Deuteronomy 4:1 Now therefore hearken,8085 O Israel,3478 unto the statutes2706 and unto the judgments,4941 which I teach3925 you, for to do6213them, that ye may live,2421 and go in935 and possess3423 the land776 which the LORD3068 God430 of your fathers1 giveth5414 you.
2 Ye shall not add3254 unto the word1697 which I command6680 you, neither shall ye diminish1639ought from it, that ye may keep8104 the commandments4687 of the LORD3068 your God430 which I command6680 you.
3 Your eyes5869 have seen7200 what the LORD3068 did6213 because of Baalpeor:1187 for all the men376 that followed3101980 Baalpeor,1187 the LORD3068 thy God430 hath destroyed8045 them from among7130 you.
4 But ye that did cleave1695 unto the LORD3068 your God430are alive2416 every one of you this day.31175 Behold,7200 I have taught3925 you statutes2706 and judgments,4941 even as834 the LORD3068 my God430 commanded6680 me, that ye should do6213 so in7130 the land776 whither ye go935 to possess3423 it.
6 Keep8104 therefore and do6213them; for this is your wisdom2451 and your understanding998 in the sight5869 of the nations,5971 which shall hear8085 all these statutes,2706 and say,559 Surely this great1419 nation1471is a wise2450 and understanding995 people.59717 For what nation1471isthereso great,1419 who hath God430so nigh7138 unto them, as the LORD3068 our God430is in all thingsthat we call7121 upon him for?8 And what nation1471isthereso great,1419 that hath statutes2706 and judgments4941so righteous6662 as all this law,8451 which I set5414 before6440 you this day?31179 Only take heed8104 to thyself, and keep8104 thy soul5315 diligently,3966 lest thou forget7911 the things1697 which thine eyes5869 have seen,7200 and lest they depart5493 from thy heart3824 all the days3117 of thy life:2416 but teach3045 them thy sons,1121 and thy sons'1121 sons;112110Specially the day3117 that thou stoodest5975 before6440 the LORD3068 thy God430 in Horeb,2722 when the LORD3068 said559 unto me, Gather69502794 me the people5971 together,6950 and I will make them hear8085 my words,1697 that they may learn3925 to fear3372 me all the days3117 that they shall live2416 upon the earth,127 and that they may teach3925 their children.112111 And ye came near7126 and stood5975 under the mountain;2022 and the mountain2022 burned1197 with fire784 unto the midst3820{Heb. heart} of heaven,8064 with darkness,6205 clouds,6051 and thick darkness.282212 And the LORD3068 spake1696 unto you out of the midst8432 of the fire:784 ye heard8085 the voice6963 of the words,1697 but saw7200 no similitude;8544 only2108yeheard a voice.6963{Heb. save a voice}13 And he declared5046 unto you his covenant,1285 which he commanded6680 you to perform,6213even ten6235 commandments;1697 and he wrote3789 them upon two8147 tables3871 of stone.68
Deuteronomy 4:14 And the LORD3068 commanded6680 me at that time6256 to teach3925 you statutes2706 and judgments,4941 that ye might do6213 them in the land776 whither ye go over5674 to possess3423 it.
15 Take ye therefore good3966 heed8104 unto yourselves;5315 for ye saw7200 no manner of similitude8544 on the day3117that the LORD3068 spake1696 unto you in Horeb2722 out of the midst8432 of the fire:78416 Lest ye corrupt7843yourselves, and make6213 you a graven image,6459 the similitude8544 of any figure,5566 the likeness8403 of male2145 or female,534717 The likeness8403 of any beast929 that is on the earth,776 the likeness8403 of any winged3671 fowl6833 that flieth5774 in the air,806418 The likeness8403 of any thing that creepeth7430 on the ground,127 the likeness8403 of any fish1710 that is in the waters4325 beneath8478 the earth:77619 And lest thou lift up5375 thine eyes5869 unto heaven,8064 and when thou seest7200 the sun,8121 and the moon,3394 and the stars,3556even all the host6635 of heaven,8064 shouldest be driven5080 to worship7812 them, and serve5647 them, which the LORD3068 thy God430 hath divided2505{Or, imparted} unto all nations5971 under the whole heaven.806420 But the LORD3068 hath taken3947 you, and brought you forth3318 out of the iron1270 furnace,3564even out of Egypt,4714 to be unto him a people5971 of inheritance,5159 as yeare this day.311721 Furthermore the LORD3068 was angry599 with me for your sakes,1697 and sware7650 that I should not go over5674 Jordan,3383 and that I should not go935 in unto that good2896 land,776 which the LORD3068 thy God430 giveth5414 thee for an inheritance:515922 But I must die4191 in this land,776 I must not go over5674 Jordan:3383 but ye shall go over,5674 and possess3423 that good2896 land.77623 Take heed8104 unto yourselves, lest ye forget7911 the covenant1285 of the LORD3068 your God,430 which he made3772 with you, and make6213 you a graven image,6459or the likeness8544 of any3605thing, which the LORD3068 thy God430 hath forbidden6680 thee.
24 For the LORD3068 thy God430is a consuming398 fire,784even a jealous7067 God.410
Deuteronomy 4:25 When thou shalt beget3205 children,1121 and children's1121 children,1121 and ye shall have remained long3462 in the land,776 and shall corrupt7843yourselves, and make6213 a graven image,6459or the likeness8544 of any thing, and shall do6213 evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068 thy God,430 to provoke him to anger:370726 I call57492794 heaven8064 and earth776 to witness5749 against you this day,3117 that ye shall soon4118 utterly6 perish6 from off the land776 whereunto ye go over5674 Jordan3383 to possess3423 it; ye shall not prolong748your days3117 upon it, but shall utterly8045 be destroyed.804527 And the LORD3068 shall scatter6327 you among the nations,5971 and ye shall be left7604 few4962 in number4557 among the heathen,1471 whither the LORD3068 shall lead5090 you.
28 And there ye shall serve5647 gods,430 the work4639 of men's120 hands,3027 wood6086 and stone,68 which neither see,7200 nor hear,8085 nor eat,398 nor smell.730629 But if from thence thou shalt seek1245 the LORD3068 thy God,430 thou shalt find4672him, if thou seek1875 him with all thy heart3824 and with all thy soul.531530 When thou art in tribulation,6862 and all these things1697 are come4672 upon thee,{Heb. have found thee}even in the latter319 days,3117 if thou turn7725 to the LORD3068 thy God,430 and shalt be obedient8085 unto his voice;696331 (For the LORD3068 thy God430is a merciful7349 God;)410 he will not forsake7503 thee, neither destroy7843 thee, nor forget7911 the covenant1285 of thy fathers1 which he sware7650 unto them.
32 For ask7592 now of the days3117 that are past,7223 which were1961 before6440 thee, since the day3117 that God430 created1254 man120 upon the earth,776 and ask from the one side7097 of heaven8064 unto the other, whether there hath been anysuchthing as this great1419 thing1697is, or hath been heard8085 like it?
33 Did ever people5971 hear8085 the voice6963 of God430 speaking out1696 of the midst8432 of the fire,784 as thou hast heard,8085 and live?242134 Or hath God430 assayed5254 to go935and take3947 him a nation1471 from the midst7130 of another nation,1471 by temptations,4531 by signs,226 and by wonders,4159 and by war,4421 and by a mighty2389 hand,3027 and by a stretched out5186 arm,2220 and by great1419 terrors,4172 according to all that the LORD3068 your God430 did6213 for you in Egypt4714 before your eyes?586935 Unto thee it was shewed,7200 that thou mightest know3045 that the LORD3068 he is God;430thereis none else5750 beside him.90536 Out of heaven8064 he made thee to hear8085 his voice,6963 that he might instruct3256 thee: and upon earth776 he shewed7200 thee his great1419 fire;784 and thou heardest8085 his words1697 out of the midst8432 of the fire.78437 And because he loved157 thy fathers,1 therefore he chose977 their seed2233 after310 them, and brought thee out3318 in his sight6440 with his mighty1419 power3581 out of Egypt;471438 To drive out3423 nations1471 from before6440 thee greater1419 and mightier6099 than thou art, to bring935 thee in, to give5414 thee their land776for an inheritance,5159 as itis this day.311739 Know3045 therefore this day,3117 and consider7725it in thine heart,3824 that the LORD3068 he is God430 in heaven8064 above,4605 and upon the earth776 beneath: thereis none else.
40 Thou shalt keep8104 therefore his statutes,2706 and his commandments,4687 which I command6680 thee this day,3117 that it may go well3190 with thee, and with thy children1121 after310 thee, and that thou mayest prolong748thy days3117 upon the earth,127 which the LORD3068 thy God430 giveth5414 thee, for ever.
Deuteronomy 4:41 Then Moses4872 severed914 three7969 cities5892 on this side5676 Jordan3383 toward the sunrising;8121421742 That the slayer7523 might flee5127 thither, which should kill7523 his neighbour7453 unawares,10971847 and hated8130 him not in times8543 past;8032 and that fleeing5127 unto one259 of these411 cities5892 he might live:242543Namely, Bezer1221 in the wilderness,4057 in the plain4334 country,776 of the Reubenites;7206 and Ramoth7216 in Gilead,1568 of the Gadites;1425 and Golan1474 in Bashan,1316 of the Manassites.4520
Deuteronomy 4:44 And this is the law8451 which Moses4872 set7760 before6440 the children1121 of Israel:347845 These are the testimonies,5713 and the statutes,2706 and the judgments,4941 which Moses4872 spake1696 unto the children1121 of Israel,3478 after they came forth3318 out of Egypt,471446 On this side5676 Jordan,3383 in the valley1516 over against4136 Bethpeor,1047 in the land776 of Sihon5511 king4428 of the Amorites,567 who dwelt3427 at Heshbon,2809 whom Moses4872 and the children1121 of Israel3478 smote,5221 after they were come forth3318 out of Egypt:471447 And they possessed3423 his land,776 and the land776 of Og5747 king4428 of Bashan,1316 two8147 kings4428 of the Amorites,567 which were on this side5676 Jordan3383 toward the sunrising;4217812148 From Aroer,6177 which is by the bank8193 of the river5158 Arnon,769 even unto mount2022 Sion,7865 which is Hermon,276849 And all the plain6160 on this side5676 Jordan3383 eastward,4217 even unto the sea3220 of the plain,6160 under the springs794 of Pisgah.6449
