LORD
, the God of your fathers, is
giving
you.
Now, Israel, listen
to
the statutes and to
the
ordinances ,
which
I teach
you, to
do
them;
that you may live ,
and go
in
and possess
the land which
Yahweh
, the God of your fathers, gives
you.
You must
not add to or
subtract
from
what
I command you, so
that you may keep the commandments of the
LORD
your God that
I am
giving
you.
You shall
not add to the
word
which
I command you, neither

you

all
who
followed
Baal
of Peor
.

did because
of
Baal Peor ;
for all
the men
who
followed

Peor,
Yahweh

, I have taught you statutes and ordinances ,
even
as Yahweh
my God commanded me, that you should

so
in the midst
of
the
land where

your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the peoples, who will
hear of
all these statutes and say, “
Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. ”
Keep
therefore
and
do
them ;
for this is
your wisdom and your
understanding in the sight of the peoples, who shall
hear all these statutes ,

enough
to
have
a god as
near to them as the
LORD
our God is to
us
whenever we call on Him?
For what great
nation is there,
that
has
a god so

law I set before you today
?

Only be
on
your
guard
and diligently watch
yourselves
, so
that
you do
not
forget the things your eyes have
seen
, and so
that
they do
not
slip
from your heart as
long
as
you
live.
Teach
them to your children and grandchildren.
Only take
heed
to
yourself,
and keep
your
soul
diligently, lest
you forget the things which
your eyes saw
, and lest
they depart
from your heart all
the
days
of
your
life;
but
make
them known
to your children and your
children's
children;
The day you stood before the
LORD
your God at
Horeb, the
LORD
said to me, “Gather
the people before
Me
to
hear My words, so
that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach them
to
their children. ”
the day that
you stood before Yahweh
your God in
Horeb, when
Yahweh
said to me, Assemble
me
the people ,
and
I
will
make
them
hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that
they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.
You came near and stood at
the
base
of
the mountain ,
a
mountain blazing
with fire to the heavens
, with black
clouds
and deep
darkness.
You came near and stood under
the mountain ;
and
the
mountain burned
with fire to the heart
of
the
sky
, with darkness,
cloud,
and thick
darkness.
And
the
LORD
spoke to you out of the fire .
You heard the sound
of the
words, but saw no form; there
was
only a voice.
Yahweh
spoke to you out of the midst
of
the
fire :
you heard the voice
of words, but you
saw no form; only [you
heard]
a voice.
He declared to you His covenant, which He commanded you to follow—
the Ten Commandments that
He wrote on two tablets
of stone.
He declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform,
even
the ten commandments ;
and
he wrote them
on two tables
of stone.
At that time the
LORD
commanded
me
to teach you the
statutes and ordinances you are
to
follow
in the land that
you are
crossing
the
Jordan
to possess.
Yahweh
commanded
me
at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances ,
that
you might
do
them
in the land where
you go
over
to possess it
.
So
since
you saw no form
of any
kind
on the day the
LORD
spoke to you out of the fire at
Horeb,
be
careful
Take
therefore
good
heed
to
yourselves;
for
you saw no manner
of form
on the day that
Yahweh
spoke to you in
Horeb
out of the midst
of
the
fire .
that
you do
not
act
corruptly
and make an idol
for
yourselves
of any form
or
shape
, whether
in
the likeness of a
male or female,
Lest
you corrupt
yourselves,
and make yourself
an engraved
image
in
the
form
of any figure
, the likeness of male or female,
of any beast
that is on the earth or
bird that flies in the air
,
the
likeness
of any animal
that is on the earth ,
the
likeness
of
any
winged
bird that flies in the sky
,
or
of any
creature
that crawls
on the ground or
fish that is in the waters
below.
the
likeness
of anything
that creeps
on the ground ,
the
likeness
of
any
fish that is in the water
under
the
earth;
When
you look
to the heavens
and see the sun and moon and stars —
all the host of heaven—do
not
be
enticed
to
bow
down
and worship what
the
LORD
your God has apportioned
to all the nations
under heaven
.
and
lest
you lift
up
your
eyes
to the sky,
and when
you
see the sun and the
moon and the
stars ,
even
all the host of the
sky,
you
are
drawn
away
and worship them,
and
serve
them,
which
Yahweh
your God has allotted
to all the peoples
under the
whole
sky
.
Yet
the
LORD
has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be the
people of His
inheritance, as you
are
today
.
But
Yahweh
has taken you ,
and brought you forth
out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to
him
a
people of inheritance, as at
this
day
.
The
LORD,
however,
was angry with me on
account
of
you
, and He
swore that I would
not cross
the Jordan to enter
the
good land that
the
LORD
your God is
giving
you as
an inheritance .
Furthermore
Yahweh
was angry with me for
your
sakes
, and swore that I should
not go
over
the Jordan ,
and
that
I
should
not
go
in
to that
good land ,
which
Yahweh
your God gives
you for
an inheritance :
For
I
will
not
be
crossing
the
Jordan,
because
I must die in this land .
But you shall cross
over and take
possession
of
that good land.
but
I must die in this land ,
I
must
not
go
over
the
Jordan;
but you shall go
over ,
and possess
that good land.
Be
careful
that
you do
not
forget the covenant of the
LORD
your God that
He made with you ;
do
not
make an idol
for
yourselves
in the form of anything He
has forbidden you.
Take
heed
to
yourselves,
lest
you forget the covenant of Yahweh
your God ,
which
he made with you ,
and
make you
an engraved
image
in the form of anything which
Yahweh
your
God
has forbidden you.
For the
LORD
your God is a consuming
fire, a jealous God.
For Yahweh
your God is a devouring
fire, a jealous God.
After
you have
children and grandchildren
and you have been in the land a
long
time
, if
you
then
act
corruptly
and make an idol
of
any
form —doing
evil in the sight of the
LORD
your God and
provoking
Him to anger —
When
you shall
father
children ,
and children's
children,
and you shall
have been long
in the land, and shall
corrupt
yourselves,
and
make an engraved
image
in
the
form of
anything,
and
shall
do
that
which
is
evil in the sight of Yahweh
your God ,
to
provoke
him to anger ;
I call heaven and earth as
witnesses
against you this day that you will
quickly
perish from the land that
you are
crossing
the Jordan to possess .
You will
not live
long
upon
it, but will
be
utterly destroyed.
I call heaven and earth to
witness
against you this day ,
that you shall
soon
utterly
perish from off
the land whereunto
you go
over
the Jordan to possess it;
you shall
not prolong
your
days
on
it, but shall
utterly be
destroyed.
Then
the
LORD
will scatter you among the peoples, and only
a
few
of
you will
survive
among the nations to
which
the
LORD
will
drive
you.
Yahweh
will scatter you among the peoples, and you shall
be
left
few
in
number
among the nations ,
where
Yahweh
shall
lead
you away
.
And
there you will
serve man-made
gods of wood and stone, which cannot
see or
hear or
eat or
smell.
There you shall
serve gods ,
the
work
of men's
hands,
wood and stone, which neither
see ,
nor
hear ,
nor
eat ,
nor
smell.
But if
from there you will
seek the
LORD
your God, you will
find Him if
you seek
Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
But from there you shall
seek Yahweh
your God, and
you shall
find him ,
when
you search
after
him with all your heart and with all your soul.
When you are in distress
and all these things have
happened
to
you, then
in later
days you will
return to the
LORD
your God and listen to His voice .
When you are in oppression,
and all these things are
come
on
you, in the
latter
days you shall
return to Yahweh
your God ,
and listen to his voice :
For the
LORD
your God is a merciful God; He will not abandon
you or
destroy you or
forget the covenant with
your fathers ,
which He swore to them by
oath
.
for Yahweh
your God is a merciful God; he will not fail
you ,
neither
destroy you ,
nor
forget the covenant of
your fathers which he swore to them.
Indeed,
ask now from
one
end
of the heavens
to
the
other
about
the
days that long
preceded
you, from
the day that God created man on earth :
Has anything
as
great
as this ever
happened
or been reported
?
For
ask now of the days that are
past,
which
were
before
you, since
the day that God created man on the
earth ,
and
from
the
one
end
of
the
sky
to
the
other,
whether
there
has been
[any
such
thing]
as this great
thing
is,
or has
been heard
like
it
?
Has
a people ever
heard
the voice of God speaking out of the fire, as you have, and lived
?
Did
ever
a people hear
the voice of God speaking out of the midst
of
the
fire, as you have heard
, and live
?
Or has any
god tried to take as
his
own
a nation out
of another nation —
by trials, signs, wonders, and war, by a strong
hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors —as
the
LORD
your God did for you in Egypt ,
before your eyes?
Or has God tried to go
and
take him
a nation from
the
midst
of [
another ]
nation ,
by trials, by
signs, and
by
wonders, and by
war, and
by a mighty
hand ,
and by
an outstretched arm, and by great terrors ,
according
to
all
that
Yahweh
your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
You were
shown these
things
so
that you would
know that the
LORD
is God; there is no
other
besides Him.
To
you it
was
shown ,
that you might
know that Yahweh
he
is God; there is none
else
besides him.
He let
you hear His voice from
heaven
to
discipline
you
, and on earth He showed
you His great fire ,
and you heard His words out of the fire.
Out
of
heaven
he made
you to
hear his voice, that
he
might
instruct
you:
and on earth he made
you to
see
his great fire ;
and you heard his words out of the midst
of
the
fire.
Because He loved your fathers, He chose their descendants
after them and brought you out of
Egypt
by
His presence and
great power,
Because he loved your fathers, therefore
he chose their seed
after them ,
and brought you out with
his presence ,
with
his
great power, out
of
Egypt;
to drive out before you nations
greater and mightier than you, and
to bring you into
their
land
and
give
it
to you for your
inheritance, as it
is
this day.
to drive out nations
from
before you greater and mightier than you, to bring you in,
to give
you their
land
for an
inheritance, as at
this day.
Know therefore this day and take
to heart that the
LORD
is God in heaven above and on the earth below
; there is no
other
.
Know therefore this day ,
and lay
it
to your
heart ,
that Yahweh
he
is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath
; there is none
else
.
Keep His statutes and commandments, which I am
giving
you today
, so
that you and your children after you may
prosper
, and that you may live
long
in the land that
the
LORD
your God is
giving
you for
all
time
.
You
shall
keep his statutes ,
and his
commandments, which I command
you this
day
, that it
may
go
well
with
you ,
and with
your children after you, and that you may prolong
your
days
in the land ,
which
Yahweh
your God gives
you ,
forever
.
Then Moses set aside
three cities across
the Jordan to
the east
Then Moses set apart
three cities beyond
the Jordan toward
the sunrise;
to
which
a
manslayer could
flee after
killing
his neighbor unintentionally
without
prior
malice.
To
save
one’s
own
life
, he
could
flee
to one of these cities:
that
the
manslayer might
flee there,
who
kills
his neighbor unawares
, and
didn't
hate
him
in
time
past;
and
that
fleeing
to one of these cities he
might
live
:
Bezer in the wilderness on
the plateau
belonging
to
the Reubenites ,
Ramoth in Gilead belonging
to
the Gadites ,
or
Golan in Bashan belonging
to
the Manassites.
[namely],
Bezer in the wilderness ,
in
the plain
country,
for
the Reubenites ;
and
Ramoth in Gilead ,
for
the Gadites ;
and
Golan in Bashan ,
for
the Manassites.
This is the law that
Moses set before the Israelites.
This is the law which
Moses set before the children
of
Israel:
These are the testimonies, statutes, and ordinances that
Moses proclaimed
to them
after
they had
come
out of Egypt,
these are the testimonies, and
the
statutes, and the
ordinances ,
which
Moses spoke
to the
children
of
Israel,
when
they came
forth
out of Egypt,
while
they
were
in the valley across
the
Jordan
facing
Beth -
peor in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in
Heshbon and
was
defeated
by
Moses and the Israelites
after
they had
come
out of Egypt.
beyond
the
Jordan,
in the valley over
against
Beth Peor ,
in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at
Heshbon ,
whom
Moses and the children
of
Israel
struck,
when
they came
forth
out of Egypt.
They took possession of
the land belonging
to
Sihon
and
to
Og king of Bashan —
the two Amorite
kings across
the Jordan to
the east—
They took his
land
in
possession ,
and
the land of
Og king of Bashan ,
the two kings of
the Amorites,
who
were
beyond
the
Jordan toward
the sunrise;
extending
from Aroer on the rim
of the Arnon
Valley as
far
as
Mount Siyon
( that
is ,
Hermon),
from Aroer ,
which
is
on the edge
of the valley of
the
Arnon,
even
to
Mount Sion
( the
same
is Hermon),
including
all the Arabah on
the
east
side
of
the Jordan and
as
far
as
the Sea of the Arabah, below
the slopes of Pisgah.
and
all the Arabah beyond
the Jordan eastward,
even
to
the sea of the Arabah, under
the slopes of Pisgah.
