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.
Hear
now, O
Israel, the statutes and ordinances I am
teaching
you to follow,
so
that you may live and may
enter
and take
possession
of
the land that
the
LORD
, the God of your fathers, is
giving
you.
You shall
not add to the
word
which
I command you, neither
shall
you
diminish
from
it,
that you may keep the commandments of Yahweh
your God which
I command
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.
Your eyes have seen what Yahweh
did because
of
Baal Peor ;
for all
the men
who
followed
Baal
Peor,
Yahweh
your God has
destroyed them
from the
midst
of
you.
Your eyes have seen what the
LORD
did at
Baal -
peor ,
for the LORD
your God destroyed from among

.
But you who did
cleave
to Yahweh
your God are alive everyone
of
you
this day.
But you who held
fast
to the
LORD
your God are alive to
this day ,
every
one
of
you
.

do
so
in the midst
of
the
land where
you go
in
to possess it
.

, I have taught you statutes and ordinances just
as the
LORD
my God has

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 ,
and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
Observe
them carefully,
for this will
show
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. ”
For what great
nation is there,
that
has
a god so
near to them ,
as Yahweh
our God is whenever we call on him?
For what nation is great
enough
to
have
a god as
near to them as the
LORD
our God is to
us
whenever we call on Him?
What great
nation is there,
that
has
statutes and ordinances so
righteous
as
all
this law ,
which
I set before you this
day
?
And
what nation is great
enough
to

righteous

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;
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.
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.
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. ”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
He declared to you His covenant, which He commanded you to follow—
the Ten Commandments that
He wrote on two tablets
of stone.
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
.
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.
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 .
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
Lest
you corrupt
yourselves,
and make yourself
an engraved
image
in
the
form
of any figure
, the likeness of male or female,
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,
the
likeness
of any animal
that is on the earth ,
the
likeness
of
any
winged
bird that flies in the sky
,
of any beast
that is on the earth or
bird that flies in the air
,
the
likeness
of anything
that creeps
on the ground ,
the
likeness
of
any
fish that is in the water
under
the
earth;
or
of any
creature
that crawls
on the ground or
fish that is in the waters
below.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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 :
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 .
but
I must die in this land ,
I
must
not
go
over
the
Jordan;
but you shall go
over ,
and possess
that good land.
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.
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.
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.
For Yahweh
your God is a devouring
fire, a jealous God.
For the
LORD
your God is a consuming
fire, a jealous God.
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 ;
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 —
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.
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.
Yahweh
will scatter you among the peoples, and you
shall
be
left
few in
number
among the nations ,
where
Yahweh
shall
lead
you away
.
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.
There you shall
serve gods ,
the
work
of men's
hands,
wood and stone, which neither
see ,
nor
hear ,
nor
eat ,
nor
smell.
And
there you will
serve man-made
gods of wood and stone, which cannot
see or
hear or
eat or
smell.
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.
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.
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 :
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 .
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.
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
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
?
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
?
Did
ever
a people hear
the voice of God speaking out of the midst
of
the
fire, as you have heard
, and live
?
Has
a people ever
heard
the voice of God speaking out of the fire, as you have, and lived
?
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?
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?
To
you it
was
shown ,
that you might
know that Yahweh
he
is God; there is none
else
besides him.
You were
shown these
things
so
that you would
know that the
LORD
is God; there is no
other
besides Him.
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.
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.
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;
Because He loved your fathers, He chose their descendants
after them and brought you out of
Egypt
by
His presence and
great power,
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.
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.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
Then Moses set apart
three cities beyond
the Jordan toward
the sunrise;
Then Moses set aside
three cities across
the Jordan to
the east
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
:
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:
[namely],
Bezer in the wilderness ,

the plain
country,
for
the Reubenites ;
and
Ramoth in Gilead ,
for
the Gadites ;

Moses set before the children
of
Israel:

Moses set before the Israelites.

the
statutes, and the
ordinances ,

forth
out of Egypt,
