 3808 shall you take 3947 their daughters 1323 for your sons 1121.
4 "For they will turn 5493 your sons 1121 away 5493 from following 310 Me to serve 5647 other 312 gods 430; then the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 will be kindled 2734 against you and He will quickly 4118 destroy 8045 you.
5 "But thus 3541 you shall do 6213 to them: you shall tear 5422 down 5422 their altars 4196, and smash 7665 their {sacred} pillars 4676, and hew 1438 down 1438 their Asherim 842, and burn 8313 their graven 6456 images 6456 with fire 784.
6 "For you are a holy 6918 people 5971 to the LORD 3068 your God 430; the LORD 3068 your God 430 has chosen 977 you to be a people 5971 for His own possession 5459 out of all 3605 the peoples 5971 who 834 are on the face 6440 of the earth 127.
7 ¶ "The LORD 3068 did not set 2836 His love 2836 on you nor 3808 choose 977 you because 3588 you were more 7231 in number 7231 than 4480 any 3605 of the peoples 5971, for you were the fewest 4592 of all 3605 peoples 5971,
8 but because 3588 the LORD 3068 loved 157 you and kept 8104 the oath 7621 which 834 He swore 7650 to your forefathers 1, the LORD 3068 brought 3318 you out by a mighty 2389 hand 3027 and redeemed 6299 you from the house 1004 of slavery 5650, from the hand 3027 of Pharaoh 6547 king 4428 of Egypt 4714.
9 "Know 3045 therefore that the LORD 3068 your God 430, He is God 430, the faithful 539 God 410, who keeps 8104 His covenant 1285 and His lovingkindness 2617 to a thousandth 505 generation 1755 with those who love 157 Him and keep 8104 His commandments 4687;
10 but repays 7999 those who hate 8130 Him to their faces 6440, to destroy 6 them; He will not delay 309 with him who hates 8130 Him, He will repay 7999 him to his face 6440.
11 "Therefore, you shall keep 8104 the commandment 4687 and the statutes 2706 and the judgments 4941 which 834 I am commanding 6680 you today 3117, to do 6213 them.

Promises of God

¶ "Then it shall come 1961 about, because 6118 you listen 8085 to these 428 judgments 4941 and keep 8104 and do 6213 them, that the LORD 3068 your God 430 will keep 8104 with you His covenant 1285 and His lovingkindness 2617 which 834 He swore 7650 to your forefathers 1.
13 "He will love 157 you and bless 1288 you and multiply 7235 you; He will also bless 1288 the fruit 6529 of your womb 990 and the fruit 6529 of your ground 127, your grain 1715 and your new 8492 wine 8492 and your oil 3323, the increase 7698 of your herd 504 and the young 6251 of your flock 6629, in the land 127 which 834 He swore 7650 to your forefathers 1 to give 5414 you.
14 "You shall be blessed 1288 above 4480 all 3605 peoples 5971; there will be no 3808 male or female barren 6135 among you or among your cattle 929.
15 "The LORD 3068 will remove 5493 from you all 3605 sickness 2483; and He will not put 7760 on you any 3605 of the harmful 7451 diseases 4064 of Egypt 4714 which 834 you have known 3045, but He will lay 5414 them on all 3605 who hate 8130 you.
16 "You shall consume 398 all 3605 the peoples 5971 whom 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 will deliver 5414 to you; your eye 5869 shall not pity 2347 them, nor 3808 shall you serve 5647 their gods 430, for that {would be} a snare 4170 to you.
17 ¶ "If 3588 you should say 559 in your heart 3824, 'These 428 nations 1471 are greater 7227 than 4480 I; how 351 can 3201 I dispossess 3423 them?'
18 you shall not be afraid 3372 of them; you shall well 2142 remember 2142 what 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 did 6213 to Pharaoh 6547 and to all 3605 Egypt 4714:
19 the great 1419 trials 4531 which 834 your eyes 5869 saw 7200 and the signs 226 and the wonders 4159 and the mighty 2389 hand 3027 and the outstretched 5186 arm 2220 by which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 brought 3318 you out. So 3651 shall the LORD 3068 your God 430 do 6213 to all 3605 the peoples 5971 of whom 834 you are afraid 3372.
20 "Moreover 1571, the LORD 3068 your God 430 will send 7971 the hornet 6880 against them, until 5704 those who are left 7604 and hide 5641 themselves from you perish 6.
21 "You shall not dread 6206 them, for the LORD 3068 your God 430 is in your midst 7130, a great 1419 and awesome 3372 God 410.
22 "The LORD 3068 your God 430 will clear 5394 away 5394 these 411 nations 1471 before you little 4592 by little 4592; you will not be able 3201 to put 3615 an end 3615 to them quickly 4118, for the wild 7704 beasts 2421 would grow 7235 too 5921 numerous 7235 for you.
23 "But the LORD 3068 your God 430 will deliver 5414 them before 6440 you, and will throw 1949 them into great 1419 confusion 4103 until 5704 they are destroyed 8045.
24 "He will deliver 5414 their kings 4428 into your hand 3027 so that you will make their name 8034 perish 6 from under 8478 heaven 8064; no 3808 man 376 will be able to stand 3320 before 6440 you until 5704 you have destroyed 8045 them.
25 "The graven 6456 images 6456 of their gods 430 you are to burn 8313 with fire 784; you shall not covet 2530 the silver 3701 or the gold 2091 that is on them, nor 3808 take 3947 it for yourselves, or 6435 you will be snared 3369 by it, for it is an abomination 8441 to the LORD 3068 your God 430.
26 "You shall not bring 935 an abomination 8441 into your house 1004, and like 3644 it come 1961 under 2764 the ban 2764; you shall utterly 8262 detest 8262 it and you shall utterly 8581 abhor 8581 it, for it is something 2764 banned 2764.

God's Gracious Dealings

"All 3605 the commandments 4687 that I am commanding 6680 you today 3117 you shall be careful 8104 to do 6213, that you may live 2421 and multiply 7235, and go 935 in and possess 3423 the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 swore 7650 {to give} to your forefathers 1.
2 "You shall remember 2142 all 3605 the way 1870 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 has led 1980 you in the wilderness 4057 these 2088 forty 705 years 8141, that He might humble 6031 you, testing 5254 you, to know 3045 what 834 was in your heart 3824, whether you would keep 8104 His commandments 4687 or 518 not.
3 "He humbled 6031 you and let you be hungry 7456, and fed 398 you with manna 4478 which 834 you did not know 3045, nor 3808 did your fathers 1 know 3045, that He might make you understand 3045 that man 120 does not live 2421 by bread 3899 alone 905, but man 120 lives 2421 by everything 3605 that proceeds 4161 out of the mouth 6310 of the LORD 3068.
4 "Your clothing 8071 did not wear 1086 out on you, nor 3808 did your foot 7272 swell 1216 these 2088 forty 705 years 8141.
5 "Thus you are to know 3045 in your heart 3824 that the LORD 3068 your God 430 was disciplining 3256 you just 3512 as a man 376 disciplines 3256 his son 1121.
6 "Therefore, you shall keep 8104 the commandments 4687 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, to walk 1980 in His ways 1870 and to fear 3372 Him.
7 "For the LORD 3068 your God 430 is bringing 935 you into a good 2896 land 776, a land 776 of brooks 5158 of water 4325, of fountains 5871 and springs 8415, flowing 3318 forth 3318 in valleys 1237 and hills 2022;
8 a land 776 of wheat 2406 and barley 8184, of vines 1612 and fig 8384 trees 8384 and pomegranates 7416, a land 776 of olive 2132 oil 8081 and honey 1706;
9 a land 776 where 834 you will eat 398 food 3899 without 3808 scarcity 4544, in which you will not lack 2637 anything 3605; a land 776 whose 834 stones 68 are iron 1270, and out of whose hills 2022 you can dig 2672 copper 5178.
10 "When you have eaten 398 and are satisfied 7646, you shall bless 1288 the LORD 3068 your God 430 for the good 2896 land 776 which 834 He has given 5414 you.
11 ¶ "Beware 8104 that you do not forget 7911 the LORD 3068 your God 430 by not keeping 8104 His commandments 4687 and His ordinances 4941 and His statutes 2708 which 834 I am commanding 6680 you today 3117;
12 otherwise 6435, when you have eaten 398 and are satisfied 7646, and have built 1129 good 2896 houses 1004 and lived 3427 {in them,}
13 and when your herds 1241 and your flocks 6629 multiply 7235, and your silver 3701 and gold 2091 multiply 7235, and all 3605 that you have multiplies 7235,
14 then your heart 3824 will become 7311 proud 7311 and you will forget 7911 the LORD 3068 your God 430 who brought 3318 you out from the land 776 of Egypt 4714, out of the house 1004 of slavery 5650.
15 "He led 1980 you through the great 1419 and terrible 3372 wilderness 4057, {with its} fiery 8314 serpents 8314 and scorpions 6137 and thirsty 6774 ground 6774 where 834 there 369 was no 369 water 4325; He brought 3318 water 4325 for you out of the rock 6697 of flint 2496.
16 "In the wilderness 4057 He fed 398 you manna 4478 which 834 your fathers 1 did not know 3045, that He might humble 6031 you and that He might test 5254 you, to do 3190 good 3190 for you in the end 319.
17 "Otherwise, you may say 559 in your heart 3824, 'My power 3581 and the strength 6108 of my hand 3027 made 6213 me this 2088 wealth 2428.'
18 "But you shall remember 2142 the LORD 3068 your God 430, for it is He who is giving 5414 you power 3581 to make 6213 wealth 2428, that He may confirm 6965 His covenant 1285 which 834 He swore 7650 to your fathers 1, as {it is} this 2088 day 3117.
19 "It shall come 1961 about if 518 you ever 7911 forget 7911 the LORD 3068 your God 430 and go 1980 after 310 other 312 gods 430 and serve 5647 them and worship 7812 them, I testify 5749 against you today 3117 that you will surely 6 perish 6.
20 "Like the nations 1471 that the LORD 3068 makes 6 to perish 6 before you, so 3651 you shall perish 6; because 6118 you would not listen 8085 to the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 your God 430.

Israel Provoked God

"Hear 8085, O Israel 3478! You are crossing 5674 over 5674 the Jordan 3383 today 3117 to go 935 in to dispossess 3423 nations 1471 greater 1419 and mightier 6099 than 4480 you, great 1419 cities 5892 fortified 1219 to heaven 8064,
2 a people 5971 great 1419 and tall 7311, the sons 1121 of the Anakim 6062, whom 834 you know 3045 and of whom 834 you have heard 8085 {it said,} 'Who 4310 can stand 3320 before 6440 the sons 1121 of Anak 6061?'
3 "Know 3045 therefore today 3117 that it is the LORD 3068 your God 430 who is crossing 5674 over 5674 before 6440 you as a consuming 398 fire 784. He will destroy 8045 them and He will subdue 3665 them before 6440 you, so that you may drive 3423 them out and destroy 6 them quickly 4118, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 has spoken 1696 to you.
4 ¶ "Do not say 559 in your heart 3824 when the LORD 3068 your God 430 has driven 1920 them out before you, 'Because of my righteousness 6666 the LORD 3068 has brought 935 me in to possess 3423 this 2088 land 776,' but {it is} because of the wickedness 7564 of these 428 nations 1471 {that} the LORD 3068 is dispossessing 3423 them before you.
5 "It is not for your righteousness 6666 or for the uprightness 3476 of your heart 3824 that you are going 935 to possess 3423 their land 776, but {it is} because 3588 of the wickedness 7564 of these 428 nations 1471 {that} the LORD 3068 your God 430 is driving 3423 them out before you, in order 4616 to confirm 6965 the oath 1697 which 834 the LORD 3068 swore 7650 to your fathers 1, to Abraham 85, Isaac 3327 and Jacob 3290.
6 ¶ "Know 3045, then, {it is} not because of your righteousness 6666 {that} the LORD 3068 your God 430 is giving 5414 you this 2088 good 2896 land 776 to possess 3423, for you are a stubborn people 5971.
7 "Remember 2142, do not forget 7911 how you provoked 7107 the LORD 3068 your God 430 to wrath 7107 in the wilderness 4057; from the day 3117 that you left 3318 the land 776 of Egypt 4714 until 5704 you arrived 935 at this 2088 place 4725, you have been 1961 rebellious 4784 against 5973 the LORD 3068.
8 "Even at Horeb 2722 you provoked 7107 the LORD 3068 to wrath 7107, and the LORD 3068 was so angry 599 with you that He would have destroyed 8045 you.
9 "When I went 5927 up to the mountain 2022 to receive 3947 the tablets 3871 of stone 68, the tablets 3871 of the covenant 1285 which 834 the LORD 3068 had made 3772 with you, then I remained 3427 on the mountain 2022 forty 705 days 3117 and nights 3915; I neither 3808 ate 398 bread 3899 nor 3808 drank 8354 water 4325.
10 "The LORD 3068 gave 5414 me the two 8147 tablets 3871 of stone 68 written 3789 by the finger 676 of God 430; and on them {were} all 3605 the words 1697 which 834 the LORD 3068 had spoken 1696 with you at the mountain 2022 from the midst 8432 of the fire 784 on the day 3117 of the assembly 6951.
11 "It came 1961 about at the end 7093 of forty 705 days 3117 and nights 3915 that the LORD 3068 gave 5414 me the two 8147 tablets 3871 of stone 68, the tablets 3871 of the covenant 1285.
12 "Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to me, 'Arise 6965, go 3381 down 3381 from here 2088 quickly 4118, for your people 5971 whom 834 you brought 3318 out of Egypt 4714 have acted 7843 corruptly 7843. They have quickly 4118 turned 5493 aside 5493 from the way 1870 which 834 I commanded 6680 them; they have made 6213 a molten 4541 image 4541 for themselves.'
13 "The LORD 3068 spoke 559 further to me, saying 559, 'I have seen 7200 this 2088 people 5971, and indeed 2009, it is a stubborn people 5971.
14 'Let 7503 Me alone, that I may destroy 8045 them and blot 4229 out their name 8034 from under 8478 heaven 8064; and I will make 6213 of you a nation 1471 mightier 6099 and greater 7227 than 4480 they.'
15 ¶ "So I turned 6437 and came 3381 down 3381 from the mountain 2022 while the mountain 2022 was burning 1197 with fire 784, and the two 8147 tablets 3871 of the covenant 1285 were in my two 8147 hands 3027.
16 "And I saw 7200 that you had indeed 2009 sinned 2398 against the LORD 3068 your God 430. You had made 6213 for yourselves a molten 4541 calf 5695; you had turned 5493 aside 5493 quickly 4118 from the way 1870 which 834 the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 you.
17 "I took 8610 hold 8610 of the two 8147 tablets 3871 and threw 7993 them from my hands 3027 and smashed 7665 them before your eyes 5869.
18 "I fell 5307 down 5307 before 6440 the LORD 3068, as at the first 7223, forty 705 days 3117 and nights 3915; I neither 3808 ate 398 bread 3899 nor 3808 drank 8354 water 4325, because 5921 of all 3605 your sin 2403 which 834 you had committed 2398 in doing 6213 what 7451 was evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068 to provoke 3707 Him to anger 3707.
19 "For I was afraid 3025 of the anger 639 and hot 2534 displeasure 2534 with which 834 the LORD 3068 was wrathful 7107 against 5921 you in order to destroy 8045 you, but the LORD 3068 listened 8085 to me that time 6471 also 1571.
20 "The LORD 3068 was angry 599 enough 3966 with Aaron 175 to destroy 8045 him; so I also 1571 prayed 6419 for Aaron 175 at the same 1931 time 6256.
21 "I took 3947 your sinful 2403 {thing,} the calf 5695 which 834 you had made 6213, and burned 8313 it with fire 784 and crushed 3807 it, grinding 2912 it very 3190 small 3190 until it was as fine 1854 as dust 6083; and I threw 7993 its dust 6083 into the brook 5158 that came 3381 down 3381 from the mountain 2022.
22 ¶ "Again at Taberah 8404 and at Massah 4532 and at Kibroth-hattaavah 6914 you provoked 7107 the LORD 3068 to wrath 7107.
23 "When the LORD 3068 sent 7971 you from Kadesh-barnea 6947, saying 559, 'Go 5927 up and possess 3423 the land 776 which 834 I have given 5414 you,' then you rebelled 4784 against 854 the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 your God 430; you neither 3808 believed 539 Him nor 3808 listened 8085 to His voice 6963.
24 "You have been 1961 rebellious 4784 against 5973 the LORD 3068 from the day 3117 I knew 3045 you.
25 ¶ "So I fell 5307 down 5307 before 6440 the LORD 3068 the forty 705 days 3117 and nights 3915, which 834 I did 5307 because 3588 the LORD 3068 had said 559 He would destroy 8045 you.
26 "I prayed 6419 to the LORD 3068 and said 559, 'O Lord 136 GOD 3068, do not destroy 7843 Your people 5971, even Your inheritance 5159, whom 834 You have redeemed 6299 through Your greatness 1433, whom 834 You have brought 3318 out of Egypt 4714 with a mighty 2389 hand 3027.
27 'Remember 2142 Your servants 5650, Abraham 85, Isaac 3327, and Jacob 3290; do not look 6437 at the stubbornness 7190 of this 2088 people 5971 or at their wickedness 7562 or their sin 2403.
28 'Otherwise 6435 the land 776 from which 834 You brought 3318 us may say 559, "Because the LORD 3068 was not able 3201 to bring 935 them into the land 776 which 834 He had promised 1696 them and because 4480 He hated 8135 them He has brought 3318 them out to slay 4191 them in the wilderness 4057."
29 'Yet they are Your people 5971, even Your inheritance 5159, whom 834 You have brought 3318 out by Your great 1419 power 3581 and Your outstretched 5186 arm 2220.'

The Tablets Rewritten

"At that time 6256 the LORD 3068 said 559 to me, 'Cut 6458 out for yourself two 8147 tablets 3871 of stone 68 like the former 7223 ones 7223, and come 5927 up to Me on the mountain 2022, and make 6213 an ark 727 of wood 6086 for yourself.
2 'I will write 3789 on the tablets 3871 the words 1697 that were on the former 7223 tablets 3871 which 834 you shattered 7665, and you shall put 7760 them in the ark 727.'
3 "So I made 6213 an ark 727 of acacia 7848 wood 6086 and cut 6458 out two 8147 tablets 3871 of stone 68 like the former 7223 ones 7223, and went 5927 up on the mountain 2022 with the two 8147 tablets 3871 in my hand 3027.
4 "He wrote 3789 on the tablets 3871, like the former 7223 writing 4385, the Ten 6235 Commandments 1697 which 834 the LORD 3068 had spoken 1696 to you on the mountain 2022 from the midst 8432 of the fire 784 on the day 3117 of the assembly 6951; and the LORD 3068 gave 5414 them to me.
5 "Then I turned 6437 and came 3381 down 3381 from the mountain 2022 and put 7760 the tablets 3871 in the ark 727 which 834 I had made 6213; and there 8033 they are, as the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 me."
6 ¶ (Now the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 set 5265 out from Beeroth 885 Bene-jaakan 885 to Moserah 4149. There 8033 Aaron 175 died 4191 and there 8033 he was buried 6912 and Eleazar 499 his son 1121 ministered 3547 as priest 3547 in his place 8478.
7 From there 8033 they set 5265 out to Gudgodah 1412, and from Gudgodah 1412 to Jotbathah 3193, a land 776 of brooks 5158 of water 4325.
8 At that time 6256 the LORD 3068 set 914 apart 914 the tribe 7626 of Levi 3878 to carry 5375 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068, to stand 5975 before 6440 the LORD 3068 to serve 8334 Him and to bless 1288 in His name 8034 until 5704 this 2088 day 3117.
9 Therefore, Levi 3878 does not have 1961 a portion 2506 or inheritance 5159 with his brothers 251; the LORD 3068 is his inheritance 5159, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 your God 430 spoke 1696 to him.)
10 ¶ "I, moreover, stayed 5975 on the mountain 2022 forty 705 days 3117 and forty 705 nights 3915 like the first 7223 time 3117, and the LORD 3068 listened 8085 to me that time 6471 also 1571; the LORD 3068 was not willing 14 to destroy 7843 you.
11 "Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to me, 'Arise 6965, proceed 1980 on your journey 4550 ahead 6440 of the people 5971, that they may go 935 in and possess 3423 the land 776 which 834 I swore 7650 to their fathers 1 to give 5414 them.'
12 ¶ "Now 6258, Israel 3478, what 4100 does the LORD 3068 your God 430 require 7592 from you, but to fear 3372 the LORD 3068 your God 430, to walk 1980 in all 3605 His ways 1870 and love 157 Him, and to serve 5647 the LORD 3068 your God 430 with all 3605 your heart 3824 and with all 3605 your soul 5315,
13 {and} to keep 8104 the LORD'S 3068 commandments 4687 and His statutes 2708 which 834 I am commanding 6680 you today 3117 for your good 2896?
14 "Behold 2005, to the LORD 3068 your God 430 belong heaven 8064 and the highest 8064 heavens 8064, the earth 776 and all 3605 that is in it.
15 "Yet 7534 on your fathers 1 did the LORD 3068 set 2836 His affection 2836 to love 157 them, and He chose 977 their descendants 2233 after 310 them, {even} you above 4480 all 3605 peoples 5971, as {it is} this 2088 day 3117.
16 "So circumcise 4135 your heart 3824, and stiffen 7185 your neck 6203 no 3808 longer 5750.
17 "For the LORD 3068 your God 430 is the God 430 of gods 430 and the Lord 136 of lords 113, the great 1419, the mighty 1368, and the awesome 3372 God 410 who 834 does not show 5375 partiality nor 3808 take 3947 a bribe 7810.
18 "He executes 6213 justice 4941 for the orphan 3490 and the widow 490, and shows 157 His love 157 for the alien 1616 by giving 5414 him food 3899 and clothing 8071.
19 "So show 157 your love 157 for the alien 1616, for you were aliens 1616 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
20 "You shall fear 3372 the LORD 3068 your God 430; you shall serve 5647 Him and cling 1692 to Him, and you shall swear 7650 by His name 8034.
21 "He is your praise 8416 and He is your God 430, who 834 has done 6213 these 428 great 1419 and awesome 3372 things 3372 for you which 834 your eyes 5869 have seen 7200.
22 "Your fathers 1 went 3381 down 3381 to Egypt 4714 seventy 7657 persons 5315 {in all,} and now 6258 the LORD 3068 your God 430 has made 7760 you as numerous 7230 as the stars 3556 of heaven 8064.

Rewards of Obedience

"You shall therefore love 157 the LORD 3068 your God 430, and always keep 8104 His charge 4931, His statutes 2708, His ordinances 4941, and His commandments 4687.
2 "Know 3045 this day 3117 that I {am} not {speaking} with your sons 1121 who 834 have not known 3045 and who 834 have not seen 7200 the discipline 4148 of the LORD 3068 your God 430--His greatness 1433, His mighty 2389 hand 3027 and His outstretched 5186 arm 2220,
3 and His signs 226 and His works 4639 which 834 He did 6213 in the midst 8432 of Egypt 4714 to Pharaoh 6547 the king 4428 of Egypt 4714 and to all 3605 his land 776;
4 and what 834 He did 6213 to Egypt's 4714 army 2428, to its horses 5483 and its chariots 7393, when 834 He made the water 4325 of the Red Sea 3220 to engulf 6687 them while they were pursuing 7291 you, and the LORD 3068 completely destroyed 6 them;
5 and what 834 He did 6213 to you in the wilderness 4057 until 5704 you came 935 to this 2088 place 4725;
6 and what 834 He did 6213 to Dathan 1885 and Abiram 48, the sons 1121 of Eliab 446, the son 1121 of Reuben 7205, when the earth 776 opened 6475 its mouth 6310 and swallowed 1104 them, their households 1004, their tents 168, and every 3605 living 3351 thing 3351 that followed 7272 them, among 7130 all 3605 Israel 3478--
7 but your own eyes 5869 have seen 7200 all 3605 the great 1419 work 4639 of the LORD 3068 which 834 He did 6213.
8 ¶ "You shall therefore keep 8104 every 3605 commandment 4687 which 834 I am commanding 6680 you today 3117, so 4616 that you may be strong 2388 and go 935 in and possess 3423 the land 776 into which 834 you are about to cross 5674 to possess 3423 it;
9 so that you may prolong 748 {your} days 3117 on the land 127 which 834 the LORD 3068 swore 7650 to your fathers 1 to give 5414 to them and to their descendants 2233, a land 776 flowing 2100 with milk 2461 and honey 1706.
10 "For the land 776, into which 834 you are entering 935 to possess 3423 it, is not like the land 776 of Egypt 4714 from which 834 you came 3318, where 834 you used to sow 2232 your seed 2233 and water 8248 it with your foot 7272 like a vegetable 3419 garden 1588.
11 "But the land 776 into which 834 you are about to cross 5674 to possess 3423 it, a land 776 of hills 2022 and valleys 1237, drinks 8354 water 4325 from the rain 4306 of heaven 8064,
12 a land 776 for which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 cares 1875; the eyes 5869 of the LORD 3068 your God 430 are always 8548 on it, from the beginning 7225 even to the end 319 of the year 8141.
13 ¶ "It shall come 1961 about, if 518 you listen 8085 obediently 8085 to my commandments 4687 which 834 I am commanding 6680 you today 3117, to love 157 the LORD 3068 your God 430 and to serve 5647 Him with all 3605 your heart 3824 and all 3605 your soul 5315,
14 that He will give 5414 the rain 4306 for your land 776 in its season 6256, the early 3138 and late 4456 rain, that you may gather 622 in your grain 1715 and your new 8492 wine 8492 and your oil 3323.
15 "He will give 5414 grass 6212 in your fields 7704 for your cattle 929, and you will eat 398 and be satisfied 7646.
16 "Beware 8104 that your hearts 3824 are not deceived 6601, and that you do not turn 5493 away 5493 and serve 5647 other 312 gods 430 and worship 7812 them.
17 "Or the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 will be kindled 2734 against you, and He will shut 6113 up the heavens 8064 so that there will be no 3808 rain 4306 and the ground 127 will not yield 5414 its fruit 2981; and you will perish 6 quickly 4120 from the good 2896 land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 is giving 5414 you.
18 ¶ "You shall therefore impress 7760 these 428 words 1697 of mine on your heart 3824 and on your soul 5315; and you shall bind 7194 them as a sign 226 on your hand 3027, and they shall be as frontals 2903 on your forehead.
19 "You shall teach 3925 them to your sons 1121, talking 1696 of them when you sit 3427 in your house 1004 and when you walk 1980 along the road 1870 and when you lie 7901 down 7901 and when you rise 6965 up.
20 "You shall write 3789 them on the doorposts 4201 of your house 1004 and on your gates 8179,
21 so 4616 that your days 3117 and the days 3117 of your sons 1121 may be multiplied 7235 on the land 127 which 834 the LORD 3068 swore 7650 to your fathers 1 to give 5414 them, as long 3117 as the heavens 8064 {remain} above 5921 the earth 776.
22 "For if 518 you are careful 8104 to keep 8104 all 3605 this 2088 commandment 4687 which 834 I am commanding 6680 you to do 6213, to love 157 the LORD 3068 your God 430, to walk 1980 in all 3605 His ways 1870 and hold 1692 fast 1692 to Him,
23 then the LORD 3068 will drive 3423 out all 3605 these 428 nations 1471 from before you, and you will dispossess 3423 nations 1471 greater 1419 and mightier 6099 than 4480 you.
24 "Every 3605 place 4725 on which 834 the sole 3709 of your foot 7272 treads 1869 shall be yours; your border 1366 will be from the wilderness 4057 to Lebanon 3844, {and} from the river 5104, the river 5104 Euphrates 6578, as far 5704 as the western 314 sea 3220.
25 "No 3808 man 376 will be able to stand 3320 before 6440 you; the LORD 3068 your God 430 will lay 5414 the dread 6343 of you and the fear 4172 of you on all 3605 the land 776 on which 834 you set 1869 foot 1869, as He has spoken 1696 to you.
26 ¶ "See 7200, I am setting 5414 before 6440 you today 3117 a blessing 1293 and a curse 7045:
27 the blessing 1293, if 834 you listen 8085 to the commandments 4687 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, which 834 I am commanding 6680 you today 3117;
28 and the curse 7045, if 518 you do not listen 8085 to the commandments 4687 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, but turn 5493 aside 5493 from the way 1870 which 834 I am commanding 6680 you today 3117, by following other 312 gods 430 which 834 you have not known 3045.
29 ¶ "It shall come 1961 about, when 3588 the LORD 3068 your God 430 brings 935 you into the land 776 where you are entering 935 to possess 3423 it, that you shall place 5414 the blessing 1293 on Mount 2022 Gerizim 1630 and the curse 7045 on Mount 2022 Ebal 5858.
30 "Are they not across 5676 the Jordan 3383, west 310 of the way 1870 toward the sunset, in the land 776 of the Canaanites 3669 who live 3427 in the Arabah 6160, opposite 4136 Gilgal 1537, beside 681 the oaks 436 of Moreh 4176?
31 "For you are about to cross 5674 the Jordan 3383 to go 935 in to possess 3423 the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 is giving 5414 you, and you shall possess 3423 it and live 3427 in it,
32 and you shall be careful 8104 to do 6213 all 3605 the statutes 2706 and the judgments 4941 which 834 I am setting 5414 before 6440 you today 3117.

Laws of the Sanctuary

"These 428 are the statutes 2706 and the judgments 4941 which 834 you shall carefully 6213 observe 8104 in the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of your fathers 1, has given 5414 you to possess 3423 as long as you live 2416 on the earth 127.
2 "You shall utterly 6 destroy 6 all 3605 the places 4725 where the nations 1471 whom 834 you shall dispossess 3423 serve 5647 their gods 430, on the high 7311 mountains 2022 and on the hills 1389 and under 8478 every 3605 green 7488 tree 6086.
3 "You shall tear 5422 down 5422 their altars 4196 and smash 7665 their {sacred} pillars 4676 and burn 8313 their Asherim 842 with fire 784, and you shall cut 1438 down 1438 the engraved 6456 images 6456 of their gods 430 and obliterate 6 their name 8034 from that place 4725.
4 "You shall not act 6213 like 3651 this 3651 toward the LORD 3068 your God 430.
5 "But you shall seek 1875 {the L{ORD}} at the place 4725 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 will choose 977 from all 3605 your tribes 7626, to establish 7760 His name 8034 there 8033 for His dwelling 7931, and there 8033 you shall come 935.
6 "There 8033 you shall bring 935 your burnt 5930 offerings 5930, your sacrifices 2077, your tithes 4643, the contribution 8641 of your hand 3027, your votive 5088 offerings 5088, your freewill 5071 offerings 5071, and the firstborn 1060 of your herd 1241 and of your flock 6629.
7 "There 8033 also you and your households 1004 shall eat 398 before 6440 the LORD 3068 your God 430, and rejoice 8055 in all 3605 your undertakings in which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 has blessed 1288 you.
8 ¶ "You shall not do 6213 at all 3605 what 834 we are doing 6213 here 6311 today 3117, every 376 man 376 {doing} whatever 3605 is right 3477 in his own eyes 5869;
9 for you have not as yet 6258 come 935 to the resting 4496 place 4496 and the inheritance 5159 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 is giving 5414 you.
10 "When you cross 5674 the Jordan 3383 and live 3427 in the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 is giving you to inherit 5157, and He gives 5117 you rest 5117 from all 3605 your enemies 340 around 5439 {you} so that you live 3427 in security 983,
11 then it shall come 1961 about that the place 4725 in which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 will choose 977 for His name 8034 to dwell 7931, there 8033 you shall bring 935 all 3605 that I command 6680 you: your burnt 5930 offerings 5930 and your sacrifices 2077, your tithes 4643 and the contribution 8641 of your hand 3027, and all 3605 your choice 977 votive 5088 offerings 5088 which 834 you will vow 5088 to the LORD 3068.
12 "And you shall rejoice 8055 before 6440 the LORD 3068 your God 430, you and your sons 1121 and daughters 1323, your male 5650 and female 519 servants, and the Levite 3881 who 834 is within your gates 8179, since 3588 he has 369 no 369 portion 2506 or inheritance 5159 with you.
13 ¶ "Be careful 8104 that you do not offer 5927 your burnt 5930 offerings 5930 in every 3605 {cultic} place 4725 you see 7200,
14 but in the place 4725 which 834 the LORD 3068 chooses 977 in one 259 of your tribes 7626, there 8033 you shall offer 5927 your burnt 5930 offerings 5930, and there 8033 you shall do 6213 all 3605 that I command 6680 you.
15 ¶ "However 7534, you may slaughter 2076 and eat 398 meat 1320 within any 3605 of your gates 8179, whatever 3605 you desire 185, according to the blessing 1293 of the LORD 3068 your God 430 which 834 He has given 5414 you; the unclean 2931 and the clean 2889 may eat 398 of it, as of the gazelle 6643 and the deer 354.
16 "Only 7534 you shall not eat 398 the blood 1818; you are to pour 8210 it out on the ground 776 like water 4325.
17 "You are not allowed 3201 to eat 398 within your gates 8179 the tithe 4643 of your grain 1715 or new 8492 wine 8492 or oil 3323, or the firstborn 1060 of your herd 1241 or flock 6629, or any 3605 of your votive 5088 offerings 5088 which 834 you vow 5087, or your freewill 5071 offerings 5071, or the contribution 8641 of your hand 3027.
18 "But you shall eat 398 them before 6440 the LORD 3068 your God 430 in the place 4725 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 will choose 977, you and your son 1121 and daughter 1323, and your male 5650 and female 519 servants, and the Levite 3881 who 834 is within your gates 8179; and you shall rejoice 8055 before 6440 the LORD 3068 your God 430 in all 3605 your undertakings.
19 "Be careful 8104 that you do not forsake 5800 the Levite 3881 as long as you live 3117 in your land 127.
20 ¶ "When 3588 the LORD 3068 your God 430 extends 7337 your border 1366 as He has promised 1696 you, and you say 559, 'I will eat 398 meat 1320,' because 3588 you desire 183 to eat 398 meat 1320, {then} you may eat 398 meat 1320, whatever 3605 you desire 185.
21 "If 3588 the place 4725 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 chooses 977 to put 7760 His name 8034 is too far 7368 from you, then you may slaughter 2076 of your herd 1241 and flock 6629 which 834 the LORD 3068 has given 5414 you, as I have commanded 6680 you; and you may eat 398 within your gates 8179 whatever 3605 you desire 185.
22 "Just as a gazelle 6643 or a deer 354 is eaten 398, so 3651 you will eat 398 it; the unclean 2931 and the clean 2889 alike 3164 may eat 398 of it.
23 "Only 7534 be sure 2388 not to eat 398 the blood 1818, for the blood 1818 is the life 5315, and you shall not eat 398 the life 5315 with the flesh 1320.
24 "You shall not eat 398 it; you shall pour 8210 it out on the ground 776 like water 4325.
25 "You shall not eat 398 it, so 4616 that it may be well 3190 with you and your sons 1121 after 310 you, for you will be doing 6213 what 3477 is right 3477 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068.
26 "Only 7534 your holy 6944 things 6944 which 834 you may have 1961 and your votive 5088 offerings 5088, you shall take 5375 and go 935 to the place 4725 which 834 the LORD 3068 chooses 977.
27 "And you shall offer 6213 your burnt 5930 offerings 5930, the flesh 1320 and the blood 1818, on the altar 4196 of the LORD 3068 your God 430; and the blood 1818 of your sacrifices 2077 shall be poured 8210 out on the altar 4196 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, and you shall eat 398 the flesh 1320.
28 ¶ "Be careful 8104 to listen 8085 to all 3605 these 428 words 1697 which 834 I command 6680 you, so 4616 that it may be well 3190 with you and your sons 1121 after 310 you forever, for you will be doing 6213 what 2896 is good 2896 and right 3477 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068 your God 430.
29 ¶ "When 3588 the LORD 3068 your God 430 cuts 3772 off 3772 before you the nations 1471 which 834 you are going 935 in to dispossess 3423, and you dispossess 3423 them and dwell 3427 in their land 776,
30 beware 8104 that you are not ensnared 5367 to follow 310 them, after 310 they are destroyed 8045 before you, and that you do not inquire 1875 after their gods 430, saying 559, 'How 351 do these 428 nations 1471 serve 5647 their gods 430, that I also 1571 may do 6213 likewise 3651?'
31 "You shall not behave 6213 thus 3651 toward the LORD 3068 your God 430, for every 3605 abominable 8441 act 8441 which 834 the LORD 3068 hates 8130 they have done 6213 for their gods 430; for they even 1571 burn 8313 their sons 1121 and daughters 1323 in the fire 784 to their gods 430.
32 ¶ "Whatever I command 6680 you, you shall be careful 8104 to do 6213; you shall not add 3254 to nor 3808 take 1639 away 1639 from it.

Shun Idolatry

"If 3588 a prophet 5030 or 176 a dreamer 2492 of dreams 2472 arises 6965 among 7130 you and gives 5414 you a sign 226 or 176 a wonder 4159,
2 and the sign 226 or the wonder 4159 comes 935 true, concerning which 834 he spoke 1696 to you, saying 559, 'Let us go 1980 after 310 other 312 gods 430 (whom 834 you have not known 3045) and let us serve 5647 them,'
3 you shall not listen 8085 to the words 1697 of that prophet 5030 or 176 that dreamer 2492 of dreams 2472; for the LORD 3068 your God 430 is testing 5254 you to find 3045 out if you love 157 the LORD 3068 your God 430 with all 3605 your heart 3824 and with all 3605 your soul 5315.
4 "You shall follow the LORD 3068 your God 430 and fear 3372 Him; and you shall keep 8104 His commandments 4687, listen 8085 to His voice 6963, serve 5647 Him, and cling 1692 to Him.
5 "But that prophet 5030 or 176 that dreamer 2492 of dreams 2472 shall be put 4191 to death 4191, because 3588 he has counseled 1696 rebellion 5627 against 5921 the LORD 3068 your God 430 who brought 3318 you from the land 776 of Egypt 4714 and redeemed 6299 you from the house 1004 of slavery 5650, to seduce 5080 you from the way 1870 in which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 commanded 6680 you to walk 1980. So you shall purge 1197 the evil 7451 from among 7130 you.

7 of the gods 430 of the peoples 5971 who 834 are around 5439 you, near 7138 you or 176 far 7350 from you, from one end 7097 of the earth 776 to the other end 7097),
8 you shall not yield 14 to him or listen 8085 to him; and your eye 5869 shall not pity 2347 him, nor 3808 shall you spare 2550 or conceal 3680 him.

10 "So you shall stone 5619 him to death 4191 because 3588 he has sought 1245 to seduce 5080 you from the LORD 3068 your God 430 who brought 3318 you out from the land 776 of Egypt 4714, out of the house 1004 of slavery 5650.
11 "Then all 3605 Israel 3478 will hear 8085 and be afraid 3372, and will never 3808 again 3254 do 6213 such 2088 a wicked 7451 thing 1697 among 7130 you.

16 "Then you shall gather 6908 all 3605 its booty 7998 into the middle 8432 of its open 7339 square 7339 and burn 8313 the city 5892 and all 3605 its booty 7998 with fire 784 as a whole 3632 burnt 3632 offering 3632 to the LORD 3068 your God 430; and it shall be a ruin 8510 forever 5769.

17 "Nothing 3808 from that which 2764 is put under 2764 the ban 2764 shall cling 1692 to your hand 3027, in order 4616 that the LORD 3068 may turn 7725 from His burning 2740 anger 639 and show 5414 mercy 7356 to you, and have 7355 compassion 7355 on you and make you increase 7235, just 3152 as He has sworn 7650 to your fathers 1,
18 if 3588 you will listen 8085 to the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, keeping 8104 all 3605 His commandments 4687 which 834 I am commanding 6680 you today 3117, and doing 6213 what 3477 is right 3477 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068 your God 430.

6 "Any 3605 animal 929 that divides 6536 the hoof 6541 and has 8156 the hoof 8157 split 8156 in two 8147 {and} chews 5927 the cud 1625, among the animals 929, that you may eat 398.
7 "Nevertheless 389, you are not to eat 398 of these 2088 among 4480 those which chew 5927 the cud 1625, or among 4480 those that divide 6536 the hoof 6541 in two 8156: the camel 1581 and the rabbit 768 and the shaphan 8227, for though they chew 5927 the cud 1625, they do not divide 6536 the hoof 6541; they are unclean 2931 for you.
8 "The pig 2386, because 3588 it divides 6536 the hoof 6541 but {does} not {chew} the cud 1625, it is unclean 2931 for you. You shall not eat 398 any 4480 of their flesh 1320 nor 3808 touch 5060 their carcasses 5038.
9 ¶ "These 2088 you may eat 398 of all 3605 that are in water 4325: anything 3605 that has fins 5579 and scales 7193 you may eat 398,
10 but anything 3605 that does not have 369 fins 5579 and scales 7193 you shall not eat 398; it is unclean 2931 for you.
11 ¶ "You may eat 398 any 3605 clean 2889 bird 6833.
12 "But these 2088 are the ones which 834 you shall not eat 398: the eagle 5404 and the vulture 6538 and the buzzard 5822,
13 and the red kite 1676, the falcon 344, and the kite 1676 in their kinds 4327,

19 "And all 3605 the teeming 8318 life 8318 with wings 5775 are unclean 2931 to you; they shall not be eaten 398.
20 "You may eat 398 any 3605 clean 2889 bird 5775.
21 ¶ "You shall not eat 398 anything 3605 which 5038 dies 5038 {of itself.} You may give 5414 it to the alien 1616 who 834 is in your town 8179, so that he may eat 398 it, or 176 you may sell 4376 it to a foreigner 5237, for you are a holy 6918 people 5971 to the LORD 3068 your God 430. You shall not boil 1310 a young 1423 goat 1423 in its mother's 517 milk 2461.
22 ¶ "You shall surely 6237 tithe 6237 all 3605 the produce 8393 from what 2233 you sow 2233, which comes 3318 out of the field 7704 every 8141 year 8141.
23 "You shall eat 398 in the presence 6440 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, at the place 4725 where He chooses 977 to establish 7931 His name 8034, the tithe 4643 of your grain 1715, your new 8492 wine 8492, your oil 3323, and the firstborn 1060 of your herd 1241 and your flock 6629, so 4616 that you may learn 3925 to fear 3372 the LORD 3068 your God 430 always.
24 "If 3588 the distance 1870 is so great 7235 for you that you are not able 3201 to bring 5375 {the tithe,} since 3588 the place 4725 where the LORD 3068 your God 430 chooses 977 to set 7760 His name 8034 is too far 7368 away from you when 3588 the LORD 3068 your God 430 blesses 1288 you,
25 then you shall exchange 5414 {it} for money 3701, and bind 6696 the money 3701 in your hand 3027 and go 1980 to the place 4725 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 chooses 977.
26 "You may spend 5414 the money 3701 for whatever your heart 5315 desires 183: for oxen 1241, or sheep 6629, or wine 3196, or strong 7941 drink 7941, or whatever your heart 5315 desires 7592; and there 8033 you shall eat 398 in the presence 6440 of the LORD 3068 your God 430 and rejoice 8055, you and your household 1004.
27 "Also you shall not neglect 5800 the Levite 3881 who 834 is in your town 8179, for he has 369 no 369 portion 2506 or inheritance 5159 among 5973 you.
28 ¶ "At the end 7097 of every third 7969 year 8141 you shall bring 3318 out all 3605 the tithe 4643 of your produce 8393 in that year 8141, and shall deposit 5117 {it} in your town 8179.
29 "The Levite 3881, because 3588 he has 369 no 369 portion 2506 or inheritance 5159 among 5973 you, and the alien 1616, the orphan 3490 and the widow 490 who 834 are in your town 8179, shall come 935 and eat 398 and be satisfied 7646, in order 4616 that the LORD 3068 your God 430 may bless 1288 you in all 3605 the work 4639 of your hand 3027 which 834 you do 6213.

The Sabbatic Year

"At the end 7093 of {every} seven 7651 years 8141 you shall grant 6213 a remission 8059 {of debts.}
2 "This 2088 is the manner 1697 of remission 8059: every 3605 creditor shall release 8058 what 834 he has loaned 5383 to his neighbor 7453; he shall not exact 5065 it of his neighbor 7453 and his brother 251, because 3588 the LORD'S 3068 remission 8059 has been proclaimed 7121.
3 "From a foreigner 5237 you may exact 5065 {it,} but your hand 3027 shall release 8058 whatever 834 of yours is with your brother 251.
4 "However 657, there will be no 3808 poor 34 among you, since 3588 the LORD 3068 will surely 1288 bless 1288 you in the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 is giving 5414 you as an inheritance 5159 to possess 3423,
5 if 518 only 7534 you listen 8085 obediently 8085 to the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, to observe 6213 carefully 6213 all 3605 this 2088 commandment 4687 which 834 I am commanding 6680 you today 3117.
6 "For the LORD 3068 your God 430 will bless 1288 you as He has promised 1696 you, and you will lend 5670 to many 7227 nations 1471, but you will not borrow 5670; and you will rule 4910 over many 7227 nations 1471, but they will not rule 4910 over you.
7 ¶ "If 3588 there is a poor 34 man 34 with you, one 259 of your brothers 251, in any 259 of your towns 8179 in your land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 is giving 5414 you, you shall not harden 553 your heart 3824, nor 3808 close 7092 your hand 3027 from your poor 34 brother 251;
8 but you shall freely 6605 open 6605 your hand 3027 to him, and shall generously 5670 lend 5670 him sufficient 1767 for his need 4270 {in} whatever 834 he lacks 2637.
9 "Beware 8104 that there is no 6435 base 1100 thought 1697 in your heart 3824, saying 559, 'The seventh 7651 year 8141, the year 8141 of remission 8059, is near 7126,' and your eye 5869 is hostile 7489 toward your poor 34 brother 251, and you give 5414 him nothing 3808; then he may cry 7121 to the LORD 3068 against 5921 you, and it will be a sin 2399 in you.
10 "You shall generously 5414 give 5414 to him, and your heart 3824 shall not be grieved 7489 when you give 5414 to him, because for this 2088 thing 1697 the LORD 3068 your God 430 will bless 1288 you in all 3605 your work 4639 and in all 3605 your undertakings.
11 "For the poor 34 will never 3808 cease 2308 {to be} in the land 776; therefore I command 6680 you, saying 559, 'You shall freely 6605 open 6605 your hand 3027 to your brother 251, to your needy 6041 and poor 6041 in your land 776.'
12 ¶ "If 3588 your kinsman 251, a Hebrew 5680 man 5680 or 176 woman 5680, is sold 4376 to you, then he shall serve 5647 you six 8337 years 8141, but in the seventh 7637 year 8141 you shall set 7971 him free 2670.
13 "When 3588 you set 7971 him free 2670, you shall not send 7971 him away 7971 empty-handed 7387.
14 "You shall furnish 6059 him liberally 6059 from your flock 6629 and from your threshing 1637 floor 1637 and from your wine 3342 vat 3342; you shall give 5414 to him as the LORD 3068 your God 430 has blessed 1288 you.
15 "You shall remember 2142 that you were a slave 5650 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, and the LORD 3068 your God 430 redeemed 6299 you; therefore I command 6680 you this 2088 today 3117.
16 "It shall come 1961 about if 3588 he says 559 to you, 'I will not go 3318 out from you,' because 3588 he loves 157 you and your household 1004, since 3588 he fares well 2895 with you;
17 then you shall take 3947 an awl 4836 and pierce 5414 it through his ear 241 into the door 1817, and he shall be your servant 5650 forever 5769. Also 637 you shall do 6213 likewise 3651 to your maidservant 519.
18 ¶ "It shall not seem 7185 hard 7185 to you when you set 7971 him free 2670, for he has given 5647 you six 8337 years 8141 {with} double 4932 the service 7939 of a hired 7916 man 7916; so the LORD 3068 your God 430 will bless 1288 you in whatever you do 6213.
19 ¶ "You shall consecrate 6942 to the LORD 3068 your God 430 all 3605 the firstborn 1060 males 2145 that are born 3205 of your herd 1241 and of your flock 6629; you shall not work 5647 with the firstborn 1060 of your herd 7794, nor 3808 shear 1494 the firstborn 1060 of your flock 6629.
20 "You and your household 1004 shall eat 398 it every 8141 year 8141 before 6440 the LORD 3068 your God 430 in the place 4725 which 834 the LORD 3068 chooses 977.
21 "But if 3588 it has 1961 any defect 4140, {such as} lameness 6455 or 176 blindness 5787, {or} any 3605 serious 7451 defect 4140, you shall not sacrifice 2076 it to the LORD 3068 your God 430.
22 "You shall eat 398 it within your gates 8179; the unclean 2931 and the clean 2889 alike 3164 {may eat it,} as a gazelle 6643 or a deer 354.
23 "Only 7534 you shall not eat 398 its blood 1818; you are to pour 8210 it out on the ground 776 like water 4325.

The Feasts of Passover, of Weeks, and of Booths

"Observe 8104 the month 2320 of Abib 24 and celebrate 6213 the Passover 6453 to the LORD 3068 your God 430, for in the month 2320 of Abib 24 the LORD 3068 your God 430 brought 3318 you out of Egypt 4714 by night 3915.
2 "You shall sacrifice 2076 the Passover 6453 to the LORD 3068 your God 430 from the flock 6629 and the herd 1241, in the place 4725 where the LORD 3068 chooses 977 to establish 7931 His name 8034.
3 "You shall not eat 398 leavened 2557 bread 2557 with it; seven 7651 days 3117 you shall eat 398 with it unleavened 4682 bread 4682, the bread 3899 of affliction 6040 (for you came 3318 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714 in haste 2649), so 4616 that you may remember 2142 all 3605 the days 3117 of your life 2425 the day 3117 when you came 3318 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
4 "For seven 7651 days 3117 no 3808 leaven 7603 shall be seen 7200 with you in all 3605 your territory 1366, and none 3808 of the flesh 1320 which 834 you sacrifice 2076 on the evening 6153 of the first 7223 day 3117 shall remain 3885 overnight 3885 until morning 1242.
5 "You are not allowed 3201 to sacrifice 2076 the Passover 6453 in any 259 of your towns 8179 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 is giving 5414 you;
6 but at the place 4725 where the LORD 3068 your God 430 chooses 977 to establish 7931 His name 8034, you shall sacrifice 2076 the Passover 6453 in the evening 6153 at sunset, at the time 4150 that you came 3318 out of Egypt 4714.
7 "You shall cook 1310 and eat 398 {it} in the place 4725 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 chooses 977. In the morning 1242 you are to return to your tents 168.
8 "Six 8337 days 3117 you shall eat 398 unleavened 4682 bread 4682, and on the seventh 7637 day 3117 there shall be a solemn 6116 assembly 6116 to the LORD 3068 your God 430; you shall do 6213 no 3808 work 4399 {on it.}
9 ¶ "You shall count 5608 seven 7651 weeks 7620 for yourself; you shall begin 2490 to count 5608 seven 7651 weeks 7620 from the time you begin 2490 to put the sickle 2770 to the standing 7054 grain 7054.
10 "Then you shall celebrate 6213 the Feast 2282 of Weeks 7620 to the LORD 3068 your God 430 with a tribute 4530 of a freewill 5071 offering 5071 of your hand 3027, which 834 you shall give 5414 just 3152 as the LORD 3068 your God 430 blesses 1288 you;
11 and you shall rejoice 8055 before 6440 the LORD 3068 your God 430, you and your son 1121 and your daughter 1323 and your male 5650 and female 519 servants and the Levite 3881 who 834 is in your town 8179, and the stranger 1616 and the orphan 3490 and the widow 490 who 834 are in your midst 7130, in the place 4725 where the LORD 3068 your God 430 chooses 977 to establish 7931 His name 8034.
12 "You shall remember 2142 that you were a slave 5650 in Egypt 4714, and you shall be careful 8104 to observe 6213 these 428 statutes 2706.
13 ¶ "You shall celebrate 6213 the Feast 2282 of Booths 5521 seven 7651 days 3117 after you have gathered 622 in from your threshing 1637 floor 1637 and your wine 3342 vat 3342;

17 "Every 376 man 376 shall give 4979 as he is able 3027, according to the blessing 1293 of the LORD 3068 your God 430 which 834 He has given 5414 you.

19 "You shall not distort 5186 justice 4941; you shall not be partial, and you shall not take 3947 a bribe 7810, for a bribe 7810 blinds 5786 the eyes 5869 of the wise 2450 and perverts 5557 the words 1697 of the righteous 6662.
20 "Justice 6664, {and only} justice 6664, you shall pursue 7291, that you may live 2421 and possess 3423 the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 is giving 5414 you.

Administration of Justice

"You shall not sacrifice 2076 to the LORD 3068 your God 430 an ox 7794 or a sheep 7716 which 834 has 1961 a blemish 4140 {or} any 3605 defect, for that is a detestable 8441 thing 8441 to the LORD 3068 your God 430.
2 ¶ "If 3588 there is found 4672 in your midst 7130, in any 259 of your towns 8179, which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 is giving 5414 you, a man 376 or 176 a woman 802 who 834 does 6213 what 7451 is evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, by transgressing 5674 His covenant 1285,
3 and has gone 1980 and served 5647 other 312 gods 430 and worshiped 7812 them, or the sun 8121 or 176 the moon 3394 or 176 any 3605 of the heavenly 8064 host 6635, which 834 I have not commanded 6680,
4 and if it is told 5046 you and you have heard 8085 of it, then you shall inquire 1875 thoroughly 3190. Behold 2009, if it is true 571 and the thing 1697 certain 3559 that this 2088 detestable 8441 thing 8441 has been done 6213 in Israel 3478,
5 then you shall bring 3318 out that man 376 or 176 that woman 802 who 834 has done 6213 this 2088 evil 7451 deed 1697 to your gates 8179, {that is,} the man 376 or 176 the woman 802, and you shall stone 5619 them to death 4191.
6 "On the evidence 6310 of two 8147 witnesses 5707 or 176 three 7969 witnesses 5707, he who is to die 4191 shall be put 4191 to death 4191; he shall not be put 4191 to death 4191 on the evidence 6310 of one 259 witness 5707.
7 "The hand 3027 of the witnesses 5707 shall be first 7223 against him to put 4191 him to death 4191, and afterward 314 the hand 3027 of all 3605 the people 5971. So you shall purge 1197 the evil 7451 from your midst 7130.
8 ¶ "If 3588 any case 1697 is too 4480 difficult 6381 for you to decide 4941, between 996 one kind of homicide 1818 or another 1818, between 996 one kind of lawsuit 1779 or another 1779, and between 996 one kind of assault 5061 or another 5061, being cases 1697 of dispute 7379 in your courts 8179, then you shall arise 6965 and go 5927 up to the place 4725 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 chooses 977.
9 "So you shall come 935 to the Levitical 3881 priest 3548 or the judge 8199 who 834 is {in office} in those 1992 days 3117, and you shall inquire 1875 {of them} and they will declare 5046 to you the verdict 1697 in the case 4941.
10 "You shall do 6213 according 5921 to the terms 6310 of the verdict 1697 which 834 they declare 5046 to you from that place 4725 which 834 the LORD 3068 chooses 977; and you shall be careful 8104 to observe 6213 according to all 3605 that they teach 3384 you.
11 "According 5921 to the terms 6310 of the law 8451 which 834 they teach 3384 you, and according 5921 to the verdict 4941 which 834 they tell 5046 you, you shall do 6213; you shall not turn 5493 aside 5493 from the word 1697 which 834 they declare 5046 to you, to the right 3225 or the left 8040.
12 "The man 376 who 834 acts 6213 presumptuously 2087 by not listening 8085 to the priest 3548 who stands 5975 there 8033 to serve 8334 the LORD 3068 your God 430, nor 176 to the judge 8199, that man 376 shall die 4191; thus you shall purge 1197 the evil 7451 from Israel 3478.
13 "Then all 3605 the people 5971 will hear 8085 and be afraid 3372, and will not act 2102 presumptuously 2102 again 5750.
14 ¶ "When 3588 you enter 935 the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 gives 5414 you, and you possess 3423 it and live 3427 in it, and you say 559, 'I will set 7760 a king 4428 over 5921 me like all 3605 the nations 1471 who 834 are around 5439 me,'
15 you shall surely 7760 set 7760 a king 4428 over 5921 you whom 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 chooses 977, {one} from among 7130 your countrymen 251 you shall set 7760 as king 4428 over 5921 yourselves; you may 3201 not put 5414 a foreigner 5237 over 5921 yourselves who 834 is not your countryman 251.
16 "Moreover 7534, he shall not multiply 7235 horses 5483 for himself, nor 3808 shall he cause the people 5971 to return 7725 to Egypt 4714 to multiply 7235 horses 5483, since the LORD 3068 has said 559 to you, 'You shall never 3808 again 3254 return 7725 that way 1870.'
17 "He shall not multiply 7235 wives 802 for himself, or 3808 else 3808 his heart 3824 will turn 5493 away 5493; nor 3808 shall he greatly 3966 increase 7235 silver 3701 and gold 2091 for himself.
18 ¶ "Now it shall come 1961 about when he sits 3427 on the throne 3678 of his kingdom 4467, he shall write 3789 for himself a copy 4932 of this 2088 law 8451 on a scroll 5612 in the presence 6440 of the Levitical 3881 priests 3548.
19 "It shall be with him and he shall read 7121 it all 3605 the days 3117 of his life 2425, that he may learn 3925 to fear 3372 the LORD 3068 his God 430, by carefully 6213 observing 6213 all 3605 the words 1697 of this 2088 law 8451 and these 428 statutes 2706,
20 that his heart 3824 may not be lifted 7311 up above 4480 his countrymen 251 and that he may not turn 5493 aside 5493 from the commandment 4687, to the right 3225 or the left 8040, so 4616 that he and his sons 1121 may continue 748 long in his kingdom 4467 in the midst 7130 of Israel 3478.

Portion of the Levites

"The Levitical 3881 priests 3548, the whole 3605 tribe 7626 of Levi 3878, shall have 1961 no 3808 portion 2506 or inheritance 5159 with Israel 3478; they shall eat 398 the LORD'S 3068 offerings 801 by fire 801 and His portion 5159.
2 "They shall have 1961 no 3808 inheritance 5159 among 7130 their countrymen 251; the LORD 3068 is their inheritance 5159, as He promised 1696 them.
3 ¶ "Now this 2088 shall be the priests' 3548 due 4941 from the people 5971, from those who offer 2076 a sacrifice 2076, either 518 an ox 7794 or 518 a sheep 7716, of which they shall give 5414 to the priest 3548 the shoulder 2220 and the two 3895 cheeks 3895 and the stomach 6896.
4 "You shall give 5414 him the first 7225 fruits 7225 of your grain 1715, your new 8492 wine 8492, and your oil 3323, and the first 7225 shearing 1488 of your sheep 6629.
5 "For the LORD 3068 your God 430 has chosen 977 him and his sons 1121 from all 3605 your tribes 7626, to stand 5975 and serve 8334 in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 forever.
6 ¶ "Now if 3588 a Levite 3881 comes 935 from any 259 of your towns 8179 throughout Israel 3478 where he resides 1481, and comes 935 whenever 3605 he desires 185 to the place 4725 which 834 the LORD 3068 chooses 977,
7 then he shall serve 8334 in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 his God 430, like all 3605 his fellow 251 Levites 3881 who stand 5975 there 8033 before 6440 the LORD 3068.
8 "They shall eat 398 equal 2506 portions 2506, except 905 {what they receive} from the sale 4465 of their fathers' 1 {estates.}

Spiritism Forbidden

¶ "When 3588 you enter 935 the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 gives 5414 you, you shall not learn 3925 to imitate 6213 the detestable 8441 things 8441 of those 1992 nations 1471.
10 "There shall not be found 4672 among you anyone who makes his son 1121 or his daughter 1323 pass 5674 through the fire 784, one who uses 7080 divination 7081, one who practices 6049 witchcraft 6049, or one who interprets 5172 omens 5172, or a sorcerer 3784,
11 or one who casts 2266 a spell 2267, or a medium, or a spiritist 3049, or one who calls 1875 up the dead 4191.
12 "For whoever 3605 does 6213 these 428 things 428 is detestable 8441 to the LORD 3068; and because 1558 of these 428 detestable 8441 things 8441 the LORD 3068 your God 430 will drive 3423 them out before you.
13 "You shall be blameless 8549 before 5973 the LORD 3068 your God 430.
14 "For those 428 nations 1471, which 834 you shall dispossess 3423, listen 8085 to those who practice 6049 witchcraft 6049 and to diviners 7080, but as for you, the LORD 3068 your God 430 has not allowed 5414 you {to do} so 3651.
15 ¶ "The LORD 3068 your God 430 will raise 6965 up for you a prophet 5030 like 3644 me from among 7130 you, from your countrymen 251, you shall listen 8085 to him.
16 "This is according to all 3605 that you asked 7592 of the LORD 3068 your God 430 in Horeb 2722 on the day 3117 of the assembly 6951, saying 559, 'Let me not hear 8085 again 3254 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 my God 430, let me not see 7200 this 2088 great 1419 fire 784 anymore 5750, or 3808 I will die 4191.'
17 "The LORD 3068 said 559 to me, 'They have spoken 1696 well 3190.
18 'I will raise 6965 up a prophet 5030 from among 7130 their countrymen 251 like 3644 you, and I will put 5414 My words 1697 in his mouth 6310, and he shall speak 1696 to them all 3605 that I command 6680 him.
19 'It shall come 1961 about that whoever will not listen 8085 to My words 1697 which 834 he shall speak 1696 in My name 8034, I Myself 595 will require 1875 {it} of him.
20 'But the prophet 5030 who 834 speaks 1696 a word 1697 presumptuously 2102 in My name 8034 which 834 I have not commanded 6680 him to speak 1696, or which 834 he speaks 1696 in the name 8034 of other 312 gods 430, that prophet 5030 shall die 4191.'
21 "You may say 559 in your heart 3824, 'How 351 will we know 3045 the word 1697 which 834 the LORD 3068 has not spoken 1696?'
22 "When 834 a prophet 5030 speaks 1696 in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068, if the thing 1697 does not come 1961 about or come 935 true, that is the thing 1697 which 834 the LORD 3068 has not spoken 1696. The prophet 5030 has spoken 1696 it presumptuously 2087; you shall not be afraid 1481 of him.

Cities of Refuge

"When 3588 the LORD 3068 your God 430 cuts 3772 off 3772 the nations 1471, whose 834 land 776 the LORD 3068 your God 430 gives 5414 you, and you dispossess 3423 them and settle 3427 in their cities 5892 and in their houses 1004,
2 you shall set 914 aside 914 three 7969 cities 5892 for yourself in the midst 8432 of your land 776, which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 gives 5414 you to possess 3423.
3 "You shall prepare 3559 the roads 1870 for yourself, and divide 8027 into three 8027 parts 8027 the territory 1366 of your land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 will give 5157 you as a possession 5157, so that any 3605 manslayer 7523 may flee 5127 there 8033.
4 ¶ "Now this 2088 is the case 1697 of the manslayer 7523 who 834 may flee 5127 there 8033 and live 2421: when 834 he kills 5221 his friend 7453 unintentionally, not hating 8130 him previously--
5 as when 834 {a man} goes 935 into the forest 3293 with his friend 7453 to cut 2404 wood 6086, and his hand 3027 swings 5080 the axe 1631 to cut 3772 down 3772 the tree 6086, and the iron 1270 {head} slips 5394 off 5394 the handle 6086 and strikes 4672 his friend 7453 so that he dies 4191--he may flee 5127 to one 259 of these 428 cities 5892 and live 2421;
6 otherwise 6435 the avenger 1350 of blood 1818 might pursue 7291 the manslayer 7523 in the heat 2552 of his anger 3824, and overtake 5381 him, because 3588 the way 1870 is long 7235, and take 5221 his life 5315, though he was not deserving 4941 of death 4194, since 3588 he had not hated 8130 him previously.
7 "Therefore, I command 6680 you, saying 559, 'You shall set 914 aside 914 three 7969 cities 5892 for yourself.'
8 ¶ "If 518 the LORD 3068 your God 430 enlarges 7337 your territory 1366, just 3152 as He has sworn 7650 to your fathers 1, and gives 5414 you all 3605 the land 776 which 834 He promised 1696 to give 5414 your fathers 1--
9 if 3588 you carefully 6213 observe 8104 all 3605 this 2088 commandment 4687 which 834 I command 6680 you today 3117, to love 157 the LORD 3068 your God 430, and to walk 1980 in His ways 1870 always--then you shall add 3254 three 7969 more 5750 cities 5892 for yourself, besides 5921 these 428 three 7969.
10 "So innocent 5355 blood 1818 will not be shed 8210 in the midst 7130 of your land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 gives 5414 you as an inheritance 5159, and bloodguiltiness 1818 be on you.
11 ¶ "But if 3588 there is a man 376 who hates 8130 his neighbor 7453 and lies 693 in wait 693 for him and rises 6965 up against 5921 him and strikes 5221 him so that he dies 4191, and he flees 5127 to one 259 of these 411 cities 5892,
12 then the elders 2205 of his city 5892 shall send 7971 and take 3947 him from there 8033 and deliver 5414 him into the hand 3027 of the avenger 1350 of blood 1818, that he may die 4191.
13 "You shall not pity 2347 him, but you shall purge 1197 the blood 1818 of the innocent 5355 from Israel 3478, that it may go 2895 well 2895 with you.

16 "If 3588 a malicious 2555 witness 5707 rises 6965 up against a man 376 to accuse 6030 him of wrongdoing 5627,

18 "The judges 8199 shall investigate 1875 thoroughly 3190, and if 2009 the witness 5707 is a false 8267 witness 5707 {and} he has accused 6030 his brother 251 falsely 8267,

2 "When you are approaching 7126 the battle 4421, the priest 3548 shall come 5066 near 5066 and speak 1696 to the people 5971.
3 "He shall say 559 to them, 'Hear 8085, O Israel 3478, you are approaching 7126 the battle 4421 against 5921 your enemies 340 today 3117. Do not be fainthearted. Do not be afraid 3372, or panic 2648, or tremble 6206 before them,

Let him depart 1980 and return 7725 to his house 1004, otherwise 6435 he might die 4191 in the battle 4421 and another 312 man 376 would dedicate 2596 it.
6 'Who 4310 is the man 376 that has planted 5193 a vineyard 3754 and has not begun 2490 to use 2490 its fruit 2490? Let him depart 1980 and return 7725 to his house 1004, otherwise 6435 he might die 4191 in the battle 4421 and another 312 man 376 would begin 2490 to use 2490 its fruit 2490.

8 "Then the officers 7860 shall speak 1696 further 3254 to the people 5971 and say 559, 'Who 4310 is the man 376 that is afraid 3372 and fainthearted? Let him depart 1980 and return 7725 to his house 1004, so that he might not make his brothers' 251 hearts 3824 melt 4549 like his heart 3824.'
9 "When the officers 7860 have finished 3615 speaking 1696 to the people 5971, they shall appoint 6485 commanders 8269 of armies 6635 at the head 7218 of the people 5971.
10 ¶ "When 3588 you approach 7126 a city 5892 to fight 3898 against 5921 it, you shall offer 7121 it terms 7121 of peace 7965.
11 "If 518 it agrees 6030 to make 6030 peace 7965 with you and opens 6605 to you, then all 3605 the people 5971 who are found 4672 in it shall become 1961 your forced 4522 labor 4522 and shall serve 5647 you.
12 "However, if 518 it does not make 7999 peace 7999 with you, but makes 6213 war 4421 against 5973 you, then you shall besiege 6696 it.
13 "When the LORD 3068 your God 430 gives 5414 it into your hand 3027, you shall strike 5221 all 3605 the men 2138 in it with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719.
14 "Only 7534 the women 802 and the children 2945 and the animals 929 and all 3605 that is in the city 5892, all 3605 its spoil 7998, you shall take 962 as booty 962 for yourself; and you shall use 398 the spoil 7998 of your enemies 340 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 has given 5414 you.

20 "Only 7534 the trees 6086 which 834 you know 3045 are not fruit 3978 trees 6086 you shall destroy 7843 and cut 3772 down 3772, that you may construct 1129 siegeworks 4692 against 5921 the city 5892 that is making 6213 war 4421 with you until 5704 it falls 3381.

3 "It shall be that the city 5892 which is nearest 7138 to the slain 2491 man 2491, that is, the elders 2205 of that city 5892, shall take 3947 a heifer 5697 of the herd 1241, which 834 has not been worked 5647 and which 834 has not pulled 4900 in a yoke 5923;

6 "All 3605 the elders 2205 of that city 5892 which is nearest 7138 to the slain 2491 man 2491 shall wash 7364 their hands 3027 over 5921 the heifer 5697 whose neck 6202 was broken 6202 in the valley 5158;
7 and they shall answer 6030 and say 559, 'Our hands 3027 did not shed 8210 this 2088 blood 1818, nor 3808 did our eyes 5869 see 7200 {it.}
8 'Forgive 3722 Your people 5971 Israel 3478 whom 834 You have redeemed 6299, O LORD 3068, and do not place 5414 the guilt 1818 of innocent 5355 blood 1818 in the midst 7130 of Your people 5971 Israel 3478.' And the bloodguiltiness 1818 shall be forgiven 3722 them.

¶ "When 3588 you go 3318 out to battle 4421 against 5921 your enemies 340, and the LORD 3068 your God 430 delivers 5414 them into your hands 3027 and you take 7617 them away captive 7628,
11 and see 7200 among the captives 7633 a beautiful 3303 woman 802, and have 2836 a desire 2836 for her and would take 3947 her as a wife 802 for yourself,
12 then you shall bring 935 her home 8432 to your house 1004, and she shall shave 1548 her head 7218 and trim 6213 her nails 6856.
13 "She shall also remove 5493 the clothes 8071 of her captivity 7628 and shall remain 3427 in your house 1004, and mourn 1058 her father 1 and mother 517 a full 3117 month 3391; and after 310 that you may go 935 in to her and be her husband 1166 and she shall be your wife 802.
14 "It shall be, if 518 you are not pleased 2654 with her, then you shall let 7971 her go 7971 wherever she wishes 5315; but you shall certainly 4376 not sell 4376 her for money 3701, you shall not mistreat 6014 her, because you have humbled 6031 her.
15 ¶ "If 3588 a man 376 has 1961 two 8147 wives 802, the one 259 loved 157 and the other 259 unloved 8130, and {both} the loved 157 and the unloved 8130 have borne 3205 him sons 1121, if the firstborn 1060 son 1121 belongs to the unloved 8146,
16 then it shall be in the day 3117 he wills 5157 what 834 he has 1961 to his sons 1121, he cannot make 1069 the son 1121 of the loved 157 the firstborn 1069 before the son 1121 of the unloved 8130, who is the firstborn 1060.
17 "But he shall acknowledge 5234 the firstborn 1060, the son 1121 of the unloved 8130, by giving 5414 him a double 8147 portion 6310 of all 3605 that he has 4672, for he is the beginning 7225 of his strength 202; to him belongs the right 4941 of the firstborn 1060.
18 ¶ "If 3588 any 376 man 376 has 1961 a stubborn 5637 and rebellious 4784 son 1121 who will not obey his father 1 or his mother 517, and when they chastise 3256 him, he will not even listen 8085 to them,
19 then his father 1 and mother 517 shall seize 8610 him, and bring 3318 him out to the elders 2205 of his city 5892 at the gateway 8179 of his hometown 4725.
20 "They shall say 559 to the elders 2205 of his city 5892, 'This 2088 son 1121 of ours is stubborn 5637 and rebellious 4784, he will not obey us, he is a glutton 2151 and a drunkard 5433.'
21 "Then all 3605 the men 376 of his city 5892 shall stone 7275 him to death 4191; so you shall remove 1197 the evil 7451 from your midst 7130, and all 3605 Israel 3478 will hear 8085 {of it} and fear 3372.
22 ¶ "If 3588 a man 376 has committed 1961 a sin 2399 worthy 4941 of death 4194 and he is put 4191 to death 4191, and you hang 8518 him on a tree 6086,
23 his corpse 5038 shall not hang 3885 all night 3885 on the tree 6086, but you shall surely 6912 bury 6912 him on the same 1931 day 3117 (for he who is hanged 8518 is accursed 7045 of God 430), so that you do not defile 2930 your land 127 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 gives 5414 you as an inheritance 5159.

Sundry Laws

"You shall not see 7200 your countryman's 251 ox 7794 or 176 his sheep 7716 straying 5080 away 5080, and pay 5956 no 5956 attention 5956 to them; you shall certainly 7725 bring 7725 them back 7725 to your countryman 251.
2 "If 518 your countryman 251 is not near 7138 you, or if you do not know 3045 him, then you shall bring 622 it home 8432 to your house 1004, and it shall remain 1961 with you until 5704 your countryman 251 looks 1875 for it; then you shall restore 7725 it to him.
3 "Thus 3651 you shall do 6213 with his donkey 2543, and you shall do 6213 the same 3651 with his garment 8071, and you shall do 6213 likewise 3651 with anything 3605 lost 9 by your countryman 251, which 834 he has lost 6 and you have found 4672. You are not allowed 3201 to neglect 5956 {them.}
4 "You shall not see 7200 your countryman's 251 donkey 2543 or 176 his ox 7794 fallen 5307 down 5307 on the way 1870, and pay 5956 no 5956 attention 5956 to them; you shall certainly 6965 help 6965 him to raise 6965 {them} up.
5 ¶ "A woman 802 shall not wear 1961 man's 1397 clothing 3627, nor 3808 shall a man 1397 put 3847 on a woman's 802 clothing 8071; for whoever 3605 does 6213 these 428 things 428 is an abomination 8441 to the LORD 3068 your God 430.
6 ¶ "If 3588 you happen 7122 to come 7122 upon a bird's 6833 nest 7064 along the way 1870, in any 3605 tree 6086 or 176 on the ground 776, with young 667 ones 667 or 176 eggs 1000, and the mother 517 sitting 7257 on the young 667 or 176 on the eggs 1000, you shall not take 3947 the mother 517 with the young 1121;
7 you shall certainly 7971 let 7971 the mother 517 go 7971, but the young 1121 you may take 3947 for yourself, in order 4616 that it may be well 3190 with you and that you may prolong 748 your days 3117.
8 ¶ "When 3588 you build 1129 a new 2319 house 1004, you shall make 6213 a parapet 4624 for your roof 1406, so that you will not bring 7760 bloodguilt 1818 on your house 1004 if 3588 anyone 5307 falls 5307 from it.

Laws on Morality

¶ "If 3588 any 376 man 376 takes 3947 a wife 802 and goes 935 in to her and {then} turns 8130 against 8130 her,
14 and charges 7760 her with shameful 5949 deeds 1697 and publicly 3318 defames her, and says 559, 'I took 3947 this 2088 woman 802, {but} when I came 7126 near 7126 her, I did not find 4672 her a virgin 1331,'
15 then the girl's 5291 father 1 and her mother 517 shall take 3947 and bring 3318 out the {evidence} of the girl's 5291 virginity 1331 to the elders 2205 of the city 5892 at the gate 8179.
16 "The girl's 5291 father 1 shall say 559 to the elders 2205, 'I gave 5414 my daughter 1323 to this 2088 man 376 for a wife 802, but he turned 8130 against 8130 her;
17 and behold 2009, he has charged 7760 her with shameful 5949 deeds 1697, saying 559, "I did not find 4672 your daughter 1323 a virgin 1331." But this 428 is the evidence 1331 of my daughter's 1323 virginity 1331.' And they shall spread 6566 the garment 8071 before 6440 the elders 2205 of the city 5892.
18 "So the elders 2205 of that city 5892 shall take 3947 the man 376 and chastise 3256 him,
19 and they shall fine 6064 him a hundred 3967 {shekels} of silver 3701 and give 5414 it to the girl's 5291 father 1, because 3588 he publicly 3318 defamed a virgin 1330 of Israel 3478. And she shall remain 1961 his wife 802; he cannot divorce 7971 her all 3605 his days 3117.
20 ¶ "But if 518 this 2088 charge 1697 is true 571, that the girl 5291 was not found 4672 a virgin 1331,
21 then they shall bring 3318 out the girl 5291 to the doorway 6607 of her father's 1 house 1004, and the men 376 of her city 5892 shall stone 5619 her to death 4191 because 3588 she has committed 6213 an act 5039 of folly 5039 in Israel 3478 by playing 2181 the harlot 2181 in her father's 1 house 1004; thus you shall purge 1197 the evil 7451 from among 7130 you.
22 ¶ "If 3588 a man 376 is found 4672 lying 7901 with a married woman 802, then both of them shall die 4191, the man 376 who lay 7901 with the woman 802, and the woman 802; thus you shall purge 1197 the evil 7451 from Israel 3478.
23 ¶ "If 3588 there is a girl 5291 who is a virgin 1330 engaged 781 to a man 376, and {another} man 376 finds 4672 her in the city 5892 and lies 7901 with her,
24 then you shall bring 3318 them both 8147 out to the gate 8179 of that city 5892 and you shall stone 5619 them to death 4191; the girl 5291, because she did not cry 6817 out in the city 5892, and the man 376, because he has violated 6031 his neighbor's 7453 wife 802. Thus you shall purge 1197 the evil 7451 from among 7130 you.
25 ¶ "But if 518 in the field 7704 the man 376 finds 4672 the girl 5291 who is engaged 781, and the man 376 forces 2388 her and lies 7901 with her, then only 905 the man 376 who 834 lies 7901 with her shall die 4191.
26 "But you shall do 6213 nothing to the girl 5291; there 369 is no 369 sin 2399 in the girl 5291 worthy of death 4194, for just 3152 as a man 376 rises 6965 against 5921 his neighbor 7453 and murders 7523 him, so 3651 is this 2088 case 1697.
27 "When 3588 he found 4672 her in the field 7704, the engaged 781 girl 5291 cried 6817 out, but there 369 was no 369 one to save 3467 her.
28 ¶ "If 3588 a man 376 finds 4672 a girl 5291 who is a virgin 1330, who 834 is not engaged 781, and seizes 8610 her and lies 7901 with her and they are discovered 4672,
29 then the man 376 who lay 7901 with her shall give 5414 to the girl's 5291 father 1 fifty 2572 {shekels} of silver 3701, and she shall become 1961 his wife 802 because he has violated 6031 her; he cannot divorce 7971 her all 3605 his days 3117.
30 ¶ "A man 376 shall not take 3947 his father's 1 wife 802 so that he will not uncover 1540 his father's 1 skirt 3671.

4 because they did not meet 6923 you with food 3899 and water 4325 on the way 1870 when you came 3318 out of Egypt 4714, and because 834 they hired 7936 against 5921 you Balaam 1109 the son 1121 of Beor 1160 from Pethor 6604 of Mesopotamia 763, to curse 7043 you.
5 "Nevertheless, the LORD 3068 your God 430 was not willing 14 to listen 8085 to Balaam 1109, but the LORD 3068 your God 430 turned 2015 the curse 7045 into a blessing 1293 for you because 3588 the LORD 3068 your God 430 loves 157 you.
6 "You shall never seek 1875 their peace 7965 or their prosperity 2899 all 3605 your days 3117.
7 ¶ "You shall not detest 8581 an Edomite 130, for he is your brother 251; you shall not detest 8581 an Egyptian 4713, because 3588 you were an alien 1616 in his land 776.
8 "The sons 1121 of the third 7992 generation 1755 who 834 are born 3205 to them may enter 935 the assembly 6951 of the LORD 3068.

10 ¶ "If 3588 there is among you any 376 man 376 who 834 is unclean because 4480 of a nocturnal 3915 emission 7137, then he must go 3318 outside the camp 4264; he may not reenter the camp 4264.
11 "But it shall be when evening 6153 approaches 6437, he shall bathe 7364 himself with water 4325, and at sundown he may reenter the camp 4264.
12 ¶ "You shall also have 1961 a place 3027 outside the camp 4264 and go 3318 out there 8033,
13 and you shall have 1961 a spade 3489 among 5921 your tools 240, and it shall be when you sit 3427 down 3427 outside 2351, you shall dig 2658 with it and shall turn 7725 to cover 3680 up your excrement 6627.
14 "Since 3588 the LORD 3068 your God 430 walks 1980 in the midst 7130 of your camp 4264 to deliver 5337 you and to defeat 5414 your enemies 340 before 6440 you, therefore your camp 4264 must be holy 6918; and He must not see 7200 anything 1697 indecent 6172 among you or He will turn 7725 away 7725 from you.
15 ¶ "You shall not hand 5462 over 5462 to his master 113 a slave 5650 who 834 has escaped 5337 from his master 113 to you.

"If 3588 there is a dispute 7379 between 996 men 376 and they go 5066 to court 4941, and the judges 8199 decide 8199 their case, and they justify 6663 the righteous 6662 and condemn 7561 the wicked 7563,
2 then it shall be if 518 the wicked 7563 man 7563 deserves 1121 to be beaten 5221, the judge 8199 shall then make him lie 5307 down 5307 and be beaten 5221 in his presence 6440 with the number 4557 of stripes according 1767 to his guilt 7564.
3 "He may beat 5221 him forty 705 times 705 {but} no 3808 more 3254, so 6435 that he does not beat 5221 him with many 7227 more 3254 stripes 4347 than 5921 these 428 and your brother 251 is not degraded 7034 in your eyes 5869.

Her husband's 2993 brother 2993 shall go 935 in to her and take 3947 her to himself as wife 802 and perform 2992 the duty 2992 of a husband's 2992 brother 2992 to her.
6 "It shall be that the firstborn 1060 whom 834 she bears 3205 shall assume 6965 the name 8034 of his dead 4191 brother 251, so that his name 8034 will not be blotted 4229 out from Israel 3478.
7 "But if 518 the man 376 does not desire 2654 to take 3947 his brother's 2994 wife 2994, then his brother's 2994 wife 2994 shall go 5927 up to the gate 8179 to the elders 2205 and say 559, 'My husband's 2993 brother 2993 refuses 3985 to establish 6965 a name 8034 for his brother 251 in Israel 3478; he is not willing 14 to perform 2992 the duty 2992 of a husband's 2992 brother 2992 to me.'
8 "Then the elders 2205 of his city 5892 shall summon 7121 him and speak 1696 to him. And {if} he persists 5975 and says 559, 'I do not desire 2654 to take 3947 her,'
9 then his brother's 251 wife 2994 shall come 5066 to him in the sight 5869 of the elders 2205, and pull 2502 his sandal 5275 off his foot 7272 and spit 3417 in his face 6440; and she shall declare, 'Thus 3602 it is done 6213 to the man 376 who 834 does not build 1129 up his brother's 251 house 1004.'
10 "In Israel 3478 his name 8034 shall be called 7121, 'The house 1004 of him whose sandal 5275 is removed 2502.'
11 ¶ "If 3588 {two} men 376, a man 376 and his countryman 251, are struggling 5327 together 3164, and the wife 802 of one 259 comes 7126 near 7126 to deliver 5337 her husband 376 from the hand 3027 of the one who is striking 5221 him, and puts 7971 out her hand 3027 and seizes 2388 his genitals 4016,

6 'And the Egyptians 4713 treated 7489 us harshly 7489 and afflicted 6031 us, and imposed 5414 hard 7186 labor 5656 on us.
7 'Then we cried 6817 to the LORD 3068, the God 430 of our fathers 1, and the LORD 3068 heard 8085 our voice 6963 and saw 7200 our affliction 6040 and our toil 5999 and our oppression 3906;

11 and you and the Levite 3881 and the alien 1616 who 834 is among 7130 you shall rejoice 8055 in all 3605 the good 2896 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 has given 5414 you and your household 1004.

2 "So it shall be on the day 3117 when 834 you cross 5674 the Jordan 3383 to the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 gives 5414 you, that you shall set 6965 up for yourself large 1419 stones 68 and coat 7874 them with lime 7875
3 and write 3789 on them all 3605 the words 1697 of this 2088 law 8451, when you cross 5674 over 5674, so 4616 that you may enter 935 the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 gives 5414 you, a land 776 flowing 2100 with milk 2461 and honey 1706, as the LORD 3068, the God 430 of your fathers 1, promised 1696 you.
4 "So it shall be when you cross 5674 the Jordan 3383, you shall set 6965 up on Mount 2022 Ebal 5858, these 428 stones 68, as I am commanding 6680 you today 3117, and you shall coat 7874 them with lime 7875.

6 "You shall build 1129 the altar 4196 of the LORD 3068 your God 430 of uncut 8003 stones 68, and you shall offer 5927 on it burnt 5930 offerings 5930 to the LORD 3068 your God 430;

Consequences of Disobedience

¶ "But it shall come 1961 about, if 518 you do not obey the LORD 3068 your God 430, to observe 6213 to do 6213 all 3605 His commandments 4687 and His statutes 2708 with which 834 I charge 6680 you today 3117, that all 3605 these 428 curses 7045 will come 935 upon you and overtake 5381 you:
16 ¶ "Cursed 779 {shall} you {be} in the city 5892, and cursed 779 {shall} you {be} in the country 7704.
17 ¶ "Cursed 779 {shall be} your basket 2935 and your kneading 4863 bowl 4863.
18 ¶ "Cursed 779 {shall be} the offspring 6529 of your body 990 and the produce 6529 of your ground 127, the increase 7698 of your herd 504 and the young 6251 of your flock 6629.
19 ¶ "Cursed 779 {shall} you {be} when you come 935 in, and cursed 779 {shall} you {be} when you go 3318 out.
20 ¶ "The LORD 3068 will send 7971 upon you curses 3994, confusion 4103, and rebuke 4045, in all 3605 you undertake to do 6213, until 5704 you are destroyed 8045 and until 5704 you perish 6 quickly 4118, on account of the evil 7455 of your deeds 4611, because 834 you have forsaken 5800 Me.
21 "The LORD 3068 will make the pestilence 1698 cling 1692 to you until 5704 He has consumed 3615 you from the land 127 where you are entering 935 to possess 3423 it.
22 "The LORD 3068 will smite 5221 you with consumption 7829 and with fever 6920 and with inflammation 1816 and with fiery 2746 heat 2746 and with the sword 2719 and with blight 7711 and with mildew 3420, and they will pursue 7291 you until 5704 you perish 6.
23 "The heaven 8064 which 834 is over 5921 your head 7218 shall be bronze 5178, and the earth 776 which 834 is under 8478 you, iron 1270.
24 "The LORD 3068 will make 5414 the rain 4306 of your land 776 powder 80 and dust 6083; from heaven 8064 it shall come 3381 down 3381 on you until 5704 you are destroyed 8045.
25 ¶ "The LORD 3068 shall cause 5414 you to be defeated 5062 before 6440 your enemies 340; you will go 3318 out one 259 way 1870 against 413 them, but you will flee 5127 seven 7651 ways 1870 before 6440 them, and you will be {an example of} terror 2113 to all 3605 the kingdoms 4467 of the earth 776.
26 "Your carcasses 5038 will be food 3978 to all 3605 birds 5775 of the sky 8064 and to the beasts 929 of the earth 776, and there 369 will be no 369 one 369 to frighten 2729 {them} away 2729.
27 ¶ "The LORD 3068 will smite 5221 you with the boils 7822 of Egypt 4714 and with tumors 6076 and with the scab 1618 and with the itch 2775, from which 834 you cannot be healed 7495.
28 "The LORD 3068 will smite 5221 you with madness 7697 and with blindness 5788 and with bewilderment 8541 of heart 3824;
29 and you will grope 4959 at noon 6672, as the blind 5787 man 5787 gropes 4959 in darkness 653, and you will not prosper 6743 in your ways 1870; but you shall only 389 be oppressed 6231 and robbed 1497 continually, with none 369 to save 3467 you.
30 "You shall betroth 781 a wife 802, but another 312 man 376 will violate 7693 her; you shall build 1129 a house 1004, but you will not live 3427 in it; you shall plant 5193 a vineyard 3754, but you will not use 2490 its fruit 2490.
31 "Your ox 7794 shall be slaughtered 2873 before your eyes 5869, but you will not eat 398 of it; your donkey 2543 shall be torn 1497 away 1497 from you, and will not be restored 7725 to you; your sheep 6629 shall be given 5414 to your enemies 340, and you will have 369 none 369 to save 3467 you.
32 "Your sons 1121 and your daughters 1323 shall be given 5414 to another 312 people 5971, while your eyes 5869 look 7200 on and yearn 3616 for them continually; but there 369 will be nothing 369 you can do 3027.
33 "A people 5971 whom 834 you do not know 3045 shall eat 398 up the produce 6529 of your ground 127 and all 3605 your labors 3018, and you will never 7534 be anything 7534 but oppressed 6231 and crushed 7533 continually.
34 "You shall be driven 7696 mad 7696 by the sight 4758 of what 834 you see 7200.
35 "The LORD 3068 will strike 5221 you on the knees 1290 and legs 7785 with sore 7451 boils 7822, from which 834 you cannot be healed 7495, from the sole 3709 of your foot 7272 to the crown 6936 of your head 6936.
36 "The LORD 3068 will bring 1980 you and your king 4428, whom 834 you set 6965 over 5921 you, to a nation 1471 which 834 neither 3808 you nor 3808 your fathers 1 have known 3045, and there 8033 you shall serve 5647 other 312 gods 430, wood 6086 and stone 68.
37 "You shall become 1961 a horror 8047, a proverb 4912, and a taunt 8148 among all 3605 the people 5971 where the LORD 3068 drives 5090 you.
38 ¶ "You shall bring 3318 out much 7227 seed 2233 to the field 7704 but you will gather 622 in little 4592, for the locust 697 will consume 2628 it.
39 "You shall plant 5193 and cultivate 5647 vineyards 3754, but you will neither 3808 drink 8354 of the wine 3196 nor 3808 gather 103 {the grapes,} for the worm 8439 will devour 398 them.
40 "You shall have 1961 olive 2132 trees 2132 throughout 3605 your territory 1366 but you will not anoint 5480 yourself with the oil 8081, for your olives 2132 will drop 5394 off 5394.
41 "You shall have 3205 sons 1121 and daughters 1323 but they will not be yours, for they will go 1980 into captivity 7628.
42 "The cricket 6767 shall possess 3423 all 3605 your trees 6086 and the produce 6529 of your ground 127.
43 "The alien 1616 who 834 is among 7130 you shall rise 5927 above 5921 you higher 4605 and higher 4605, but you will go 3381 down 3381 lower 4295 and lower 4295.
44 "He shall lend 3867 to you, but you will not lend 3867 to him; he shall be the head 7218, and you will be the tail 2180.
45 ¶ "So all 3605 these 428 curses 7045 shall come 935 on you and pursue 7291 you and overtake 5381 you until 5704 you are destroyed 8045, because 3588 you would not obey the LORD 3068 your God 430 by keeping 8104 His commandments 4687 and His statutes 2708 which 834 He commanded 6680 you.
46 "They shall become 1961 a sign 226 and a wonder 4159 on you and your descendants 2233 forever.
47 ¶ "Because you did not serve 5647 the LORD 3068 your God 430 with joy 8057 and a glad 2898 heart 3824, for the abundance 7230 of all 3605 things 3605;
48 therefore you shall serve 5647 your enemies 340 whom 834 the LORD 3068 will send 7971 against you, in hunger 7458, in thirst 6772, in nakedness 5903, and in the lack 2640 of all 3605 things 3605; and He will put 5414 an iron 1270 yoke 5923 on your neck 6677 until 5704 He has destroyed 8045 you.
49 ¶ "The LORD 3068 will bring 5375 a nation 1471 against 5921 you from afar 7350, from the end 7097 of the earth 776, as the eagle 5404 swoops 1675 down 1675, a nation 1471 whose 834 language 3956 you shall not understand 8085,
50 a nation 1471 of fierce 5794 countenance 6440 who 834 will have 5375 no 3808 respect 6440 for the old 2205, nor 3808 show 2603 favor 2603 to the young 5288.
51 "Moreover, it shall eat 398 the offspring 6529 of your herd 929 and the produce 6529 of your ground 127 until 5704 you are destroyed 8045, who 834 also leaves 7604 you no 3808 grain 1715, new 8492 wine 8492, or oil 3323, nor 3808 the increase 7698 of your herd 504 or the young 6251 of your flock 6629 until 5704 they have caused you to perish 6.
52 "It shall besiege 6887 you in all 3605 your towns 8179 until 5704 your high 1364 and fortified 1219 walls 2346 in which 834 you trusted 982 come 3381 down 3381 throughout 3605 your land 776, and it shall besiege 6887 you in all 3605 your towns 8179 throughout 3605 your land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 has given 5414 you.
53 "Then you shall eat 398 the offspring 6529 of your own body 990, the flesh 1320 of your sons 1121 and of your daughters 1323 whom 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 has given 5414 you, during the siege 4692 and the distress 4689 by which 834 your enemy 340 will oppress 6693 you.
54 "The man 376 who is refined 7390 and very 3966 delicate 6028 among you shall be hostile 7489 toward his brother 251 and toward the wife 802 he cherishes 2436 and toward the rest 3499 of his children 1121 who 834 remain 3498,
55 so 4480 that he will not give 5414 {even} one 259 of them any 4480 of the flesh 1320 of his children 1121 which 834 he will eat 398, since 4480 he has nothing {else} left 7604, during the siege 4692 and the distress 4689 by which 834 your enemy 340 will oppress 6693 you in all 3605 your towns 8179.
56 "The refined 7390 and delicate 6028 woman 6028 among you, who 834 would not venture 5254 to set 3322 the sole 3709 of her foot 7272 on the ground 776 for delicateness 6026 and refinement 7391, shall be hostile 7489 toward the husband 376 she cherishes 2436 and toward her son 1121 and daughter 1323,
57 and toward her afterbirth 7988 which issues 3318 from between 996 her legs 7272 and toward her children 1121 whom 834 she bears 3205; for she will eat 398 them secretly 5643 for lack 2640 of anything 3605 {else,} during the siege 4692 and the distress 4689 by which 834 your enemy 340 will oppress 6693 you in your towns 8179.
58 ¶ "If 518 you are not careful 8104 to observe 6213 all 3605 the words 1697 of this 2088 law 8451 which are written 3789 in this 2088 book 5612, to fear 3372 this 2088 honored 3513 and awesome 3372 name 8034, the LORD 3068 your God 430,
59 then the LORD 3068 will bring 6381 extraordinary 6381 plagues 4347 on you and your descendants 2233, even severe 1419 and lasting 539 plagues 4347, and miserable 7451 and chronic 539 sicknesses 2483.
60 "He will bring 7725 back 7725 on you all 3605 the diseases 4064 of Egypt 4714 of which 834 you were afraid 3025, and they will cling 1692 to you.
61 "Also 1571 every 3605 sickness 2483 and every 3605 plague 4347 which 834, not written 3789 in the book 5612 of this 2088 law 8451, the LORD 3068 will bring 5927 on you until 5704 you are destroyed 8045.
62 "Then you shall be left 7604 few 4592 in number 4962, whereas you were as numerous 7230 as the stars 3556 of heaven 8064, because 3588 you did not obey the LORD 3068 your God 430.
63 "It shall come 1961 about that as the LORD 3068 delighted 7797 over 5921 you to prosper 3190 you, and multiply 7235 you, so 3651 the LORD 3068 will delight 7797 over 5921 you to make you perish 6 and destroy 8045 you; and you will be torn 5255 from the land 127 where you are entering 935 to possess 3423 it.
64 "Moreover, the LORD 3068 will scatter 6327 you among all 3605 peoples 5971, from one end 7097 of the earth 776 to the other end 7097 of the earth 776; and there 8033 you shall serve 5647 other 312 gods 430, wood 6086 and stone 68, which 834 you or your fathers 1 have not known 3045.
65 "Among those 1992 nations 1471 you shall find 7280 no 3808 rest 7280, and there will be no 3808 resting 4496 place 4494 for the sole 3709 of your foot 7272; but there 8033 the LORD 3068 will give 5414 you a trembling 7268 heart 3820, failing 3631 of eyes 5869, and despair 1671 of soul 5315.
66 "So your life 2425 shall hang 8511 in doubt before you; and you will be in dread 6342 night 3915 and day 3119, and shall have 539 no 3808 assurance 539 of your life 2425.
67 "In the morning 1242 you shall say 559, 'Would that it were evening 6153!' And at evening 6153 you shall say 559, 'Would that it were morning 1242!' because 4480 of the dread 6343 of your heart 3824 which 834 you dread 6342, and for the sight 4758 of your eyes 5869 which 834 you will see 7200.
68 "The LORD 3068 will bring 7725 you back 7725 to Egypt 4714 in ships 591, by the way 1870 about which 834 I spoke 559 to you, 'You will never 3808 see 7200 it again 3254!' And there 8033 you will offer 4376 yourselves for sale 4376 to your enemies 340 as male 5650 and female 8198 slaves, but there 369 will be no 369 buyer 7069."

The Covenant in Moab

These 428 are the words 1697 of the covenant 1285 which 834 the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 Moses 4872 to make 3772 with the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 in the land 776 of Moab 4124, besides the covenant 1285 which 834 He had made 3772 with them at Horeb 2722.
2 ¶ And Moses 4872 summoned 7121 all 3605 Israel 3478 and said 559 to them, "You have seen 7200 all 3605 that the LORD 3068 did 6213 before your eyes 5869 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714 to Pharaoh 6547 and all 3605 his servants 5650 and all 3605 his land 776;
3 the great 1419 trials 4531 which 834 your eyes 5869 have seen 7200, those 1992 great 1419 signs 226 and wonders 4159.
4 "Yet to this 2088 day 3117 the LORD 3068 has not given 5414 you a heart 3820 to know 3045, nor 3808 eyes 5869 to see 7200, nor 3808 ears 241 to hear 8085.
5 "I have led 1980 you forty 705 years 8141 in the wilderness 4057; your clothes 8008 have not worn 1086 out on you, and your sandal 5275 has not worn 1086 out on your foot 7272.
6 "You have not eaten 398 bread 3899, nor 3808 have you drunk 8354 wine 3196 or strong 7941 drink 7941, in order 4616 that you might know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068 your God 430.
7 "When you reached 935 this 2088 place 4725, Sihon 5511 the king 4428 of Heshbon 2809 and Og 5747 the king 4428 of Bashan 1316 came 3318 out to meet 7122 us for battle 4421, but we defeated 5221 them;
8 and we took 3947 their land 776 and gave 5414 it as an inheritance 5159 to the Reubenites 7206, the Gadites 1425, and the half-tribe of the Manassites 4520.
9 "So keep 8104 the words 1697 of this 2088 covenant 1285 to do 6213 them, that you may prosper 7919 in all 3605 that you do 6213.
10 ¶ "You stand 5324 today 3117, all 3605 of you, before 6440 the LORD 3068 your God 430: your chiefs 7218, your tribes 7626, your elders 2205 and your officers 7860, {even} all 3605 the men 376 of Israel 3478,
11 your little 2945 ones 2945, your wives 802, and the alien 1616 who 834 is within 7130 your camps 4264, from the one who chops 2404 your wood 2404 to the one who draws 7579 your water 4325,
12 that you may enter 5674 into the covenant 1285 with the LORD 3068 your God 430, and into His oath 423 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 is making 3772 with you today 3117,
13 in order 4616 that He may establish 6965 you today 3117 as His people 5971 and that He may be your God 430, just 3512 as He spoke 1696 to you and as He swore 7650 to your fathers 1, to Abraham 85, Isaac 3327, and Jacob 3290.
14 ¶ "Now not with you alone 905 am I making 3772 this 2088 covenant 1285 and this 2088 oath 423,
15 but both with those who 834 stand 5975 here 6311 with us today 3117 in the presence 6440 of the LORD 3068 our God 430 and with those who 834 are not with us here 6311 today 3117
16 (for you know 3045 how 834 we lived 3427 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, and how 834 we came 5674 through the midst 7130 of the nations 1471 through 5674 which 834 you passed 5674;
17 moreover, you have seen 7200 their abominations 8251 and their idols 1544 {of} wood 6086, stone 68, silver 3701, and gold 2091, which 834 {they had} with them);
18 so 6435 that there 3426 will not be among you a man 376 or 176 woman 802, or 176 family 4940 or 176 tribe 7626, whose 834 heart 3824 turns 6437 away 6437 today 3117 from the LORD 3068 our God 430, to go 1980 and serve 5647 the gods 430 of those 1992 nations 1471; that there 3426 will not be among you a root 8328 bearing 6509 poisonous 7219 fruit 6509 and wormwood 3939.
19 "It shall be when he hears 8085 the words 1697 of this 2088 curse 423, that he will boast 1288, saying 559, 'I have 1961 peace 7965 though 3588 I walk 1980 in the stubbornness 8307 of my heart 3820 in order 4616 to destroy 5595 the watered 7302 {land} with the dry 6771.'
20 "The LORD 3068 shall never 3808 be willing 14 to forgive 5545 him, but rather the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 and His jealousy 7068 will burn 6225 against that man 376, and every 3605 curse 423 which is written 3789 in this 2088 book 5612 will rest 7257 on him, and the LORD 3068 will blot 4229 out his name 8034 from under 8478 heaven 8064.
21 "Then the LORD 3068 will single 914 him out for adversity 7463 from all 3605 the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478, according to all 3605 the curses 423 of the covenant 1285 which are written 3789 in this 2088 book 5612 of the law 8451.
22 ¶ "Now the generation 1755 to come 314, your sons 1121 who 834 rise 6965 up after you and the foreigner 5237 who 834 comes 935 from a distant 7350 land 776, when they see 7200 the plagues 4347 of the land 776 and the diseases 8463 with which 834 the LORD 3068 has afflicted 2470 it, will say 559,
23 'All 3605 its land 776 is brimstone 1614 and salt 4417, a burning 8316 waste, unsown and unproductive, and no grass 6212 grows 5927 in it, like the overthrow 4114 of Sodom 5467 and Gomorrah 6017, Admah 126 and Zeboiim 6636, which 834 the LORD 3068 overthrew 2015 in His anger 639 and in His wrath 2534.'
24 "All 3605 the nations 1471 will say 559, 'Why has the LORD 3068 done 6213 thus 3662 to this 2088 land 776? Why 4100 this 2088 great 1419 outburst 2750 of anger 639?'
25 "Then {men} will say 559, 'Because they forsook 5800 the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068, the God 430 of their fathers 1, which 834 He made 3772 with them when He brought 3318 them out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
26 'They went 1980 and served 5647 other 312 gods 430 and worshiped 7812 them, gods 430 whom 834 they have not known 3045 and whom He had not allotted 2505 to them.
27 'Therefore, the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 burned 2734 against that land 776, to bring 935 upon it every 3605 curse 7045 which is written 3789 in this 2088 book 5612;
28 and the LORD 3068 uprooted 5428 them from their land 127 in anger 639 and in fury 2534 and in great 1419 wrath 7110, and cast 7993 them into another 312 land 776, as {it is} this 2088 day 3117.'
29 ¶ "The secret 5641 things 5641 belong to the LORD 3068 our God 430, but the things 1540 revealed 1540 belong to us and to our sons 1121 forever, that we may observe 6213 all 3605 the words 1697 of this 2088 law 8451.

Restoration Promised

"So it shall be when 3588 all 3605 of these 428 things 1697 have come 935 upon you, the blessing 1293 and the curse 7045 which 834 I have set 5414 before 6440 you, and you call 7725 {them} to mind 3824 in all 3605 nations 1471 where the LORD 3068 your God 430 has banished 5080 you,
2 and you return 7725 to the LORD 3068 your God 430 and obey Him with all 3605 your heart 3824 and soul 5315 according to all 3605 that I command 6680 you today 3117, you and your sons 1121,
3 then the LORD 3068 your God 430 will restore 7725 you from captivity 7622, and have 7355 compassion 7355 on you, and will gather 6908 you again 7725 from all 3605 the peoples 5971 where the LORD 3068 your God 430 has scattered 6327 you.
4 "If 518 your outcasts 5080 are at the ends 7097 of the earth 8064, from there 8033 the LORD 3068 your God 430 will gather 6908 you, and from there 8033 He will bring 3947 you back.
5 "The LORD 3068 your God 430 will bring 935 you into the land 776 which 834 your fathers 1 possessed 3423, and you shall possess 3423 it; and He will prosper 3190 you and multiply 7235 you more 4480 than 4480 your fathers 1.
6 ¶ "Moreover the LORD 3068 your God 430 will circumcise 4135 your heart 3824 and the heart 3824 of your descendants 2233, to love 157 the LORD 3068 your God 430 with all 3605 your heart 3824 and with all 3605 your soul 5315, so 4616 that you may live 2425.
7 "The LORD 3068 your God 430 will inflict 5414 all 3605 these 428 curses 423 on your enemies 340 and on those who hate 8130 you, who 834 persecuted 7291 you.
8 "And you shall again 7725 obey the LORD 3068, and observe 6213 all 3605 His commandments 4687 which 834 I command 6680 you today 3117.
9 "Then the LORD 3068 your God 430 will prosper 3498 you abundantly 3498 in all 3605 the work 4639 of your hand 3027, in the offspring 6529 of your body 990 and in the offspring 6529 of your cattle 929 and in the produce 6529 of your ground 127, for the LORD 3068 will again 7725 rejoice 7797 over 5921 you for good 2896, just 3512 as He rejoiced 7797 over 5921 your fathers 1;
10 if 3588 you obey the LORD 3068 your God 430 to keep 8104 His commandments 4687 and His statutes 2708 which are written 3789 in this 2088 book 5612 of the law 8451, if 3588 you turn 7725 to the LORD 3068 your God 430 with all 3605 your heart 3824 and soul 5315.
11 ¶ "For this 2088 commandment 4687 which 834 I command 6680 you today 3117 is not too 4480 difficult 6381 for you, nor 3808 is it out of reach 7350.
12 "It is not in heaven 8064, that you should say 559, 'Who 4310 will go 5927 up to heaven 8064 for us to get 3947 it for us and make us hear 8085 it, that we may observe 6213 it?'
13 "Nor 3808 is it beyond the sea 3220, that you should say 559, 'Who 4310 will cross 5674 the sea 3220 for us to get 3947 it for us and make us hear 8085 it, that we may observe 6213 it?'
14 "But the word 1697 is very 3966 near 7138 you, in your mouth 6310 and in your heart 3824, that you may observe 6213 it.
15

Choose Life

¶ "See 7200, I have set 5414 before 6440 you today 3117 life 2425 and prosperity 2896, and death 4194 and adversity 7451;
16 in that I command 6680 you today 3117 to love 157 the LORD 3068 your God 430, to walk 1980 in His ways 1870 and to keep 8104 His commandments 4687 and His statutes 2708 and His judgments 4941, that you may live 2421 and multiply 7235, and that the LORD 3068 your God 430 may bless 1288 you in the land 776 where you are entering 935 to possess 3423 it.
17 "But if 518 your heart 3824 turns 6437 away 6437 and you will not obey 8085, but are drawn 5080 away 5080 and worship 7812 other 312 gods 430 and serve 5647 them,
18 I declare 5046 to you today 3117 that you shall surely 6 perish 6. You will not prolong 748 {your} days 3117 in the land 127 where you are crossing 5674 the Jordan 3383 to enter 935 and possess 3423 it.
19 "I call 5749 heaven 8064 and earth 776 to witness 5749 against you today 3117, that I have set 5414 before 6440 you life 2425 and death 4194, the blessing 1293 and the curse 7045. So choose 977 life 2425 in order 4616 that you may live 2421, you and your descendants 2233,
20 by loving 157 the LORD 3068 your God 430, by obeying 8085 His voice 6963, and by holding 1692 fast 1692 to Him; for this 1931 is your life 2425 and the length 753 of your days 3117, that you may live 3427 in the land 127 which 834 the LORD 3068 swore 7650 to your fathers 1, to Abraham 85, Isaac 3327, and Jacob 3290, to give 5414 them."

Moses' Last Counsel

So Moses 4872 went 1980 and spoke 1696 these 428 words 1697 to all 3605 Israel 3478.
2 And he said 559 to them, "I am a hundred 3967 and twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 today 3117; I am no 3808 longer 5750 able 3201 to come 3318 and go 935, and the LORD 3068 has said 559 to me, 'You shall not cross 5674 this 2088 Jordan 3383.'
3 "It is the LORD 3068 your God 430 who will cross 5674 ahead 6440 of you; He will destroy 8045 these 428 nations 1471 before 6440 you, and you shall dispossess 3423 them. Joshua 3091 is the one who will cross 5674 ahead 6440 of you, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 has spoken 1696.
4 "The LORD 3068 will do 6213 to them just 3512 as He did 6213 to Sihon 5511 and Og 5747, the kings 4428 of the Amorites 567, and to their land 776, when 834 He destroyed 8045 them.
5 "The LORD 3068 will deliver 5414 them up before 6440 you, and you shall do 6213 to them according to all 3605 the commandments 4687 which 834 I have commanded 6680 you.
6 "Be strong 2388 and courageous 553, do not be afraid 3372 or tremble 6206 at them, for the LORD 3068 your God 430 is the one who goes 1980 with you. He will not fail 7503 you or forsake 5800 you."
7 ¶ Then Moses 4872 called 7121 to Joshua 3091 and said 559 to him in the sight 5869 of all 3605 Israel 3478, "Be strong 2388 and courageous 553, for you shall go 935 with this 2088 people 5971 into the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 has sworn 7650 to their fathers 1 to give 5414 them, and you shall give 5157 it to them as an inheritance 5157.
8 "The LORD 3068 is the one who goes 1980 ahead 6440 of you; He will be with you. He will not fail 7503 you or forsake 5800 you. Do not fear 3372 or be dismayed 2865."
9 ¶ So Moses 4872 wrote 3789 this 2088 law 8451 and gave 5414 it to the priests 3548, the sons 1121 of Levi 3878 who carried 5375 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068, and to all 3605 the elders 2205 of Israel 3478.
10 Then Moses 4872 commanded 6680 them, saying 559, "At the end 7093 of {every} seven 7651 years 8141, at the time 4150 of the year 8141 of remission 8059 of debts, at the Feast 2282 of Booths 5521,
11 when all 3605 Israel 3478 comes 935 to appear 7200 before 6440 the LORD 3068 your God 430 at the place 4725 which 834 He will choose 977, you shall read 7121 this 2088 law 8451 in front 5048 of all 3605 Israel 3478 in their hearing 241.
12 "Assemble 6950 the people 5971, the men 376 and the women 802 and children 2945 and the alien 1616 who 834 is in your town 8179, so 4616 that they may hear 8085 and learn 3925 and fear 3372 the LORD 3068 your God 430, and be careful 8104 to observe 6213 all 3605 the words 1697 of this 2088 law 8451.
13 "Their children 1121, who 834 have not known 3045, will hear 8085 and learn 3925 to fear 3372 the LORD 3068 your God 430, as long as you live 2416 on the land 127 which 834 you are about to cross 5674 the Jordan 3383 to possess 3423."
14

Israel Will Fall Away

¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Behold 2005, the time 3117 for you to die 4191 is near 7126; call 7121 Joshua 3091, and present 3320 yourselves at the tent 168 of meeting 4150, that I may commission 6680 him." So Moses 4872 and Joshua 3091 went 1980 and presented 3320 themselves at the tent 168 of meeting 4150.
15 The LORD 3068 appeared 7200 in the tent 168 in a pillar 5982 of cloud 6051, and the pillar 5982 of cloud 6051 stood 5975 at the doorway 6607 of the tent 168.
16 The LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Behold 2009, you are about to lie 7901 down 7901 with your fathers 1; and this 2088 people 5971 will arise 6965 and play 2181 the harlot 2181 with the strange 5236 gods 430 of the land 776, into the midst 7130 of which 834 they are going 935, and will forsake 5800 Me and break 6565 My covenant 1285 which 834 I have made 3772 with them.
17 "Then My anger 639 will be kindled 2734 against them in that day 3117, and I will forsake 5800 them and hide 5641 My face 6440 from them, and they will be consumed 398, and many 7227 evils 7463 and troubles 6869 will come 4672 upon them; so that they will say 559 in that day 3117, 'Is it not because our God 430 is not among 7130 us that these 428 evils 7463 have come 4672 upon us?'
18 "But I will surely 5641 hide 5641 My face 6440 in that day 3117 because 5921 of all 3605 the evil 7463 which 834 they will do 6213, for they will turn 6437 to other 312 gods 430.
19 ¶ "Now 6258 therefore, write 3789 this 2088 song 7892 for yourselves, and teach 3925 it to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478; put 7760 it on their lips 6310, so 4616 that this 2088 song 7892 may be a witness 5707 for Me against the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
20 "For when I bring 935 them into the land 127 flowing 2100 with milk 2461 and honey 1706, which 834 I swore 7650 to their fathers 1, and they have eaten 398 and are satisfied 7646 and become 1878 prosperous 1878, then they will turn 6437 to other 312 gods 430 and serve 5647 them, and spurn 5006 Me and break 6565 My covenant 1285.
21 "Then it shall come 1961 about, when 3588 many 7227 evils 7463 and troubles 6869 have come 4672 upon them, that this 2088 song 7892 will testify 6030 before 6440 them as a witness 5707 (for it shall not be forgotten 7911 from the lips 6310 of their descendants 2233); for I know 3045 their intent 3336 which 834 they are developing 6213 today 3117, before 2962 I have brought 935 them into the land 776 which 834 I swore 7650."
22 So Moses 4872 wrote 3789 this 2088 song 7892 the same 1931 day 3117, and taught 3925 it to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
23

Joshua Is Commissioned

¶ Then He commissioned 6680 Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126, and said 559, "Be strong 2388 and courageous 553, for you shall bring 935 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 into the land 776 which 834 I swore 7650 to them, and I will be with you."
24 ¶ It came 1961 about, when Moses 4872 finished 3615 writing 3789 the words 1697 of this 2088 law 8451 in a book 5612 until 5704 they were complete 8552,
25 that Moses 4872 commanded 6680 the Levites 3881 who carried 5375 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068, saying 559,
26 "Take 3947 this 2088 book 5612 of the law 8451 and place 7760 it beside the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, that it may remain 1961 there 8033 as a witness 5707 against you.
27 "For I know 3045 your rebellion 4805 and your stubbornness; behold 2005, while I am still 5750 alive 2416 with you today 3117, you have been 1961 rebellious 4784 against 5973 the LORD 3068; how 637 much more, then, after 310 my death 4194?
28 "Assemble 6950 to me all 3605 the elders 2205 of your tribes 7626 and your officers 7860, that I may speak 1696 these 428 words 1697 in their hearing 241 and call 5749 the heavens 8064 and the earth 776 to witness 5749 against them.
29 "For I know 3045 that after 310 my death 4194 you will act 7843 corruptly 7843 and turn 5493 from the way 1870 which 834 I have commanded 6680 you; and evil 7463 will befall 7122 you in the latter 319 days 3117, for you will do 6213 that which 7451 is evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, provoking 3707 Him to anger 3707 with the work 4639 of your hands 3027."
30 ¶ Then Moses 4872 spoke 1696 in the hearing 241 of all 3605 the assembly 6951 of Israel 3478 the words 1697 of this 2088 song 7892, until 5704 they were complete 8552:

The Song of Moses

"Give 238 ear 238, O heavens 8064, and let me speak 1696; And let the earth 776 hear 8085 the words 561 of my mouth 6310.
2 "Let my teaching 3948 drop 6201 as the rain 4306, My speech 565 distill 5140 as the dew 2919, As the droplets 8164 on the fresh 1877 grass 1877 And as the showers 7241 on the herb 6212.
3 "For I proclaim 7121 the name 8034 of the LORD 3068; Ascribe 3051 greatness 1433 to our God 430!
4 "The Rock 6697! His work 6467 is perfect 8549, For all 3605 His ways 1870 are just 4941; A God 410 of faithfulness 530 and without 369 injustice 5766, Righteous 6662 and upright 3477 is He.
5 "They have acted 7843 corruptly 7843 toward Him, {They are} not His children 1121, because of their defect 4140; {But are} a perverse 6141 and crooked 6618 generation 1755.
6 "Do you thus 2088 repay 1580 the LORD 3068, O foolish 5036 and unwise people 5971? Is not He your Father 1 who has bought 7069 you? He has made 6213 you and established 3559 you.
7 "Remember 2142 the days 3117 of old 5769, Consider 995 the years 8141 of all 1755 generations 1755. Ask 7592 your father 1, and he will inform 5046 you, Your elders 2205, and they will tell 559 you.
8 "When the Most 5945 High 5945 gave 5157 the nations 1471 their inheritance 5157, When He separated 6504 the sons 1121 of man 120, He set 5324 the boundaries 1367 of the peoples 5971 According to the number 4557 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
9 "For the LORD'S 3068 portion 2506 is His people 5971; Jacob 3290 is the allotment 2256 of His inheritance 5159.
10 "He found 4672 him in a desert 4057 land 776, And in the howling 3214 waste 8414 of a wilderness 3452; He encircled 5437 him, He cared 995 for him, He guarded 5431 him as the pupil 380 of His eye 5869.
11 "Like an eagle 5404 that stirs 5782 up its nest 7064, That hovers 7363 over 5921 its young 1469, He spread 6566 His wings 3671 and caught 3947 them, He carried 5375 them on His pinions 84.
12 "The LORD 3068 alone 910 guided 5148 him, And there 369 was no 369 foreign 5236 god 410 with him.
13 "He made him ride 7392 on the high 1116 places 1116 of the earth 776, And he ate 398 the produce 8570 of the field 7706; And He made him suck 3243 honey 1706 from the rock 5553, And oil 8081 from the flinty 2496 rock 6697,
14 Curds 2529 of cows 1241, and milk 2461 of the flock 6629, With fat 2459 of lambs 3733, And rams 352, the breed 1121 of Bashan 1316, and goats 6260, With the finest of the wheat 2406-- And of the blood 1818 of grapes 6025 you drank 8354 wine 2561.
15 ¶ "But Jeshurun 3484 grew 8080 fat 8080 and kicked 1163-- You are grown 8080 fat 8080, thick 5666, and sleek 3780-- Then he forsook 5203 God 433 who made 6213 him, And scorned 5034 the Rock 6697 of his salvation 3444.
16 "They made 7065 Him jealous 7065 with strange 2114 {gods;} With abominations 8441 they provoked 3707 Him to anger 3707.
17 "They sacrificed 2076 to demons 7700 who were not God 433, To gods 430 whom they have not known 3045, New 2319 {gods} who came 935 lately 7138, Whom your fathers 1 did not dread 8175.
18 "You neglected 7876 the Rock 6697 who begot 3205 you, And forgot 7911 the God 410 who gave 2342 you birth 2342.
19 ¶ "The LORD 3068 saw 7200 {this,} and spurned 5006 {them} Because 4480 of the provocation 3708 of His sons 1121 and daughters 1323.
20 "Then He said 559, 'I will hide 5641 My face 6440 from them, I will see 7200 what 4100 their end 319 {shall be;} For they are a perverse 8419 generation 1755, Sons 1121 in whom is no 3808 faithfulness 529.
21 'They have made 7065 Me jealous 7065 with {what} is not God 410; They have provoked 3707 Me to anger 3707 with their idols 1892. So I will make them jealous 7065 with {those who} are not a people 5971; I will provoke 3707 them to anger 3707 with a foolish 5036 nation 1471,
22 For a fire 784 is kindled 6919 in My anger 639, And burns 3344 to the lowest 8482 part 8482 of Sheol 7585, And consumes 398 the earth 776 with its yield 2981, And sets 3857 on fire 3857 the foundations 4144 of the mountains 2022.
23 ¶ 'I will heap 5595 misfortunes 7463 on them; I will use 3615 My arrows 2671 on them.
24 '{They will be} wasted 4198 by famine 7458, and consumed 3898 by plague 7565 And bitter 4815 destruction 6986; And the teeth 8127 of beasts 929 I will send 7971 upon them, With the venom 2534 of crawling 2119 things 2119 of the dust 6083.
25 'Outside the sword 2719 will bereave 7921, And inside terror 367-- Both 1571 young 970 man 970 and virgin 1330, The nursling 3243 with the man 376 of gray 7872 hair 7872.
26 'I would have said 559, "I will cut 6284 them to pieces 6284, I will remove 7673 the memory 2143 of them from men 582,"
27 Had I not feared 1481 the provocation 3708 by the enemy 340, That their adversaries 6862 would misjudge 5235, That they would say 559, "Our hand 3027 is triumphant 7311, And the LORD 3068 has not done 6466 all 3605 this 2088."'
28 ¶ "For they are a nation 1471 lacking 6 in counsel 6098, And there 369 is no 369 understanding 8394 in them.
29 "Would 3863 that they were wise 2449, that they understood 7919 this 2088, That they would discern 995 their future 319!
30 "How 351 could one 259 chase 7291 a thousand 505, And two 8147 put 5127 ten 7233 thousand 7233 to flight 5127, Unless their Rock 6697 had sold 4376 them, And the LORD 3068 had given 5462 them up?
31 "Indeed 3588 their rock 6697 is not like our Rock 6697, Even our enemies 340 themselves judge 6414 this.
32 "For their vine 1612 is from the vine 1612 of Sodom 5467, And from the fields 7709 of Gomorrah 6017; Their grapes 6025 are grapes 6025 of poison 7219, Their clusters 811, bitter 4846.
33 "Their wine 3196 is the venom 2534 of serpents 8577, And the deadly 393 poison 7219 of cobras 6620.
34 ¶ 'Is it not laid 3647 up in store 3647 with Me, Sealed 2856 up in My treasuries 214?
35 'Vengeance 5359 is Mine, and retribution 8005, In due time 6256 their foot 7272 will slip 4131; For the day 3117 of their calamity 343 is near 7138, And the impending 6264 things 6264 are hastening 2363 upon them.'
36 "For the LORD 3068 will vindicate 1777 His people 5971, And will have 5162 compassion 5162 on His servants 5650, When 3588 He sees 7200 that {their} strength 3027 is gone 235, And there 657 is none 657 {remaining,} bond 6113 or free 5800.
37 "And He will say 559, 'Where 335 are their gods 430, The rock 6697 in which they sought 2620 refuge 2620?
38 'Who 834 ate 398 the fat 2459 of their sacrifices 2077, {And} drank 8354 the wine 3196 of their drink 5257 offering 5257? Let them rise 6965 up and help 5826 you, Let them be your hiding 5643 place 5643!
39 'See 7200 now 6258 that I, I am He, And there 369 is no 369 god 430 besides 5973 Me; It is I who put 4191 to death 4191 and give 2421 life 2421. I have wounded 4272 and it is I who heal 7495, And there 369 is no 369 one 369 who can deliver 5337 from My hand 3027.
40 'Indeed 3588, I lift 5375 up My hand 3027 to heaven 8064, And say 559, as I live 2416 forever 5769,
41 If 518 I sharpen 8150 My flashing 1300 sword 2719, And My hand 3027 takes 270 hold 270 on justice 4941, I will render 7725 vengeance 5359 on My adversaries 6862, And I will repay 7999 those who hate 8130 Me.
42 'I will make My arrows 2671 drunk 7937 with blood 1818, And My sword 2719 will devour 398 flesh 1320, With the blood 1818 of the slain 2491 and the captives 7633, From the long-haired 6546 leaders 7218 of the enemy 340.'
43 "Rejoice 7442, O nations 1471, {with} His people 5971; For He will avenge 5358 the blood 1818 of His servants 5650, And will render 7725 vengeance 5359 on His adversaries 6862, And will atone 3722 for His land 127 {and} His people 5971."
44 ¶ Then Moses 4872 came 935 and spoke 1696 all 3605 the words 1697 of this 2088 song 7892 in the hearing 241 of the people 5971, he, with Joshua 1954 the son 1121 of Nun 5126.
45 When Moses 4872 had finished 3615 speaking 1696 all 3605 these 428 words 1697 to all 3605 Israel 3478,
46 he said 559 to them, "Take 7760 to your heart 3824 all 3605 the words 1697 with which 834 I am warning 5749 you today 3117, which 834 you shall command 6680 your sons 1121 to observe 6213 carefully 6213, {even} all 3605 the words 1697 of this 2088 law 8451.
47 "For it is not an idle 7386 word 1697 for you; indeed 3588 it is your life 2425. And by this 2088 word 1697 you will prolong 748 your days 3117 in the land 127, which 834 you are about to cross 5674 the Jordan 3383 to possess 3423."
48 ¶ The LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 that very 6106 same 6106 day 3117, saying 559,
49 "Go 5927 up to this 2088 mountain 2022 of the Abarim 5682, Mount 2022 Nebo 5015, which 834 is in the land 776 of Moab 4124 opposite Jericho 3405, and look 7200 at the land 776 of Canaan 3667, which 834 I am giving 5414 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 for a possession 272.
50 "Then die 4191 on the mountain 2022 where you ascend 5927, and be gathered 622 to your people 5971, as Aaron 175 your brother 251 died 4191 on Mount 2022 Hor 2023 and was gathered 622 to his people 5971,
51 because you broke 4603 faith 4603 with Me in the midst 8432 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 at the waters 4325 of Meribah-kadesh, in the wilderness 4057 of Zin 6790, because you did not treat 6942 Me as holy 6942 in the midst 8432 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
52 "For you shall see 7200 the land 776 at a distance, but you shall not go 935 there 8033, into the land 776 which 834 I am giving 5414 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478."

The Blessing of Moses

Now this 2088 is the blessing 1293 with which 834 Moses 4872 the man 376 of God 430 blessed 1288 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 before 6440 his death 4194.
2 He said 559, "The LORD 3068 came 935 from Sinai 5514, And dawned 2224 on them from Seir 8165; He shone 3313 forth 3313 from Mount 2022 Paran 6290, And He came 857 from the midst of ten 7233 thousand 7233 holy 6944 ones 6944; At His right 3225 hand 3225 there was flashing 799 lightning 799 for them.
3 "Indeed 637, He loves 2245 the people 5971; All 3605 Your holy 6918 ones 6918 are in Your hand 3027, And they followed 8497 in Your steps 7272; {Everyone} receives 5375 of Your words 1703.
4 "Moses 4872 charged 6680 us with a law 8451, A possession 4181 for the assembly 6952 of Jacob 3290.
5 "And He was king 4428 in Jeshurun 3484, When the heads 7218 of the people 5971 were gathered 622, The tribes 7626 of Israel 3478 together 3162.
6 ¶ "May Reuben 7205 live 2421 and not die 4191, Nor 408 his men 4962 be few 4557."
7 ¶ And this 2088 regarding Judah 3063; so he said 559, "Hear 8085, O LORD 3068, the voice 6963 of Judah 3063, And bring 935 him to his people 5971. With his hands 3027 he contended 7378 for them, And may You be a help 5828 against 4480 his adversaries 6862."
8 ¶ Of Levi 3878 he said 559, "{Let} Your Thummim 8550 and Your Urim 224 {belong} to Your godly 2623 man 376, Whom 834 You proved 5254 at Massah 4532, With whom You contended 7378 at the waters 4325 of Meribah 4809;
9 Who said 559 of his father 1 and his mother 517, 'I did not consider 7200 them'; And he did not acknowledge 5234 his brothers 251, Nor 3808 did he regard 3045 his own sons 1121, For they observed 8104 Your word 565, And kept 5341 Your covenant 1285.
10 "They shall teach 3384 Your ordinances 4941 to Jacob 3290, And Your law 8451 to Israel 3478. They shall put 7760 incense 6988 before 639 You, And whole 3632 burnt 3632 offerings 3632 on Your altar 4196.
11 "O LORD 3068, bless 1288 his substance 2428, And accept 7521 the work 6467 of his hands 3027; Shatter 4272 the loins 4975 of those who rise 6965 up against him, And those who hate 8130 him, so 4480 that they will not rise 6965 {again.}"
12 ¶ Of Benjamin 1144 he said 559, "May the beloved 3039 of the LORD 3068 dwell 7931 in security 983 by Him, Who shields 2653 him all 3605 the day 3117, And he dwells 7931 between 996 His shoulders 3802."
13 ¶ Of Joseph 3130 he said 559, "Blessed 1288 of the LORD 3068 {be} his land 776, With the choice 4022 things 4022 of heaven 8064, with the dew 2919, And from the deep 8415 lying 7257 beneath 8478,
14 And with the choice 4022 yield 8393 of the sun 8121, And with the choice 4022 produce 1645 of the months 3391.
15 "And with the best 7218 things 7218 of the ancient 6924 mountains 2022, And with the choice 4022 things 4022 of the everlasting 5769 hills 1389,
16 And with the choice 4022 things 4022 of the earth 776 and its fullness 4393, And the favor 7522 of Him who dwelt 7931 in the bush 5572. Let it come 935 to the head 7218 of Joseph 3130, And to the crown 6936 of the head 6936 of the one 5139 distinguished 5139 among his brothers 251.
17 "As the firstborn 1060 of his ox 7794, majesty 1926 is his, And his horns 7161 are the horns 7161 of the wild 7214 ox 7214; With them he will push 5055 the peoples 5971, All 3164 at once 3164, {to} the ends 657 of the earth 776. And those 1992 are the ten 7233 thousands 7233 of Ephraim 669, And those 1992 are the thousands 505 of Manasseh 4519."
18 ¶ Of Zebulun 2074 he said 559, "Rejoice 8055, Zebulun 2074, in your going 3318 forth 3318, And, Issachar 3485, in your tents 168.
19 "They will call 7121 peoples 5971 {to} the mountain 2022; There 8033 they will offer 2076 righteous 6664 sacrifices 2077; For they will draw 3243 out the abundance 8228 of the seas 3220, And the hidden 2934 treasures 5603 of the sand 2344."
20 ¶ Of Gad 1410 he said 559, "Blessed 1288 is the one who enlarges 7337 Gad 1410; He lies 7931 down 7931 as a lion 3833, And tears 2963 the arm 2220, also 637 the crown 6936 of the head 6936.
21 "Then he provided 7200 the first 7225 {part} for himself, For there 8033 the ruler's 2710 portion 2513 was reserved 5603; And he came 857 {with} the leaders 7218 of the people 5971; He executed 6213 the justice 6666 of the LORD 3068, And His ordinances 4941 with Israel 3478."
22 ¶ Of Dan 1835 he said 559, "Dan 1835 is a lion's 743 whelp 1482, That leaps 2187 forth from Bashan 1316."
23 ¶ Of Naphtali 5321 he said 559, "O Naphtali 5321, satisfied 7649 with favor 7522, And full 4392 of the blessing 1293 of the LORD 3068, Take 3423 possession 3423 of the sea 3220 and the south 1864."
24 ¶ Of Asher 836 he said 559, "More 4480 blessed 1288 than 4480 sons 1121 is Asher 836; May he be favored 7521 by his brothers 251, And may he dip 2881 his foot 7272 in oil 8081.
25 "Your locks 4515 will be iron 1270 and bronze 5178, And according to your days 3117, so will your leisurely 1679 walk 1679 be.
26 ¶ "There 369 is none 369 like the God 410 of Jeshurun 3484, Who rides 7392 the heavens 8064 to your help 5828, And through the skies 7834 in His majesty 1346.
27 "The eternal 6924 God 430 is a dwelling 4585 place 4585, And underneath 8478 are the everlasting 5769 arms 2220; And He drove 1644 out the enemy 340 from before you, And said 559, 'Destroy 8045!'
28 "So Israel 3478 dwells 7931 in security 983, The fountain 5871 of Jacob 3290 secluded 910, In a land 776 of grain 1715 and new 8492 wine 8492; His heavens 8064 also 637 drop 6201 down 6201 dew 2919.
29 "Blessed 835 are you, O Israel 3478; Who 4310 is like 3644 you, a people 5971 saved 3467 by the LORD 3068, Who is the shield 4043 of your help 5828 And the sword 2719 of your majesty 1346! So your enemies 340 will cringe 3584 before you, And you will tread 1869 upon their high 1116 places 1116."

The Death of Moses

Now Moses 4872 went 5927 up from the plains 6160 of Moab 4124 to Mount 2022 Nebo 5015, to the top 7218 of Pisgah 6449, which 834 is opposite Jericho 3405. And the LORD 3068 showed 7200 him all 3605 the land 776, Gilead 1568 as far 5704 as Dan 1835,
2 and all 3605 Naphtali 5321 and the land 776 of Ephraim 669 and Manasseh 4519, and all 3605 the land 776 of Judah 3063 as far 5704 as the western 314 sea 3220,
3 and the Negev 5045 and the plain 3603 in the valley 1237 of Jericho 3405, the city 5892 of palm 8558 trees 8558, as far 5704 as Zoar 6820.
4 Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to him, "This 2088 is the land 776 which 834 I swore 7650 to Abraham 85, Isaac 3327, and Jacob 3290, saying 559, 'I will give 5414 it to your descendants 2233'; I have let you see 7200 {it} with your eyes 5869, but you shall not go 5674 over 5674 there 8033."
5 So Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068 died 4191 there 8033 in the land 776 of Moab 4124, according 5921 to the word 6310 of the LORD 3068.
6 And He buried 6912 him in the valley 1516 in the land 776 of Moab 4124, opposite 4136 Beth-peor 1047; but no 3808 man 376 knows 3045 his burial 6900 place 6900 to this 2088 day 3117.
7 Although Moses 4872 was one hundred 3967 and twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 when he died 4194, his eye 5869 was not dim 3543, nor 3808 his vigor 3893 abated 5127.
8 So the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 wept 1058 for Moses 4872 in the plains 6160 of Moab 4124 thirty 7970 days 3117; then the days 3117 of weeping 1065 {and} mourning 60 for Moses 4872 came 8552 to an end 8552.
9 ¶ Now Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126 was filled 4392 with the spirit 7307 of wisdom 2451, for Moses 4872 had laid 5564 his hands 3027 on him; and the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 listened 8085 to him and did 6213 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
10 Since 5750 that time 5750 no 3808 prophet 5030 has risen 6965 in Israel 3478 like Moses 4872, whom 834 the LORD 3068 knew 3045 face 6440 to face 6440,
11 for all 3605 the signs 226 and wonders 4159 which 834 the LORD 3068 sent 7971 him to perform 6213 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714 against Pharaoh 6547, all 3605 his servants 5650, and all 3605 his land 776,
12 and for all 3605 the mighty 2389 power 3027 and for all 3605 the great 1419 terror 4172 which 834 Moses 4872 performed 6213 in the sight 5869 of all 3605 Israel 3478.
