Deu 1:1 These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side of the Jordan in the desert towards the west near the Red Sea, between Paran, Tophel, Laban, and Aulon, and the gold works.
Deu 1:2 It is a journey of eleven days from Horeb to Mount Seir as far as Kadesh Barnea.
Deu 1:3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to all the children of Israel, according to all things which the Lord commanded him for them;
Deu 1:4 after he had killed Sihon king of the Amorites who dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan who dwelt in Ashtaroth and in Edrei.
Deu 1:5 Beyond the Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying,
Deu 1:6 The Lord your God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, Let it suffice you to have dwelt so long in this mountain.
Deu 1:7 Turn and depart, and enter into the mountain of the Amorites, and go to all that dwell near about Arabah, to the mountain and the plain and to the south, and the land of the Canaanites near the sea, and to Lebanon, as far as the great river, the River Euphrates.
Deu 1:8 Behold, God has delivered the land before you; go in and inherit the land, which I swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; to give it to them and to their seed after them.
Deu 1:9 And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I shall not be able by myself to bear you.
Deu 1:10 The Lord your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are today as the stars of heaven in multitude.
Deu 1:11 May the Lord God of your fathers add to you a thousand times more numerous than you already are, and bless you, as He has spoken to you.
Deu 1:12 How shall I alone be able to bear your labor, and your burden, and your complaints?
Deu 1:13 Take to yourselves wise and understanding and prudent men for your tribes, and I will set your leaders over you.
Deu 1:14 And you answered me and said, The thing which you have told us is good to do.
Deu 1:15 So I took of you wise and understanding and prudent men, and I set them to rule over you as rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, and rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens, and officers to your judges.
Deu 1:16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the cases between your brothers, and judge rightly between a man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
Deu 1:17 You shall not have respect to persons in judgment, you shall judge small and great equally; you shall not shrink from before the person of a man, for the judgment is God's; and whatsoever matter shall be too hard for you, you shall bring it to me, and I will hear it.
Deu 1:18 And I charged upon you at that time all the commands which you shall perform.
Deu 1:19 And we departed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite, as the Lord our God charged us, and we came as far as Kadesh Barnea.
Deu 1:20 And I said to you, You have come as far as the mountain of the Amorite, which the Lord our God gives to you.
Deu 1:21 Behold, the Lord your God has delivered to us the land before you; go up and inherit it as the Lord God of your fathers said to you; fear not, neither be afraid.
Deu 1:22 And you all came to me, and said, Let us send men before us, and let them go up to the land for us; and let them bring back to us a report of the way by which we shall go up, and of the cities into which we shall enter.
Deu 1:23 And the saying pleased me: and I took of you twelve men; one man from each tribe.
Deu 1:24 And they turned, and went up to the mountain, and they came as far as the Valley of the Cluster, and surveyed it.
Deu 1:25 And they took in their hands of the fruit of the land, and brought it to you, and said, The land is good which the Lord our God gives us.
Deu 1:26 Yet you would not go up, but rebelled against the words of the Lord our God.
Deu 1:27 And you murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us.
Deu 1:28 Where do we go up? And your brethren drew away your heart, saying, It is a great nation and populous, and mightier than we; and there are cities great and walled up to heaven. Moreover we saw the sons of the giants there.
Deu 1:29 And I said to you, Fear not, neither be afraid of them;
Deu 1:30 the Lord your God, who goes before your face, He shall fight against them together with you effectually, according to all that He did for you in the land of Egypt;
Deu 1:31 and in this wilderness which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite; how the Lord your God will bear you like a son, as if any man should carry his son, through all the way which you have gone, until you came to this place.
Deu 1:32 And in this matter you believed not the Lord our God,
Deu 1:33 who goes before you in the way to choose you a place, guiding you in the fire by night, showing you the way by which you should go, and a cloud by day.
Deu 1:34 And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and being greatly provoked, He swore, saying,
Deu 1:35 Not one of these men shall see this good land, which I swore to their fathers,
Deu 1:36 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, he shall see it; and to him I will give the land on which he went up, and to his sons, because he attended to the things of the Lord.
Deu 1:37 And the Lord was angry with me for your sake, saying, Neither shall you by any means enter therein.
Deu 1:38 Joshua the son of Nun, who stands by you, he shall enter in there; strengthen him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
Deu 1:39 And every young child who this day knows not good or evil, they shall enter therein, and to them I will give it, and they shall inherit it.
Deu 1:40 And you turned and marched into the wilderness, in the way by the Red Sea.
Deu 1:41 And you answered and said, We have sinned before the Lord our God; we will go up and fight according to all that the Lord our God has commanded us. And everyone, having taken up their weapons of war, and being gathered together, went up to the mountain.
Deu 1:42 And the Lord said to me, Tell them, You shall not go up, neither shall you fight, for I am not with you; lest you be destroyed before your enemies.
Deu 1:43 And I spoke to you, and you did not listen to me; and you transgressed the commandment of the Lord; and you forced your way and went up into the mountain.
Deu 1:44 And the Amorite who dwelt in that mountain came out to meet you, and pursued you as bees do, and wounded you from Seir to Hormah.
Deu 1:45 And you sat down and wept before the Lord our God, and the Lord would not listen to your voice, neither did He take heed to you.
Deu 1:46 And you dwelt in Kadesh many days, as many days as you dwelt there.
Deu 2:1 And we turned and departed into the wilderness, by the way of the Red Sea, as the Lord spoke to me, and we compassed Mount Seir many days.
Deu 2:2 And the Lord said to me,
Deu 2:3 You have compassed this mountain long enough; turn therefore toward the north.
Deu 2:4 And command the people, saying, You are going through the borders of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they shall fear you, and dread you greatly.
Deu 2:5 Do not engage in war against them, for I will not give you of their land even enough to set your foot upon, for I have given Mount Seir to the children of Esau as an inheritance.
Deu 2:6 Buy food from them for money, and eat, and you shall receive water from them by measure for money, and drink.
Deu 2:7 For the Lord our God has blessed you in every work of your hands. Consider how you went through that great and terrible wilderness behold, the Lord your God has been with you for forty years; you did not lack anything.
Deu 2:8 And we passed by our brethren the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, by the way of Arabah from Elath and from Ezion Geber; and we turned and passed by the way of the desert of Moab.
Deu 2:9 And the Lord said to me, Do not quarrel with the Moabites, and do not engage in war with them; for I will not give you of their land for an inheritance, for I have given Ar to the children of Lot, to inherit.
Deu 2:10 Formerly the Emim dwelt in it, a great and numerous nation and powerful, like the Anakim.
Deu 2:11 These also shall be accounted as Rephaim, like the Anakim; and the Moabites call them Emim.
Deu 2:12 And the Horites dwelt in Seir before, and the sons of Esau destroyed them, and utterly consumed them from before them; and they dwelt in their place, as Israel did to the land of his inheritance, which the Lord gave to them.
Deu 2:13 Now then, arise, I said, and depart, and cross the valley of Zered.
Deu 2:14 And the days in which we traveled from Kadesh Barnea, till we crossed the valley of Zered, were thirty-eight years, until the whole generation of the men of war failed, dying out of the camp, as the Lord God swore to them.
Deu 2:15 And the hand of the Lord was upon them, to destroy them out of the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
Deu 2:16 And it came to pass when all the men of war dying out of the midst of the people had fallen,
Deu 2:17 that the Lord spoke to me, saying,
Deu 2:18 You shall pass over this day the borders of Moab, to Ar;
Deu 2:19 and you shall draw near to the children of Ammon: do not quarrel with them, nor wage war with them; for I will not give you of the land of the children of Ammon for an inheritance, because I have given it to the children of Lot for an inheritance.
Deu 2:20 It shall be accounted a land for the Rephaim, for the Rephaim dwelt there before, and the Ammonites call them Zamzummim.
Deu 2:21 A great nation and populous, and mightier than you, as also the Anakim; yet the Lord destroyed them from before them, and they inherited their land, and they dwelt there instead of them until this day.
Deu 2:22 As they did to the children of Esau that dwell in Seir, even as they destroyed the Horite from before them, and inherited their country, and dwelt therein instead of them until this day.
Deu 2:23 And the Avim who dwell in Asedoth to Gaza, and the Cappadocians who came out of Cappadocia, destroyed them, and dwelt in their place.
Deu 2:24 Now then arise and depart, and pass over the valley of Ar; behold, I have delivered into your hands Sihon the king of Heshbon the Amorite, and his land. Begin to inherit it; engage in war with him this day.
Deu 2:25 Begin to put your terror and your fear on the face of all the nations under heaven, who shall be troubled when they have heard your name, and shall be in anguish before you.
Deu 2:26 And I sent ambassadors from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with peaceable words, saying,
Deu 2:27 I will pass through your land; I will go by the road, I will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
Deu 2:28 You shall give me food for money, and I will eat; and you shall give me water for money, and I will drink; I will only go through on my feet:
Deu 2:29 as the sons of Esau did to me, who dwelt in Seir, and the Moabites who dwelt in Ar, until I have passed the Jordan, into the land which the Lord our God gives us.
Deu 2:30 And Sihon king of Heshbon would not allow us to pass by him, because the Lord our God hardened his spirit, and made his heart stubborn, that he might be delivered into your hands, as it is this day.
Deu 2:31 And the Lord said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver before you Sihon the king of Heshbon the Amorite, and his land: begin to inherit his land.
Deu 2:32 And Sihon the king of Heshbon came forth to meet us, he and all his people to war at Jahaz.
Deu 2:33 And the Lord our God delivered him before our face, and we struck him, and his sons, and all his people.
Deu 2:34 And we took possession of all his cities at that time, and we utterly destroyed every city in succession, and their wives, and their children; we left no living prey.
Deu 2:35 Only we took the livestock captive, and took the spoil of the cities.
Deu 2:36 From Ar, which is by the brink of the brook of Arnon, and the city which is in the valley, and as far as the mount of Gilead; there was not a city which escaped us: the Lord our God delivered all of them into our hands.
Deu 2:37 Only we did not draw near to the children of Ammon, even all the parts bordering on the brook Jabbok, and the cities in the mountain country, as the Lord our God commanded us.
Deu 3:1 And we turned and went by the way leading to Bashan. And Og the king of Bashan came out to meet us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
Deu 3:2 And the Lord said to me, Fear him not, for I have delivered him, and all his people, and all his land, into your hands; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites who dwelt in Heshbon.
Deu 3:3 And the Lord our God delivered him into our hands, even Og the king of Bashan, and all his people; and we struck him until we left none of his seed.
Deu 3:4 And we mastered all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we did not take from them; sixty cities, all the country round about Argob, belonging to King Og in Bashan;
Deu 3:5 all strong cities, lofty walls, gates and bars, besides the very many cities of the Perizzites.
Deu 3:6 We utterly destroyed them as we dealt with Sihon the king of Heshbon, so we utterly destroyed every city in order, and the women and children,
Deu 3:7 and all the cattle; and we took for a prey to ourselves the spoil of the cities.
Deu 3:8 And we took at that time the land out of the hands of the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, extending from the brook of Arnon even unto Hermon.
Deu 3:9 The Phoenicians call Hermon Sirion, but the Amorite calls it Senir.
Deu 3:10 All the cities of Misor, and all Gilead, and all Bashan as far as Salcha and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
Deu 3:11 For only Og the king of Bashan was left of the Rephaim. Behold, his bed was a bed of iron; behold, it is in the chief city of the children of Ammon; the length of it is nine cubits, and the breadth of it four cubits, according to the cubit of a man.
Deu 3:12 And we inherited that land at that time from Ar, which is by the border of the torrent Arnon, and half the mount of Gilead; and I gave his cities to Reuben and to Gad.
Deu 3:13 And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan the kingdom of Og I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh, and all the country round about Argob, all that Bashan; it shall be accounted the land of Rephaim.
Deu 3:14 And Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country round about Argob as far as the borders of Gargasi and Machathi: he called them by his name Bashan Thavoth Jair, until this day.
Deu 3:15 And to Machir I gave Gilead.
Deu 3:16 And to Reuben and to Gad I gave the land under Gilead as far as the brook of Arnon, the border between the brook and as far as Jabbok; the brook is the border to the children of Ammon.
Deu 3:17 And the Arabah and the Jordan are the boundaries of Chinnereth, even to the sea of Arabah, the Salt Sea under Asedoth Pisga eastward.
Deu 3:18 And I commanded you at that time, saying, The Lord your God has given you this land by lot: arm yourselves, everyone that is powerful, and go before your brethren the children of Israel.
Deu 3:19 Only your wives and your children and your livestock (I know that you have much livestock), let them dwell in your cities which I have given you;
Deu 3:20 until the Lord your God give your brethren rest, as also He has given to you, and they also shall inherit the land, which the Lord our God gives them on the other side of the Jordan; then you shall return, each one to his inheritance which I have given you.
Deu 3:21 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Your eyes have seen all things, which the Lord our God did to these two kings; so shall the Lord our God do to all the kingdoms against which you shall cross over.
Deu 3:22 You shall not be afraid of them, because the Lord our God Himself shall fight for you.
Deu 3:23 And I pleaded with the Lord at that time, saying,
Deu 3:24 Lord God, You have begun to show to Your servant Your strength and Your power, and Your mighty hand and Your outstretched arm: for what God is there in heaven or on earth who will do as You have done, and according to Your might?
Deu 3:25 I will therefore go over and see this good land that is beyond the Jordan, this good mountain, and Lebanon.
Deu 3:26 And the Lord regarded me not because of you, and hearkened not to me; and the Lord said to me, Enough already, do not speak of this matter to Me anymore!
Deu 3:27 Go up to the top of the quarried rock, and look with your eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with your eyes, for you shall not go over this Jordan.
Deu 3:28 And command Joshua, and strengthen him, and encourage him; for he shall go before the face of this people, and he shall give them the inheritance of all the land which you have seen.
Deu 3:29 And we stayed in the valley near Beth Peor.
Deu 4:1 And now, O Israel, hear the statutes and judgments, hear all that I teach you this day to do, that you may live, and be multiplied, and that you may go in and inherit the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives to you.
Deu 4:2 You shall not add to the word which I command you, and you shall not take from it: keep the commandments of the Lord our God, all that I command you this day.
Deu 4:3 Your eyes have seen all that the Lord our God did in Baal Peor; for every man that went after Baal of Peor, the Lord your God has utterly destroyed him from among you.
Deu 4:4 But you that kept close to the Lord your God are all alive this day.
Deu 4:5 Behold, I have shown you the statutes and judgments as the Lord has commanded me, that you should do so in the land into which you go, to inherit it.
Deu 4:6 And you shall keep and do them: for this is your wisdom and understanding before all nations, as many as shall hear all these ordinances; and they shall say, Behold, this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
Deu 4:7 For what manner of nation is so great, which has God so near to them as the Lord our God is in all things in whatsoever we may call upon Him?
Deu 4:8 And what manner of nation is so great, which has righteous statutes and judgments according to all this law, which I set before you this day?
Deu 4:9 Take heed to yourself, and keep your heart diligently: forget not any of the things, which your eyes have seen, and let them not depart from your heart all the days of your life; and you shall teach your sons and your sons' sons,
Deu 4:10 even the things that happened in the day in which you stood before the Lord our God in Horeb in the day of the assembly; for the Lord said to me, Gather the people to Me, and let them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days which they live upon the earth, and they shall teach their sons.
Deu 4:11 And you drew near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire up to heaven: there was darkness, blackness, and a tempest.
Deu 4:12 And the Lord spoke to you out of the midst of the fire a voice of words, which you heard: and you saw no likeness, only you heard a voice.
Deu 4:13 And He declared to you His covenant, which He commanded you to keep, even the Ten Commandments; and He wrote them on two tables of stone.
Deu 4:14 And the Lord commanded me at that time, to teach you statutes and judgments, that you should do them on the land, into which you go to inherit it.
Deu 4:15 And take careful heed to your hearts, for you saw no similitude in the day in which the Lord spoke to you in Horeb in the mountain out of the midst of the fire;
Deu 4:16 lest you transgress, and make to yourselves a carved image, any kind of figure, the likeness of male or female,
Deu 4:17 the likeness of any beast of those that are on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird which flies under heaven,
Deu 4:18 the likeness of any reptile which creeps on the earth, the likeness of any fish of those which are in the waters under the earth;
Deu 4:19 and lest having looked up to the sky, and having seen the sun and the moon and the stars, and all the heavenly bodies, you should go astray and worship them, and serve them, which the Lord your God has distributed to all the nations under heaven.
Deu 4:20 But God took you, and led you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to Him a people of inheritance, as it is this day.
Deu 4:21 And the Lord God was angry with me for the things said by you, and swore that I should not go over this Jordan, and that I should not enter into the land, which the Lord your God has given you for an inheritance.
Deu 4:22 For I am to die in this land, and shall not pass over this Jordan; but you are to pass over, and shall inherit this good land.
Deu 4:23 Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of the Lord our God, which He made with you, and you transgress, and make to yourselves a graven image of any of the things concerning which the Lord your God commanded you.
Deu 4:24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
Deu 4:25 And when you have begotten sons and grandsons, and you have dwelt a long time on the land, and have transgressed, and made a graven image of any thing, and have done wickedly before the Lord your God to provoke Him;
Deu 4:26 I call heaven and earth this day to witness against you, that you shall surely perish from off the land, into which you go across the Jordan to inherit it there; you shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall be utterly cut off.
Deu 4:27 And the Lord shall scatter you among all nations, and you shall be left few in number among all the nations, among which the Lord shall bring you.
Deu 4:28 And there you shall serve other gods, the works of the hands of men, wood and stones, which cannot see, nor can they hear, nor eat, nor smell.
Deu 4:29 And there you shall seek the Lord your God, and you shall find Him whenever you shall seek Him with all your heart, and with all your soul in your affliction.
Deu 4:30 And all these things shall come upon you in the last days, and you shall turn to the Lord your God, and shall hearken to His voice.
Deu 4:31 Because the Lord your God is a merciful God; He will not forsake you, nor destroy you; He will not forget the covenant of your fathers, which the Lord swore to them.
Deu 4:32 Ask of the former days which were before you, from the day when God created man upon the earth; and beginning at the one end of heaven to the other, if there has ever happened such a great event as this; if such a thing has ever been heard;
Deu 4:33 if a nation has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and have lived!
Deu 4:34 Or did God ever try to go and take for Himself a nation out of the midst of another nation by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by great sights, according to all the things which the Lord our God did in Egypt in your sight?
Deu 4:35 So that you should know that the Lord your God, He is God, and there is none beside Him.
Deu 4:36 His voice was made audible from heaven to instruct you, and He showed you His great fire upon the earth, and you heard His words out of the midst of the fire.
Deu 4:37 Because He loved your fathers, He also chose you, their seed, after them, and He brought you Himself out of Egypt with His great strength,
Deu 4:38 to destroy nations greater and stronger than you before your face, to bring you in, to give you their land to inherit, as you have this day.
Deu 4:39 And you shall know this day, and shall consider in your heart, that the Lord your God, He is God in heaven above, and on the earth below, and there is none else but He.
Deu 4:40 And keep His commandments and His statutes, all that I command you this day; that it may be well with you, and with your sons after you, that you may be long-lived upon the earth, which the Lord your God is giving you forever.
Deu 4:41 Then Moses separated three cities beyond the Jordan on the east,
Deu 4:42 that the manslayer might flee there, one who has killed his neighbor unintentionally, and should not have hated him in times past, and he shall flee to one of these cities and live.
Deu 4:43 Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead belonging to Gad, and Golan in Bashan belonging to Manasseh.
Deu 4:44 This is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel.
Deu 4:45 These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments which Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt,
Deu 4:46 on the other side of the Jordan, in the valley near Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, whom Moses and the sons of Israel killed when they came out of the land of Egypt.
Deu 4:47 And they inherited his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan eastward.
Deu 4:48 From Ar, which is on the border of the brook Arnon, even to Mount Zion, which is Hermon.
Deu 4:49 All Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward under Asedoth hewn in the rock.
Deu 5:1 And Moses called all Israel, and said to them, Hear, O Israel, the ordinances and statutes, all that I speak in your ears this day, and you shall learn them, and observe to do them.
Deu 5:2 The Lord your God made a covenant with you in Horeb.
Deu 5:3 The Lord did not make this covenant with your fathers, but with you: you are all here alive this day.
Deu 5:4 The Lord spoke to you face to face in the mountain out of the midst of the fire.
Deu 5:5 And I stood between the Lord and you at that time to report to you the words of the Lord, (because you were afraid before the fire, and you went not up to the mountain,) saying,
Deu 5:6 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Deu 5:7 You shall have no other gods before Me.
Deu 5:8 You shall not make to yourself an image, nor likeness of anything, whatever things are in the heaven above, and whatever are in the earth below, and whatever are in the waters under the earth.
Deu 5:9 You shall not bow down to them, nor shall you serve them; for I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation to them that hate Me,
Deu 5:10 and doing mercifully to thousands of them that love Me, and that keep My commandments.
Deu 5:11 You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord your God will certainly not acquit him that takes His name in vain.
Deu 5:12 Keep the Sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord your God has commanded you.
Deu 5:13 Six days you shall work, and you shall do all your works;
Deu 5:14 but on the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God: you shall do in it no work, neither you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, your ox, your donkey, your livestock, nor the stranger that sojourns in the midst of you; that your male servant may rest, and your maid and your ox, as well as you.
Deu 5:15 And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there with a mighty hand, and an outstretched arm; therefore the Lord has commanded you to keep the Sabbath day, and to sanctify it.
Deu 5:16 Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you; that it may be well with you, and that you may live long upon the land, which the Lord your God gives you.
Deu 5:17 You shall not commit murder.
Deu 5:18 You shall not commit adultery.
Deu 5:19 You shall not steal.
Deu 5:20 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
Deu 5:21 You shall not covet your neighbor's wife; you shall not covet your neighbor's house, nor his field, nor his male servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor any beast of his, nor anything that belongs to your neighbor.
Deu 5:22 These words the Lord spoke to all the assembly of you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire there was darkness, blackness, a storm, and a loud voice and He added no more, and He wrote them on two tablets of stone, and He gave them to me.
Deu 5:23 And it came to pass when you heard the voice out of the midst of the fire, for the mountain burned with fire, that you came to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders,
Deu 5:24 and you said, Behold, the Lord our God has shown us His glory, and we have heard His voice out of the midst of the fire: this day we have seen that God shall speak to man, and he shall live.
Deu 5:25 And now let us not die, for this great fire will consume us, if we shall hear the voice of the Lord our God anymore, and we shall die.
Deu 5:26 For what man is there, who has heard the voice of the living God, speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have heard, and shall live?
Deu 5:27 But draw near, and hear all that the Lord our God shall say, and you shall speak to us all things whatsoever the Lord our God shall speak to you, and we will hear, and do.
Deu 5:28 And the Lord heard the voice of your words as you spoke to me; and the Lord said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, even all things that they have said to you. They have well said all that they have spoken.
Deu 5:29 O that there were such a heart in them, that they should fear Me, and keep My commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their sons forever!
Deu 5:30 Go, say to them, Return to your houses,
Deu 5:31 but you stand here with Me, and I will tell you all the commands and the statutes and the judgments, which you shall teach them, and let them do so in the land which I give them for an inheritance.
Deu 5:32 And you shall take heed to do as the Lord your God has commanded you; you shall not turn aside to the right or to the left,
Deu 5:33 according to all the way which the Lord your God commanded you to walk in it, that He may give you rest; and that it may be well with you, and you may prolong your days on the land which you shall inherit.
Deu 6:1 And these are the commands, and the statutes, and the judgments, as many as the Lord our God gave commandment, to teach you to do so in the land on which you enter to inherit it.
Deu 6:2 That you may fear the Lord your God, and keep all His statutes, and His commandments, which I command you today, you, and your sons, and your sons' sons, all the days of your life, that you may live many days.
Deu 6:3 Therefore hear, O Israel, and observe to do them, that it may be well with you, and that you may be greatly multiplied, as the Lord God of your fathers said that He would give you a land flowing with milk and honey. And these are the statutes and the judgments, which the Lord commanded the children of Israel in the wilderness, when they had gone forth from the land of Egypt.
Deu 6:4 Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord.
Deu 6:5 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your mind, and with all your soul, and all your strength.
Deu 6:6 And these words, all that I command you this day, shall be in your heart and in your soul.
Deu 6:7 And you shall teach them to your children, and you shall speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up.
Deu 6:8 And you shall fasten them for a sign upon your hand, and it shall be immovable before your eyes.
Deu 6:9 And you shall write them on the lintels of your houses and of your gates.
Deu 6:10 And it shall come to pass, when the Lord your God has brought you into the land which He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, and to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you great and beautiful cities which you did not build,
Deu 6:11 houses full of all good things which you did not fill, wells dug in the rock which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant, then having eaten and been filled,
Deu 6:12 beware lest you forget the Lord your God that brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Deu 6:13 You shall fear the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve; and you shall cleave to Him, and by His name you shall swear.
Deu 6:14 Go not after other gods, of the gods of the nations round about you,
Deu 6:15 for the Lord your God in the midst of you is a jealous God, lest the Lord your God be very angry with you, and destroy you from off the face of the earth.
Deu 6:16 You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted Him in the temptation.
Deu 6:17 You shall by all means keep the commandments of the Lord your God, the testimonies, and the statutes, which He has commanded you.
Deu 6:18 And you shall do that which is pleasing and good before the Lord your God, that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and inherit the good land, which the Lord swore to your fathers,
Deu 6:19 to chase all your enemies from before your face, as the Lord said.
Deu 6:20 And it shall come to pass, when your son shall ask you at a future time, saying, What are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord our God has commanded us?
Deu 6:21 Then shall you say to your son, We were slaves to Pharaoh in the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought us forth from there with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm.
Deu 6:22 And the Lord did great signs and wonders in Egypt, on Pharaoh and on his house before us.
Deu 6:23 And He brought us out from there to give us this land, which He swore to give to our fathers.
Deu 6:24 And the Lord commanded us to observe all these ordinances; to fear the Lord our God, that it may be well with us forever, that we may live, as it is this day.
Deu 6:25 And there shall be mercy to us, if we take heed to keep all these commandments before the Lord our God, as He has commanded us.
Deu 7:1 And when the Lord your God shall bring you into the land into which you go, to possess it, and shall remove great nations from before you, the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations more numerous and stronger than you,
Deu 7:2 and the Lord your God shall deliver them into your hands, then you shall smite them; you shall utterly destroy them: you shall not make a covenant with them, neither shall you pity them;
Deu 7:3 neither shall you contract marriages with them; you shall not give your daughter to his son, and you shall not take his daughter to your son.
Deu 7:4 For he will draw away your son from Me, and he will serve other gods; and the Lord will be very angry with you, and will soon utterly destroy you.
Deu 7:5 But thus shall you do to them: you shall destroy their altars, and shall break down their pillars, and cut down their groves, and you shall burn with fire the graven images of their gods.
Deu 7:6 For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; and the Lord your God chose you to be to Him a peculiar people beyond all nations that are upon the face of the earth.
Deu 7:7 It is not because you are more numerous than all other nations that the Lord has preferred you, and the Lord has chosen you: for you are fewer in number than all other nations.
Deu 7:8 But because the Lord has loved you, and He is keeping the oath which He swore to your fathers; the Lord has brought you out with a strong hand, and the Lord has redeemed you from the house of bondage, out of the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Deu 7:9 You shall know therefore, that the Lord your God, He is God, a faithful God, who keeps covenant and mercy for them that love Him, and for those that keep His commandments to a thousand generations,
Deu 7:10 and who recompenses them that hate Him to their face, to utterly destroy them; and will not be slack with them that hate Him; He will recompense them to their face.
Deu 7:11 You shall keep therefore the commands, and the statutes, and these judgments, which I command you this day to do.
Deu 7:12 And it shall come to pass when you shall have heard these statutes, and have kept and done them, that the Lord your God shall keep for you the covenant and the mercy, which He swore to your fathers.
Deu 7:13 And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; and He will bless the offspring of your body, and the fruit of your land, your grain, your wine, your oil, your herds of oxen, and the flocks of your sheep, on the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to give to you.
Deu 7:14 You shall be blessed beyond all nations; there shall not be among you an impotent or barren one, or among your livestock.
Deu 7:15 And the Lord your God shall remove all sickness from you; and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you have seen, and all that you have known, will He lay upon you; but He will lay them upon all those that hate you.
Deu 7:16 And you shall eat all the spoils of the nations which the Lord your God gives you; your eye shall not spare them, and you shall not serve their gods; for this is an offense to you.
Deu 7:17 But if you should say in your heart, This nation is greater than I, how shall I be able to destroy them utterly?
Deu 7:18 You shall not fear them; you shall surely remember all that the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all the Egyptians;
Deu 7:19 the great trials which your eyes have seen, those signs and great wonders, the strong hand and the outstretched arm; how the Lord your God brought you forth: so the Lord your God will do to all the nations, whom you fear in their presence.
Deu 7:20 And the Lord your God shall send against them the hornets, until those that are left and those that are hidden from you are utterly destroyed.
Deu 7:21 You shall not be wounded before them, because the Lord your God in the midst of you is a great and powerful God.
Deu 7:22 And the Lord your God shall consume these nations before you by little and little: you shall not be able to consume them speedily, lest the land become desert, and the wild beasts of the field be multiplied against you.
Deu 7:23 And the Lord your God shall deliver them into your hands, and you shall destroy them with a great destruction, until you have utterly destroyed them.
Deu 7:24 And He shall deliver their kings into your hands, and you shall destroy their name from that place; none shall stand up in opposition before you, until you have utterly destroyed them.
Deu 7:25 You shall burn with fire the graven images of their gods: you shall not covet their silver, neither shall you take to yourself gold from them, lest you should offend thereby, because it is an abomination to the Lord your God.
Deu 7:26 And you shall not bring an abomination into your house, so should you be an accursed thing like it; you shall utterly detest it, and altogether abominate it, because it is an accursed thing.
Deu 8:1 You shall observe to do all the commands which I charge you today, that you may live and be multiplied, and enter in and inherit the land, which the Lord your God swore to your fathers.
Deu 8:2 And you shall remember all the way which the Lord your God has led you in the wilderness, that He might afflict you, and try you, and that the things in your heart might be made manifest, whether you would keep His commandments or not.
Deu 8:3 And He afflicted you and straitened you with hunger, and fed you with manna, which your fathers knew not; that He might teach you that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God shall man live.
Deu 8:4 Your garments grew not old from off you, your shoes were not worn from off you, your feet were not painfully hardened, behold, for these forty years!
Deu 8:5 And you shall know in your heart, that as if any man should chasten his son, so the Lord your God will chasten you.
Deu 8:6 And you shall keep the commands of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to fear Him.
Deu 8:7 For the Lord your God will bring you into a good and extensive land, where there are torrents of waters, and fountains of deep places issuing through the plains and through the mountains;
Deu 8:8 a land of wheat and barley, with vines, figs, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;
Deu 8:9 a land on which you shall not eat your bread with poverty, and you shall not need anything upon it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of its mountains you shall dig brass.
Deu 8:10 And you shall eat and be filled, and shall bless the Lord your God on the good land, which He has given you.
Deu 8:11 Take heed to yourself that you forget not the Lord your God, so as not to keep His commands, and His judgments, and His statutes, which I command you this day,
Deu 8:12 lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built nice houses, and dwelt in them;
Deu 8:13 and your oxen and your sheep are multiplied to you, and your silver and your gold are multiplied to you, and all your possessions are multiplied to you,
Deu 8:14 that you should be exalted in your heart, and forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
Deu 8:15 who brought you through that great and terrible wilderness, where the biting serpent is, and the scorpion, and drought, where there was no water; who brought you a fountain of water out of the flinty rock;
Deu 8:16 who fed you with manna in the wilderness, which you knew not, and your fathers knew not; that He might afflict you, and thoroughly test you, and do you good in your latter days.
Deu 8:17 Lest you should say in your heart, My strength, and the power of my own hand have worked for me this great wealth!
Deu 8:18 But you shall remember the Lord your God, that He gives you strength to get wealth; even that He may establish His covenant, which the Lord swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
Deu 8:19 And it shall come to pass, that if you do at all forget the Lord your God, and should go after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall surely perish!
Deu 8:20 As also the other nations which the Lord God destroys before your face, so shall you perish, because you would not heed the voice of the Lord your God.
Deu 9:1 Hear, O Israel: You go this day across the Jordan to inherit nations greater and stronger than yourselves, cities great and walled up to heaven;
Deu 9:2 a people great and many and tall, the sons of Anak, whom you know, and concerning whom you have heard it said, Who can stand before the children of Anak?
Deu 9:3 And you shall know today, that the Lord your God, He shall go before your face; He is a consuming fire; He shall destroy them, and He shall turn them back before you, and shall destroy them quickly, as the Lord had said to you.
Deu 9:4 Speak not in your heart, when the Lord your God has destroyed these nations before your face, saying, For my righteousness the Lord brought me in to inherit this good land.
Deu 9:5 Not for your righteousness, nor for the holiness of your heart, do you go in to inherit their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations, the Lord shall destroy them from before you, and that He may establish the covenant, which the Lord swore to our fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Deu 9:6 And you shall know this day, that it is not for your righteousnesses that the Lord your God gives to you this good land to inherit, for you are a stiff-necked people.
Deu 9:7 Remember, forget not, how much you provoked the Lord your God in the wilderness; from the day that you came forth out of Egypt, even till you came into this place, you continued to be disobedient toward the Lord.
Deu 9:8 Also in Horeb you provoked the Lord, and the Lord was angry with you, to destroy you;
Deu 9:9 when I went up into the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant, which the Lord made with you, and I was in the mountain forty days and forty nights, I ate no bread and drank no water.
Deu 9:10 And the Lord gave me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God, and on them there had been written all the words which the Lord spoke to you in the mountain, in the day of the assembly.
Deu 9:11 And it came to pass after forty days and forty nights, that the Lord gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant.
Deu 9:12 And the Lord said to me, Arise, go down quickly from here, for your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have transgressed; they have gone aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them, and have made themselves a molten image.
Deu 9:13 And the Lord spoke to me, saying, I have spoken to you once and again, saying, I have seen this people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.
Deu 9:14 And now I shall utterly destroy them, and I will blot out their name from under heaven, and will make of you a nation great and strong, and more numerous than this.
Deu 9:15 And I turned and went down from the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to heaven; and the two tablets of the testimonies were in my two hands.
Deu 9:16 And when I saw that you had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made for yourselves a molten image, and had gone astray out of the way, which the Lord commanded you to keep;
Deu 9:17 then I took hold of the two tablets, and cast them out of my hands, and broke them before you.
Deu 9:18 And I made my petition before the Lord as also at the first forty days and forty nights: I ate no bread and drank no water, on account of all your sins which you sinned in doing evil before the Lord God, to provoke Him.
Deu 9:19 And I was greatly terrified because of the wrath and anger, because the Lord was provoked with you utterly, to destroy you; yet the Lord hearkened to me at this time also.
Deu 9:20 And He was angry with Aaron to destroy him utterly, and I prayed for Aaron also at that time.
Deu 9:21 And your sin which you had made, the calf, I took it, and I burned it with fire, and pounded it and ground it down till it became fine; and it became like dust, and I cast the dust into the brook that descended from the mountain.
Deu 9:22 Also in the burning, and in the temptation, and at the Graves of Lust, you provoked the Lord.
Deu 9:23 And when the Lord sent you forth from Kadesh Barnea, saying, Go up and inherit the land which I give to you, then you disobeyed the word of the Lord your God, and believed Him not, and hearkened not to His voice.
Deu 9:24 You were disobedient in the things relating to the Lord from the day in which He became known to you.
Deu 9:25 And I prayed before the Lord forty days and forty nights, the number that I prayed before, for the Lord said that He would utterly destroy you.
Deu 9:26 And I prayed to God, and said, O Lord, King of gods, destroy not Your people and Your inheritance, whom You redeemed, whom You brought out of the land of Egypt with Your great power, and with Your strong hand, and with Your outstretched arm.
Deu 9:27 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob Your servants, to whom You swore by Yourself: look not upon the hardness of heart of this people, and their wickedness, and their sins.
Deu 9:28 Lest the inhabitants of the land from which You brought us out speak, saying, Because the Lord could not bring them into the land of which He spoke to them, and because He hated them, has He brought them forth to slay them in the wilderness.
Deu 9:29 And these are Your people and Your portion, whom You brought out of the land of Egypt with Your great strength, and with Your mighty hand, and with Your outstretched arm.
Deu 10:1 At that time the Lord said to me, Hew for yourself two stone tablets like the first, and come up to Me into the mountain, and you shall make for yourself an ark of wood.
Deu 10:2 And I shall write upon the tablets the words which were on the first tablets which you broke, and you shall put them into the ark.
Deu 10:3 So I made an ark of boards of incorruptible wood, and I hewed tablets of stone like the first, and I went up to the mountain, and the two tablets were in my hand.
Deu 10:4 And He wrote upon the tablets according to the first writing, the Ten Commandments, which the Lord spoke to you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire, and the Lord gave them to me.
Deu 10:5 And I turned and came down from the mountain, and I put the tablets into the ark which I had made; and there they were, as the Lord commanded me.
Deu 10:6 And the children of Israel departed from Beeroth of the sons of Jakim to Moserah; where Aaron died, and there he was buried, and Eleazar his son was priest in his place.
Deu 10:7 From there they departed to Gudgodah; and from Gudogdah to Jotbathah, a land of torrents of water.
Deu 10:8 At that time the Lord separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand near before the Lord, to minister and bless in His name, to this day.
Deu 10:9 Therefore the Levites have no part nor inheritance among their brothers; the Lord Himself is their inheritance, as He said to them.
Deu 10:10 And I remained in the mountain for forty days and forty nights. And the Lord heard me at that time also, and the Lord would not destroy you.
Deu 10:11 And the Lord said to me, Go, set out before this people, and let them go in and inherit the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to them.
Deu 10:12 And now, O Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, and to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul;
Deu 10:13 to keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and His statutes, all that I command you this day, that it may be well with you?
Deu 10:14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens belong to the Lord your God, the earth and all things that are in it.
Deu 10:15 Only the Lord chose your fathers, to love them, and He chose out their seed after them, even you, beyond all nations, as it is this day.
Deu 10:16 Therefore you shall circumcise the hardness of your heart, and you shall not stiffen your neck.
Deu 10:17 For the Lord your God, He is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great and mighty; the awesome God, who is no respector of persons, nor will He by any means accept a bribe;
Deu 10:18 executing judgment for the stranger and orphan and widow, and He loves the stranger, to give him food and clothing.
Deu 10:19 And you shall love the stranger; for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Deu 10:20 You shall fear the Lord your God, and serve Him, and shall cleave to Him, and shall swear by His name.
Deu 10:21 He is your boast, and He is your God, who has done in the midst of you all these great and glorious things, which your eyes have seen.
Deu 10:22 With seventy souls your fathers went down into Egypt; but the Lord your God has made you as the stars of heaven in multitude.
Deu 11:1 Therefore you shall love the Lord your God, and shall observe His appointments, and His statutes, and His commandments, and His judgments, at all times.
Deu 11:2 And you shall know this day; for I speak not to your children, who know not and have not seen the discipline of the Lord your God, and His wonderful works, and His strong hand, and His outstretched arm,
Deu 11:3 and His miracles, and His wonders, which He did in the midst of Egypt on Pharaoh king of Egypt, and all his land;
Deu 11:4 and what He did to the army of the Egyptians, and to their chariots, and their cavalry, and their army; how He made the water of the Red Sea to overwhelm the face of them as they pursued after you, and the Lord destroyed them until this day;
Deu 11:5 and all the things which He did to you in the wilderness until you came into this place;
Deu 11:6 and all the things that He did to Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab the son of Reuben, whom the earth, opening her mouth, swallowed up, and their houses, and their tents, and all their substance that was with them, in the midst of all Israel;
Deu 11:7 for your eyes have seen all the mighty works of the Lord, which He did among you to this day.
Deu 11:8 And you shall keep all His commandments, as many as I command you this day, that you may live and be multiplied; and that you may go in and inherit the land, into which you go across the Jordan, to inherit it;
Deu 11:9 that you may live long upon the land, which the Lord swore to your fathers to give to them, and to their seed after them, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Deu 11:10 For the land into which you go to inherit it is not as the land of Egypt, from which you came out of, where they sowed the seed, and watered it with their feet, as a garden of herbs;
Deu 11:11 but the land into which you go to inherit it is a land of mountains and plains; it shall drink the water of the rain of heaven.
Deu 11:12 A land which the Lord your God surveys continually, the eyes of the Lord your God are upon it from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
Deu 11:13 Now if you will indeed hearken to all the commandments which I charge you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve Him with all your heart, and with all your soul,
Deu 11:14 then He shall give to your land the early and latter rain in its season, and you shall bring in your grain, your wine, and your oil.
Deu 11:15 And He shall give food in your fields to your livestock; and when you have eaten and are full,
Deu 11:16 take heed to yourself that your heart be not puffed up, and you transgress, and serve other gods, and worship them;
Deu 11:17 and the Lord be angry with you, and restrain the heavens; and there shall not be rain, and the earth shall not yield its fruit, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land, which the Lord has given you.
Deu 11:18 And you shall store these words in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and it shall be fixed before your eyes.
Deu 11:19 And you shall teach them to your children, so as to speak about them when you sit in the house, and when you walk by the way, and when you sleep, and when you rise up.
Deu 11:20 And you shall write them on the doorposts of your houses, and on your gates;
Deu 11:21 that your days may be long, and the days of your children, upon the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give to them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
Deu 11:22 And it shall come to pass that if you will indeed hearken to all these commandments which I charge you to observe this day, to love the Lord our God, and to walk in all His ways, and to cleave close to Him;
Deu 11:23 then the Lord shall cast out all these nations before you, and you shall inherit great nations stronger than yourselves.
Deu 11:24 Every place on which the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours; from the wilderness and Lebanon, and from the great river, the River Euphrates, even as far as the west sea shall be your coasts.
Deu 11:25 No one shall stand before you; and the Lord your God will put the fear of you and the dread of you on the face of all the land, on which you shall tread, as He told you.
Deu 11:26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:
Deu 11:27 a blessing, if you hearken to the commands of the Lord your God, all that I command you this day;
Deu 11:28 and a curse, if you do not hearken to the commands of the Lord our God, as many as I command you this day, and you wander from the way which I have commanded you, having gone to serve other gods, which you know not.
Deu 11:29 And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land into which you go over to inherit it, then you shall put blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse upon Mount Ebal.
Deu 11:30 Behold, are not these beyond the Jordan, behind, westward in the land of Canaan, which lies westward near Gilgal, beside the terebinth trees of Moreh?
Deu 11:31 For you are passing over the Jordan, to go in and inherit the land, which the Lord our God gives you to inherit always, and you shall dwell in it.
Deu 11:32 And you shall take heed to observe all His statutes, and these judgments, as many as I set before you this day.
Deu 12:1 And these are the ordinances and the judgments, which you shall observe to do in the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives you for an inheritance, all the days which you live upon the land.
Deu 12:2 You shall utterly destroy all the places in which they served their gods, whose land you inherit, on the high mountains and on the hills, and under the thick tree.
Deu 12:3 And you shall destroy their altars, and break in pieces their pillars, and you shall cut down their groves, and you shall burn with fire the graven images of their gods, and you shall abolish their name out of that place.
Deu 12:4 You shall not do so to the Lord your God.
Deu 12:5 But in the place which the Lord your God shall choose in one of your cities to name His name there, and to be called upon, you shall even seek Him out and go there.
Deu 12:6 And you shall carry there your whole burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your firstfruits, and your vowed offerings, and your freewill offerings, and your offerings of thanksgiving, the firstborn of your herds, and of your flocks.
Deu 12:7 And you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice in all the things on which you shall lay your hand, you and your houses, as the Lord your God has blessed you.
Deu 12:8 You shall not do altogether as we do here this day, every man that which is pleasing in his own sight.
Deu 12:9 For as yet you have not arrived at the rest and the inheritance, which the Lord our God gives you.
Deu 12:10 And you shall cross over the Jordan, and shall dwell in the land, which the Lord our God takes as an inheritance for you; and He shall give you rest from all your enemies round about, and you shall dwell safely.
Deu 12:11 And there shall be a place which the Lord your God shall choose for His name to be called there, from which shall you bring all things that I order you this day; your whole burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the firstfruits of your hands, and every choice gift of yours, whatsoever you shall vow to the Lord your God.
Deu 12:12 And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your sons, and your daughters, and your male servants and your female servants, and the Levite that is at your gates; because he has no portion or inheritance with you.
Deu 12:13 Take heed to yourself that you offer not your whole burnt offerings in any place which you shall see;
Deu 12:14 except in the place which the Lord your God shall choose, in one of your tribes, there shall you offer your whole burnt offerings, and there shall you do all things whatsoever I charge you this day.
Deu 12:15 But you shall kill according to all your desire, and shall eat flesh according to the blessing of the Lord your God, which He has given you in every city; the unclean that is within you and the clean shall eat it on equal terms, as the doe or the stag.
Deu 12:16 Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the ground as water.
Deu 12:17 You shall not be able to eat in your cities the tithe of your grain, and of your wine, and of your oil, the firstborn of your herd and of your flock, and all your vows, as many as you have vowed, and your thank offerings, and the firstfruits of your hands.
Deu 12:18 But before the Lord your God you shall eat it, in the place which the Lord your God shall choose for Himself; you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, and the stranger that is within your gates; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, on whatsoever you shall lay your hand.
Deu 12:19 Take heed to yourself that you do not forsake the Levite all the time that you live upon the earth.
Deu 12:20 And if the Lord your God shall enlarge your borders, as He said to you, and you shall say, I will eat flesh; if your soul should desire to eat flesh, you shall eat flesh according to all the desire of your soul.
Deu 12:21 And if the place be far from you, which the Lord your God shall choose for Himself, that His name be called upon it, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock which God shall have given you, even as I commanded you, and you shall eat in your cities according to the desire of your soul.
Deu 12:22 As the doe and the stag are eaten, so shall you eat it; the unclean in you and the clean shall eat it in like manner.
Deu 12:23 Take diligent heed that you eat no blood, for blood is the life of it; the life shall not be eaten with the flesh.
Deu 12:24 You shall not eat it; you shall pour it out on the ground as water.
Deu 12:25 You shall not eat it, that it may be well with you and with your sons after you, if you shall do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord your God.
Deu 12:26 But you shall take your holy things, if you have any, and your vowed offerings, and come to the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have His name named upon it.
Deu 12:27 And you shall sacrifice your whole burnt offerings, you shall offer the flesh upon the altar of the Lord your God; but the blood of your sacrifices you shall pour out at the foot of the altar of the Lord your God, but the flesh you shall eat.
Deu 12:28 Beware and hearken, and you shall do all the commands which I charge you, that it may be well with you and with your sons forever, if you shall do that which is pleasing and good before the Lord your God.
Deu 12:29 And if the Lord your God shall utterly destroy the nations from before you, to which you go to possess, to inherit their land, and you shall inherit it, and dwell in their land;
Deu 12:30 take heed to yourself that you seek not to follow them after they are destroyed before you, saying, How do these nations act towards their gods? I will do likewise.
Deu 12:31 You shall not do so to your God; for they have sacrificed to their gods the abominations of the Lord which He hates, for they burn their sons and their daughters in fire to their gods.
Deu 12:32 Every word that I command you this day, you shall observe to do: you shall not add to it, nor diminish from it.
Deu 13:1 And if there arise within you a prophet, or one who dreams a dream, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
Deu 13:2 and the sign or the wonder come to pass which he spoke to you, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which you know not;
Deu 13:3 you shall not hearken to the words of that prophet, or the dreamer of that dream, because the Lord your God is testing you, to see whether you love your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Deu 13:4 You shall follow the Lord your God, and fear Him, and you shall hear His voice, and attach yourselves to Him.
Deu 13:5 And that prophet or that dreamer of a dream shall die; for he has spoken to make you err from the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, who redeemed you from bondage, to thrust you out of the way which the Lord your God commanded you to walk in. So shall you abolish the evil from among you.
Deu 13:6 And if your brother by your father or mother, or your son, or daughter, or your wife in your bosom, or friend who is equal to your own soul, entreat you secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which neither you nor your fathers have known,
Deu 13:7 of the gods of the nations that are round about you, who are near you or at a distance from you, from one end of the earth to the other;
Deu 13:8 you shall not consent to him, neither shall you hearken to him; and your eye shall not spare him, you shall feel no regret for him, neither shall you at all protect him:
Deu 13:9 you shall surely report concerning him, and your hands shall be upon him among the first to slay him, and the hands of all the people at the last.
Deu 13:10 And they shall stone him with stones, and he shall die, because he sought to draw you away from the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Deu 13:11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not again do according to this evil thing among you.
Deu 13:12 And if in one of your cities which the Lord God gives you to dwell in, you shall hear men saying,
Deu 13:13 Evil men have gone out from you, and have caused all the inhabitants of their land to fall away, saying, Let us go and worship other gods, whom you knew not,
Deu 13:14 then you shall inquire and ask, and search diligently, and behold, if the thing is clearly true, and this abomination has taken place among you,
Deu 13:15 you shall utterly destroy all the inhabitants of that land with the edge of the sword; you shall solemnly curse it, and all things in it.
Deu 13:16 And all its spoils you shall gather into its public ways, and you shall burn the city with fire, and all its spoils publicly before the Lord your God; and it shall be uninhabited forever, it shall not be built again.
Deu 13:17 And none of the cursed things shall cleave to your hand, that the Lord may turn from His fierce anger, and show you mercy, and pity you, and multiply you, as He swore to your fathers;
Deu 13:18 if you will hear the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments, all that I charge you this day, to do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord your God.
Deu 14:1 You are the children of the Lord your God: you shall not make any baldness between you eyes for the dead.
Deu 14:2 For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord your God has chosen you to be a peculiar people to Himself of all the nations on the face of the earth.
Deu 14:3 You shall not eat any abominable thing.
Deu 14:4 These are the beasts which you shall eat; the calf of the herd, and lamb of the sheep, and kid of the goats;
Deu 14:5 the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, and the mountain goat.
Deu 14:6 Every beast that divides the hoofs, and makes claws of two divisions, and that chews the cud among beasts, these you shall eat.
Deu 14:7 And these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, and of those that divide the hoofs, and make distinct claws; the camel, and the hare, and the rabbit; because they chew the cud, and do not divide the hoof, these are unclean to you.
Deu 14:8 And as for the swine, because he divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, yet he chews not the cud, he is unclean to you; you shall not eat of their flesh, you shall not touch their dead bodies.
Deu 14:9 And these you shall eat of all that are in the water, you shall eat all that have fins and scales.
Deu 14:10 And all that have not fins and scales you shall not eat; they are unclean to you.
Deu 14:11 You shall eat every clean bird.
Deu 14:12 And these among them you shall not eat: the eagle, the ossifrage, the sea-eagle,
Deu 14:13 the vulture, the kite and the like to it,
Deu 14:14 <>
Deu 14:15 the sparrow, the owl, the seagull,
Deu 14:16 the heron, the swan, the stork,
Deu 14:17 the cormorant, the hawk and its like, the hoopoe, the raven,
Deu 14:18 the pelican, and the diver and the like to it, and the redbill and the bat.
Deu 14:19 All winged animals that creep are unclean to you; you shall not eat of them.
Deu 14:20 You shall eat every clean bird.
Deu 14:21 You shall eat nothing that dies of itself; it shall be given to the sojourner in your cities and he shall eat it, or you shall sell it to a stranger, because you are a holy people unto the Lord your God. You shall not boil a lamb in his mother's milk.
Deu 14:22 You shall tithe a tenth of all the produce of your seed, the fruit of your field, year by year.
Deu 14:23 And you shall eat it in the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have His name called there; you shall bring the tithe of your grain and of your wine, and of your oil, the firstborn of your herd and of your flock, that you may learn to fear the Lord your God at all times.
Deu 14:24 And if the journey is too far for you, and you are not able to bring them, because the place is far from you which the Lord your God shall choose to have His name called there, because the Lord your God will bless you;
Deu 14:25 then you shall sell them for money, and you shall take the money in your hands, and you shall go to the place which the Lord your God shall choose.
Deu 14:26 And you shall give the money for whatsoever your soul shall desire, for oxen or for sheep, or for wine, or you shall lay it out on strong drink, or on whatsoever your soul may desire, and you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice and your house,
Deu 14:27 and the Levite that is in your cities, because he has not a portion or inheritance with you.
Deu 14:28 After three years you shall bring out all the tithes of your fruits, in that year you shall lay it up in your cities.
Deu 14:29 And the Levite shall come, because he has no part or lot with you, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow which is in your cities, and they shall eat and be filled, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works which you shall do.
Deu 15:1 Every seven years you shall make a release.
Deu 15:2 And this is the ordinance of the release: you shall release every private debt which your neighbor owes you, and you shall not ask payment of it from your brother; for it has been called a release to the Lord your God.
Deu 15:3 Of a stranger you shall ask again whatsoever he has of yours, but to your brother you shall release his debt to you.
Deu 15:4 For thus there shall not be a poor person in the midst of you, for the Lord your God will surely bless you in the land which the Lord your God gives you by inheritance, that you should inherit it.
Deu 15:5 And if you shall indeed hearken to the voice of the Lord your God, to keep and do all these commandments, as many as I charge you this day,
Deu 15:6 (for the Lord your God has blessed you in the way of which He spoke to you,) then you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you.
Deu 15:7 And if there shall be in the midst of you a poor man from among your brothers, in one of your cities in the land, which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, neither shall you by any means close up your hand from your brother who is in need.
Deu 15:8 You shall surely open your hands to him, and shall lend to him as much as he wants according to his need.
Deu 15:9 Take heed to yourself that there be not a secret thing in your heart an iniquity, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is approaching. And your eye shall be evil to your brother that is in need, and you shall not give to him, and he shall cry against you to the Lord, and there shall be great sin in you.
Deu 15:10 You shall surely give to him, and you shall lend to him as much as he wants, according as he is in need. And you shall not grudge in your heart as you give to him, because on this account the Lord your God will bless you in all your works, and in all things on which you shall lay your hand.
Deu 15:11 For the poor shall not fail off your land, therefore I charge you to do this thing, saying, You shall surely open your hands to your poor brother, and to him that is distressed upon your land.
Deu 15:12 And if your brother or sister, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, are sold to you, he shall serve you six years, and in the seventh year you shall send him out free from you.
Deu 15:13 And when you shall send him out free from you, you shall not send him out empty.
Deu 15:14 You shall give him provision for the way from your flock, and from your grain, and from your wine; as the Lord your God has blessed you, so you shall give to him.
Deu 15:15 And you shall remember that you also were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you from there; therefore I charge you to do this thing.
Deu 15:16 And if he should say to you, I will not go out from you, because he continues to love you and your house, because he is well with you;
Deu 15:17 then you shall take an awl, and bore his ear through to the door, and he shall be your servant forever; and in like manner shall you do to your male servant.
Deu 15:18 It shall not seem hard to you when they are sent out free from you, because your servant has served you six years according to the annual hire of a hireling; so the Lord your God shall bless you in all things whatsoever you may do.
Deu 15:19 Every firstborn that shall be born among your cows and your sheep, you shall sanctify the males to the Lord your God; you shall not work with your firstborn calf, and you shall not shear the firstborn of your sheep.
Deu 15:20 You shall eat it before the Lord year by year in the place which the Lord your God shall choose, you and your house.
Deu 15:21 And if there be in it a blemish, if it is lame or blind, (an evil blemish) you shall not sacrifice it to the Lord your God.
Deu 15:22 You shall eat it in your cities; the unclean in you and the clean shall eat it in like manner, as the doe or the deer.
Deu 15:23 Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the earth as water.
Deu 16:1 Observe the month of new grain, and you shall sacrifice the Passover to the Lord your God; because in the month of new grain you came out of Egypt by night.
Deu 16:2 And you shall sacrifice the Passover to the Lord your God, sheep and oxen in the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have His name called upon it.
Deu 16:3 You shall not eat leaven with it; seven days shall you eat unleavened bread with it, the bread of affliction, because you came forth out of Egypt in haste; that you may remember the day of your coming forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.
Deu 16:4 Leaven shall not be seen with you in all your borders for seven days, and there shall not be left of the flesh which you shall sacrifice at even on the first day until the morning.
Deu 16:5 You shall not have power to sacrifice the Passover in any of the cities, which the Lord your God gives you.
Deu 16:6 But in the place which the Lord your God shall choose, to have His name called there, you shall sacrifice the Passover at even at the setting of the sun, at the time when you came out of Egypt.
Deu 16:7 And you shall boil and roast and eat it in the place, which the Lord your God shall choose; and you shall return in the morning, and go to your house.
Deu 16:8 Six days shall you eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a holiday, a feast to the Lord your God: you shall not do in it any work, except what must be done by anyone.
Deu 16:9 Seven weeks shall you number to yourself; when you have begun to put the sickle to the grain, you shall begin to number seven weeks.
Deu 16:10 And you shall keep the Feast of Weeks to the Lord your God, accordingly as your hand has power, in as many things as the Lord your God shall give you.
Deu 16:11 And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your son, and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow which dwells among you, in whatsoever place the Lord your God shall choose, that His name should be called there.
Deu 16:12 And you shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and you shall observe and do these commands.
Deu 16:13 You shall keep for yourself the Feast of Tabernacles seven days, when you gather in your produce from your threshing floor and your winepress.
Deu 16:14 And you shall rejoice in your feast, you, and your son, and your daughter, your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow that is in your cities.
Deu 16:15 Seven days shall you keep a feast to the Lord your God in the place which the Lord your God shall choose for Himself; and if the Lord your God shall bless you in all your fruits, and in every work of your hands, then you shall rejoice.
Deu 16:16 Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord your God in the place which the Lord shall choose in the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and in the Feast of Weeks, and in the Feast of Tabernacles: you shall not appear before the Lord your God empty.
Deu 16:17 Each one according to his ability, according to the blessing of the Lord your God, which He has given you.
Deu 16:18 You shall make for yourself judges and officers in your cities, which the Lord your God gives you in your tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment;
Deu 16:19 they shall not pervert judgment, nor favor persons, nor receive a gift; for gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
Deu 16:20 You shall justly pursue justice, that you may live, and go in and inherit the land which the Lord your God gives you.
Deu 16:21 You shall not plant for yourself a grove; you shall not plant for yourself any tree near the altar of your God.
Deu 16:22 You shall not set up for yourself a pillar, which the Lord your God hates.
Deu 17:1 You shall not sacrifice to the Lord your God a calf or a sheep, in which there is a blemish, or any evil thing; for it is an abomination to the Lord your God.
Deu 17:2 And if there should be found in any of your cities which the Lord your God gives you, a man or a woman who shall do that which is evil before the Lord your God, so as to transgress His covenant,
Deu 17:3 and they should go and serve other gods, and worship them, the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which He commanded you not to do,
Deu 17:4 and it be told you, and you shall have inquired diligently, and behold, the thing really took place, this abomination has been done in Israel;
Deu 17:5 then shall you bring out that man, or that woman, and you shall stone them with stones, and they shall die.
Deu 17:6 He shall die on the testimony of two or three witnesses; a man who is put to death shall not be put to death for one witness.
Deu 17:7 And the hand of the witnesses shall be upon him among the first to put him to death, and the hand of the people at the last; so shall you remove the evil one from among yourselves.
Deu 17:8 And if a matter shall be too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, and between cause and cause, and between stroke and stroke, and between contradiction and contradiction, matters of judgment in your cities;
Deu 17:9 then you shall arise and go up to the place which the Lord your God shall choose, and you shall come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge who shall be in those days, and they shall search out the matter and report the judgment to you.
Deu 17:10 And you shall do according to the sentence which they shall report to you out of the place in which the Lord your God shall choose, and you shall observe to do all things having been appointed to you by the law.
Deu 17:11 You shall do according to the law and to the judgment which they shall declare to you: you shall not swerve to the right hand or to the left from any sentence which they shall report to you.
Deu 17:12 And any man that shall act in haughtiness, so as not to hearken to the priest who stands to minister in the name of the Lord your God, or the judge who shall preside in those days, that man shall die, and you shall remove the evil one out of Israel.
Deu 17:13 And all the people shall hear and fear, and shall no more commit impiety.
Deu 17:14 And when you shall enter into the land which the Lord your God gives you, and shall inherit it and dwell in it, and shall say, I will set a ruler over me, as also the other nations round about me;
Deu 17:15 you shall surely set over you the ruler whom the Lord God shall choose: of your brothers you shall set over you a ruler; you shall not have power to set over you a stranger, because he is not your brother.
Deu 17:16 For he shall not multiply to himself horses, and he shall by no means turn the people back to Egypt, lest he should multiply to himself horses; for the Lord said, You shall not return that way again.
Deu 17:17 And he shall not multiply to himself wives, lest his heart turn away; and he shall not greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
Deu 17:18 And when he shall be established in his government, then shall he write for himself this repetition of the law into a book by the hands of the priests the Levites;
Deu 17:19 and it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord your God, and to keep all these commandments, and to observe these ordinances;
Deu 17:20 that his heart be not lifted up above his brothers, that he depart not from the commandments on the right hand or on the left; that he and his sons may reign long in his dominion among the children of Israel.
Deu 18:1 The priests, the Levites, even the whole tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel; the burnt offerings of the Lord are their inheritance, they shall eat them.
Deu 18:2 And they shall have no inheritance among their brothers; the Lord Himself is his portion, as He said to him.
Deu 18:3 And this is the due of the priests in the things coming from the people from those who offer sacrifices, whether it be a calf or a sheep; and you shall give the shoulder to the priest, and the cheeks, and the stomach;
Deu 18:4 and the firstfruits of your grain, and of your wine, and of your oil; and you shall give to him the firstfruits of the fleeces of your sheep:
Deu 18:5 because the Lord has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand before the Lord your God, to minister and bless in His name, himself and his sons among the children of Israel.
Deu 18:6 And if a Levite comes from one of the cities of all the children of Israel, where he himself dwells, accordingly as his mind desires, to the place which he shall have chosen,
Deu 18:7 he shall minister to the name of the Lord his God, as all his brothers the Levites, who stand there before the Lord your God.
Deu 18:8 He shall eat an allotted portion, besides the sale of his hereditary property.
Deu 18:9 And when you shall have entered into the land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations.
Deu 18:10 There shall not be found in you one who purges his son or his daughter with fire, or one who uses divination, or one who deals with omens, or a sorcerer
Deu 18:11 employing an incantation, or one who has in him a divining spirit, or an observer of signs who questions the dead.
Deu 18:12 For everyone that does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God; for because of these abominations the Lord shall destroy them from before your face.
Deu 18:13 You shall be perfect before the Lord your God.
Deu 18:14 For all these nations whose land you shall inherit, they will listen to omens and divinations; but the Lord your God has not permitted you to do so.
Deu 18:15 The Lord your God shall raise up to you a Prophet from among your brethren, like me; Him shall you hear,
Deu 18:16 according to all the things which you desired from the Lord your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, We will not again hear the voice of the Lord your God, and we will not anymore see this great fire, lest we die.
Deu 18:17 And the Lord said to me, They have spoken rightly, all that they have said to you.
Deu 18:18 I will raise up to them a Prophet from among their brethren, like you; and I will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them as I shall command Him.
Deu 18:19 And whoever shall not hearken to all the words that the Prophet shall speak in My name, I will take vengeance on him.
Deu 18:20 But whichever prophet that shall impiously speak in My name a word which I have not commanded him to speak, and whosoever shall speak in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.
Deu 18:21 But if you shall say in your heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?
Deu 18:22 Whatever words that prophet shall speak in the name of the Lord, and they shall not come true, and not come to pass, this is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; that prophet has spoken wickedly: you shall not spare him.
Deu 19:1 And when the Lord your God shall have destroyed the nations, which God gives you, even the land, and you shall inherit them, and dwell in their cities, and in their houses,
Deu 19:2 you shall separate for yourself three cities in the midst of your land, which the Lord your God gives you.
Deu 19:3 Take a survey of your way, and you shall divide the coasts of your land, which the Lord your God apportions to you, into three parts, and there shall be there a refuge for every manslayer.
Deu 19:4 And this shall be the ordinance of the manslayer who shall flee there, and shall live, whosoever has killed his neighbor ignorantly, seeing that he did not hate him in times past.
Deu 19:5 And whoever shall enter with his neighbor into the thicket, to gather wood, if the hand of him that cuts wood with the ax should be violently shaken, and the axhead should fall off from the handle and strike his neighbor, and he should die, then he shall flee to one of these cities, and live.
Deu 19:6 Lest the avenger of blood pursue after the manslayer, because his heart is hot, and overtake him, if the way be too long, and kill him, though there is to this man no sentence of death, because he did not hate him in times past.
Deu 19:7 Therefore I command you, saying, You shall separate for yourself three cities.
Deu 19:8 And if the Lord shall enlarge your borders, as He swore to your fathers, and the Lord shall give to you all the land which He said he would give to your fathers;
Deu 19:9 if you shall hearken to do all these commands which I charge you this day, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways continually, you shall add for yourself yet three cities to these three.
Deu 19:10 So innocent blood shall not be spilled in the land which the Lord your God gives you to inherit, and there shall not be in you one guilty of blood.
Deu 19:11 But if there should be in you a man hating his neighbor, and he should lay wait for him, and rise up against him, and strike him, that he die, and he should flee to one of these cities,
Deu 19:12 then shall the elders of his city send, and take him from there, and they shall deliver him into the hands of the avengers of blood, and he shall die.
Deu 19:13 Your eye shall not spare him; so shall you purge innocent blood from Israel, and it shall be well with you.
Deu 19:14 You shall not move the landmarks of your neighbor, which your fathers set in the inheritance, in which you have obtained a share in the land, which the Lord your God gives you to inherit.
Deu 19:15 One witness shall not stand to testify against a man for any iniquity, or for any fault, or for any sin which he may commit; by the mouth of two witnesses, or by the mouth of three witnesses, shall every word be established.
Deu 19:16 And if an unjust witness rise up against a man, alleging iniquity against him,
Deu 19:17 then shall the two men between whom the controversy is, stand before the Lord, and before the priests, and before the judges, who may be in those days.
Deu 19:18 And the judges shall make diligent inquiry; and behold, if an unjust witness has borne unjust testimony, and has stood up against his brother,
Deu 19:19 then shall you do to him as he wickedly devised to do against his brother, and you shall remove the evil from yourselves.
Deu 19:20 And the rest shall hear and fear, and do no more according to this evil thing in the midst of you.
Deu 19:21 Your eye shall not spare him; you shall exact life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, and foot for foot.
Deu 20:1 And if you should go forth to war against your enemies, and should see a horse and rider, and a people more numerous than yourself; you shall not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
Deu 20:2 And it shall come to pass whenever you shall draw near to battle, that the priest shall draw near and speak to the people, and shall say to them,
Deu 20:3 Hear, O Israel; you are going this day to battle against your enemies: let not your heart faint; fear not, neither be confounded, neither turn aside from their face.
Deu 20:4 For it is the Lord your God who advances with you, to fight with you against your enemies, and to save you.
Deu 20:5 And the scribes shall speak to the people, saying, What man is there that has built a new house, and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the war, and another man dedicate it.
Deu 20:6 And what man is there that has planted a vineyard, and not been made merry with it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man be made merry with it.
Deu 20:7 And what man is there that has betrothed a wife, and has not taken her? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.
Deu 20:8 And the scribes shall speak further to the people, and say, What man is there that fears, and is cowardly in his heart? Let him go and return to his house, lest he make the heart of his brother fail, as his own.
Deu 20:9 And it shall come to pass when the scribes shall have ceased speaking to the people, that they shall appoint generals of the army to be leaders of the people.
Deu 20:10 And if you shall draw near to a city to overcome them by war, then call them out peaceably.
Deu 20:11 If then they should answer peaceably to you, and open to you, it shall be that all the people found in it shall be tributary and subject to you.
Deu 20:12 But if they will not hearken to you, but wage war against you, you shall besiege it;
Deu 20:13 until the Lord your God shall deliver it into your hands, and you shall strike every male in it with the edge of the sword;
Deu 20:14 except the women and the stuff; and all the livestock, and whatsoever shall be in the city, and all the plunder you shall take as spoil for yourself, and shall eat all the plunder of your enemies whom the Lord your God gives you.
Deu 20:15 Thus shall you do to all the cities that are very far off from you, not being of the cities of these nations which the Lord your God gives you to inherit their land.
Deu 20:16 Of these you shall not take anything alive;
Deu 20:17 but you shall surely curse them, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, the Jebusite, and the Girgashite; as the Lord your God commanded you:
Deu 20:18 that they may not teach you to do all their abominations, which they did to their gods, and so you should sin before the Lord your God.
Deu 20:19 And if you should besiege a city many days to prevail against it by war to take it, you shall not destroy its trees, by applying an iron tool to them, but you shall eat of it, and shall not cut it down. Is the tree that is in the field a man, to enter before you into the work of the siege?
Deu 20:20 But the tree which you know to be not fruit-bearing, this you shall destroy and cut down; and you shall construct a mound against the city, which makes war against you, until it is delivered up.
Deu 21:1 And if one should be found slain with the sword in the land, which the Lord your God gives you to inherit, having fallen in the field, and they do not know who has killed him,
Deu 21:2 then your elders and your judges shall come forth, and shall measure the distances of the cities round about the slain man.
Deu 21:3 And it shall be that the city which is nearest to the slain man, the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, which has not labored, and which has not borne a yoke.
Deu 21:4 And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer into a rough valley, which has not been tilled and is not sown, and they shall slay the heifer in the valley.
Deu 21:5 And the priests, the Levites, shall come near, because the Lord God has chosen them to stand by Him, and to bless in His name, and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be decided.
Deu 21:6 And all the elders of that city who draw near to the slain man shall wash their hands over the head of the heifer which was slain in the valley;
Deu 21:7 and they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, and our eyes have not seen it.
Deu 21:8 Be merciful to Your people Israel, O Lord, whom You have redeemed, that innocent blood may not be charged on Your people Israel; and atonement shall be provided on their behalf for the blood.
Deu 21:9 And you shall take away innocent blood from among you, if you should do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord your God.
Deu 21:10 And if when you go out to war against your enemies, the Lord your God should deliver them into your hands, and you should take their spoil,
Deu 21:11 and should see among the spoil a woman beautiful in countenance, and should desire her, and take her to yourself for a wife,
Deu 21:12 and should bring her within your house; then shall you shave her head, and trim her nails,
Deu 21:13 and shall take away her garments of captivity from off her, and she shall abide in your house, and shall mourn her father and mother for a full month; and afterwards you shall go in to her and dwell with her, and she shall be your wife.
Deu 21:14 And it shall be if you do not delight in her, you shall send her out free; and she shall not by any means be sold for money, you shall not treat her contemptuously, because you have humbled her.
Deu 21:15 And if a man has two wives, the one loved and the other hated, and both the loved and the hated should have born him children, and the son of the hated should be firstborn;
Deu 21:16 then it shall be that whenever he shall divide by inheritance his goods to his sons, he shall not be able to give the right of the firstborn to the son of the loved one, having overlooked the son of the hated, which is the firstborn.
Deu 21:17 But he shall acknowledge the firstborn of the hated one, to give to him double of all things which shall be found by him, because he is the first of his children, and to him belongs the birthright.
Deu 21:18 And if any man has a disobedient and contentious son, who hearkens not to the voice of his father and the voice of his mother, and they should correct him, and he should not hearken to them;
Deu 21:19 then shall his father and his mother take hold of him, and bring him forth to the elders of his city, and to the gate of the place;
Deu 21:20 and they shall say to the men of their city, This our son is disobedient and contentious, he hearkens not to our voice, he is a reveler and a drunkard.
Deu 21:21 And the men of his city shall stone him with stones, and he shall die; and you shall remove the evil one from yourselves, and the rest shall hear and fear.
Deu 21:22 And if there be sin in anyone, and the judgment of death be upon him, and he be put to death, and you hang him on a tree;
Deu 21:23 his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but you shall by all means bury it in that day; for everyone that is hanged on a tree is cursed of God; and you shall by no means defile the land which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance.
Deu 22:1 When you see the calf of your brother or his sheep wandering in the way, you shall not overlook them; you shall by all means turn them back to your brother, and you shall restore them to him.
Deu 22:2 And if your brother is not near you, or if you do not know him, you shall bring it into your own house; and it shall be with you until your brother shall seek them, and you shall restore them to him.
Deu 22:3 Thus shall you do to his donkey, and thus shall you do to his garment, and thus shall you do to everything that your brother has lost; whatsoever things have been lost by him, and you have found, you shall not have power to overlook.
Deu 22:4 You shall not see the donkey of your brother, or his calf, fallen in the way; you shall not overlook them, you shall surely help him to raise them up.
Deu 22:5 The clothing of a man shall not be on a woman, neither shall a man put on a woman's dress; for everyone that does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.
Deu 22:6 And if you should come upon a brood of birds before your face in the way or upon any tree, or upon the earth, young or eggs, and the mother is brooding on the young or the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young ones.
Deu 22:7 You shall by all means let the mother go, but you shall take the young to yourself; that it may be well with you, and that you may live long.
Deu 22:8 If you should build a new house, then shall you make a parapet to your house; so you shall not bring blood-guiltiness upon your house, if one should in any way fall from it.
Deu 22:9 You shall not sow your vineyard with different kinds of seed, lest the fruit be defiled, and whatsoever seed you may sow, with the fruit of your vineyard.
Deu 22:10 You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.
Deu 22:11 You shall not wear a mingled garment, woolen and linen together.
Deu 22:12 You shall make fringes on the four borders of your garments, with whatever you may be clothed with.
Deu 22:13 And if anyone should take a wife, and dwell with her, and hate her,
Deu 22:14 and attach to her reproachful words, and bring against her an evil name, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her I found not her tokens of virginity;
Deu 22:15 then the father and the mother of the young woman shall take and bring out the young woman's tokens of virginity to the elders of the city to the gate.
Deu 22:16 And the father of the young woman shall say to the elders, I gave this my daughter to this man for a wife;
Deu 22:17 and now he has hated her, and attaches reproachful words to her, saying, I have not found tokens of virginity with your daughter; and these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall unfold the garment before the elders of the city.
Deu 22:18 And the elders of that city shall take that man, and shall chastise him,
Deu 22:19 and shall fine him a hundred shekels, and shall give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought forth an evil name against a virgin of Israel; and she shall be his wife: he shall never be able to put her away.
Deu 22:20 But if this report be true, and the tokens of virginity are not found for the young woman;
Deu 22:21 then shall they bring out the young woman to the doors of her father's house, and shall stone her with stones, and she shall die; because she has wrought folly among the children of Israel, to defile the house of her father by harlotry: so you shall remove the evil one from among you.
Deu 22:22 And if a man be found lying with a woman married to a man, you shall kill them both, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman; so shall you remove the wicked one out of Israel.
Deu 22:23 And if there be a young woman espoused to a man, and a man should have found her in the city and have lain with her;
Deu 22:24 you shall bring them both out to the gate of their city, and they shall be stoned with stones, and they shall die; the young woman, because she cried not in the city; and the man, because he humbled his neighbor's spouse: so shall you remove the evil one from yourselves.
Deu 22:25 But if a man find in the field a young woman that is betrothed, and he should force her and lie with her, you shall slay the man that lay with her only.
Deu 22:26 And the young woman has not committed a sin worthy of death; as if a man should rise up against his neighbor, and slay him, so is this thing;
Deu 22:27 because he found her in the field; the betrothed young woman cried, and there was none to help her.
Deu 22:28 And if anyone should find a young virgin who has not been betrothed, and should force her and lie with her, and be found,
Deu 22:29 the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the damsel fifty silver shekels, and she shall be his wife, because he has humbled her; he shall never be able to put her away.
Deu 22:30 A man shall not take his father's wife, and shall not uncover his father's bed.
Deu 23:1 He that is fractured or mutilated in his private parts shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord.
Deu 23:2 One born of a harlot shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord.
Deu 23:3 The Ammonite and Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord, even until the tenth generation he shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord, even forever;
Deu 23:4 because they met you not with bread and water by the way, when you went out of Egypt; and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor of Mesopotamia to curse you.
Deu 23:5 But the Lord your God would not hearken to Balaam; and the Lord your God changed the curses into blessings, because the Lord your God loved you.
Deu 23:6 You shall not speak peaceably or profitably to them all your days forever.
Deu 23:7 You shall not abhor an Edomite, because he is your brother; you shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you were a stranger in his land.
Deu 23:8 If sons be born to them, in the third generation they shall enter into the assembly of the Lord.
Deu 23:9 And if you should go forth to engage with your enemies, then you shall keep yourself from every wicked thing.
Deu 23:10 If there should be in you a man who is not clean by reason of his issue by night, then he shall go forth out of the camp, and he shall not enter into the camp.
Deu 23:11 And it shall come to pass toward evening he shall wash his body with water, and when the sun has gone down, he shall go into the camp.
Deu 23:12 And you shall have a place outside of the camp, and you shall go out there,
Deu 23:13 and you shall have a trowel on your girdle; and it shall come to pass when you would relieve yourself abroad, that you shall dig with it, and shall bring back the earth and cover your nuisance.
Deu 23:14 Because the Lord your God walks in your camp to deliver you, and to give up your enemy from before your face; and your camp shall be holy, and there shall not appear in you a disgraceful thing, so that He should turn away from you.
Deu 23:15 You shall not deliver a servant to his master, who coming from his master attaches himself to you.
Deu 23:16 He shall dwell with you, he shall dwell among you where he shall please; you shall not afflict him.
Deu 23:17 There shall not be a harlot of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be a fornicator of the sons of Israel; there shall not be an idolatress of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be an initiated person of the sons of Israel.
Deu 23:18 You shall not bring the hire of a harlot, nor the price of a dog into the house of the Lord your God, for any vow, because even both are an abomination to the Lord your God.
Deu 23:19 You shall not lend to your brother on usury of silver, or usury of meat, or usury of anything which you may lend out.
Deu 23:20 You may lend on usury to a stranger, but to your brother you shall not lend on usury; that the Lord your God may bless you in all your works upon the land, into which you are entering to inherit it.
Deu 23:21 And if you will vow a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not delay to pay it; for the Lord your God will surely require it of you, and otherwise it shall be sin to you.
Deu 23:22 But if you should be unwilling to vow, it is not sin to you.
Deu 23:23 You shall observe the words that proceed from between your lips; and as you have vowed a gift to the Lord God, so shall you do that which you have spoken with your mouth.
Deu 23:24 And if you should go into the vineyard of your neighbor, you shall eat grapes sufficient to satisfy your desire; but you may not put them into a vessel.
Deu 23:25 And if you should go into the grainfield of your neighbor, then you may gather the heads with your hands; but you shall not put the sickle to your neighbor's grain.
Deu 24:1 And if anyone should take a wife, and should dwell with her, then it shall come to pass if she should not have found favor before him, because he has found some unbecoming thing in her, that he shall write for her a certificate of divorce, and give it into her hands, and he shall send her away out of his house.
Deu 24:2 And if she should go away and be married to another man;
Deu 24:3 and the last husband should hate her, and write for her a certificate of divorce, and should give it into her hands, and send her away out of his house, and the last husband should die, who took her to himself for a wife;
Deu 24:4 the former husband who sent her away shall not be able to return and take her to himself for a wife, after she has been defiled; because it is an abomination before the Lord your God, and you shall not defile the land which the Lord your God gives you to inherit.
Deu 24:5 And if anyone should have recently taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall anything be laid upon him; he shall be free in his house; for one year he shall cheer his wife whom he has taken.
Deu 24:6 You shall not take for a pledge the lower millstone, nor the upper millstone; for he who does so takes one's living for a pledge.
Deu 24:7 And if a man should be caught stealing one of his brethren of the children of Israel, and having overcome him he should sell him, that thief shall die; so shall you remove that evil one from yourselves.
Deu 24:8 Take heed to yourself regarding the plague of leprosy: you shall take great heed to do according to all the law, which the priests, the Levites, shall report to you; take heed to do, as I have commanded you.
Deu 24:9 Remember all that the Lord your God did to Miriam in the way, when you were going out of Egypt.
Deu 24:10 If your neighbor owes you a debt, any debt whatsoever, you shall not go into his house to take his pledge:
Deu 24:11 you shall stand outside, and the man who is in your debt shall bring the pledge out to you.
Deu 24:12 And if the man is poor, you shall not keep his pledge overnight.
Deu 24:13 You shall surely restore his pledge at sunset, and he shall sleep in his own garment, and he shall bless you; and it shall be mercy to you before the Lord your God.
Deu 24:14 You shall not unjustly withhold the wages of the poor and needy of your brothers, or of the strangers who are in your cities.
Deu 24:15 You shall pay him his wages the same day, the sun shall not go down upon it, because he is poor and he trusts in it; and he shall cry against you to the Lord, and it shall be sin to you.
Deu 24:16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, and the sons shall not be put to death for the fathers; everyone shall be put to death for his own sin.
Deu 24:17 You shall not pervert the judgment of the stranger and the fatherless, and the widow; you shall not take the widow's garment for a pledge.
Deu 24:18 And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you from there; therefore I command you to do this thing.
Deu 24:19 And when you have reaped the grain in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in your field, you shall not return to take it; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works of your hands.
Deu 24:20 And if you should gather your olives, you shall not return to collect the remainder; it shall be for the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, and you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you to do this thing.
Deu 24:21 And whenever you shall gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean what you have left; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow;
Deu 24:22 and you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you to do this thing.
Deu 25:1 And if there should be a dispute between men, and they should come forward to judgment, and the judges judge, and justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked;
Deu 25:2 then it shall come to pass, if the unrighteous should be worthy of stripes, you shall lay him down before the judges, and they shall scourge him before them according to his iniquity.
Deu 25:3 And they shall scourge him with forty stripes in number, they shall not inflict more; for if you should scourge him with more stripes beyond these stripes, your brother will be disgraced before you.
Deu 25:4 You shall not muzzle the ox that treads out the grain.
Deu 25:5 And if brothers should live together, and one of them should die, and should not have seed, the wife of the deceased shall not marry out of the family to a man not related: her husband's brother shall go in to her, and shall take her to himself for a wife, and shall dwell with her.
Deu 25:6 And it shall come to pass that the child which she shall bear, shall be named by the name of the deceased, and his name shall not be blotted out of Israel.
Deu 25:7 And if the man should not be willing to take his brother's wife, then shall the woman go up to the gate to the elders, and she shall say, My husband's brother will not raise up the name of his brother in Israel, my husband's brother has refused.
Deu 25:8 And the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him; and if he stand and say, I will not take her,
Deu 25:9 then his brother's wife shall come forward before the elders, and shall loose one shoe from off his foot, and shall spit in his face, and shall answer and say, Thus shall they do to the man who will not build his brother's house in Israel.
Deu 25:10 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that has had his shoe loosed.
Deu 25:11 And if men should fight together, a man with his brother, and the wife of one of them should advance to rescue her husband out of the hand of him that strikes him, and she should stretch forth her hand, and take hold of his private parts;
Deu 25:12 you shall cut off her hand; your eye shall not spare her.
Deu 25:13 You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a heavy and a light.
Deu 25:14 You shall not have in your house differing measures, a large and a small.
Deu 25:15 You shall have a true and just weight, and a true and just measure, that you may live long upon the land which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance.
Deu 25:16 For everyone that does this is an abomination to the Lord your God, even everyone that does injustice.
Deu 25:17 Remember what things Amalek did to you by the way, when you went forth out of the land of Egypt,
Deu 25:18 how he withstood you in the way, and harassed your rear, even those that were weary behind you, and you hungered and were weary; and he did not fear God.
Deu 25:19 And it shall come to pass whenever the Lord your God shall have given you rest from all your enemies round about you, in the land which the Lord your God gives you to inherit, you shall blot out the name of Amalek from under heaven, and shall not forget to do it.
Deu 26:1 And it shall be, when you have entered into the land which the Lord your God gives you to inherit, and you have inherited it, and you have dwelt upon it,
Deu 26:2 that you shall take of the first of the fruits of your land, which the Lord your God gives you, and you shall put them into a basket, and you shall go to the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have His name called there.
Deu 26:3 And you shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and you shall say to him, I testify this day to the Lord my God, that I have come into the land which the Lord swore to our fathers to give to us.
Deu 26:4 And the priest shall take the basket out of your hands, and shall set it before the altar of the Lord your God;
Deu 26:5 and he shall answer and say before the Lord your God, My father abandoned Syria, and went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a small number, and became there a mighty nation and a great multitude.
Deu 26:6 And the Egyptians afflicted us, and humbled us, and imposed hard tasks on us,
Deu 26:7 and we cried to the Lord our God, and the Lord heard our voice, and saw our humiliation, and our labor, and our affliction.
Deu 26:8 And the Lord brought us out of Egypt Himself with His great strength, and His mighty hand, and His outstretched arm, and with great visions, and with signs, and with wonders.
Deu 26:9 And He brought us into this place, and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Deu 26:10 And now behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which you gave me, O Lord, a land flowing with milk and honey; and you shall leave it before the Lord your God, and you shall worship before the Lord your God;
Deu 26:11 and you shall rejoice in all the good things which the Lord your God has given you, you and your family, and the Levite, and the stranger that is within you.
Deu 26:12 And when you have completed all the tithing of your fruits in the third year, you shall give the second tenth to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow; and they shall eat it in your cities, and be merry.
Deu 26:13 And you shall say before the Lord your God, I have fully collected the holy things out of my house, and I have given them to the Levite, the stranger, the orphan, and the widow, according to all commands which You have commanded me: I did not transgress Your command, and I did not forget it.
Deu 26:14 And in my distress I did not eat of them, I have not gathered of them for an unclean purpose, I have not given of them to the dead; I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God, I have done as You have commanded me.
Deu 26:15 Look down from Your holy house, from heaven, and bless Your people Israel, and the land which You have given them, as You swore to our fathers, to give to us a land flowing with milk and honey.
Deu 26:16 On this day the Lord your God charged you to keep all the statutes and judgments; and you shall observe and do them, with all your heart, and with all your soul.
Deu 26:17 You have chosen God this day to be your God, and to walk in all His ways, and to observe His statutes and judgments, and to hearken to His voice.
Deu 26:18 And the Lord has chosen you this day, that you should be to Him a peculiar people, as He said, to keep His commands;
Deu 26:19 and that you should be above all nations, as He has made you renowned, and a boast, and glorious, that you should be a holy people to the Lord your God, as He has spoken.
Deu 27:1 And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded, saying, Keep all these commands, all that command you th
