1 # Now therefore hearken <08085> (8798), O Israel <03478>, unto the statutes <02706> and unto the judgments <04941> , which I teach <03925> (8764) you, for to do <06213> (8800) them, that ye may live <02421> (8799), and go in <0935> (8804) and possess <03423> (8804) the land <0776> which the LORD <03068> God <0430> of your fathers <01> giveth <05414> (8802) you.
2 Ye shall not add <03254> (8686) unto the word <01697> which I command <06680> (8764) you, neither shall ye diminish <01639> (8799) ought from it, that ye may keep <08104> (8800) the commandments <04687> of the LORD <03068> your God <0430> which I command <06680> (8764) you.
3 Your eyes <05869> have seen <07200> (8802) what the LORD <03068> did <06213> (8804) because of Baalpeor <01187>: for all the men <0376> that followed <0310> <01980> (8804) Baalpeor <01187>, the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> hath destroyed <08045> (8689) them from among <07130> you.
4 But ye that did cleave <01695> unto the LORD <03068> your God <0430> are alive <02416> every one of you this day <03117>.
5 Behold <07200> (8798), I have taught <03925> (8765) you statutes <02706> and judgments <04941>, even as <0834> the LORD <03068> my God <0430> commanded <06680> (8765) me, that ye should do <06213> (8800) so in <07130> the land <0776> whither ye go <0935> (8802) to possess <03423> (8800) it.
6 Keep <08104> (8804) therefore and do <06213> (8804) them; for this is your wisdom <02451> and your understanding <0998> in the sight <05869> of the nations <05971>, which shall hear <08085> (8799) all these statutes <02706> , and say <0559> (8804), Surely this great <01419> nation <01471> is a wise <02450> and understanding <0995> (8737) people <05971>.
7 For what nation <01471> is there so great <01419>, who hath God <0430> so nigh <07138> unto them, as the LORD <03068> our God <0430> is in all things that we call <07121> (8800) upon him for?
8 And what nation <01471> is there so great <01419>, that hath statutes <02706> and judgments <04941> so righteous <06662> as all this law <08451>, which I set <05414> (8802) before <06440> you this day <03117>?
9 Only take heed <08104> (8734) to thyself, and keep <08104> (8798) thy soul <05315> diligently <03966> , lest thou forget <07911> (8799) the things <01697> which thine eyes <05869> have seen <07200> (8804), and lest they depart <05493> (8799) from thy heart <03824> all the days <03117> of thy life <02416>: but teach <03045> (8689) them thy sons <01121>, and thy sons <01121>' sons <01121>;
10 Specially the day <03117> that thou stoodest <05975> (8804) before <06440> the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> in Horeb <02722>, when the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8800) unto me, Gather <06950> <00> me the people <05971> together <06950> (8685), and I will make them hear <08085> (8686) my words <01697>, that they may learn <03925> (8799) to fear <03372> (8800) me all the days <03117> that they shall live <02416> upon the earth <0127>, and that they may teach <03925> (8762) their children <01121>.
11 And ye came near <07126> (8799) and stood <05975> (8799) under the mountain <02022>; and the mountain <02022> burned <01197> (8802) with fire <0784> unto the midst <03820> of heaven <08064>, with darkness <06205>, clouds <06051>, and thick darkness <02822>.
 - CLOUD - GLORY
12 And the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8762) unto you out of the midst <08432> of the fire <0784>: ye heard <08085> (8802) the voice <06963> of the words <01697>, but saw <07200> (8802) no similitude <08544>; only <02108> ye heard a voice <06963>.
13 And he declared <05046> (8686) unto you his covenant <01285>, which he commanded <06680> (8765) you to perform <06213> (8800), even ten <06235> commandments <01697>; and he wrote <03789> (8799) them upon two <08147> tables <03871> of stone <068>.
14 And the LORD <03068> commanded <06680> (8765) me at that time <06256> to teach <03925> (8763) you statutes <02706> and judgments <04941>, that ye might do <06213> (8800) them in the land <0776> whither ye go over <05674> (8802) to possess <03423> (8800) it.
15 Take ye therefore good <03966> heed <08104> (8738) unto yourselves <05315>; for ye saw <07200> (8804) no manner of similitude <08544> on the day <03117> that the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8763) unto you in Horeb <02722> out of the midst <08432> of the fire <0784>:
16 Lest ye corrupt <07843> (8686) yourselves, and make <06213> (8804) you a graven image <06459>, the similitude <08544> of any figure <05566>, the likeness <08403> of male <02145> or female <05347>,
17 The likeness <08403> of any beast <0929> that is on the earth <0776>, the likeness <08403> of any winged <03671> fowl <06833> that flieth <05774> (8799) in the air <08064>,
18 The likeness <08403> of any thing that creepeth <07430> (8802) on the ground <0127>, the likeness <08403> of any fish <01710> that is in the waters <04325> beneath <08478> the earth <0776>:
19 And lest thou lift up <05375> (8799) thine eyes <05869> unto heaven <08064>, and when thou seest <07200> (8804) the sun <08121>, and the moon <03394>, and the stars <03556>, even all the host <06635> of heaven <08064>, shouldest be driven <05080> (8738) to worship <07812> (8694) them, and serve <05647> (8804) them, which the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> hath divided <02505> (8804) unto all nations <05971> under the whole heaven <08064>.
20 But the LORD <03068> hath taken <03947> (8804) you, and brought you forth <03318> (8686) out of the iron <01270> furnace <03564>, even out of Egypt <04714>, to be unto him a people <05971> of inheritance <05159>, as ye are this day <03117>.
21 Furthermore the LORD <03068> was angry <0599> (8694) with me for your sakes <01697>, and sware <07650> (8735) that I should not go over <05674> (8800) Jordan <03383>, and that I should not go <0935> (8800) in unto that good <02896> land <0776>, which the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> giveth <05414> (8802) thee for an inheritance <05159>:
22 But I must die <04191> (8801) in this land <0776>, I must not go over <05674> (8802) Jordan <03383> : but ye shall go over <05674> (8802), and possess <03423> (8804) that good <02896> land <0776>.
23 Take heed <08104> (8734) unto yourselves, lest ye forget <07911> (8799) the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, which he made <03772> (8804) with you, and make <06213> (8804) you a graven image <06459>, or the likeness <08544> of any <03605> thing, which the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> hath forbidden <06680> (8765) thee.
24 For the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> is a consuming <0398> (8802) fire <0784>, even a jealous <07067> God <0410>.
 - FIRE OF GOD
25 When thou shalt beget <03205> (8686) children <01121>, and children's <01121> children <01121>, and ye shall have remained long <03462> (8738) in the land <0776>, and shall corrupt <07843> (8689) yourselves, and make <06213> (8804) a graven image <06459>, or the likeness <08544> of any thing, and shall do <06213> (8804) evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>, to provoke him to anger <03707> (8687):
26 I call <05749> <00> heaven <08064> and earth <0776> to witness <05749> (8689) against you this day <03117>, that ye shall soon <04118> utterly <06> (8800) perish <06> (8799) from off the land <0776> whereunto ye go over <05674> (8802) Jordan <03383> to possess <03423> (8800) it; ye shall not prolong <0748> (8686) your days <03117> upon it, but shall utterly <08045> (8736) be destroyed <08045> (8735).
27 And the LORD <03068> shall scatter <06327> (8689) you among the nations <05971>, and ye shall be left <07604> (8738) few <04962> in number <04557> among the heathen <01471>, whither the LORD <03068> shall lead <05090> (8762) you.
28 And there ye shall serve <05647> (8804) gods <0430>, the work <04639> of men's <0120> hands <03027> , wood <06086> and stone <068>, which neither see <07200> (8799), nor hear <08085> (8799), nor eat <0398> (8799), nor smell <07306> (8686).
29 But if from thence thou shalt seek <01245> (8765) the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>, thou shalt find <04672> (8804) him, if thou seek <01875> (8799) him with all thy heart <03824> and with all thy soul <05315>.
30 When thou art in tribulation <06862>, and all these things <01697> are come <04672> (8804) upon thee, even in the latter <0319> days <03117>, if thou turn <07725> (8804) to the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>, and shalt be obedient <08085> (8804) unto his voice <06963>;
31 (For the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> is a merciful <07349> God <0410>;) he will not forsake <07503> (8686) thee, neither destroy <07843> (8686) thee, nor forget <07911> (8799) the covenant <01285> of thy fathers <01> which he sware <07650> (8738) unto them.
32 For ask <07592> (8798) now of the days <03117> that are past <07223>, which were <01961> (8738) before <06440> thee, since the day <03117> that God <0430> created <01254> (8804) man <0120> upon the earth <0776> , and ask from the one side <07097> of heaven <08064> unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great <01419> thing <01697> is, or hath been heard <08085> (8738) like it?
33 Did ever people <05971> hear <08085> (8804) the voice <06963> of God <0430> speaking out <01696> (8764) of the midst <08432> of the fire <0784>, as thou hast heard <08085> (8804), and live <02421> (8799) ?
 - FIRE OF GOD
34 Or hath God <0430> assayed <05254> (8765) to go <0935> (8800) and take <03947> (8800) him a nation <01471> from the midst <07130> of another nation <01471>, by temptations <04531>, by signs <0226>, and by wonders <04159>, and by war <04421>, and by a mighty <02389> hand <03027>, and by a stretched out <05186> (8803) arm <02220> , and by great <01419> terrors <04172>, according to all that the LORD <03068> your God <0430> did <06213> (8804) for you in Egypt <04714> before your eyes <05869>?
35 Unto thee it was shewed <07200> (8717), that thou mightest know <03045> (8800) that the LORD <03068> he is God <0430>; there is none else <05750> beside him <0905>.
36 Out of heaven <08064> he made thee to hear <08085> (8689) his voice <06963>, that he might instruct <03256> (8763) thee: and upon earth <0776> he shewed <07200> (8689) thee his great <01419> fire <0784>; and thou heardest <08085> (8804) his words <01697> out of the midst <08432> of the fire <0784>.
37 And because he loved <0157> (8804) thy fathers <01>, therefore he chose <0977> (8799) their seed <02233> after <0310> them, and brought thee out <03318> (8686) in his sight <06440> with his mighty <01419> power <03581> out of Egypt <04714>;
38 To drive out <03423> (8687) nations <01471> from before <06440> thee greater <01419> and mightier <06099> than thou art, to bring <0935> (8687) thee in, to give <05414> (8800) thee their land <0776> for an inheritance <05159>, as it is this day <03117>.
39 Know <03045> (8804) therefore this day <03117>, and consider <07725> (8689) it in thine heart <03824>, that the LORD <03068> he is God <0430> in heaven <08064> above <04605>, and upon the earth <0776> beneath: there is none else.
40 Thou shalt keep <08104> (8804) therefore his statutes <02706>, and his commandments <04687>, which I command <06680> (8764) thee this day <03117>, that it may go well <03190> (8799) with thee, and with thy children <01121> after <0310> thee, and that thou mayest prolong <0748> (8686) thy days <03117> upon the earth <0127>, which the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> giveth <05414> (8802) thee, for ever.
41 # Then Moses <04872> severed <0914> (8686) three <07969> cities <05892> on this side <05676> Jordan <03383> toward the sunrising <08121> <04217>;
42 That the slayer <07523> (8802) might flee <05127> (8800) thither, which should kill <07523> (8799) his neighbour <07453> unawares <01097> <01847>, and hated <08130> (8802) him not in times <08543> past <08032>; and that fleeing <05127> (8804) unto one <0259> of these <0411> cities <05892> he might live <02425> (8804):
43 Namely, Bezer <01221> in the wilderness <04057>, in the plain <04334> country <0776>, of the Reubenites <07206> ; and Ramoth <07216> in Gilead <01568>, of the Gadites <01425>; and Golan <01474> in Bashan <01316>, of the Manassites <04520> .
44 And this is the law <08451> which Moses <04872> set <07760> (8804) before <06440> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>:
45 These are the testimonies <05713>, and the statutes <02706>, and the judgments <04941>, which Moses <04872> spake <01696> (8765) unto the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, after they came forth <03318> (8800) out of Egypt <04714> ,
46 On this side <05676> Jordan <03383>, in the valley <01516> over against <04136> Bethpeor <01047>, in the land <0776> of Sihon <05511> king <04428> of the Amorites <0567>, who dwelt <03427> (8802) at Heshbon <02809>, whom Moses <04872> and the children <01121> of Israel <03478> smote <05221> (8689), after they were come forth <03318> (8800) out of Egypt <04714>:
47 And they possessed <03423> (8799) his land <0776>, and the land <0776> of Og <05747> king <04428> of Bashan <01316>, two <08147> kings <04428> of the Amorites <0567>, which were on this side <05676> Jordan <03383> toward the sunrising <04217> <08121>;
48 From Aroer <06177>, which is by the bank <08193> of the river <05158> Arnon <0769>, even unto mount <02022> Sion <07865>, which is Hermon <02768>,
49 And all the plain <06160> on this side <05676> Jordan <03383> eastward <04217>, even unto the sea <03220> of the plain <06160>, under the springs <0794> of Pisgah <06449>.
