1 THESE be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel ^aon this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the ^bplain over against the ^cRed sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
 2 (There are eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea.)
 3 And it came to pass in the ^afortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;
 4 After he had slain ^aSihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and ^bOg the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
 5 On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to ^adeclare ^bthis law, saying,
 6 The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this ^amount :
 7 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and ^ain the vale, and in the ^bsouth , and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
 8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and ^apossess the ^bland which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
 9 ¶ And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to ^abear you myself alone:
 10 The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the ^astars of heaven for ^bmultitude .
 11 (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many ^amore as ye are, and bless you, as he hath ^bpromised you!)
 12 How can I myself alone bear your ^acumbrance , and your burden, and your ^bstrife ?
 13 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will ^amake them ^brulers over you.
 14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.
 15 So I took the chief of your tribes, ^awise men, and known, and made them ^bheads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
 16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and ^ajudge righteously between every man and his brother, and the ^bstranger that is with him.
 17 Ye shall not ^arespect persons in ^bjudgment ; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be ^cafraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.
 18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
 19 ¶ And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
 20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us.
 21 Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
 22 ¶ And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
 23 And the saying pleased me well: and I took ^atwelve men of you, one of a tribe:
 24 And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
 25 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God doth give us.
 26 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but ^arebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:
 27 And ye ^amurmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
 28 Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and ^awalled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.
 29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
 30 The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall ^afight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
 31 And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.
 32 Yet in this thing ye did not ^abelieve the LORD your God,
 33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a ^acloud by day.
 34 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and ^awas wroth, and sware, saying,
 35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this ^aevil generation ^bsee that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
 36 Save ^aCaleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.
 37 Also the LORD was ^aangry with me for your ^bsakes , saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.
 38 But ^aJoshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
 39 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no ^aknowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
 40 But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
 41 Then ye answered and said unto me, We have ^asinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.
 42 And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
 43 So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and ^awent presumptuously up into the hill.
 44 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as ^abees do, and ^bdestroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.
 45 And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
 46 So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.

 1 THEN we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed mount ^aSeir many days.
 2 And the LORD spake unto me, saying,
 3 Ye have ^acompassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
 4 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore:
 5 Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their ^aland , no, not so much as a foot ^bbreadth ; because I have given mount ^cSeir unto Esau for a possession.
 6 Ye ^ashall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.
 7 For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he ^aknoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
 8 And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Ezion-gaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
 9 And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the ^aMoabites , neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given ^bAr unto the children of Lot for a possession.
 10 The ^aEmims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the ^bAnakims ;
 11 Which also were accounted ^agiants , as the ^bAnakims ; but the Moabites call them Emims.
 12 The ^aHorims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau ^bsucceeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the LORD gave unto them.
 13 Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
 14 And the ^aspace in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the ^bmen of war ^cwere wasted out from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them.
 15 For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.
 16 ¶ So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
 17 That the LORD spake unto me, saying,
 18 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the ^acoast of Moab, this day:
 19 And when thou comest nigh over against the children of ^aAmmon , distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the ^bland of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.
 20 (That also was accounted a land of ^agiants : giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them ^bZamzummims ;
 21 A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:
 22 As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:
 23 And the Avims which dwelt in ^aHazerim , even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of ^bCaphtor , destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
 24 ¶ Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
 25 This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the ^afear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.
 26 ¶ And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
 27 Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.
 28 Thou shalt ^asell me ^bmeat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only ^cI will pass through on my feet;
 29 (As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.
 30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God ^ahardened his spirit, and made his heart ^bobstinate , that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.
 31 And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.
 32 Then ^aSihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
 33 And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we ^asmote him, and his sons, and all his people.
 34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly ^adestroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:
 35 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
 36 From ^aAroer , which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God ^bdelivered all unto us:
 37 Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbad us.

 1 THEN we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
 2 And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
 3 So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we ^asmote him until none was left to him remaining.
 4 And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
 5 All these cities were fenced with high ^awalls , gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many.
 6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.
 7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.
 8 And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that was ^aon this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon;
 9 (Which ^aHermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it ^bShenir ;)
 10 All the cities of the ^aplain , and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
 11 For only ^aOg king of Bashan remained of the remnant of ^bgiants ; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine ^ccubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the ^dcubit of a man.
 12 And this land, which we possessed at that time, from ^aAroer , which is by the river Arnon, and half ^bmount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the ^cReubenites and to the Gadites.
 13 And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of ^aManasseh ; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.
 14 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto the ^acoasts of ^bGeshuri and Maachathi; and called ^cthem after his own name, Bashan-havoth-jair, unto this day.
 15 And I gave Gilead unto Machir.
 16 And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river ^aArnon ^bhalf the valley, and the border even unto the river ^cJabbok , which is the border of the children of Ammon;
 17 The ^aplain also, and ^bJordan , and the coast thereof, from Chinnereth even unto the ^csea of the plain, even the salt sea, under Ashdoth-pisgah eastward.
 18 ¶ And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, ^aall that are meet for the war.
 19 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (for I know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have given you;
 20 Until the LORD have given ^arest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and until they also possess the land which the LORD your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given you.
 21 ¶ And I commanded ^aJoshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.
 22 Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall ^afight for you.
 23 And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,
 24 O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty ^ahand : for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?
 25 I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and ^aLebanon .
 26 But the LORD was ^awroth with me for your ^bsakes , and would not hear me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter.
 27 Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
 28 But ^acharge Joshua, and encourage him, and ^bstrengthen him: for he shall ^cgo over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.
 29 So we abode in the valley over against Beth-peor.

 1 NOW therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the ^astatutes and unto the ^bjudgments , 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.
 2 Ye shall not ^aadd 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.
 3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did ^abecause of ^bBaal -peor: for all the men that followed Baal-peor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you.
 4 But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.
 5 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.
 6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your ^awisdom and your ^bunderstanding in the sight of the ^cnations , which shall hear all these ^dstatutes , and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
 7 For what ^anation is there so great, who hath God so ^bnigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?
 8 And what nation is there so great, that hath ^astatutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
 9 Only take ^aheed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou ^bforget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but ^cteach them thy ^dsons , and thy sons’ sons;
 10 Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in ^aHoreb , when the LORD said unto me, ^bGather me the people together, and I will make them ^chear my words, that they may learn to ^dfear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their ^echildren .
 11 And ye came near and stood ^aunder the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.
 12 And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the ^avoice of the words, but saw no ^bsimilitude ; only ye heard a voice.
 13 And he declared unto you his ^acovenant , which he commanded you to perform, even ^bten ^ccommandments ; and he ^dwrote them upon two ^etables of stone.
 14 ¶ And the LORD commanded me at that time to ^ateach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.
 15 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:
 16 Lest ye ^acorrupt yourselves, and make you a graven ^bimage , the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
 17 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
 18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
 19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the ^astars , even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to ^bworship them, and serve ^cthem , which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
 20 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 ^ainheritance , as ye are this day.
 21 Furthermore the LORD was ^aangry 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:
 22 But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.
 23 Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye ^aforget the ^bcovenant 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.
 24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming ^afire , even a ^bjealous God.
 25 ¶ 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 ^aevil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to ^banger :
 26 I call ^aheaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over ^bJordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall ^cutterly be destroyed.
 27 And the LORD shall ^ascatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number ^bamong the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.
 28 And there ye shall serve ^agods , the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither ^bsee , nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
 29 But if from thence thou shalt ^aseek the LORD thy God, thou shalt ^bfind him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
 30 When thou art in ^atribulation , and all these things are come upon thee, even in the ^blatter days, if thou ^cturn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
 31 (For the LORD thy God is a ^amerciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the ^bcovenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
 32 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?
 33 Did ever people ^ahear the ^bvoice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
 34 Or hath God ^aassayed to go and take him a ^bnation from the midst of another nation, by ^ctemptations , by signs, and by ^dwonders , and by war, and by a ^emighty hand, and by a ^fstretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
 35 Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is ^aGod ; there is ^bnone else beside him.
 36 Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might ^ainstruct thee: and upon earth he ^bshewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.
 37 And because he ^aloved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of ^bEgypt ;
 38 To ^adrive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an ^binheritance , as it is this day.
 39 Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is ^aGod in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
 40 Thou shalt ^akeep 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 ^bprolong thy ^cdays upon the ^dearth , which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.
 41 ¶ Then Moses ^asevered three cities on this side Jordan ^btoward the sunrising;
 42 That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbour ^aunawares , and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might ^blive :
 43 Namely, Bezer in the wilderness, ^ain the ^bplain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.
 44 ¶ And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
 45 These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt,
 46 On this side Jordan, in the valley over against Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were come forth out of Egypt:
 47 And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;
 48 From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river ^aArnon , even unto mount ^bSion , which is ^cHermon ,
 49 And all ^athe plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto ^bthe sea of the plain, ^cunder the springs of Pisgah.

 1 AND Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the ^astatutes and ^bjudgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.
 2 The LORD our God made a ^acovenant with us in Horeb.
 3 The LORD made not this ^acovenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
 4 The LORD talked with you ^aface to face in the mount out of the midst of the ^bfire ,
 5 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to ^ashew you the work of the LORD: for ye were ^bafraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,
 6 ¶ ^aI am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
 7 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
 8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
 9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting ^athe iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth ^b generation of them that ^chate me,
 10 And shewing ^amercy unto thousands of them that ^blove me and keep my commandments.
 11 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
 12 Keep the ^asabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.
 13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:
 14 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
 15 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
 16 ¶ ^aHonour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
 17 Thou shalt not ^akill .
 18 Neither shalt thou commit ^aadultery .
 19 Neither shalt thou ^asteal .
 20 Neither shalt thou bear ^afalse witness against thy neighbour.
 21 Neither shalt thou ^adesire thy neighbour’s wife, neither shalt thou ^bcovet thy neighbour’s house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
 22 ¶ These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he ^awrote them in two ^btables of stone, and delivered them unto me.
 23 And it came to pass, when ye ^aheard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
 24 And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath ^ashewed us his ^bglory and his greatness, and we have heard his ^cvoice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he ^dliveth .
 25 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the ^avoice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.
 26 For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
 27 Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and ^aspeak thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and ^bdo it.
 28 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.
 29 O that there were such an ^aheart in them, that they would ^bfear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!
 30 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.
 31 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the ^acommandments , and the ^bstatutes , and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
 32 Ye shall ^aobserve to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not ^bturn aside to the right hand or to the left.
 33 Ye shall ^awalk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.

 1 NOW these are the commandments, the ^astatutes , and the ^bjudgments , which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
 2 That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be ^aprolonged .
 3 ¶ Hear therefore, O Israel, and ^aobserve to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
 4 ^aHear , O Israel: The LORD our God is ^bone LORD:
 5 And thou shalt ^alove the LORD thy God with all thine ^bheart , and with all thy soul, and with all thy ^cmight .
 6 And these ^awords , which I command thee this day, shall be in thine ^bheart :
 7 And thou shalt ^ateach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt ^btalk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
 8 And thou shalt ^abind them for a ^bsign upon thine hand, and they shall be as ^cfrontlets between thine eyes.
 9 And thou shalt write them upon the ^aposts of thy house, and on thy gates.
 10 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,
 11 And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;
 12 Then beware lest thou ^aforget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
 13 Thou shalt ^afear the LORD thy God, and ^bserve him, and shalt ^cswear by his name.
 14 Ye shall not go after ^aother ^bgods , of the gods of the people which are round about you;
 15 (For the LORD thy God is a ^ajealous God among you) lest the ^banger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
 16 ¶ Ye shall not ^atempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
 17 Ye shall ^adiligently keep the ^bcommandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
 18 And thou shalt do that which is ^aright and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD ^bsware unto thy fathers,
 19 To ^acast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.
 20 And when thy son ^aasketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the ^btestimonies , and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you?
 21 Then thou shalt say unto thy ^ason , We were Pharaoh’s bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:
 22 And the LORD shewed signs and wonders, great and ^asore , upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:
 23 And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
 24 And the LORD ^acommanded us to do all these statutes, to ^bfear the LORD our God, for our ^cgood always, that he might ^dpreserve us alive, as it is at this day.
 25 And it shall be our ^arighteousness , if we ^bobserve to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.

 1 WHEN the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven ^anations greater and mightier than thou;
 2 And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly ^adestroy them; thou shalt ^bmake no ^ccovenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
 3 Neither shalt thou make ^amarriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
 4 For they will ^aturn away thy son from following me, that they may ^bserve other gods: so will the ^canger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
 5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall ^adestroy their altars, and break down their ^bimages , and cut down their ^cgroves , and burn their graven images with fire.
 6 For thou art ^aan ^bholy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath ^cchosen thee to be a ^dspecial people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
 7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
 8 But because the LORD ^aloved you, and because he would keep the ^boath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and ^credeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
 9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which ^akeepeth covenant and ^bmercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
 10 And ^arepayeth them that hate him to their face, to ^bdestroy them: he will not be slack to him that ^chateth him, he will repay him to his face.
 11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the ^ajudgments , which I ^bcommand thee this day, to do them.
 12 ¶ Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye ^ahearken to these ^bjudgments , and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the ^ccovenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
 13 And he will ^alove thee, and bless thee, and ^bmultiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the ^cfruit of thy land, thy ^dcorn , and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
 14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female ^abarren among you, or among your cattle.
 15 And the LORD will take away from thee all ^asickness , and will put none of the evil ^bdiseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
 16 And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their ^agods ; for that will be a snare unto thee.
 17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?
 18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
 19 The great ^atemptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the ^bwonders , and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
 20 Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
 21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God and ^aterrible .
 22 And the LORD thy God will ^aput out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the ^bbeasts of the field increase upon thee.
 23 But the LORD thy God shall ^adeliver them unto thee, and shall ^bdestroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.
 24 And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
 25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.
 26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.

 1 ALL the commandments which I ^acommand thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.
 2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to ^ahumble thee, and to ^bprove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
 3 And he ^ahumbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with ^bmanna , which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that ^cman doth not live by ^dbread only, but by every ^e word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
 4 ^aThy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
 5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man ^achasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
 6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to ^awalk in his ways, and to fear him.
 7 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a ^agood ^bland , a land of brooks of water, of ^cfountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
 8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of ^aoil olive, and honey;
 9 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig ^abrass .
 10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
 11 Beware that thou ^aforget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ^bjudgments , and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
 12 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
 13 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
 14 Then thine ^aheart be ^blifted up, and thou ^cforget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
 15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery ^aserpents , and scorpions, and ^bdrought , where there was no water; who brought thee forth ^cwater out of the rock of flint;
 16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with ^amanna , which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might ^bprove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
 17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
 18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get ^awealth , that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
 19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and ^awalk after other ^bgods , and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely ^cperish .
 20 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be ^aobedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.

 1 HEAR, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to ^apossess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and ^bfenced up to heaven,
 2 A people great and tall, the children of the ^aAnakims , whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!
 3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over ^abefore thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall ^bbring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.
 4 Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my ^arighteousness the LORD hath ^bbrought me in to possess this land: but for the ^cwickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.
 5 Not for thy ^arighteousness , or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
 6 Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a ^astiffnecked people.
 7 ¶ Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been ^arebellious against the LORD.
 8 Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you ^ato have ^bdestroyed you.
 9 When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount ^aforty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:
 10 And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone ^awritten with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD ^bspake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the ^cday of the assembly.
 11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.
 12 And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have ^acorrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
 13 Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a ^astiffnecked people:
 14 Let me alone, that I may ^adestroy them, and ^bblot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
 15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
 16 And I ^alooked , and, behold, ye had ^bsinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.
 17 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.
 18 And I ^afell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing ^bwickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to ^canger .
 19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to ^adestroy you. But the LORD ^bhearkened unto me at that time also.
 20 And the LORD was very ^aangry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
 21 And I took your ^asin , the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and ^bstamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.
 22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye ^aprovoked the LORD to wrath.
 23 Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye ^arebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
 24 Ye have been ^arebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
 25 Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
 26 I ^aprayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine ^binheritance , which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
 27 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the ^astubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
 28 Lest the ^aland whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.
 29 Yet they are thy ^apeople and thine ^binheritance , which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.

 1 AT that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two ^atables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ^bark of wood.
 2 And I will ^awrite on the tables the words that were in the first tables ^bwhich thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.
 3 And I made an ark of ^ashittim wood, and hewed two ^btables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand.
 4 And he ^awrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me.
 5 And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD commanded me.
 6 ¶ And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera: there ^aAaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest’s office in his stead.
 7 From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to ^aJotbath , a land of ^brivers of waters.
 8 ¶ At that time the LORD ^aseparated the tribe of ^bLevi , to ^cbear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to ^dbless in his name, unto this day.
 9 Wherefore ^aLevi hath no ^bpart nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his ^cinheritance , according as the LORD thy God promised him.
 10 And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also, and the LORD would not destroy thee.
 11 And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy ^ajourney before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them.
 12 ¶ And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God ^arequire of thee, but to ^bfear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to ^cserve the LORD thy God with all thy ^dheart and with all thy soul,
 13 To keep the ^acommandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy ^bgood ?
 14 Behold, the heaven and the ^aheaven of heavens is the LORD’s thy God, the ^bearth also, with ^call that therein is.
 15 ^aOnly the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to ^blove them, and he ^cchose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.
 16 ^aCircumcise therefore the foreskin of your ^bheart , and be no more ^cstiffnecked .
 17 For the LORD your ^aGod is ^bGod of gods, and ^cLord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, ^dwhich ^eregardeth not persons, nor taketh ^freward :
 18 He ^adoth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and ^bloveth the ^cstranger , in giving him ^dfood and raiment.
 19 ^aLove ye therefore the ^bstranger : for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
 20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou ^acleave , and ^bswear by his name.
 21 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these ^agreat and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.
 22 Thy ^afathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the ^bstars of heaven for multitude.

 1 THEREFORE thou shalt ^alove the LORD thy God, and keep his ^bcharge , and his statutes, and his ^cjudgments , and his commandments, alway.
 2 And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the ^achastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,
 3 And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
 4 And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the ^aRed sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them unto this day;
 5 And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this place;
 6 And what he did unto ^aDathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and ^ball the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:
 7 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did.
 8 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be ^astrong , and go in and ^bpossess the land, whither ye go to possess it;
 9 And that ye may ^aprolong your days in the land, which the LORD sware unto your ^bfathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
 10 ¶ For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of ^aherbs :
 11 But the ^aland , whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
 12 A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
 13 ¶ And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to ^alove the LORD your God, and to ^bserve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
 14 That I will give you the ^arain of your land in his due season, the ^bfirst rain and the ^clatter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy ^dcorn , and thy wine, and thine oil.
 15 And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.
 16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not ^adeceived , and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
 17 And then the LORD’s wrath be kindled against you, and he ^ashut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye ^bperish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.
 18 ¶ Therefore shall ye ^alay up these my ^bwords in your ^cheart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your ^dhand , that they may be as ^efrontlets between your eyes.
 19 And ye shall ^ateach them your ^bchildren , speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
 20 And thou shalt write them upon the ^adoor posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:
 21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your ^achildren , in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, ^bas the days of heaven upon the earth.
 22 ¶ For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to ^awalk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;
 23 Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall ^apossess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.
 24 Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river ^aEuphrates , even unto the uttermost sea shall ^byour coast be.
 25 There shall no man be able to ^astand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.
 26 ¶ Behold, I set before you this day a ^ablessing and a ^bcurse ;
 27 A ^ablessing , if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:
 28 And a ^acurse , if ye will not ^bobey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
 29 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the ^ablessing upon mount ^bGerizim , and the curse upon mount Ebal.
 30 Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the ^achampaign over against Gilgal, beside the ^bplains of Moreh?
 31 For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein.
 32 And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.

 1 THESE are the statutes and ^ajudgments , which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.
 2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the ^aplaces , wherein the nations which ye shall ^bpossess served their ^cgods , upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:
 3 And ye shall ^aoverthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their ^bgroves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.
 4 Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.
 5 But unto the ^aplace which the LORD your God shall ^bchoose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt ^ccome :
 6 And thither ye shall bring your burnt ^aofferings , and your sacrifices, and your ^btithes , and ^cheave offerings of your hand, and your ^dvows , and your freewill offerings, and the ^efirstlings of your herds and of your flocks:
 7 And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall ^arejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.
 8 Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is ^aright in his own eyes.
 9 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth you.
 10 But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to ^ainherit , and when he giveth you ^brest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;
 11 Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD:
 12 And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.
 13 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest:
 14 But in the ^aplace which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.
 15 Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat ^aflesh in all thy gates, ^bwhatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the ^cunclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the ^droebuck , and as of the ^ehart .
 16 Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.
 17 ¶ Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy ^acorn , or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:
 18 But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.
 19 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the ^aLevite as long as thou livest upon the earth.
 20 ¶ When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy ^aborder , as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
 21 If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
 22 Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.
 23 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the ^ablood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
 24 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.
 25 Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go ^awell with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.
 26 Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose:
 27 And thou shalt offer thy ^aburnt offerings, the ^bflesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.
 28 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go ^awell with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.
 29 ¶ When the LORD thy God shall ^acut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou ^bsucceedest them, and dwellest in their land;
 30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
 31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every ^aabomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have ^bburnt in the ^cfire to their gods.
 32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not ^aadd thereto, nor ^bdiminish from it.

 1 IF there arise among you a ^aprophet , or a dreamer of ^bdreams , and giveth thee a ^csign or a wonder,
 2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other ^agods , which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
 3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that ^aprophet , or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God ^bproveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
 4 Ye shall ^awalk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
 5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to ^adeath ; because he hath spoken to ^bturn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to ^cthrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.
 6 ¶ If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy ^ason , or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, ^bentice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;
 7 Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;
 8 Thou shalt not ^aconsent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:
 9 But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be ^afirst upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
 10 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
 11 And all Israel shall hear, and ^afear , and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.
 12 ¶ If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,
 13 Certain men, the children of ^aBelial , are gone out from among you, and have ^bwithdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;
 14 Then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you;
 15 Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.
 16 And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again.
 17 And ^athere shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his ^banger , and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;
 18 When thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD thy God.

 1 YE are the ^achildren of the LORD your God: ye shall ^bnot ^ccut yourselves, nor make any baldness ^dbetween your eyes for the dead.
 2 For thou art an ^aholy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a ^bpeculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.
 3 ¶ Thou shalt not ^aeat any abominable thing.
 4 These are the beasts which ye shall ^aeat : the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
 5 The hart, and the ^aroebuck , and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
 6 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and ^acleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.
 7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.
 8 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.
 9 ¶ These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
 10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.
 11 ¶ Of all clean birds ye shall eat.
 12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ^aossifrage , and the ospray,
 13 And the ^aglede , and the kite, and the ^bvulture after his kind,
 14 And every raven after his kind,
 15 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the ^acuckow , and the hawk after his kind,
 16 The little owl, and the great owl, and the ^aswan ,
 17 And the pelican, and the ^agier eagle, and the cormorant,
 18 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the ^alapwing , and the bat.
 19 And every ^acreeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.
 20 But of all clean fowls ye may eat.
 21 ¶ Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt ^agive it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest ^bsell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not ^cseethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
 22 Thou shalt truly ^atithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.
 23 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.
 24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
 25 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:
 26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
 27 And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
 28 ¶ At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the ^atithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:
 29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the ^awidow , which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.

 1 AT the end of every ^aseven years thou shalt make a ^brelease .
 2 And this is the manner of the ^arelease : Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD’s release.
 3 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;
 4 ^aSave when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it:
 5 Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.
 6 For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not ^aborrow ; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.
 7 ¶ If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy ^agates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not ^bharden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy ^cpoor ^dbrother :
 8 But thou shalt open thine ^ahand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he ^bwanteth .
 9 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine ^aeye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he ^bcry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee.
 10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.
 11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine ^ahand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
 12 ¶ And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be ^asold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.
 13 And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty:
 14 Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy ^afloor , and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.
 15 And thou shalt ^aremember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day.
 16 And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee;
 17 Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust it through his ^aear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise.
 18 It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been ^aworth a double hired servant to thee, in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.
 19 ¶ All the ^afirstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt ^bsanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy ^cbullock , nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.
 20 Thou shalt eat it before the LORD thy God year by year in the ^aplace which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.
 21 And if there be any ^ablemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ^bill blemish, thou shalt not ^csacrifice it unto the LORD thy God.
 22 Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the ^aunclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.
 23 Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.

 1 OBSERVE the month of ^aAbib , and keep the ^bpassover unto the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.
 2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the ^apassover unto the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the ^bplace which the LORD shall choose to place his name there.
 3 Thou shalt eat no ^aleavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat ^bunleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in ^chaste : that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.
 4 And there shall be no ^aleavened bread seen with thee in all thy ^bcoast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, ^cremain all night until the morning.
 5 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy ^agates , which the LORD thy God giveth thee:
 6 But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the ^apassover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the ^bseason that thou camest forth out of Egypt.
 7 And thou shalt ^aroast and eat it in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.
 8 Six days thou shalt eat ^aunleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a ^bsolemn assembly to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work therein.
 9 ¶ Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the ^acorn .
 10 And thou shalt keep the feast of ^aweeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath ^bblessed thee:
 11 And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.
 12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a ^abondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
 13 ¶ Thou shalt observe the feast of ^atabernacles seven days, ^bafter that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:
 14 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
 15 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.
 16 ¶ ^aThree times in a year shall all thy males ^bappear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the ^cfeast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:
 17 Every man shall ^a give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.
 18 ¶ ^aJudges and ^bofficers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.
 19 Thou shalt not ^awrest ^bjudgment ; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a ^cgift : for a gift doth ^dblind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
 20 That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
 21 ¶ ^aThou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee.
 22 Neither shalt thou set thee up any ^aimage ; which the LORD thy God hateth.

 1 THOU shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is ^ablemish , or any ^bevilfavouredness : for that is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
 2 ¶ If there be found among you, within any of thy ^agates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in ^btransgressing his covenant,
 3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
 4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and inquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:
 5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt ^astone them with stones, till they ^bdie .
 6 ^aAt the mouth of ^btwo witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to ^cdeath ; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
 7 The hands of the witnesses shall be ^afirst upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.
 8 ¶ If there arise a matter too hard for thee in ^ajudgment , ^bbetween blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of ^ccontroversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the ^dplace which the LORD thy God shall choose;
 9 And thou shalt come unto the ^apriests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and inquire; and they shall ^bshew thee the sentence of judgment:
 10 And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee;
 11 According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.
 12 And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.
 13 And all the people shall hear, and ^afear , and do no more presumptuously.
 14 ¶ When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me;
 15 ^aThou shalt in any wise set him ^bking over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a ^cstranger over thee, which is not thy brother.
 16 But he shall not multiply ^ahorses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth ^breturn no more that way.
 17 Neither shall he multiply ^awives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly ^bmultiply to himself silver and gold.
 18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
 19 And it shall be with him, and he shall ^aread therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:
 20 That his heart be not lifted up above his ^abrethren , and that he ^bturn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his ^cchildren , in the midst of Israel.

 1 THE priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no ^apart nor ^binheritance with Israel: they shall ^ceat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.
 2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their ^ainheritance , as he hath said unto them.
 3 ¶ And this shall be the priest’s ^adue from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the ^bmaw .
 4 The ^afirstfruit also of thy ^bcorn , of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
 5 For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to ^aminister in the ^bname of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.
 6 ¶ And if a Levite come from any of thy ^agates out of all Israel, where he ^bsojourned , and come with all the desire of his mind unto the ^cplace which the LORD shall choose;
 7 Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD.
 8 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.
 9 ¶ When thou art come into the ^aland which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the ^babominations of those nations.
 10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter ^ato pass through the ^bfire , or that useth ^cdivination , or an observer of times, or an ^denchanter , or a witch,
 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with ^afamiliar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
 12 For all that do these things are an ^aabomination unto the LORD: and because of these ^babominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
 13 Thou shalt be ^aperfect with the LORD thy God.
 14 For these nations, which thou shalt ^apossess , hearkened unto ^bobservers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
 15 ¶ The LORD thy God will ^araise up unto thee a ^bProphet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
 16 According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not ^ahear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
 17 And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
 18 I will raise them up a ^aProphet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my ^bwords in his mouth; and he shall ^cspeak unto them all that I shall command him.
 19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
 20 But the ^aprophet , which shall ^bpresume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
 21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we ^aknow the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
 22 When a ^aprophet ^bspeaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

 1 WHEN the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and ^athou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;
 2 Thou shalt ^aseparate three ^bcities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
 3 Thou shalt prepare thee ^aa way, and divide the ^bcoasts of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may ^cflee thither.
 4 ¶ And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ^aignorantly , whom he hated not in time past;
 5 As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:
 6 Lest the ^aavenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.
 7 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee.
 8 And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy ^acoast , as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;
 9 If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to ^awalk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:
 10 That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.
 11 ¶ But if any man hate his ^aneighbour , and ^blie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities:
 12 Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
 13 Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt ^aput away the ^bguilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.
 14 ¶ Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour’s ^alandmark , which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
 15 ¶ One ^awitness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two ^bwitnesses , or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
 16 ¶ If a ^afalse witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;
 17 Then both the men, between whom the ^acontroversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
 18 And the ^ajudges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;
 19 Then shall ye ^ado unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
 20 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
 21 And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, ^aeye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

 1 WHEN thou goest out to ^abattle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and ^bchariots , and a people more than thou, be not ^cafraid of them: for the ^dLORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
 2 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people.
 3 And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;
 4 For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to ^afight for you against your enemies, to save you.
 5 ¶ And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.
 6 And what man is he that hath planted a ^avineyard , and hath not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it.
 7 And what man is there that hath betrothed a ^awife , and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.
 8 And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is ^afearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren’s heart ^bfaint as well as his heart.
 9 And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.
 10 ¶ When thou comest nigh unto a city to ^afight against it, then proclaim ^bpeace unto it.
 11 And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be ^atributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.
 12 And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:
 13 And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:
 14 But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt ^aeat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
 15 Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.
 16 But of the ^acities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:
 17 But thou shalt utterly ^adestroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:
 18 That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God.
 19 ¶ When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (^afor the tree of the field is man’s life) to employ them in the siege:
 20 Only the trees which thou knowest that they be not trees for ^ameat , thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.

 1 IF one be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him:
 2 Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure ^aunto the cities which are round about him that is slain:
 3 And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been ^awrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke;
 4 And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither ^aeared nor sown, and shall ^bstrike off the heifer’s neck there in the valley:
 5 And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every ^astroke be tried:
 6 And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer ^athat is beheaded in the valley:
 7 And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
 8 ^aBe merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast ^bredeemed , and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel’s charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
 9 So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.
 10 ¶ When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,
 11 And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;
 12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
 13 And she shall put the ^araiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
 14 And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not ^asell her at all for money, thou shalt not ^bmake merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.
 15 ¶ If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another ^ahated , and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:
 16 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not ^amake the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn:
 17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a ^adouble portion of all that he hath: for he is ^bthe ^cbeginning of his strength; the right of the ^dfirstborn is his.
 18 ¶ If a man have a ^astubborn and rebellious son, which will not ^bobey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:
 19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto ^athe gate of his place;
 20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.
 21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
 22 ¶ And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:
 23 His ^abody shall not ^bremain all night upon the ^ctree , but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is ^daccursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an ^einheritance .

 1 THOU shalt not see thy ^abrother ’s ox or his sheep go ^bastray , and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.
 2 And if thy brother ^a be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.
 3 In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all ^alost thing of thy brother’s, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.
 4 ¶ Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely ^ahelp him to lift them up again.
 5 ¶ The woman shall not ^awear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
 6 ¶ If a bird’s nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the ^adam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the ^bdam with the young:
 7 But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest ^aprolong thy days.
 8 ¶ When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a ^abattlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence.
 9 ¶ Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with ^adivers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled.
 10 ¶ Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
 11 ¶ Thou shalt not wear a garment of ^adivers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.
 12 ¶ Thou shalt make thee ^afringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.
 13 ¶ If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and ^ahate her,
 14 And ^agive occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a ^bmaid :
 15 Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel’s virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:
 16 And the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
 17 And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
 18 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
 19 And they shall ^aamerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil ^bname upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
 20 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:
 21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she ^adie : because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
 22 ¶ If a man be found lying with a woman ^amarried to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.
 23 ¶ If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto ^aan husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
 24 Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she ^acried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
 25 ¶ But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and ^alie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:
 26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, ^aeven so is this matter:
 27 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.
 28 ¶ If a man find a damsel that is a ^avirgin , which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
 29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his ^awife ; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
 30 ¶ A man shall not take his ^afather ’s wife, nor ^bdiscover his father’s skirt.

 1 HE that is ^awounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
 2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
 3 An ^aAmmonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
 4 Because they met you not with ^abread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee ^bBalaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
 5 Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the ^acurse into a ^bblessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God ^cloved thee.
 6 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
 7 ¶ Thou shalt not abhor an ^aEdomite ; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a ^bstranger in his land.
 8 The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation.
 9 ¶ When ^athe host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing.
 10 ¶ If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
 11 But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again.
 12 ¶ Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
 13 And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover ^athat which cometh from thee:
 14 For the LORD thy God ^awalketh in the ^bmidst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
 15 ¶ Thou shalt not deliver unto his ^amaster the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:
 16 He shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy ^agates , where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.
 17 ¶ There shall be no ^awhore of the daughters of Israel, nor ^ba sodomite of the sons of Israel.
 18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
 19 ¶ Thou shalt not lend upon ^ausury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:
 20 Unto a ^astranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not ^blend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
 21 ¶ When thou shalt ^avow a ^bvow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
 22 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
 23 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
 24 ¶ When thou comest into thy neighbour’s vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel.
 25 When thou comest into the standing ^acorn of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the ^bears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour’s standing corn.

 1 WHEN a man hath taken a ^awife , and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some ^buncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of ^cdivorcement , and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
 2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife.
 3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;
 4 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not ^acause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
 5 ¶ When a man hath taken a new ^awife , he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall ^bcheer up his wife which he hath taken.
 6 ¶ No man shall take the ^anether or the upper millstone to pledge: for ^bhe taketh a man’s life to pledge.
 7 ¶ If a man be found ^astealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh ^bmerchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.
 8 ¶ Take heed in the plague of ^aleprosy , that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall ^bteach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.
 9 Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt.
 10 ¶ When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
 11 Thou shalt stand ^aabroad , and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
 12 And if the man be poor, thou shalt not ^asleep with his pledge:
 13 In any case thou shalt deliver him the ^apledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own ^braiment , and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the LORD thy God.
 14 ¶ Thou shalt not ^aoppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy ^bgates :
 15 ^aAt his day thou shalt give him his ^bhire , neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he ^ccry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee.
 16 The ^afathers shall not be put to ^bdeath for the children, neither shall the ^cchildren be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his ^down ^esin .
 17 ¶ Thou shalt not ^apervert the ^bjudgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow’s raiment to pledge:
 18 But thou shalt remember that thou wast a ^abondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
 19 ¶ When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the ^awidow : that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.
 20 When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
 21 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
 22 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.

 1 IF there be a ^acontroversy between men, and they come unto ^bjudgment , that the judges may judge them; then they shall ^cjustify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.
 2 And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be ^abeaten , that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain ^bnumber .
 3 ^aForty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem ^bvile unto thee.
 4 ¶ Thou shalt not ^amuzzle the ox when he treadeth out the ^b corn.
 5 ¶ If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the ^awife of the dead shall not marry ^bwithout unto a stranger: her ^chusband ’s ^dbrother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an ^ehusband ’s brother unto her.
 6 And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the ^aname of his brother which is dead, that his ^bname be not ^cput out of Israel.
 7 And if the man like not to take his brother’s wife, then let his brother’s wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband’s brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband’s brother.
 8 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he ^astand to it, and say, I like not to take her;
 9 Then shall his brother’s wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his ^ashoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother’s house.
 10 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe loosed.
 11 ¶ When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:
 12 Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.
 13 ¶ Thou shalt not have in thy bag ^adivers ^bweights , a great and a small.
 14 Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.
 15 But thou shalt have a ^aperfect and just weight, a perfect and just ^bmeasure shalt thou have: that thy days may be ^clengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
 16 For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
 17 ¶ Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt;
 18 How he met thee by the way, and ^asmote the hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God.
 19 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt ^ablot out the remembrance of ^bAmalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it.

 1 AND it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein;
 2 That thou shalt take of the first of all the ^afruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the ^bplace which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there.
 3 And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that I am come unto the country which the LORD sware unto our fathers for to give us.
 4 And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God.
 5 And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A ^aSyrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into ^bEgypt , and sojourned there with a few, and became there a ^cnation , great, mighty, and ^dpopulous :
 6 And the ^aEgyptians ^bevil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:
 7 And when we ^acried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD ^bheard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our ^coppression :
 8 And the LORD ^abrought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with ^bsigns , and with wonders:
 9 And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a ^aland that floweth with milk and honey.
 10 And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God:
 11 And thou shalt ^arejoice in every good thing which the LORD thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the ^bstranger that is among you.
 12 ¶ When thou hast made an end of tithing all the ^atithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy ^bgates , and be filled;
 13 Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the ^ahallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the ^bfatherless , and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them:
 14 I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.
 15 ^aLook down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
 16 ¶ This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and ^ajudgments : thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine ^bheart , and with all thy soul.
 17 Thou hast ^aavouched the ^bLORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:
 18 And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his ^apeculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;
 19 And to make thee ^ahigh above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an ^bholy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.

 1 AND Moses with the ^aelders of Israel commanded the people, saying, ^bKeep all the commandments which I command you this day.
 2 And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great ^astones , and ^bplaister them with plaister:
 3 And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee.
 4 Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister.
 5 And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an altar of ^astones : thou shalt not lift up any ^biron tool upon them.
 6 Thou shalt build the ^aaltar of the LORD thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD thy God:
 7 And thou shalt offer peace ^aofferings , and shalt eat there, and rejoice before the LORD thy God.
 8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.
 9 ¶ And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the ^aLORD thy God.
 10 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.
 11 ¶ And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,
 12 These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to ^abless the people, when ye are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:
 13 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
 14 ¶ And the Levites shall ^aspeak , and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice,
 15 ^aCursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten ^bimage , an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.
 16 Cursed be he that ^asetteth light by his ^bfather or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.
 17 Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour’s ^alandmark . And all the people shall say, Amen.
 18 Cursed be he that ^amaketh the ^bblind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen.
 19 Cursed be he that ^aperverteth the ^bjudgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.
 20 Cursed be he that lieth with his father’s wife; because he uncovereth ^ahis father’s skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen.
 21 Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of ^abeast . And all the people shall say, Amen.
 22 ^aCursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.
 23 Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen.
 24 Cursed be he that ^asmiteth his ^bneighbour ^csecretly . And all the people shall say, Amen.
 25 Cursed be he that taketh ^areward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.
 26 ^aCursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.

 1 AND it shall come to pass, if thou shalt ^ahearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on ^bhigh above all nations of the earth:
 2 And all these ^ablessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
 3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
 4 Blessed shall be the ^afruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy ^bcattle , the increase of thy kine, and the ^cflocks of thy sheep.
 5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy ^astore .
 6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou ^acomest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
 7 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
 8 The LORD shall ^acommand the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in ^ball that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the ^cland which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
 9 The LORD shall establish thee an ^aholy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.
 10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the ^aname of the LORD; and they shall be ^bafraid of thee.
 11 And the LORD shall make thee ^aplenteous in goods, in the ^bfruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
 12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good ^atreasure , the heaven to give the ^brain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not ^cborrow .
 13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
 14 And thou shalt not go ^aaside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other ^bgods to serve them.
 15 ¶ But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not ^ahearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these ^bcurses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
 16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
 17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
 18 Cursed shall be the ^afruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
 19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
 20 The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
 21 The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.
 22 The LORD shall ^asmite thee with a ^bconsumption , and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
 23 And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.
 24 The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
 25 The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
 26 And thy ^acarcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.
 27 The LORD will ^asmite thee with the ^bbotch of Egypt, and with ^cthe ^demerods , and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
 28 The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:
 29 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the ^ablind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not ^bprosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and ^cspoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.
 30 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not ^adwell therein: thou shalt ^bplant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.
 31 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.
 32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no ^amight in thine hand.
 33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:
 34 So that thou shalt be ^amad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
 35 The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.
 36 The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other ^agods , wood and stone.
 37 And thou shalt become an ^aastonishment , a ^bproverb , and a ^cbyword , among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
 38 Thou shalt carry much ^aseed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.
 39 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.
 40 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not ^aanoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.
 41 Thou shalt beget ^asons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.
 42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
 43 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.
 44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
 45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:
 46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
 47 Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with ^ajoyfulness , and with ^bgladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
 48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a ^ayoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
 49 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from ^afar , from the ^bend of the earth, as swift as the ^ceagle flieth; a nation whose ^dtongue thou shalt not understand;
 50 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not ^aregard the person of the ^bold , nor shew favour to the young:
 51 And he shall ^aeat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy ^bland , until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy ^ckine , or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
 52 And he shall ^abesiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
 53 And thou shalt ^aeat the fruit of thine own body, the ^bflesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the ^cstraitness , wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:
 54 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:
 55 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
 56 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
 57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall ^aeat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
 58 If thou wilt not ^aobserve to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful ^bname , ^cTHE LORD THY GOD;
 59 Then the LORD will make thy ^aplagues ^bwonderful , and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore ^csicknesses , and of long continuance.
 60 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the ^adiseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
 61 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
 62 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not ^aobey the voice of the LORD thy God.
 63 And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
 64 And the LORD shall ^ascatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
 65 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and ^asorrow of mind:
 66 And thy life shall hang in ^adoubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:
 67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
 68 And the LORD shall bring thee ^ainto Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
