Berean Standard Bible
`And
now, Israel, hearken
unto
the statutes ,
and unto
the
judgments
which
I am teaching you to do
, so that ye
live ,
and have
gone
in,
and possessed
the land which
Jehovah
God of your fathers is giving to
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.
Ye
do
not add to the
word
which
I am
commanding
you, nor
diminish
from
it,
to
keep the commands
of Jehovah
your God which
I am commanding
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 are
seeing
that
which
Jehovah
hath
done
in
Baal-Peor, for every
man
who
hath
gone
after
Baal-Peor,
Jehovah
thy
God hath
destroyed him
from thy
midst;
Your eyes have
seen
what
the
LORD
did
at
Baal-peor, for the
LORD
your
God destroyed from among
you
all
who
followed
Baal
of
Peor.
and
ye
who are
cleaving
to Jehovah
your God ,
`
are '
alive, all
of you ,
to-day
.
But
you
who held
fast
to the
LORD
your God are alive to
this
day
, every
one
of you.
`
See, I have taught you statutes and judgments,
as Jehovah
my God hath
commanded me --
to
do
so
, in the midst
of
the
land whither
ye
are going
in
to possess it;
See, I have taught you statutes and ordinances
just
as the
LORD
my God has
commanded me, so
that
you
may
follow
them
in the land that
you
are about
to enter
and
possess .
and
ye
have
kept
and
done
`
them '
(
for it
`is'
your wisdom and your
understanding )
before
the eyes
of the peoples who hear all these statutes ,
and they
have
said,
Only
, a people
wise and understanding `is'
this
great
nation
.
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 which
`
is '
the
great nation
that
hath
God near unto
it,
as Jehovah
our God ,
in
all
we have
called
unto
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?
and which
`
is '
the
great nation
which
hath
righteous statutes and judgments
according
to
all
this law which
I am
setting
before you to-day
?
And what
nation
is great enough
to
have
righteous statutes and ordinances
like
this entire
law I set
before you today
?
`
Only ,
take
heed
to
thyself,
and watch thy
soul
exceedingly
, lest
thou
forget the things which
thine
eyes have seen, and lest
they turn
aside
from thy
heart ,
all
days
of
thy
life;
and
thou
hast
made
them known
to thy
sons,
and to
thy
sons'
sons
.
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 when
thou
hast
stood before Jehovah
thy
God in
Horeb --
in
Jehovah's
saying
unto
me
, Assemble
to Me the people ,
and
I
cause
them
to hear My words, so that they learn to fear Me all the days that
they are
alive
on the ground
, and their
sons
they teach ;
--
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.”
and
ye
draw
near and stand
under
the mountain, and
the
mountain is
burning
with fire unto
the
heart
of
the heavens --
darkness
, cloud,
yea,
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 .
`
And Jehovah
speaketh
unto
you out of the midst
of
the
fire ;
a
voice
of words ye
are
hearing
and
a
similitude
ye
are
not
seeing
, only 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 .
and
He declareth
to you His covenant, which He hath
commanded you to do,
the Ten Matters,
and
He writeth
them
upon
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.
`And
me
hath
Jehovah
commanded
at that time to teach you statutes and judgments,
for
your
doing
them
in the land whither
ye
are passing
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 .
and
ye
have
been
very
watchful
of your
souls,
for
ye
have
not
seen
any similitude
in
the day of
Jehovah's
speaking
unto
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
ye
do corruptly ,
and have
made
to
you
a
graven
image,
a
similitude
of any figure,
a
form 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 ,
a
form
of any beast which
`
is '
in
the earth --
a
form
of
any
winged
bird which
flieth
in the heavens
--
of any beast that
is on
the earth or
bird that
flies
in the air,
a
form
of any creeping
thing
on the ground --
a
form
of
any
fish which
`
is '
in the waters under
the
earth;
or
of any creature
that
crawls
on the ground or
fish that
is in the waters below.
`And
lest
thou
lift
up
thine
eyes
towards
the heavens ,
and hast
seen
the sun ,
and the
moon ,
and the
stars ,
all the host of the
heavens,
and
thou
hast
been
forced,
and
hast
bowed
thyself
to them,
and served
them,
which
Jehovah
thy
God hath
apportioned to all the peoples
under the
whole
heavens
.
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
you
hath
Jehovah
taken ,
and He
is
bringing
you out from
the iron furnace, from
Egypt, to be to
Him
for
a
people --
an
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
.
`And
Jehovah
hath
shewed
himself
wroth
with me because
of your
words
, and sweareth
to
my
not passing
over
the Jordan ,
and
to my
not
going
in
unto
the good land which
Jehovah
thy
God is giving to
thee
--
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 .
for I am
dying
in
this
land;
I
am
not passing
over
the Jordan, and
ye
are
passing
over ,
and have
possessed
this
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
ye
forget the covenant of Jehovah
your God ,
which
He hath
made with you ,
and
have
made
to
yourselves a
graven
image,
a
similitude
of anything `concerning'
which
Jehovah
thy
God
hath
charged
thee:
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 Jehovah
thy
God is a fire
consuming --
a zealous
God.
For the
LORD
your
God is a consuming fire,
a jealous
God.
`When
thou
begettest
sons
and sons'
sons,
and ye
have become
old
in the land, and
have
done
corruptly ,
and have
made
a
graven
image,
a
similitude
of anything,
and
have
done
the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah,
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 have
caused
to
testify
against you this day the
heavens
and
the
earth,
that ye
do
perish utterly
hastily
from off
the land whither
ye
are passing
over
the Jordan to possess it;
ye
do
not prolong
days
upon it, but are
utterly 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 .
and
Jehovah
hath
scattered
you among the peoples, and ye
have
been
left
few in
number
among the nations ,
whither
Jehovah
leadeth
you ,
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 .
and ye
have
served
there gods ,
work
of man's
hands,
wood and stone, which see not,
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.
`And
--
ye
have
sought
from thence
Jehovah
thy
God, and
hast
found,
when
thou
seekest
Him with all thy
heart ,
and with all thy
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 .
in distress `being'
to
thee,
and all these things have found
thee
, in the
latter
end
of
the
days ,
and
thou
hast
turned
back
unto
Jehovah
thy
God ,
and hast
hearkened
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 a
merciful
God `
is '
Jehovah
thy
God; He doth
not fail
thee,
nor
destroy thee,
nor
forget the covenant of
thy
fathers, which He hath
sworn
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 ,
I
pray
thee,
at
the former
days which
have
been
before
thee
, from the day that God prepared
man on the
earth ,
and
from
the
`one'
end
of
the
heavens
even
unto
the
`other'
end
of
the
heavens,
whether
there
hath
been
as this
great thing
--
or hath
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
?
Hath
a people heard the voice of God speaking out of the midst
of
the
fire, as thou
hast
heard
, thou
--
and doth
live
?
Has
a people ever
heard the voice of God speaking out of the fire, as you
have
, and lived
?
Or hath
God tried to go
in
to
take to
Himself,
a nation from
the
midst
of a
nation ,
by trials, by
signs, and
by
wonders, and by
war, and
by a strong hand ,
and by
a
stretched-out
arm, and by great terrors --
according
to
all
that
Jehovah
your God hath
done
to
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?
Thou,
thou
hast
been
shewn
`it',
to
know that Jehovah
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.
`From
the
heavens
He hath
caused
thee
to
hear His voice ,
to instruct
thee
, and on earth He hath
shewed
thee
His great fire, and His words thou
hast
heard
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.
`And
because that
He hath
loved thy
fathers, He doth
also
fix
on
their seed
after them ,
and doth
bring
thee
out ,
in
His
presence,
by His great power, from
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 dispossess
nations greater and stronger
than thou,
from
thy
presence
, to bring thee
in
to
give
to
thee
their land --
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.
`And
thou
hast
known
to-
day ,
and hast
turned
`it'
back
unto
thy
heart ,
that Jehovah
He
`
is '
God ,
in the
heavens
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.
and
thou
hast
kept
His statutes and His
commands
which I am commanding
thee
to-day
, so that it
is
well
to
thee,
and to
thy
sons
after thee
, and so
that thou
prolongest
days
on
the ground
which
Jehovah
thy
God is giving to
thee
--
all the
days
. '
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 separateth
three cities beyond
the Jordan ,
towards
the sun-rising,
Then Moses set
aside
three cities across
the Jordan to
the east
for
the
fleeing
thither
of
the
man-slayer,
who
slayeth
his neighbour
unknowingly,
and
he
is
not
hating
him
heretofore
, and
he hath
fled
unto
one of these cities ,
and
he
hath
lived
:
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:
Bezer ,
in the wilderness ,
in
the land
of
the plain
, of
the
Reubenite;
and
Ramoth ,
in Gilead ,
of
the Gadite;
and
Golan
, in Bashan ,
of
the Manassahite
.
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
.
And
this `
is '
the law which
Moses hath
set before the sons
of
Israel;
This is the law that
Moses set before the Israelites.
these `
are '
the testimonies, and
the
statutes, and the
judgments,
which
Moses hath
spoken
unto
the
sons
of
Israel,
in
their
coming
out of Egypt,
These are the testimonies, statutes, and ordinances
that
Moses proclaimed
to
them
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 Amorite
, who is
dwelling
in Heshbon ,
whom
Moses and the sons
of
Israel
have
smitten,
in
their
coming
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 .
and
they possess
his
land,
and
the land of
Og king of Bashan ,
two
kings
of
the Amorite who
`are'
beyond
the Jordan ,
`towards'
the sun-rising;
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—
from Aroer ,

by
the edge
of the brook
Arnon ,

unto
mount Sion,

is '
Hermon --
extending
from Aroer on
the rim
of the Arnon Valley
as
far
as
Mount Siyon
(that
is ,
Hermon ),
and
all the plain
beyond
the Jordan eastward,
even
unto
the sea of the plain
, under
the springs
of Pisgah.

the east
side
of
the
Jordan and

far
as
the Sea of the Arabah
, below
the slopes
of Pisgah.
