Deuteronomy 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. [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.
[3] Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baal-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 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.
[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? [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? [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; [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. [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.
[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. [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. [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.
[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 corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, 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
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. [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.
[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: [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 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. [24] For the LORD thy
God is a consuming fire, even a jealous 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 evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke
him to anger: [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. [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. [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. [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. [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;
[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.
[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 hear the voice of God
speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live? [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? [35] Unto thee it was
shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else
beside him. [36] Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might
instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest
his words out of the midst of the fire. [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; [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.
[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. [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. [41] Then Moses severed three cities on this side
Jordan toward the sunrising;
[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:
[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.
[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 Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon,
[49] And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the
plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
Deuteronomy 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.
[2] The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. [3] The LORD made not
this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here
alive this day. [4] The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of
the midst of the fire,
[5] (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to shew you the work of
the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the
mount;) saying,
[6] I 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 the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, [10] And
shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love 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
sabbath 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] 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. [17] Thou shalt not kill.
[18] Neither shalt thou commit adultery. [19] Neither shalt thou steal.
[20] Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour. [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. [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.
[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; [24] And ye said, Behold,
the LORD our God hath shewed 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. [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. [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
speak thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee; and we
will hear it, and do 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 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!
[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 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.
[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. [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 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:
[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. [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. [4] Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is
one LORD: [5] And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
[6] And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
[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. [8] And thou shalt bind them
for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
[9] And thou shalt write them upon the posts 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 forget the LORD,
which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
[13] Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his
name.
[14] Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are
round about you;
[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.
[16] Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah. [17]
Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his
testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee. [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, [19] To cast out all thine enemies from before
thee, as the LORD hath spoken.
[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?
[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: [22] And the LORD shewed
signs and wonders, great and sore, 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 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.
[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.
