   Deuteronomy 13   
   [1] If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth   
   thee a sign or a wonder,   
   [2] And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee,   
   saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us   
   serve them;   
   [3] Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of   
   dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD   
   your God with all your heart and with all your soul. [4] Ye shall walk 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 death;   
   because he hath spoken to turn 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   
   thrust 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 son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom,   
   or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice 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 consent 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 first 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 fear, 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 Belial,   
   are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city,   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 there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand: that the   
   LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, 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.   
      
   Deuteronomy 14   
   [1] Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor   
   make any baldness between your eyes for the dead. [2] for thou art an holy   
   people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar   
   people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.   
   [3] Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing. [4] These are the beasts which ye   
   shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,   
   [5] The hart, and the roebuck, 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 cleaveth 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 ossifrage, and the ospray,   
   [13] And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind, [14] And   
   every raven after his kind, [15] And the owl, and the night hawk, and the   
   cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,   
   [16] The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan, [17] And the pelican,   
   and the gier eagle, and the cormorant, [18] And the stork, and the heron after   
   her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.   
   [19] And every creeping 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 give it unto the stranger that is in thy   
   gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art   
   an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his   
   mother's milk. [22] Thou shalt truly tithe 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 tithe 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 widow, 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.   
      
   Deuteronomy 15   
   [1] At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release. [2] And this is   
   the manner of the release: 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] Save 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 borrow; 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 gates in thy land which the LORD   
   thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand   
   from thy poor brother: [8] But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and   
   shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth. [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 eye be evil against thy poor   
   brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry 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 hand 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 sold 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 floor,   
   and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee   
   thou shalt give unto him. [15] And thou shalt remember 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 ear 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 worth 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 firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt   
   sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of   
   thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep. [20] Thou shalt eat it   
   before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose,   
   thou and thy household. [21] And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be   
   lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the   
   LORD thy God. [22] Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean 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.   
      
   Deuteronomy 16   
   [1] Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover 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 passover unto the LORD thy God, of the   
   flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name   
   there.   
   [3] Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat   
   unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest   
   forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: 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 leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven   
   days; neither shall there anything of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the   
   first day at even, remain all night until the morning. [5] Thou mayest not   
   sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, 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 passover at even, at the going down of the sun,   
   at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt. [7] And thou shalt roast   
   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   
   unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn 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 corn. [10] And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks 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   
   blessed 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 bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt   
   observe and do these statutes. [13] Thou shalt observe the feast of   
   tabernacles seven days, after 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] Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God   
   in the place which he shall choose; in the feast 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 give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD   
   thy God which he hath given thee. [18] Judges and officers 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 wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither   
   take a gift: for a gift doth blind 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] Thou 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 image; which the   
   LORD thy God hateth.
