Deuteronomy  |  Top  | Up  |  Down
2:1 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 Seir many
 days.
2:2 And the LORD spake unto me, saying,
2:3 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough:  turn you northward.
2:4 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:
2:5 Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so
 much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a
 possession.
2:6 Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also
 buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.
2:7 For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand:  he
 knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness:  these forty years the
 LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
2:8 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
 Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
2:9 And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend
 with them in battle:  for I will not give thee of their land for a
 possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a
 possession.
2:10 The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and
 tall, as the Anakims;
2:11 Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call
 them Emims.
2:12 The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau
 succeeded 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.
2:13 Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered.  And we went
 over the brook Zered.
2:14 And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come
 over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the
 generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the
 LORD sware unto them.
2:15 For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from
 among the host, until they were consumed.
2:16 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from
 among the people,
2:17 That the LORD spake unto me, saying,
2:18 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:
2:19 And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon,
 distress them not, nor meddle with them:  for I will not give thee of the
 land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it
 unto the children of Lot for a possession.
2:20 (That also was accounted a land of giants:  giants dwelt therein in old
 time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
2:21 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:
2:22 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:
2:23 And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the
 Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in
 their stead. )
2:24 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.
2:25 This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear 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.
2:26 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king
 of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
2:27 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.
2:28 Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water
 for money, that I may drink:  only I will pass through on my feet;
2:29 (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.
2:30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him:  for the LORD
 thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might
 deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.
2:31 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.
2:32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at
 Jahaz.
2:33 And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his
 sons, and all his people.
2:34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men,
 and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:
2:35 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the
 cities which we took.
2:36 From Aroer, 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 delivered all unto us:
2:37 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.

Deuteronomy  |  Top  | Up  |  Down
3:1 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.
3:2 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.
3:3 So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of
 Bashan, and all his people:  and we smote him until none was left to him
 remaining.
3:4 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.
3:5 All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside
 unwalled towns a great many.
3:6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon,
 utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.
3:7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to
 ourselves.
3:8 And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the
 Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon
 unto mount Hermon;
3:9 (Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it
 Shenir;)
3:10 All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto
 Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
3:11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold,
 his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the
 children of Ammon?  nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits
 the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
3:12 And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which
 is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof,
 gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
3:13 And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave
 I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all
 Bashan, which was called the land of giants.
3:14 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto the coasts
 of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own name,
 Bashanhavothjair, unto this day.
3:15 And I gave Gilead unto Machir.
3:16 And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even
 unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the river
 Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;
3:17 The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast thereof, from Chinnereth
 even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under Ashdothpisgah
 eastward.
3:18 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, all that are meet for the war.
3:19 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;
3:20 Until the LORD have given rest 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.
3:21 And I commanded Joshua 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.
3:22 Ye shall not fear them:  for the LORD your God he shall fight for you.
3:23 And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,
3:24 O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness, and thy
 mighty hand:  for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do
 according to thy works, and according to thy might?
3:25 I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond
 Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.
3:26 But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: 
 and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of
 this matter.
3:27 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.
3:28 But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him:  for he shall
 go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land
 which thou shalt see.
3:29 So we abode in the valley over against Bethpeor.

Deuteronomy  |  Top  | Up  |  Down
4:1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the
 judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in
 and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.
4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye
 diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD
 your God which I command you.
4:3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor:  for all the
 men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among
 you.
4:4 But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of
 you this day.
4:5 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.
4:6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your
 understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these
 statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding
 people.
4:7 For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them,
 as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?
4:8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments
 so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
4:9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou
 forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy
 heart all the days of thy life:  but teach them thy sons, and thy sons'
 sons;
4:10 Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in
 Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I
 will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days
 that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their
 children.
4:11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned
 with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick
 darkness.
4:12 And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire:  ye heard the
 voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice.
4:13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to
 perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of
 stone.
4:14 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and
 judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess
 it.
4:15 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:
4:16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the
 similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
4:17 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any
 winged fowl that flieth in the air,
4:18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of
 any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
4:19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the
 sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest
 be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath
 divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
4:20 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 inheritance, as
 ye are this day.
4:21 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I
 should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land,
 which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance:
4:22 But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan:  but ye shall
 go over, and possess that good land.
4:23 Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your
 God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness
 of any thing, which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee.
4:24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
4:25 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 evil in the
 sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger:
4:26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall
 soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to
 possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be
 destroyed.
4:27 And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left
 few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.
4:28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone,
 which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
4:29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find
 him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
4:30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee,
 even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be
 obedient unto his voice;
4:31 (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee,
 neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware
 unto them.
4:32 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?
4:33 Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of
 the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
4:34 Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of
 another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and
 by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors,
 according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your
 eyes?
4:35 Unto thee it was showed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is
 God; there is none else beside him.
4:36 Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct
 thee:  and upon earth he showed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his
 words out of the midst of the fire.
4:37 And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after
 them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;
4:38 To drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou
 art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as
 it is this day.
4:39 Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the
 LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is
 none else.
4:40 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I
 command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children
 after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which
 the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.
4:41 Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sun
 rising;
4:42 That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbour
 unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of
 these cities he might live:
4:43 Namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the
 Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of
 the Manassites.
4:44 And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
4:45 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,
4:46 On this side Jordan, in the valley over against Bethpeor, 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:
4:47 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 sun
 rising;
4:48 From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount
 Sion, which is Hermon,
4:49 And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of
 the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.

Deuteronomy  |  Top  | Up  |  Down
5:1 And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the
 statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may
 learn them, and keep, and do them.
5:2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
5:3 The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even
 us, who are all of us here alive this day.
5:4 The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of
 the fire,
5:5 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the word of
 the LORD:  for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into
 the mount;) saying,
5:6 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt,
 from the house of bondage.
5:7 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
5:8 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:
5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them:  for I the
 LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon
 the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
5:10 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my
 commandments.
5:11 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.
5:12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded
 thee.
5:13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:
5:14 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.
5:15 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.
5:16 Honour 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.
5:17 Thou shalt not kill.
5:18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
5:19 Neither shalt thou steal.
5:20 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.
5:21 Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou
 covet 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.
5:22 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 wrote them in two tables of
 stone, and delivered them unto me.
5:23 And it came to pass, when ye heard 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;
5:24 And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath showed us his glory and his
 greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire:  we
 have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth.
5:25 Now therefore why should we die?  for this great fire will consume us: 
 if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.
5:26 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?
5:27 Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say:  and speak
 thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee; and we will
 hear it, and do it.
5:28 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.
5:29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and
 keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with
 their children for ever!
5:30 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.
5:31 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all
 the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt
 teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to
 possess it.
5:32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded
 you:  ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
5:33 Ye shall walk 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.

Deuteronomy  |  Top  | Up  |  Down
6:1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which
 the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the
 land whither ye go to possess it:
6:2 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 prolonged.
6:3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe 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.
6:4 Hear, O Israel:  The LORD our God is one LORD:
6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all
 thy soul, and with all thy might.
6:6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
6:7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk
 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.
6:8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be
 as frontlets between thine eyes.
6:9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
6:10 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,
6:11 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;
6:12 Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out
 of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
6:13 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his
 name.
6:14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are
 round about you;
6:15 (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of
 the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the
 face of the earth.
6:16 Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
6:17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his
 testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
6:18 And thou shalt do that which is right 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 sware unto thy fathers,
6:19 To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath
 spoken.
6:20 And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the
 testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God
 hath commanded you?
6:21 Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt;
 and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:
6:22 And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon
 Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:
6:23 And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give
 us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
6:24 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD
 our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is
 at this day.
6:25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these
 commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.

Deuteronomy  |  Top  | Up  |  Down
7:1 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 nations greater and
 mightier than thou;
7:2 And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt
 smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with
 them, nor show mercy unto them:
7:3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not
 give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
7:4 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve
 other gods:  so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and
 destroy thee suddenly.
7:5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and
 break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven
 images with fire.
7:6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God:  the LORD thy God
 hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that
 are upon the face of the earth.
7:7 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:
7:8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which
 he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty
 hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of
 Pharaoh king of Egypt.
7:9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God,
 which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his
 commandments to a thousand generations;
7:10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them:  he
 will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
7:11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the
 judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
7:12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and
 keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant
 and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
7:13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee:  he will also
 bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, 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.
7:14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people:  there shall not be male or
 female barren among you, or among your cattle.
7:15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none
 of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay
 them upon all them that hate thee.
7:16 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 gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.
7:17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how
 can I dispossess them?
7:18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them:  but shalt well remember what the
 LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
7:19 The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the
 wonders, 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.
7:20 Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they
 that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
7:21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them:  for the LORD thy God is among
 you, a mighty God and terrible.
7:22 And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little
 and little:  thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the
 field increase upon thee.
7:23 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy
 them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.
7:24 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.
7:25 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.
7:26 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.

8:1 All the commandments which I command 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.
8:2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee
 these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee,
 to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his
 commandments, or no.
8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with
 manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might
 make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word
 that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
8:4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these
 forty years.
8:5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his
 son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
8:6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk
 in his ways, and to fear him.
8:7 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of
 water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
8:8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates;
 a land of oil olive, and honey;
8:9 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 brass.
8:10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy
 God for the good land which he hath given thee.
8:11 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his
 commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee
 this day:
8:12 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses,
 and dwelt therein;
8:13 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy
 gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
8:14 Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which
 brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
8:15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were
 fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who
 brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
8:16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not,
 that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at
 thy latter end;
8:17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath
 gotten me this wealth.
8:18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God:  for it is he that giveth
 thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware
 unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
8:19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk
 after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you
 this day that ye shall surely perish.
8:20 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye
 perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your
 God.

9:1 Hear, O Israel:  Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to
 possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced
 up to heaven,
9:2 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest,
 and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of
 Anak!
9:3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth
 over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall
 bring them down before thy face:  so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy
 them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.
9:4 Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast
 them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath
 brought me in to possess this land:  but for the wickedness of these
 nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.
9:5 Not for thy righteousness, 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.
9:6 Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good
 land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked
 people.
9:7 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 rebellious
 against the LORD.
9:8 Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry
 with you to have destroyed you.
9:9 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 forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink
 water:
9:10 And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the
 finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which
 the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the
 day of the assembly.
9:11 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.
9:12 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 corrupted
 themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I
 commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
9:13 Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people,
 and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
9:14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from
 under heaven:  and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than
 they.
9:15 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.
9:16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned 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.
9:17 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake
 them before your eyes.
9:18 And I fell 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 wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him
 to anger.
9:19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD
 was wroth against you to destroy you.  But the LORD hearkened unto me at
 that time also.
9:20 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him:  and I
 prayed for Aaron also the same time.
9:21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with
 fire, and stamped 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.
9:22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the
 LORD to wrath.
9:23 Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and
 possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the
 commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to
 his voice.
9:24 Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
9:25 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.
9:26 I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy
 people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy
 greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
9:27 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the
 stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
9:28 Lest the land 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.
9:29 Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest
 out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.

10:1 At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like
 unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of
 wood.
10:2 And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables
 which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.
10:3 And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like
 unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine
 hand.
10:4 And he wrote 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.
10:5 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.
10:6 And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the
 children of Jaakan to Mosera:  there Aaron died, and there he was buried;
 and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.
10:7 From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath,
 a land of rivers of waters.
10:8 At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of
 the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him,
 and to bless in his name, unto this day.
10:9 Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD
 is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him.
10:10 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.
10:11 And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the
 people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their
 fathers to give unto them.
10:12 And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to
 fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to
 serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
10:13 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I
 command thee this day for thy good?
10:14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD'S thy God,
 the earth also, with all that therein is.
10:15 Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose
 their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.
10:16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more
 stiffnecked.
10:17 For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great
 God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh
 reward:
10:18 He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth
 the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
10:19 Love ye therefore the stranger:  for ye were strangers in the land of
 Egypt.
10:20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him
 shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
10:21 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these
 great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.
10:22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and
 now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
