King James Version
`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.
Now therefore
hearken
, O
Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments ,
which I teach
you ,
for
to do them
, that ye may
live, and go
in and possess
the land which the
LORD
God of your fathers giveth
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.
Ye shall
not add unto
the word which I command
you, neither
shall
ye
diminish ought
from it, that
ye
may
keep the commandments
of the
LORD
your God which I command
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
because
of
Baalpeor:
for all
the
men
that
followed
Baalpeor
, the
LORD
thy God hath destroyed them
from among
you.
and
ye who
are
cleaving
to
Jehovah
your God ,
`
are '
alive ,
all
of you ,
to-
day.
But
ye that
did
cleave
unto
the
LORD
your God are alive every
one
of you this
day.
`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 ;
Behold
, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even
as the
LORD
my God commanded me ,
that
ye
should
do so in the land whither ye go
to possess it .
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
.
Keep
therefore
and do
them ;
for this
is your wisdom and your understanding in
the sight
of the nations,
which
shall
hear 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 there
so
great ,
who
hath God so
nigh
unto them
, as the
LORD
our God is
in all things
that
we call
upon
him for
?
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 there
so
great ,
that
hath statutes and judgments so
righteous
as
all this law ,
which I set
before you this
day?
`
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 take heed to thyself, and keep
thy soul diligently
, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart
from thy heart all the
days of thy life :
but
teach
them thy sons, and thy sons' sons ;
`
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 ;
--
Specially
the day that
thou stoodest
before the
LORD
thy God in Horeb ,
when
the
LORD
said
unto me, Gather
me the people together
, and I will
make
them hear my words, that they may
learn to fear me all the days that they shall
live
upon
the earth
, and that
they may
teach 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 :
And ye came
near and stood
under the mountain ;
and the mountain burned
with fire unto the midst
of heaven
, with
darkness
, clouds
, and
thick 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
spake
unto you out of the midst of the fire :
ye
heard
the
voice of the
words, but
saw
no
similitude;
only ye
heard
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.
And he declared
unto
you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform
, even
ten commandments;
and he wrote
them upon two tables 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 ;
And the
LORD
commanded me
at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that
ye
might
do
them in the land whither ye go
over to possess it .
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 ,
Take
ye therefore
good
heed
unto
yourselves;
for ye saw
no
manner
of
similitude on
the day that
the
LORD
spake
unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire :
lest ye do
corruptly
, and have
made
to
you a graven image, a
similitude of any figure, a
form
of male or female --
Lest ye corrupt
yourselves
, and make
you a graven image, the
similitude of any figure, the
likeness
of male or female ,
a
form
of any beast which
`
is '
in
the earth --
a
form
of any winged bird
which
flieth in the heavens
--
The
likeness
of any beast that
is on
the earth ,
the
likeness
of any winged fowl
that
flieth 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 ;
The
likeness
of any thing that
creepeth
on the ground ,
the
likeness
of any fish that
is in the waters beneath
the earth :
`
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
.
And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto
heaven
, and when
thou
seest
the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even
all the host of heaven
, shouldest
be
driven
to worship
them, and serve
them, which the
LORD
thy God hath divided
unto
all nations
under the whole 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.
But
the
LORD
hath taken you
, and brought
you forth
out of
the iron furnace, even
out
of
Egypt, to be unto
him a people of
inheritance, as ye
are
this day.
`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 ;
Furthermore
the
LORD
was
angry
with me for
your sakes
, and sware
that
I
should
not go
over Jordan, and that
I
should
not go
in unto that
good land ,
which the
LORD
thy God giveth
thee for
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.
But
I must
die
in this land ,
I must
not go
over Jordan :
but
ye shall
go
over, and possess
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 :
Take heed unto
yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the
LORD
your God, which he made with you, and make
you
a graven image, or
the
likeness
of any
thing,
which the
LORD
thy God hath forbidden
thee .
for Jehovah
thy God is a fire
consuming --
a zealous
God.
For the
LORD
thy God is a consuming fire,
even
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: --
When thou shalt
beget
children,
and children's
children
, and ye shall
have remained
long
in the land, and shall
corrupt
yourselves
, and make
a graven image, or
the
likeness
of any
thing
, and shall
do
evil in the sight
of the
LORD
thy
God
, to provoke 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
to witness
against you this day, that ye shall
soon
utterly perish
from off the land whereunto
ye go
over Jordan to possess it; ye shall
not prolong your
days upon it, but shall
utterly be
destroyed .
and Jehovah
hath
scattered
you among the peoples
, and ye have
been
left few in number among the nations
, whither Jehovah
leadeth
you ,
And the
LORD
shall
scatter
you among the nations
, and ye shall
be
left few in number among the heathen
, whither the
LORD
shall
lead
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 ye
shall
serve
gods, the
work of men's
hands, wood and stone, which neither
see, nor hear, nor eat, nor 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 thence thou
shalt
seek
the
LORD
thy God, thou
shalt
find
him
, if
thou seek
him with all thy heart and with all thy 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
thou
art
in tribulation
, and all these things are
come
upon
thee, even
in the latter days, if
thou turn
to
the
LORD
thy God, and shalt
be
obedient
unto
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
thy
God is a
merciful
God; )
he will
not forsake
thee, neither
destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware
unto
them.
`
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?
For ask now
of
the days that
are
past,
which were
before thee, since
the day that God created
man upon
the earth, and ask
from the one side
of heaven
unto the other, whether there hath been any
such
thing
as this great thing is,
or hath been heard like it?
Hath
a
people heard
the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, thou
--
and doth
live?
Did
ever
people hear
the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
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 hath God assayed
to go and
take him
a nation from the midst of another
nation, by temptations
, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty
hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors ,
according to all that 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.
Unto
thee
it was
showed
, that
thou
mightest
know that the
LORD
he is God; there is none else beside
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.
Out
of
heaven
he made
thee to hear his voice, that
he
might
instruct thee :
and upon
earth he showed
thee his great fire ;
and thou
heardest
his words out of the midst 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 :
And because he loved thy fathers, therefore
he chose
their seed after them, and brought
thee out in his sight
with
his mighty
power out
of
Egypt ;
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
nations from
before
thee
greater and mightier
than thou art
, to bring thee in ,
to give thee their land for
an 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 consider
it in
thine
heart, that the
LORD
he is God in heaven
above, and upon
the earth beneath :
there is none else .
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
. '
Thou shalt
keep
therefore
his statutes ,
and his commandments,
which I command
thee this
day, that it may
go
well with
thee, and with
thy children
after thee, and that thou mayest
prolong
thy
days upon
the earth,
which the
LORD
thy God giveth
thee ,
for
ever
.
Then Moses separateth
three cities beyond
the
Jordan ,
towards
the sun-rising,
Then Moses severed
three cities on
this
side
Jordan toward

for
the
fleeing
thither

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
:
That
the slayer might
flee
thither
, which
should
kill
his neighbor
unawares
, and hated
him not
in
times
past;
and that
fleeing
unto one of these cities he might
live
:
