Young's Literal Translation
These are the statutes and ordinances
you
must
be
careful
to
follow
all
the days
you
live
in the land that
the
LORD
, the
God of your
fathers, has
given you
to possess .
`
These `
are '
the statutes and the judgments
which
ye
observe
to
do
in the land which
Jehovah
, God of thy
fathers, hath
given to thee
to
possess it,
all
the
days
that
ye
are
living
on
the
ground:
Destroy completely
all the places where the nations you
are dispossessing have
served their gods —atop
the high mountains, on the hills
, and under every green tree .
ye
do
utterly
destroy all the places where the nations which
ye
are dispossessing served their gods ,
on
the high mountains, and
on the heights
, and under every green tree ;
Tear
down their altars, smash
their sacred
pillars, burn
up
their Asherah
poles
, cut
down
the
idols
of their gods, and wipe
out
their names
from
every
place.
and
ye
have
broken
down their altars, and
shivered
their standing
pillars, and
their shrines
ye
burn
with
fire
, and
graven
images
of their gods ye
cut
down
, and have
destroyed
their name
out
of
that
place.
You
shall
not worship
the
LORD
your God in
this
way.
`Ye
do
not do
so
to
Jehovah
your God ;
Instead,
you
must
seek
the place the
LORD
your God will
choose from
among
all your tribes to establish
as
a
dwelling
for
His Name, and there
you
must
go.
but
unto
the place which
Jehovah
your God doth
choose out
of
all your tribes to put
His name there
, to
His
tabernacle
ye
seek,
and thou
hast
entered
thither,
To
that
place
you
are
to
bring
your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and heave offerings
, your vow
offerings
and freewill
offerings, as
well
as
the firstborn
of your herds
and flocks.
and
hast
brought
in
thither
your burnt -
offerings ,
and your
sacrifices, and
your tithes ,
and the
heave -offering
of
your
hand
, and
your vows,
and your
free-will
offerings, and
the firstlings
of your herd
and of
your
flock;
There, in the
presence
of the
LORD
your God
, you
and your households shall
eat
and
rejoice
in
all
you
do
, because
the
LORD
your
God has
blessed you
.
and
ye
have
eaten
there before
Jehovah
your
God
, and
have
rejoiced
in every
putting
forth
of your hand
, ye
and your households, with
which
Jehovah
thy
God hath
blessed thee
.
You
are
not to
do as
we are doing here today
, where
everyone
does
what
seems
right in his own eyes .
`Ye
do
not do according
to
all
that
we are doing here to-day
, each
anything
that
is
right in his own eyes ,
For you
have not yet
come to
the resting
place
and the inheritance that
the
LORD
your
God is giving you.
for ye
have not come in
hitherto
unto
the rest,
and unto
the inheritance ,
which
Jehovah
thy
God is giving to
thee;
When
you
cross
the Jordan and live
in the land that
the
LORD
your God is giving
you as
an
inheritance
, and He gives
you
rest from all the
enemies around
you
and
you
dwell
securely
,
and
ye
have
passed
over
the Jordan ,
and have
dwelt
in the land which
Jehovah
your God is causing
you to
inherit
, and He hath
given
rest to
you
from all your
enemies round
about
, and
ye
have
dwelt
confidently:
then
the LORD
your God will
choose
a
dwelling
for
His Name .
And
there
you
are
to bring everything
I command
you :
your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special
gifts
, and all the choice offerings
you
vow to the
LORD.
`And
it
hath
been,
the place
on
which
Jehovah
your God doth
fix
to
cause
His name to tabernacle
there,
thither
ye
bring in
all
that
which
I am
commanding
you ,
your burnt -
offerings ,
and your
sacrifices, your tithes ,
and the
heave-offering
of
your
hand
, and all the choice of
your
vows
which
ye
vow to Jehovah;
And you
shall
rejoice
before the
LORD
your God —you
, your sons and daughters, your menservants
and maidservants
, and the Levite within your gates, since
he has
no portion
or
inheritance among
you.
and ye
have
rejoiced
before Jehovah
your God, ye,
and
your sons ,
and your
daughters, and
your men-servants,
and your
handmaids
, and the Levite who
`is'
within your gates, for
he hath
no part
and
inheritance with
you.
Be
careful
not
to offer
your
burnt offerings in just
any place you
see;
`Take
heed
to thee,
lest
thou
cause
thy
burnt -
offerings to
ascend
in any place which
thou
seest,
you
must
offer
them
only
in the place the
LORD
will
choose in one of your
tribal
territories
, and there you
shall
do all that I command
you
.
except
in the place which
Jehovah
doth
choose in one of thy
tribes
, there
thou
dost
cause
thy
burnt-offerings
to
ascend,
and there thou
dost
do all that which
I am
commanding
thee
.
But
whenever
you
want
, you
may
slaughter
and
eat
meat
within
any
of your
gates
, according to the blessing the
LORD
your
God has
given you.
Both
the ceremonially
clean
and
unclean may
eat it as they
would
a
gazelle
or
deer
,
`Only
, with
all
the
desire
of thy
soul
thou
dost
sacrifice
, and
hast
eaten
flesh
according to the blessing of
Jehovah
thy
God which
He
hath
given to
thee,
in
all
thy
gates;
the unclean and
the
clean
do
eat it ,
as of
the
roe
, and
as
of
the
hart.
but
you
must
not eat the blood;
pour it on
the
ground
like
water .
`Only,
the
blood
ye
do
not eat --
on
the earth
thou
dost
pour it as
water ;
Within
your
gates
you
must
not eat the tithe of your
grain
or
new wine or
oil, the firstborn
of your
herds
or
flocks
, any of the
offerings
that
you
have
vowed
to
give
, or
your
freewill
offerings or
special
gifts.
thou
art
not able
to
eat within
thy
gates
the tithe of thy
corn,
and
of
thy
new wine ,
and
thine
oil, and
the firstlings
of thy
herd
and
of
thy
flock
, and
any of thy
vows
which
thou
vowest
, and
thy
free-will
offerings ,
and
heave-offering
of
thy
hand;
Instead,
you
must
eat them
in the presence
of
the
LORD
your
God
at
the
place the
LORD
your
God will
choose—you
, your
sons
and daughters
, your
menservants
and maidservants
, and the Levite within your
gates .
Rejoice
before the
LORD
your
God in all
you
do,
but
before
Jehovah
thy
God
thou
dost
eat it,
in the place which
Jehovah
thy
God doth
fix
on
, thou,
and thy
son
, and thy
daughter
, and thy
man-servant,
and
thy
handmaid,
and
the Levite who
`is'
within thy
gates ,
and
thou
hast
rejoiced
before Jehovah
thy
God in every
putting
forth
of
thy
hand;
and
be
careful
not
to neglect
the Levites
as
long
as
you
live
in
your
land
.
take
heed
to thee
lest
thou
forsake
the Levite
all
thy
days
on
thy
ground
.
When the
LORD
your
God expands
your
territory
as He has
promised
, and you
crave
meat
and
say
, “I
want
to eat meat,”
you
may
eat it
whenever
you
want
.
`
When Jehovah
thy
God doth
enlarge
thy
border,
as He hath
spoken
to
thee
, and thou
hast
said
, Let
me
eat
flesh
--
for
thy
soul
desireth
to eat flesh
--
of
all
the
desire
of
thy
soul
thou
dost
eat flesh
.
If
the place where
the
LORD
your
God chooses
to put His Name is
too
far
from
you
, then you
may
slaughter
any
of the
herd or
flock He
has
given you
, as I have commanded you
, and you
may
eat
it
within your
gates whenever
you
want.
`When
the place is
far
from
thee
which
Jehovah
thy
God doth
choose
to put His name there
, then thou
hast
sacrificed
of thy
herd and
of
thy
flock which
Jehovah
hath
given to
thee
, as I have commanded thee
, and hast
eaten
within thy
gates ,
of
all
the
desire
of
thy
soul;
Indeed
, you
may
eat
it
as you
would
eat a
gazelle
or
deer
; both
the ceremonially
unclean and the clean may
eat it.
only
, as the
roe
and
the
hart
is
eaten,
so
dost
thou
eat it
; the unclean and the clean doth
alike
eat it.
Only be sure not to eat the blood, because
the blood is the life, and you
must
not eat the life with the meat.
`
Only ,
be sure not to eat the blood, for
the blood `
is '
the life, and thou
dost
not eat the life with the flesh;
You
must
not eat the
blood;
pour
it on the ground
like
water .
thou
dost
not eat it ,
on the earth
thou
dost
pour
it
as
water ;
Do
not eat it, so
that it may go
well with you
and your
children
after you
, because
you
will
be
doing
what
is right in the eyes of the
LORD
.
thou
dost
not eat it, in
order
that it may be
well with thee,
and with
thy
sons
after thee
, when
thou
dost
that
which
`
is '
right in the eyes of Jehovah
.
But
you
are
to
take
your
holy things and your
vow
offerings
and go
to
the place the
LORD
will
choose .
`Only,
thy
holy things which
thou
hast,
and thy
vows,
thou
dost
take
up,
and hast
gone
in
unto
the place which
Jehovah
doth
choose ,
Present
the
meat
and blood
of
your
burnt offerings on the altar of the
LORD
your
God .
The blood of your
other
sacrifices must
be
poured out beside
the altar of the
LORD
your
God, but
you
may
eat
the meat
.
and thou
hast
made
thy
burnt -
offerings --
the
flesh
and
the
blood
--
on the altar of Jehovah
thy
God ;
and
the blood of thy
sacrifices is
poured out by
the altar of Jehovah
thy
God, and
the flesh
thou
dost
eat
.
Be
careful
to
obey
all these things
I command
you
, so
that it may always
go
well with you
and your
children
after you
, because
you
will
be
doing
what
is good and right in the eyes of the
LORD
your
God.
Observe,
and
thou
hast
obeyed
all these words
which
I am
commanding
thee
, in
order
that it may be
well with thee
and with
thy
sons
after thee
--
to
the
age
, when
thou
dost
that
which
`
is '
good and right in the eyes of Jehovah
thy
God.
When the
LORD
your
God cuts
off before
you
the nations you
are
entering
to dispossess
, and you
drive
them out
and live
in their land ,
`
When Jehovah
thy
God doth
cut
off the nations --
whither
thou
art
going
in
to possess
them
--
from
thy
presence
, and thou
hast
possessed
them ,
and hast
dwelt
in their land --
be
careful
not
to be ensnared
by
their
ways
after they
have
been
destroyed before
you.
Do
not
inquire
about their gods, asking
, “
How do these nations serve their gods ?
I will
do likewise.”
take
heed
to thee,
lest
thou
be snared
after them,
after
their
being
destroyed out
of
thy
presence,
and
lest
thou
enquire
about their gods, saying
, How do these nations serve their gods ,
and
I do so
--
even
I?
You
must
not worship
the
LORD
your
God in
this
way,
because
they
practice
for their
gods
every abomination which the
LORD
hates.
They even burn
their sons and daughters in
the
fire as
sacrifices
to their gods.
`Thou
dost
not do
so
to
Jehovah
thy
God ;
for every abomination of
Jehovah
which He
is
hating
they have
done
to
their
gods,
for
even their sons and their
daughters they
burn
with
fire to their gods.
See
that
you
do
everything
I command
you ;
do not add to
it or
subtract
from it.
The
whole
thing
which
I am
commanding
you --
it
ye
observe
to
do ;
thou
dost
not add unto
it ,
nor
diminish
from it.
