20:1 When thou goest out to battle against
thine enemies, and seest
horses, and chariots, and a people more than
thou, be not afraid of
them: for the LORD thy God is with thee,
which brought thee up out of
the land of Egypt.
20:2 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh
unto the battle, that the
priest shall approach and speak unto the
people, 20:3 And shall say
unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this
day unto battle against
your enemies: let not your hearts faint,
fear not, and do not tremble,
neither be ye terrified because of them;
20:4 For the LORD your God is
he that goeth with you, to fight for you
against your enemies, to save
you.
20:5 And the officers shall speak unto the
people, saying, What man is
there that hath built a new house, and hath
not dedicated it? let him
go and return to his house, lest he die in
the battle, and another man
dedicate it.
20:6 And what man is he that hath planted a
vineyard, and hath not yet
eaten of it? let him also go and return unto
his house, lest he die in
the battle, and another man eat of it.
20:7 And what man is there that hath
betrothed a wife, and hath not
taken her? let him go and return unto his
house, lest he die in the
battle, and another man take her.
20:8 And the officers shall speak further
unto the people, and they
shall say, What man is there that is fearful
and fainthearted? let him
go and return unto his house, lest his
brethren's heart faint as well
as his heart.
20:9 And it shall be, when the officers have
made an end of speaking
unto the people that they shall make
captains of the armies to lead
the people.
20:10 When thou comest nigh unto a city to
fight against it, then
proclaim peace unto it.
20:11 And it shall be, if it make thee
answer of peace, and open unto
thee, then it shall be, that all the people
that is found therein
shall be tributaries unto thee, and they
shall serve thee.
20:12 And if it will make no peace with
thee, but will make war
against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:
20:13 And when the LORD thy
God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou
shalt smite every male
thereof with the edge of the sword: 20:14
But the women, and the
little ones, and the cattle, and all that is
in the city, even all the
spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself;
and thou shalt eat the
spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy
God hath given thee.
20:15 Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities
which are very far off
from thee, which are not of the cities of
these nations.
20:16 But of the cities of these people,
which the LORD thy God doth
give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt
save alive nothing that
breatheth: 20:17 But thou shalt utterly
destroy them; namely, the
Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites,
and the Perizzites, the
Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy
God hath commanded thee:
20:18 That they teach you not to do after
all their abominations,
which they have done unto their gods; so
should ye sin against the
LORD your God.
20:19 When thou shalt besiege a city a long
time, in making war
against it to take it, thou shalt not
destroy the trees thereof by
forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest
eat of them, and thou
shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the
field is man's life) to
employ them in the siege: 20:20 Only the
trees which thou knowest that
they be not trees for meat, thou shalt
destroy and cut them down; and
thou shalt build bulwarks against the city
that maketh war with thee,
until it be subdued.
21:1 If one be found slain in the land which
the LORD thy God giveth
thee to possess it, lying in the field, and
it be not known who hath
slain him: 21:2 Then thy elders and thy
judges shall come forth, and
they shall measure unto the cities which are
round about him that is
slain: 21:3 And it shall be, that the city
which is next unto the
slain man, even the elders of that city
shall take an heifer, which
hath not been wrought with, and which hath
not drawn in the yoke; 21:4
And the elders of that city shall bring down
the heifer unto a rough
valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and
shall strike off the
heifer's neck there in the valley: 21:5 And
the priests the sons of
Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy
God hath chosen to
minister unto him, and to bless in the name
of the LORD; and by their
word shall every controversy and every
stroke be tried: 21:6 And all
the elders of that city, that are next unto
the slain man, shall wash
their hands over the heifer that is beheaded
in the valley: 21:7 And
they shall answer and say, Our hands have
not shed this blood, neither
have our eyes seen it.
21:8 Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people
Israel, whom thou hast
redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto
thy people of Israel's
charge. And the blood shall be forgiven
them.
21:9 So shalt thou put away the guilt of
innocent blood from among
you, when thou shalt do that which is right
in the sight of the LORD.
21:10 When thou goest forth to war against
thine enemies, and the LORD
thy God hath delivered them into thine
hands, and thou hast taken them
captive, 21:11 And seest among the captives
a beautiful woman, and
hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest
have her to thy wife; 21:12
Then thou shalt bring her home to thine
house, and she shall shave her
head, and pare her nails; 21:13 And she
shall put the raiment of her
captivity from off her, and shall remain in
thine house, and bewail
her father and her mother a full month: and
after that thou shalt go
in unto her, and be her husband, and she
shall be thy wife.
21:14 And it shall be, if thou have no
delight in her, then thou shalt
let her go whither she will; but thou shalt
not sell her at all for
money, thou shalt not make merchandise of
her, because thou hast
humbled her.
21:15 If a man have two wives, one beloved,
and another hated, and
they have born him children, both the
beloved and the hated; and if
the firstborn son be hers that was hated:
21:16 Then it shall be, when
he maketh his sons to inherit that which he
hath, that he may not make
the son of the beloved firstborn before the
son of the hated, which is
indeed the firstborn: 21:17 But he shall
acknowledge the son of the
hated for the firstborn, by giving him a
double portion of all that he
hath: for he is the beginning of his
strength; the right of the
firstborn is his.
21:18 If a man have a stubborn and
rebellious son, which will not obey
the voice of his father, or the voice of his
mother, and that, when
they have chastened him, will not hearken
unto them: 21:19 Then shall
his father and his mother lay hold on him,
and bring him out unto the
elders of his city, and unto the gate of his
place; 21:20 And they
shall say unto the elders of his city, This
our son is stubborn and
rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he
is a glutton, and a
drunkard.
21:21 And all the men of his city shall
stone him with stones, that he
die: so shalt thou put evil away from among
you; and all Israel shall
hear, and fear.
21:22 And if a man have committed a sin
worthy of death, and he be to
be put to death, and thou hang him on a
tree: 21:23 His body shall not
remain all night upon the tree, but thou
shalt in any wise bury him
that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed
of God;) that thy land be
not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth
thee for an inheritance.
22:1 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or
his sheep go astray, and
hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any
case bring them again unto
thy brother.
22:2 And if thy brother be not nigh unto
thee, or if thou know him
not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own
house, and it shall be
with thee until thy brother seek after it,
and thou shalt restore it
to him again.
22:3 In like manner shalt thou do with his
ass; and so shalt thou do
with his raiment; and with all lost thing of
thy brother's, which he
hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou
do likewise: thou mayest
not hide thyself.
22:4 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or
his ox fall down by the
way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt
surely help him to lift
them up again.
22:5 The woman shall not wear that which
pertaineth unto a man,
neither shall a man put on a woman's
garment: for all that do so are
abomination unto the LORD thy God.
22:6 If a bird's nest chance to be before
thee in the way in any tree,
or on the ground, whether they be young
ones, or eggs, and the dam
sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs,
thou shalt not take the dam
with the young: 22:7 But thou shalt in any
wise let the dam go, and
take the young to thee; that it may be well
with thee, and that thou
mayest prolong thy days.
22:8 When thou buildest a new house, then
thou shalt make a battlement
for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon
thine house, if any man
fall from thence.
22:9 Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with
divers seeds: lest the fruit
of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the
fruit of thy vineyard, be
defiled.
22:10 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an
ass together.
22:11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of
divers sorts, as of woollen and
linen together.
22:12 Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the
four quarters of thy
vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.
22:13 If any man take a wife, and go in unto
her, and hate her, 22:14
And give occasions of speech against her,
and bring up an evil name
upon her, and say, I took this woman, and
when I came to her, I found
her not a maid: 22:15 Then shall the father
of the damsel, and her
mother, take and bring forth the tokens of
the damsel's virginity unto
the elders of the city in the gate: 22:16
And the damsel's father
shall say unto the elders, I gave my
daughter unto this man to wife,
and he hateth her; 22:17 And, lo, he hath
given occasions of speech
against her, saying, I found not thy
daughter a maid; and yet these
are the tokens of my daughter's virginity.
And they shall spread the
cloth before the elders of the city.
22:18 And the elders of that city shall take
that man and chastise
him; 22:19 And they shall amerce him in an
hundred shekels of silver,
and give them unto the father of the damsel,
because he hath brought
up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and
she shall be his wife; he
may not put her away all his days.
22:20 But if this thing be true, and the
tokens of virginity be not
found for the damsel: 22:21 Then they shall
bring out the damsel to
the door of her father's house, and the men
of her city shall stone
her with stones that she die: because she
hath wrought folly in
Israel, to play the whore in her father's
house: so shalt thou put
evil away from among you.
22:22 If a man be found lying with a woman
married to an husband, then
they shall both of them die, both the man
that lay with the woman, and
the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from
Israel.
22:23 If a damsel that is a virgin be
betrothed unto an husband, and a
man find her in the city, and lie with her;
22:24 Then ye shall bring
them both out unto the gate of that city,
and ye shall stone them with
stones that they die; the damsel, because
she cried not, being in the
city; and the man, because he hath humbled
his neighbour's wife: so
thou shalt put away evil from among you.
22:25 But if a man find a betrothed damsel
in the field, and the man
force her, and lie with her: then the man
only that lay with her shall
die.
22:26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do
nothing; there is in the
damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a
man riseth against his
neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this
matter: 22:27 For he found
her in the field, and the betrothed damsel
cried, and there was none
to save her.
22:28 If a man find a damsel that is a
virgin, which is not betrothed,
and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and
they be found; 22:29 Then
the man that lay with her shall give unto
the damsel's father fifty
shekels of silver, and she shall be his
wife; because he hath humbled
her, he may not put her away all his days.
22:30 A man shall not take his father's
wife, nor discover his
father's skirt.
23:1 He that is wounded in the stones, or
hath his privy member cut
off, shall not enter into the congregation
of the LORD.
23:2 A bastard shall not enter into the
congregation of the LORD; even
to his tenth generation shall he not enter
into the congregation of
the LORD.
23:3 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter
into the congregation of
the LORD; even to their tenth generation
shall they not enter into the
congregation of the LORD for ever: 23:4
Because they met you not with
bread and with water in the way, when ye
came forth out of Egypt; and
because they hired against thee Balaam the
son of Beor of Pethor of
Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
23:5 Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not
hearken unto Balaam; but
the LORD thy God turned the curse into a
blessing unto thee, because
the LORD thy God loved thee.
23:6 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor
their prosperity all thy days
for ever.
23:7 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he
is thy brother: thou
shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou
wast a stranger in his land.
23:8 The children that are begotten of them
shall enter into the
congregation of the LORD in their third
generation.
23:9 When the host goeth forth against thine
enemies, then keep thee
from every wicked thing.
23:10 If there be among you any man, that is
not clean by reason of
uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then
shall he go abroad out of
the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
23:11 But it shall be,
when evening cometh on, he shall wash
himself with water: and when the
sun is down, he shall come into the camp
again.
23:12 Thou shalt have a place also without
the camp, whither thou
shalt go forth abroad: 23:13 And thou shalt
have a paddle upon thy
weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease
thyself abroad, thou
shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and
cover that which cometh
from thee: 23:14 For the LORD thy God
walketh in the midst of thy
camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine
enemies before thee;
therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he
see no unclean thing in
thee, and turn away from thee.
23:15 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master
the servant which is
escaped from his master unto thee: 23:16 He
shall dwell with thee,
even among you, in that place which he shall
choose in one of thy
gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt
not oppress him.
23:17 There shall be no whore of the
daughters of Israel, nor a
sodomite of the sons of Israel.
23:18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a
whore, or the price of a dog,
into the house of the LORD thy God for any
vow: for even both these
are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
23:19 Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy
brother; usury of money,
usury of victuals, usury of any thing that
is lent upon usury: 23:20
Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury;
but unto thy brother thou
shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy
God may bless thee in all
that thou settest thine hand to in the land
whither thou goest to
possess it.
23:21 When thou shalt vow a vow unto the
LORD thy God, thou shalt not
slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will
surely require it of thee;
and it would be sin in thee.
23:22 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it
shall be no sin in thee.
23:23 That which is gone out of thy lips
thou shalt keep and perform;
even a freewill offering, according as thou
hast vowed unto the LORD
thy God, which thou hast promised with thy
mouth.
23:24 When thou comest into thy neighbour's
vineyard, then thou mayest
eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure;
but thou shalt not put any
in thy vessel.
23:25 When thou comest into the standing
corn of thy neighbour, then
thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand;
but thou shalt not move a
sickle unto thy neighbour's standing corn.
24:1 When a man hath taken a wife, and
married her, and it come to
pass that she find no favour in his eyes,
because he hath found some
uncleanness in her: then let him write her a
bill of divorcement, and
give it in her hand, and send her out of his
house.
24:2 And when she is departed out of his
house, she may go and be
another man's wife.
24:3 And if the latter husband hate her, and
write her a bill of
divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and
sendeth her out of his
house; or if the latter husband die, which
took her to be his wife;
24:4 Her former husband, which sent her
away, may not take her again
to be his wife, after that she is defiled;
for that is abomination
before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause
the land to sin, which the
LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
24:5 When a man hath taken a new wife, he
shall not go out to war,
neither shall he be charged with any
business: but he shall be free at
home one year, and shall cheer up his wife
which he hath taken.
24:6 No man shall take the nether or the
upper millstone to pledge:
for he taketh a man's life to pledge.
24:7 If a man be found stealing any of his
brethren of the children of
Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or
selleth him; then that thief
shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from
among you.
24:8 Take heed in the plague of leprosy,
that thou observe diligently,
and do according to all that the priests the
Levites shall teach you:
as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to
do.
24:9 Remember what the LORD thy God did unto
Miriam by the way, after
that ye were come forth out of Egypt.
24:10 When thou dost lend thy brother any
thing, thou shalt not go
into his house to fetch his pledge.
24:11 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man
to whom thou dost lend
shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
24:12 And if the man be poor, thou shalt not
sleep with his pledge:
24:13 In any case thou shalt deliver him the
pledge again when the sun
goeth down, that he may sleep in his own
raiment, and bless thee: and
it shall be righteousness unto thee before
the LORD thy God.
24:14 Thou shalt not oppress an hired
servant that is poor and needy,
whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy
strangers that are in thy
land within thy gates: 24:15 At his day thou
shalt give him his hire,
neither shall the sun go down upon it; for
he is poor, and setteth his
heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto
the LORD, and it be sin
unto thee.
24:16 The fathers shall not be put to death
for the children, neither
shall the children be put to death for the
fathers: every man shall be
put to death for his own sin.
24:17 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of
the stranger, nor of the
fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to
pledge: 24:18 But thou shalt
remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt,
and the LORD thy God
redeemed thee thence: therefore I command
thee to do this thing.
24:19 When thou cuttest down thine harvest
in thy field, and hast
forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not
go again to fetch it: it
shall be for the stranger, for the
fatherless, and for the widow: that
the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the
work of thine hands.
24:20 When thou beatest thine olive tree,
thou shalt not go over the
boughs again: it shall be for the stranger,
for the fatherless, and
for the widow.
24:21 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy
vineyard, thou shalt not
glean it afterward: it shall be for the
stranger, for the fatherless,
and for the widow.
24:22 And thou shalt remember that thou wast
a bondman in the land of
Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this
thing.
25:1 If there be a controversy between men,
and they come unto
judgment, that the judges may judge them;
then they shall justify the
righteous, and condemn the wicked.
25:2 And it shall be, if the wicked man be
worthy to be beaten, that
the judge shall cause him to lie down, and
to be beaten before his
face, according to his fault, by a certain
number.
25:3 Forty stripes he may give him, and not
exceed: lest, if he should
exceed, and beat him above these with many
stripes, then thy brother
should seem vile unto thee.
25:4 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he
treadeth out the corn.
25:5 If brethren dwell together, and one of
them die, and have no
child, the wife of the dead shall not marry
without unto a stranger:
her husband's brother shall go in unto her,
and take her to him to
wife, and perform the duty of an husband's
brother unto her.
25:6 And it shall be, that the firstborn
which she beareth shall
succeed in the name of his brother which is
dead, that his name be not
put out of Israel.
25:7 And if the man like not to take his
brother's wife, then let his
brother's wife go up to the gate unto the
elders, and say, My
husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto
his brother a name in
Israel, he will not perform the duty of my
husband's brother.
25:8 Then the elders of his city shall call
him, and speak unto him:
and if he stand to it, and say, I like not
to take her; 25:9 Then
shall his brother's wife come unto him in
the presence of the elders,
and loose his shoe from off his foot, and
spit in his face, and shall
answer and say, So shall it be done unto
that man that will not build
up his brother's house.
25:10 And his name shall be called in
Israel, The house of him that
hath his shoe loosed.
25:11 When men strive together one with
another, and the wife of the
one draweth near for to deliver her husband
out of the hand of him
that smiteth him, and putteth forth her
hand, and taketh him by the
secrets: 25:12 Then thou shalt cut off her
hand, thine eye shall not
pity her.
25:13 Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers
weights, a great and a
small.
25:14 Thou shalt not have in thine house
divers measures, a great and
a small.
25:15 But thou shalt have a perfect and just
weight, a perfect and
just measure shalt thou have: that thy days
may be lengthened in the
land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
25:16 For all that do such things, and all
that do unrighteously, are
an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
25:17 Remember what Amalek did unto thee by
the way, when ye were come
forth out of Egypt; 25:18 How he met thee by
the way, and smote the
hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble
behind thee, when thou
wast faint and weary; and he feared not God.
25:19 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD
thy God hath given thee
rest from all thine enemies round about, in
the land which the LORD
thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to
possess it, that thou shalt
blot out the remembrance of Amalek from
under heaven; thou shalt not
forget it.
26:1 And it shall be, when thou art come in
unto the land which the
LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance,
and possessest it, and
dwellest therein; 26:2 That thou shalt take
of the first of all the
fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring
of thy land that the LORD
thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a
basket, and shalt go unto
the place which the LORD thy God shall
choose to place his name there.
26:3 And thou shalt go unto the priest that
shall be in those days,
and say unto him, I profess this day unto
the LORD thy God, that I am
come unto the country which the LORD sware
unto our fathers for to
give us.
26:4 And the priest shall take the basket
out of thine hand, and set
it down before the altar of the LORD thy
God.
26:5 And thou shalt speak and say before the
LORD thy God, A Syrian
ready to perish was my father, and he went
down into Egypt, and
sojourned there with a few, and became there
a nation, great, mighty,
and populous: 26:6 And the Egyptians evil
entreated us, and afflicted
us, and laid upon us hard bondage: 26:7 And
when we cried unto the
LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our
voice, and looked on our
affliction, and our labour, and our
oppression: 26:8 And the LORD
brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty
hand, and with an
outstretched arm, and with great
terribleness, and with signs, and
with wonders: 26:9 And he hath brought us
into this place, and hath
given us this land, even a land that floweth
with milk and honey.
26:10 And now, behold, I have brought the
firstfruits of the land,
which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou
shalt set it before the
LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD
thy God: 26:11 And thou
shalt rejoice in every good thing which the
LORD thy God hath given
unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and
the Levite, and the
stranger that is among you.
26:12 When thou hast made an end of tithing
all the tithes of thine
increase the third year, which is the year
of tithing, and hast given
it unto the Levite, the stranger, the
fatherless, and the widow, that
they may eat within thy gates, and be
filled; 26:13 Then thou shalt
say before the LORD thy God, I have brought
away the hallowed things
out of mine house, and also have given them
unto the Levite, and unto
the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the
widow, according to all
thy commandments which thou hast commanded
me: I have not transgressed
thy commandments, neither have I forgotten
them.
26:14 I have not eaten thereof in my
mourning, neither have I taken
away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor
given ought thereof for
the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice
of the LORD my God, and
have done according to all that thou hast
commanded me.
26:15 Look down from thy holy habitation,
from heaven, and bless thy
people Israel, and the land which thou hast
given us, as thou swarest
unto our fathers, a land that floweth with
milk and honey.
26:16 This day the LORD thy God hath
commanded thee to do these
statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore
keep and do them with all
thine heart, and with all thy soul.
26:17 Thou hast avouched the LORD this day
to be thy God, and to walk
in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and
his commandments, and his
judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:
26:18 And the LORD hath
avouched thee this day to be his peculiar
people, as he hath promised
thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his
commandments; 26:19 And to
make thee high above all nations which he
hath made, in praise, and in
name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be
an holy people unto the
LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.
27:1 And Moses with the elders of Israel
commanded the people, saying,
Keep all the commandments which I command
you this day.
27:2 And it shall be on the day when ye
shall pass over Jordan unto
the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee,
that thou shalt set thee
up great stones, and plaister them with
plaister: 27:3 And thou shalt
write upon them all the words of this law,
when thou art passed over,
that thou mayest go in unto the land which
the LORD thy God giveth
thee, a land that floweth with milk and
honey; as the LORD God of thy
fathers hath promised thee.
27:4 Therefore it shall be when ye be gone
over Jordan, that ye shall
set up these stones, which I command you
this day, in mount Ebal, and
thou shalt plaister them with plaister.
27:5 And there shalt thou build an altar
unto the LORD thy God, an
altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any
iron tool upon them.
27:6 Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD
thy God of whole stones:
and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon
unto the LORD thy God:
27:7 And thou shalt offer peace offerings,
and shalt eat there, and
rejoice before the LORD thy God.
27:8 And thou shalt write upon the stones
all the words of this law
very plainly.
27:9 And Moses and the priests the Levites
spake unto all Israel,
saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel;
this day thou art become the
people of the LORD thy God.
27:10 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of
the LORD thy God, and do
his commandments and his statutes, which I
command thee this day.
27:11 And Moses charged the people the same
day, saying, 27:12 These
shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the
people, when ye are come
over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah,
and Issachar, and Joseph,
and Benjamin: 27:13 And these shall stand
upon mount Ebal to curse;
Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan,
and Naphtali.
27:14 And the Levites shall speak, and say
unto all the men of Israel
with a loud voice, 27:15 Cursed be the man
that maketh any graven or
molten image, an abomination unto the LORD,
the work of the hands of
the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret
place. And all the people
shall answer and say, Amen.
27:16 Cursed be he that setteth light by his
father or his mother. And
all the people shall say, Amen.
27:17 Cursed be he that removeth his
neighbour's landmark. And all the
people shall say, Amen.
27:18 Cursed be he that maketh the blind to
wander out of the way. And
all the people shall say, Amen.
27:19 Cursed be he that perverteth the
judgment of the stranger,
fatherless, and widow. And all the people
shall say, Amen.
27:20 Cursed be he that lieth with his
father's wife; because he
uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the
people shall say, Amen.
27:21 Cursed be he that lieth with any
manner of beast. And all the
people shall say, Amen.
27:22 Cursed be he that lieth with his
sister, the daughter of his
father, or the daughter of his mother. And
all the people shall say,
Amen.
27:23 Cursed be he that lieth with his
mother in law. And all the
people shall say, Amen.
27:24 Cursed be he that smiteth his
neighbour secretly. And all the
people shall say, Amen.
27:25 Cursed be he that taketh reward to
slay an innocent person. And
all the people shall say, Amen.
27:26 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all
the words of this law to do
them. And all the people shall say, Amen.
28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou
shalt hearken diligently unto
the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe
and to do all his
commandments which I command thee this day,
that the LORD thy God will
set thee on high above all nations of the
earth: 28:2 And all these
blessings shall come on thee, and overtake
thee, if thou shalt hearken
unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
28:3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and
blessed shalt thou be in
the field.
28:4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body,
and the fruit of thy
ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the
increase of thy kine, and the
flocks of thy sheep.
28:5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy
store.
28:6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest
in, and blessed shalt thou
be when thou goest out.
28:7 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that
rise up against thee to
be smitten before thy face: they shall come
out against thee one way,
and flee before thee seven ways.
28:8 The LORD shall command the blessing
upon thee in thy storehouses,
and in all that thou settest thine hand
unto; and he shall bless thee
in the land which the LORD thy God giveth
thee.
28:9 The LORD shall establish thee an holy
people unto himself, as he
hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the
commandments of the LORD
thy God, and walk in his ways.
28:10 And all people of the earth shall see
that thou art called by
the name of the LORD; and they shall be
afraid of thee.
28:11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous
in goods, in the fruit of
thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle,
and in the fruit of thy
ground, in the land which the LORD sware
unto thy fathers to give
thee.
28:12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good
treasure, the heaven to
give the rain unto thy land in his season,
and to bless all the work
of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many
nations, and thou shalt
not borrow.
28:13 And the LORD shall make thee the head,
and not the tail; and
thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not
be beneath; if that thou
hearken unto the commandments of the LORD
thy God, which I command
thee this day, to observe and to do them:
28:14 And thou shalt not go
aside from any of the words which I command
thee this day, to the
right hand, or to the left, to go after
other gods to serve them.
28:15 But it shall come to pass, if thou
wilt not hearken unto the
voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do
all his commandments and
his statutes which I command thee this day;
that all these curses
shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
28:16 Cursed shalt thou be in
the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the
field.
28:17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy
store.
28:18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body,
and the fruit of thy
land, the increase of thy kine, and the
flocks of thy sheep.
28:19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest
in, and cursed shalt thou
be when thou goest out.
28:20 The LORD shall send upon thee cursing,
vexation, and rebuke, in
all that thou settest thine hand unto for to
do, until thou be
destroyed, and until thou perish quickly;
because of the wickedness of
thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
28:21 The LORD shall make the pestilence
cleave unto thee, until he
have consumed thee from off the land,
whither thou goest to possess
it.
28:22 The LORD shall smite thee with a
consumption, and with a fever,
and with an inflammation, and with an
extreme burning, and with the
sword, and with blasting, and with mildew;
and they shall pursue thee
until thou perish.
28:23 And thy heaven that is over thy head
shall be brass, and the
earth that is under thee shall be iron.
28:24 The LORD shall make the rain of thy
land powder and dust: from
heaven shall it come down upon thee, until
thou be destroyed.
28:25 The LORD shall cause thee to be
smitten before thine enemies:
thou shalt go out one way against them, and
flee seven ways before
them: and shalt be removed into all the
kingdoms of the earth.
28:26 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all
fowls of the air, and
unto the beasts of the earth, and no man
shall fray them away.
28:27 The LORD will smite thee with the
botch of Egypt, and with the
emerods, and with the scab, and with the
itch, whereof thou canst not
be healed.
28:28 The LORD shall smite thee with
madness, and blindness, and
astonishment of heart: 28:29 And thou shalt
grope at noonday, as the
blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt
not prosper in thy ways: and
thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled
evermore, and no man shall
save thee.
28:30 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another
man shall lie with her:
thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt
not dwell therein: thou
shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather
the grapes thereof.
28:31 Thine ox shall be slain before thine
eyes, and thou shalt not
eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently
taken away from before thy
face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy
sheep shall be given unto
thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to
rescue them.
28:32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be
given unto another people,
and thine eyes shall look, and fail with
longing for them all the day
long; and there shall be no might in thine
hand.
28:33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy
labours, shall a nation which
thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be
only oppressed and crushed
alway: 28:34 So that thou shalt be mad for
the sight of thine eyes
which thou shalt see.
28:35 The LORD shall smite thee in the
knees, and in the legs, with a
sore botch that cannot be healed, from the
sole of thy foot unto the
top of thy head.
28:36 The LORD shall bring thee, and thy
king which thou shalt set
over thee, unto a nation which neither thou
nor thy fathers have
known; and there shalt thou serve other
gods, wood and stone.
28:37 And thou shalt become an astonishment,
a proverb, and a byword,
among all nations whither the LORD shall
lead thee.
28:38 Thou shalt carry much seed out into
the field, and shalt gather
but little in; for the locust shall consume
it.
28:39 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress
them, but shalt neither
drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes;
for the worms shall eat
them.
28:40 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout
all thy coasts, but thou
shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for
thine olive shall cast his
fruit.
28:41 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters,
but thou shalt not enjoy
them; for they shall go into captivity.
28:42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land
shall the locust consume.
28:43 The stranger that is within thee shall
get up above thee very
high; and thou shalt come down very low.
28:44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt
not lend to him: he shall
be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
28:45 Moreover all these curses shall come
upon thee, and shall pursue
thee, and overtake thee, till thou be
destroyed; because thou
hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD
thy God, to keep his
commandments and his statutes which he
commanded thee: 28:46 And they
shall be upon thee for a sign and for a
wonder, and upon thy seed for
ever.
28:47 Because thou servedst not the LORD thy
God with joyfulness, and
with gladness of heart, for the abundance of
all things; 28:48
Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies
which the LORD shall send
against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and
in nakedness, and in want
of all things: and he shall put a yoke of
iron upon thy neck, until he
have destroyed thee.
28:49 The LORD shall bring a nation against
thee from far, from the
end of the earth, as swift as the eagle
flieth; a nation whose tongue
thou shalt not understand; 28:50 A nation of
fierce countenance, which
shall not regard the person of the old, nor
shew favour to the young:
28:51 And he shall eat the fruit of thy
cattle, and the fruit of thy
land, until thou be destroyed: which also
shall not leave thee either
corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy
kine, or flocks of thy
sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
28:52 And he shall besiege thee in all thy
gates, until thy high and
fenced walls come down, wherein thou
trustedst, throughout all thy
land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy
gates throughout all thy
land, which the LORD thy God hath given
thee.
28:53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine
own body, the flesh of thy
sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD
thy God hath given thee, in
the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith
thine enemies shall
distress thee: 28:54 So that the man that is
tender among you, and
very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward
his brother, and toward
the wife of his bosom, and toward the
remnant of his children which he
shall leave: 28:55 So that he will not give
to any of them of the
flesh of his children whom he shall eat:
because he hath nothing left
him in the siege, and in the straitness,
wherewith thine enemies shall
distress thee in all thy gates.
28:56 The tender and delicate woman among
you, which would not
adventure to set the sole of her foot upon
the ground for delicateness
and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward
the husband of her bosom,
and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
28:57 And toward her
young one that cometh out from between her
feet, and toward her
children which she shall bear: for she shall
eat them for want of all
things secretly in the siege and straitness,
wherewith thine enemy
shall distress thee in thy gates.
28:58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the
words of this law that
are written in this book, that thou mayest
fear this glorious and
fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; 28:59 Then
the LORD will make thy
plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy
seed, even great plagues,
and of long continuance, and sore
sicknesses, and of long continuance.
28:60 Moreover he will bring upon thee all
the diseases of Egypt,
which thou wast afraid of; and they shall
cleave unto thee.
28:61 Also every sickness, and every plague,
which is not written in
the book of this law, them will the LORD
bring upon thee, until thou
be destroyed.
28:62 And ye shall be left few in number,
whereas ye were as the stars
of heaven for multitude; because thou
wouldest not obey the voice of
the LORD thy God.
28:63 And it shall come to pass, that as the
LORD rejoiced over you to
do you good, and to multiply you; so the
LORD will rejoice over you to
destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and
ye shall be plucked from
off the land whither thou goest to possess
it.
28:64 And the LORD shall scatter thee among
all people, from the one
end of the earth even unto the other; and
there thou shalt serve other
gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers
have known, even wood and
stone.
28:65 And among these nations shalt thou
find no ease, neither shall
the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD
shall give thee there a
trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and
sorrow of mind: 28:66 And
thy life shall hang in doubt before thee;
and thou shalt fear day and
night, and shalt have none assurance of thy
life: 28:67 In the morning
thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and
at even thou shalt say,
Would God it were morning! for the fear of
thine heart wherewith thou
shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes
which thou shalt see.
28:68 And the LORD shall bring thee into
Egypt again with ships, by
the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou
shalt see it no more again:
and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies
for bondmen and
bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
29:1 These are the words of the covenant,
which the LORD commanded
Moses to make with the children of Israel in
the land of Moab, beside
the covenant which he made with them in
Horeb.
29:2 And Moses called unto all Israel, and
said unto them, Ye have
seen all that the LORD did before your eyes
in the land of Egypt unto
Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto
all his land; 29:3 The
great temptations which thine eyes have
seen, the signs, and those
great miracles: 29:4 Yet the LORD hath not
given you an heart to
perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear,
unto this day.
29:5 And I have led you forty years in the
wilderness: your clothes
are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is
not waxen old upon thy
foot.
29:6 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have
ye drunk wine or strong
drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD
your God.
29:7 And when ye came unto this place, Sihon
the king of Heshbon, and
Og the king of Bashan, came out against us
unto battle, and we smote
them: 29:8 And we took their land, and gave
it for an inheritance unto
the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to
the half tribe of Manasseh.
29:9 Keep therefore the words of this
covenant, and do them, that ye
may prosper in all that ye do.
29:10 Ye stand this day all of you before
the LORD your God; your
captains of your tribes, your elders, and
your officers, with all the
men of Israel, 29:11 Your little ones, your
wives, and thy stranger
that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy
wood unto the drawer of thy
water: 29:12 That thou shouldest enter into
covenant with the LORD thy
God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy
God maketh with thee this
day: 29:13 That he may establish thee to day
for a people unto
himself, and that he may be unto thee a God,
as he hath said unto
thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers,
to Abraham, to Isaac, and
to Jacob.
29:14 Neither with you only do I make this
covenant and this oath;
29:15 But with him that standeth here with
us this day before the LORD
our God, and also with him that is not here
with us this day: 29:16
(For ye know how we have dwelt in the land
of Egypt; and how we came
through the nations which ye passed by;
29:17 And ye have seen their
abominations, and their idols, wood and
stone, silver and gold, which
were among them:) 29:18 Lest there should be
among you man, or woman,
or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth
away this day from the LORD
our God, to go and serve the gods of these
nations; lest there should
be among you a root that beareth gall and
wormwood; 29:19 And it come
to pass, when he heareth the words of this
curse, that he bless
himself in his heart, saying, I shall have
peace, though I walk in the
imagination of mine heart, to add
drunkenness to thirst: 29:20 The
LORD will not spare him, but then the anger
of the LORD and his
jealousy shall smoke against that man, and
all the curses that are
written in this book shall lie upon him, and
the LORD shall blot out
his name from under heaven.
29:21 And the LORD shall separate him unto
evil out of all the tribes
of Israel, according to all the curses of
the covenant that are
written in this book of the law: 29:22 So
that the generation to come
of your children that shall rise up after
you, and the stranger that
shall come from a far land, shall say, when
they see the plagues of
that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD
hath laid upon it; 29:23
And that the whole land thereof is
brimstone, and salt, and burning,
that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any
grass groweth therein, like
the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah,
and Zeboim, which the
LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his
wrath: 29:24 Even all nations
shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus
unto this land? what
meaneth the heat of this great anger? 29:25
Then men shall say,
Because they have forsaken the covenant of
the LORD God of their
fathers, which he made with them when he
brought them forth out of the
land of Egypt: 29:26 For they went and
served other gods, and
worshipped them, gods whom they knew not,
and whom he had not given
unto them: 29:27 And the anger of the LORD
was kindled against this
land, to bring upon it all the curses that
are written in this book:
29:28 And the LORD rooted them out of their
land in anger, and in
wrath, and in great indignation, and cast
them into another land, as
it is this day.
29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD
our God: but those things
which are revealed belong unto us and to our
children for ever, that
we may do all the words of this law. |
