The Old Testament of the
King James Version of the Bible
The Fifth Book of Moses: Called Deuteronomy
1:1 These be the words which Moses spake
unto all Israel on this side
Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over
against the Red sea,
between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and
Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
1:2 (There are eleven days' journey from
Horeb by the way of mount
Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.) 1:3 And it came to
pass in the fortieth
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; 1:4
After he had slain Sihon
the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in
Heshbon, and Og the king of
Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
1:5 On this side Jordan, in
the land of Moab, began Moses to declare
this law, saying, 1:6 The
LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying,
Ye have dwelt long enough
in this mount: 1:7 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 in the vale, and in
the south, and by the sea
side, to the land of the Canaanites, and
unto Lebanon, unto the great
river, the river Euphrates.
1:8 Behold, I have set the land before you:
go in and possess the land
which the LORD sware unto your fathers,
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to
give unto them and to their seed after them.
1:9 And I spake unto you at that time,
saying, I am not able to bear
you myself alone: 1:10 The LORD your God
hath multiplied you, and,
behold, ye are this day as the stars of
heaven for multitude.
1:11 (The LORD God of your fathers make you
a thousand times so many
more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath
promised you!) 1:12 How can
I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your
burden, and your strife?
1:13 Take you wise men, and understanding,
and known among your
tribes, and I will make them rulers over
you.
1:14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing
which thou hast spoken is
good for us to do.
1:15 So I took the chief of your tribes,
wise men, and known, and made
them heads over you, captains over
thousands, and captains over
hundreds, and captains over fifties, and
captains over tens, and
officers among your tribes.
1:16 And I charged your judges at that time,
saying, Hear the causes
between your brethren, and judge righteously
between every man and his
brother, and the stranger that is with him.
1:17 Ye shall not respect persons in
judgment; but ye shall hear the
small as well as the great; ye shall not be
afraid 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.
1:18 And I commanded you at that time all
the things which ye should
do.
1:19 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
Kadeshbarnea.
1:20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto
the mountain of the
Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give
unto us.
1:21 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.
1:22 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.
1:23 And the saying pleased me well: and I
took twelve men of you, one
of a tribe: 1:24 And they turned and went up
into the mountain, and
came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched
it out.
1:25 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.
1:26 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but
rebelled against the
commandment of the LORD your God: 1:27 And
ye murmured 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.
1:28 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 walled up to heaven; and moreover we
have seen the sons of the
Anakims there.
1:29 Then I said unto you, Dread not,
neither be afraid of them.
1:30 The LORD your God which goeth before
you, he shall fight for you,
according to all that he did for you in
Egypt before your eyes; 1:31
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.
1:32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe
the LORD your God, 1:33 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 cloud by day.
1:34 And the LORD heard the voice of your
words, and was wroth, and
sware, saying, 1:35 Surely there shall not
one of these men of this
evil generation see that good land, which I
sware to give unto your
fathers.
1:36 Save Caleb 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.
1:37 Also the LORD was angry with me for
your sakes, saying, Thou also
shalt not go in thither.
1:38 But Joshua the son of Nun, which
standeth before thee, he shall
go in thither: encourage him: for he shall
cause Israel to inherit it.
1:39 Moreover your little ones, which ye
said should be a prey, and
your children, which in that day had no
knowledge between good and
evil, they shall go in thither, and unto
them will I give it, and they
shall possess it.
1:40 But as for you, turn you, and take your
journey into the
wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
1:41 Then ye answered and said unto me, We
have sinned 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.
1:42 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.
1:43 So I spake unto you; and ye would not
hear, but rebelled against
the commandment of the LORD, and went
presumptuously up into the hill.
1:44 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that
mountain, came out against
you, and chased you, as bees do, and
destroyed you in Seir, even unto
Hormah.
1:45 And ye returned and wept before the
LORD; but the LORD would not
hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto
you.
1:46 So ye abode in Kadesh many days,
according unto the days that ye
abode there.
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 called 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.
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 shew 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.
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 shewed, 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 shewed 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
sunrising; 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 sunrising; 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.
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 shew 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 shewing
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
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.
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.
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 shewed
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.
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 shew 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 therin: 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. |
