she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her
alive.
22:34 And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I
knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it
displease thee, I will get me back again.
22:35 And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but
only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So
Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
22:36 And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him
unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the
utmost coast.
22:37 And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to
call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to
promote thee to honour?
22:38 And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now
any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my
mouth, that shall I speak.
22:39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth.
22:40 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the
princes that were with him.
22:41 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and
brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see
the utmost part of the people.
23:1 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare
me here seven oxen and seven rams.
23:2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on
every altar a bullock and a ram.
23:3 And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will
go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he
sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.
23:4 And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven
altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram.
23:5 And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto
Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
23:6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice,
he, and all the princes of Moab.
23:7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath
brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come,
curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
23:8 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy,
whom the LORD hath not defied?
23:9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I
behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned
among the nations.
23:10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part
of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be
like his!
23:11 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took
thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them
altogether.
23:12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which
the LORD hath put in my mouth?
23:13 And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another
place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost
part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.
23:14 And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah,
and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
23:15 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I
meet the LORD yonder.
23:16 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go
again unto Balak, and say thus.
23:17 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering,
and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the
LORD spoken?
23:18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear;
hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that
he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he
spoken, and shall he not make it good?
23:20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed;
and I cannot reverse it.
23:21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen
perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a
king is among them.
23:22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of
an unicorn.
23:23 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any
divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of
Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!
23:24 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up
himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey,
and drink the blood of the slain.
23:25 And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless
them at all.
23:26 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying,
All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
23:27 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee
unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest
curse me them from thence.
23:28 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward
Jeshimon.
23:29 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and
prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
23:30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram
on every altar.
24:1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he
went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his
face toward the wilderness.
24:2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his
tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.
24:3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath
said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
24:4 He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of
the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
24:5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!
24:6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's
side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as
cedar trees beside the waters.
24:7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be
in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom
shall be exalted.
24:8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength
of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break
their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
24:9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall
stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that
curseth thee.
24:10 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his
hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine
enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three
times.
24:11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee
unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.
24:12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers
which thou sentest unto me, saying,
24:13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot
go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine
own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?
24:14 And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will
advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter
days.
24:15 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath
said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
24:16 He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge
of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a
trance, but having his eyes open:
24:17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh:
there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of
Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the
children of Sheth.
24:18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession
for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
24:19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall
destroy him that remaineth of the city.
24:20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said,
Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he
perish for ever.
24:21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said,
Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
24:22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry
thee away captive.
24:23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when
God doeth this!
24:24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict
Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
24:25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak
also went his way.
25:1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit
whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
25:2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and
the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
25:3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD
was kindled against Israel.
25:4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and
hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of
the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
25:5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men
that were joined unto Baalpeor.
25:6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto
his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight
of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping
before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
25:7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest,
saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in
his hand;
25:8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both
of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So
the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
25:9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
25:10 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
25:11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath
turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous
for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my
jealousy.
25:12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
25:13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of
an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made
an atonement for the children of Israel.
25:14 Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain
with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a
chief house among the Simeonites.
25:15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi,
the daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in
Midian.
25:16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
25:17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
25:18 For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled
you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a
prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague
for Peor's sake.
26:1 And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spake unto
Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,
26:2 Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel,
from twenty years old and upward, throughout their fathers' house, all
that are able to go to war in Israel.
26:3 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of
Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
26:4 Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and upward; as
the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which went forth
out of the land of Egypt.
26:5 Reuben, the eldest son of Israel: the children of Reuben; Hanoch,

Palluites:

thirty.
26:8 And the sons of Pallu; Eliab.
26:9 And the sons of Eliab; Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. This is that
Dathan and Abiram, which were famous in the congregation, who strove
against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they
strove against the LORD:
26:10 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together
with Korah, when that company died, what time the fire devoured two
hundred and fifty men: and they became a sign.
26:11 Notwithstanding the children of Korah died not.

26:52 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
26:53 Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according
to the number of names.
26:54 To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few thou
shalt give the less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be
given according to those that were numbered of him.
26:55 Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the
names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.
26:56 According to the lot shall the possession thereof be divided
between many and few.
26:57 And these are they that were numbered of the Levites after their
families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites: of Kohath, the
family of the Kohathites: of Merari, the family of the Merarites.
26:58 These are the families of the Levites: the family of the Libnites,

the Mushites, the family of the Korathites. And Kohath begat Amram.
26:59 And the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi,
whom her mother bare to Levi in Egypt: and she bare unto Amram Aaron and
Moses, and Miriam their sister.
26:60 And unto Aaron was born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
26:61 And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before
the LORD.
26:62 And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three
thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they were not
numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance
given them among the children of Israel.
26:63 These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest,
who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near
Jericho.
26:64 But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron
the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the
wilderness of Sinai.
26:65 For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the
wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of
Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
27:1 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son
of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of
Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters;
Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
27:2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and
before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
27:3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of
them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company
of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.
27:4 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his
family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession
among the brethren of our father.
27:5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
27:6 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
27:7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give
them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and
thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
27:8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man
die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto
his daughter.
27:9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto
his brethren.
27:10 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance
unto his father's brethren.
27:11 And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his
inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he
shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute
of judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses.
27:12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim,
and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
27:13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy
people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
27:14 For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in
the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their
eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
27:15 And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,
27:16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over
the congregation,
27:17 Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and
which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the
congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
27:18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a
man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
27:19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the
congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
27:20 And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the
congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
27:21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask
counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word
shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all
the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.
27:22 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and
set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
27:23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD
commanded by the hand of Moses.
28:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
28:2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and
my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto me,
shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.
28:3 And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire
which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without
spot day by day, for a continual burnt offering.
28:4 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb
shalt thou offer at even;
28:5 And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled
with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.
28:6 It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai
for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
28:7 And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin
for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to
be poured unto the LORD for a drink offering.
28:8 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering
of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it,
a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
28:9 And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot,
and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and
the drink offering thereof:
28:10 This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual
burnt offering, and his drink offering.
28:11 And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt
offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of
the first year without spot;
28:12 And three tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with
oil, for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering,
mingled with oil, for one ram;
28:13 And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil for a meat
offering unto one lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweet savour, a
sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
28:14 And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a
bullock, and the third part of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth part of
an hin unto a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout
the months of the year.
28:15 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the LORD shall be
offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
28:16 And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of
the LORD.
28:17 And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days
shall unleavened bread be eaten.
28:18 In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no
manner of servile work therein:
28:19 But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering
unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the
first year: they shall be unto you without blemish:
28:20 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil: three
tenth deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram;
28:21 A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout
the seven lambs:
28:22 And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you.
28:23 Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning,
which is for a continual burnt offering.
28:24 After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days,
the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD:
it shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink
offering.
28:25 And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall
do no servile work.
28:26 Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat
offering unto the LORD, after your weeks be out, ye shall have an holy
convocation; ye shall do no servile work:
28:27 But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the
LORD; two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year;
28:28 And their meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth
deals unto one bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram,
28:29 A several tenth deal unto one lamb, throughout the seven lambs;
28:30 And one kid of the goats, to make an atonement for you.
28:31 Ye shall offer them beside the continual burnt offering, and his
meat offering, (they shall be unto you without blemish) and their drink
offerings.
29:1 And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall
have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of
blowing the trumpets unto you.
29:2 And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the
LORD; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year
without blemish:
29:3 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three
tenth deals for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram,
29:4 And one tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs:
29:5 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering, to make an atonement
for you:
29:6 Beside the burnt offering of the month, and his meat offering, and
the daily burnt offering, and his meat offering, and their drink
offerings, according unto their manner, for a sweet savour, a sacrifice
made by fire unto the LORD.
29:7 And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy
convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work
therein:
29:8 But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD for a sweet
savour; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year;
they shall be unto you without blemish:
29:9 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three
tenth deals to a bullock, and two tenth deals to one ram,
29:10 A several tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs:
29:11 One kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the sin offering
of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering of
it, and their drink offerings.
29:12 And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have an
holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast
unto the LORD seven days:
29:13 And ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of
a sweet savour unto the LORD; thirteen young bullocks, two rams, and
fourteen lambs of the first year; they shall be without blemish:
29:14 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three
tenth deals unto every bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two tenth deals
to each ram of the two rams,
29:15 And a several tenth deal to each lamb of the fourteen lambs:
29:16 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual
burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
29:17 And on the second day ye shall offer twelve young bullocks, two
rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without spot:
29:18 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the
bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their
number, after the manner:
29:19 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual
burnt offering, and the meat offering thereof, and their drink
offerings.
29:20 And on the third day eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of
the first year without blemish;
29:21 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the

number, after the manner:
29:22 And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt
offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
29:23 And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs
of the first year without blemish:
29:24 Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks,
for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number,
after the manner:
29:25 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual
burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
29:26 And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs

29:27 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the
bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their
number, after the manner:
29:28 And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt

29:29 And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs
of the first year without blemish:
29:30 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the
bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their

29:31 And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt

29:32 And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two rams, and fourteen

29:34 And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt

29:35 On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: ye shall do no
servile work therein:
29:36 But ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of
a sweet savour unto the LORD: one bullock, one ram, seven lambs of the
first year without blemish:
29:37 Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullock, for
the ram, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after
the manner:
29:38 And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt
offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
29:39 These things ye shall do unto the LORD in your set feasts, beside
your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and
for your meat offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your
peace offerings.
29:40 And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the
LORD commanded Moses.
30:1 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the
children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath
commanded.
30:2 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul
with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all
that proceedeth out of his mouth.
30:3 If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a
bond, being in her father's house in her youth;
30:4 And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound
her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her; then all her vows
shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall
stand.
30:5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any
of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall
stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed
her.
30:6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought
out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;
30:7 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that
he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she
bound her soul shall stand.
30:8 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then
he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with
her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD
shall forgive her.
30:9 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith
they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.
30:10 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a
bond with an oath;
30:11 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and
disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond
wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
30:12 But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard
them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or
concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made
them void; and the LORD shall forgive her.
30:13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband
may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
30:14 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to
day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon
her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day
that he heard them.
30:15 But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard
them; then he shall bear her iniquity.
30:16 These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a
man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her
youth in her father's house.
31:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
31:2 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt
thou be gathered unto thy people.
31:3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves
unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the
LORD of Midian.
31:4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel,
shall ye send to the war.
31:5 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand
of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
31:6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and
Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy
instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
31:7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded
Moses; and they slew all the males.
31:8 And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that
were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five
kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
31:9 And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives,
and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all
their flocks, and all their goods.
31:10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their
goodly castles, with fire.
31:11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of
beasts.
31:12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto
Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children
of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near
Jericho.
31:13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the
congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
31:14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the
captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the
battle.
31:15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
31:16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel
of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor,
and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
31:17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill
every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
31:18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying
with him, keep alive for yourselves.
31:19 And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed
any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves
and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
31:20 And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and
all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.
31:21 And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the
battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;
31:22 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and
the lead,
31:23 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through
the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with
the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make
go through the water.
31:24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be
clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
31:25 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
31:26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast,
thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
31:27 And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war
upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:
31:28 And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out
to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the
beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
31:29 Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an
heave offering of the LORD.
31:30 And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion
of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the
flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which
keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.
31:31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
31:32 And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had
caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand
sheep,
31:33 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
31:34 And threescore and one thousand asses,
31:35 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not
known man by lying with him.
31:36 And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war,
was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and
five hundred sheep:
31:37 And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore
and fifteen.
31:38 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD's
tribute was threescore and twelve.
31:39 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the
LORD's tribute was threescore and one.
31:40 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD's tribute
was thirty and two persons.
31:41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD's heave offering,
unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
31:42 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the
men that warred,
31:43 (Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three
hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred
sheep,
31:44 And thirty and six thousand beeves,
31:45 And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
31:46 And sixteen thousand persons;)
31:47 Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of
fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which
kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
31:48 And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the
captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
31:49 And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the
men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of
us.
31:50 We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man
hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings,
and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.
31:51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all
wrought jewels.
31:52 And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD,
of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was
sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
31:53 (For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
31:54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of
thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the
congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.
32:1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great
multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land
of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;
32:2 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto
Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the
congregation, saying,
32:3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and
Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
32:4 Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of
Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
32:5 Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this
land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over
Jordan.
32:6 And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of
Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
32:7 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel
from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?
32:8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see
the land.
32:9 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land,
they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should
not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
32:10 And the LORD's anger was kindled the same time, and he sware,
saying,
32:11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty
years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham,
unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
32:12 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son
of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
32:13 And the LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them
wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had
done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.
32:14 And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase
of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward
Israel.
32:15 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them
in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
32:16 And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds
here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
32:17 But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of
Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones
shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
32:18 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel
have inherited every man his inheritance.
32:19 For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or
forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan
eastward.
32:20 And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go
armed before the LORD to war,
32:21 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he
hath driven out his enemies from before him,
32:22 And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall
return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this
land shall be your possession before the LORD.
32:23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD:
and be sure your sin will find you out.
32:24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep;
and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
32:25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto
Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
32:26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall
be there in the cities of Gilead:
32:27 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before
the Lord to battle, as my lord saith.
32:28 So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua
the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of
Israel:
32:29 And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children
of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle,
before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall
give them the land of Gilead for a possession:
32:30 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have
possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
32:31 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered,
saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.
32:32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan,
that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be our's.
32:33 And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the
children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of
Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og
king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even
the cities of the country round about.
32:34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
32:35 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
32:36 And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.
32:37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and
Kirjathaim,
32:38 And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah:
and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.
32:39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and
took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.
32:40 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he
dwelt therein.
32:41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns
thereof, and called them Havothjair.
32:42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and
called it Nobah, after his own name.
33:1 These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth
out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and
Aaron.
33:2 And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the
commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys according to their
goings out.
33:3 And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth
day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of
Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.
33:4 For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had
smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.
33:5 And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in
Succoth.
33:6 And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in
the edge of the wilderness.
33:7 And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pihahiroth,
which is before Baalzephon: and they pitched before Migdol.
33:8 And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed through the
midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in
the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.
33:9 And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were
twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they
pitched there.
33:10 And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.
33:11 And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness
of Sin.
33:12 And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and
encamped in Dophkah.
33:13 And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.
33:14 And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was
no water for the people to drink.
33:15 And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of
Sinai.
33:16 And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at
Kibrothhattaavah.
33:17 And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth.
33:18 And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.
33:19 And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmonparez.
33:20 And they departed from Rimmonparez, and pitched in Libnah.
33:21 And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.
33:22 And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.
33:23 And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher.
33:24 And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.
33:25 And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.
33:26 And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.
33:27 And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.
33:28 And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.
33:29 And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.
33:30 And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.
33:31 And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Benejaakan.
33:32 And they removed from Benejaakan, and encamped at Horhagidgad.
33:33 And they went from Horhagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.
33:34 And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.
33:35 And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Eziongaber.
33:36 And they removed from Eziongaber, and pitched in the wilderness of
Zin, which is Kadesh.
33:37 And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the
edge of the land of Edom.
33:38 And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of
the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of
Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth
month.
33:39 And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he
died in mount Hor.
33:40 And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land
of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.
33:41 And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.
33:42 And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.
33:43 And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.
33:44 And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ijeabarim, in the
border of Moab.
33:45 And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad.
33:46 And they removed from Dibongad, and encamped in Almondiblathaim.
33:47 And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the
mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.
33:48 And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the
plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
33:49 And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth even unto
Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.
33:50 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near
Jericho, saying,
33:51 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are
passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
33:52 Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from
before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten
images, and quite pluck down all their high places:
33:53 And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell
therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.
33:54 And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your
families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the
fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall
be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your
fathers ye shall inherit.
33:55 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from
before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain
of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and
shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
33:56 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I
thought to do unto them.
34:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
34:2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come
into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for
an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)
34:3 Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along
by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast
of the salt sea eastward:
34:4 And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of
Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from
the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to
Azmon:
34:5 And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of
Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
34:6 And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for
a border: this shall be your west border.
34:7 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall
point out for you mount Hor:
34:8 From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of
Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
34:9 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it
shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.
34:10 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham:
34:11 And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east
side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side
of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:
34:12 And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it
shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts
thereof round about.
34:13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the
land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give
unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
34:14 For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of
their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the
house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the
tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
34:15 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance
on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
34:16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
34:17 These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto
you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
34:18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by
inheritance.
34:19 And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb
the son of Jephunneh.
34:20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of
Ammihud.
34:21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
34:22 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son
of Jogli.
34:23 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the
children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
34:24 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the
son of Shiphtan.
34:25 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan
the son of Parnach.
34:26 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel
the son of Azzan.
34:27 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the
son of Shelomi.
34:28 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel
the son of Ammihud.
34:29 These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance
unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
35:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near
Jericho, saying,
35:2 Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of
the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall
give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.
35:3 And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them
shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their
beasts.
35:4 And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the
Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand
cubits round about.
35:5 And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two
thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the
west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand
cubits; and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the
suburbs of the cities.
35:6 And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there
shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the
manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and
two cities.
35:7 So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty
and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.
35:8 And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of
the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but
from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his
cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he
inheriteth.
35:9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
35:10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be
come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
35:11 Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you;
that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.
35:12 And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger;
that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in
judgment.
35:13 And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have
for refuge.
35:14 Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities
shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
35:15 These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of
Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that
every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
35:16 And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he
is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
35:17 And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die,
and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
35:18 Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may
die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to
death.
35:19 The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he
meeteth him, he shall slay him.
35:20 But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait,
that he die;
35:21 Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote
him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of
blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.
35:22 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon
him any thing without laying of wait,
35:23 Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and
cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his
harm:
35:24 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the
revenger of blood according to these judgments:
35:25 And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of
the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the
city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto
the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.
35:26 But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the
city of his refuge, whither he was fled;
35:27 And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city
of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not
be guilty of blood:
35:28 Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until
the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the
slayer shall return into the land of his possession.
35:29 So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you
throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
35:30 Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by
the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any
person to cause him to die.
35:31 Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer,
which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
35:32 And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city
of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the
death of the priest.
35:33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it
defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is
shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
35:34 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I
dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
36:1 And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead,
the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of
Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the
chief fathers of the children of Israel:
36:2 And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an
inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded
by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his
daughters.
36:3 And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of
the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the
inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the
tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of
our inheritance.
36:4 And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall
their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto
they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the
inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
36:5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of
the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
36:6 This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the
daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best;
only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
36:7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from
tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep
himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
36:8 And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of
the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the
tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the
inheritance of his fathers.
36:9 Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another
tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep
himself to his own inheritance.
36:10 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of
Zelophehad:
36:11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the
daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers'
sons:
36:12 And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh
the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the
family of their father.
36:13 These are the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD
commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains
of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.

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.
10:1 At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone
like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee
an ark of wood.
10:2 And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first
tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.
10:3 And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone
like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables
in mine hand.
10:4 And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten
commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the
midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them
unto me.
10:5 And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the
tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD
commanded me.
10:6 And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the
children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died, and there he was buried;
and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.
10:7 From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to
Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.
10:8 At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark
of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto
him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.
10:9 Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the
LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him.
10:10 And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days
and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also, and
the LORD would not destroy thee.
10:11 And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the
people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware unto
their fathers to give unto them.
10:12 And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but
to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and
to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
10:13 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I
command thee this day for thy good?
10:14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's thy
God, the earth also, with all that therein is.
10:15 Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he
chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this
day.
10:16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more
stiffnecked.
10:17 For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great
God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh
reward:
10:18 He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and
loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
10:19 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land
of Egypt.
10:20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him
shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
10:21 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these
great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.
10:22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons;
and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for
multitude.
11:1 Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge,
and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.
11:2 And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have
not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your
God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,
11:3 And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt
unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
11:4 And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to
their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as
they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them unto this
day;
11:5 And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this
place;
11:6 And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son
of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and
their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in
their possession, in the midst of all Israel:
11:7 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he
did.
11:8 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you
this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither
ye go to possess it;
11:9 And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD sware
unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that
floweth with milk and honey.
11:10 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the
land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and
wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:
11:11 But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and
valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
11:12 A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy
God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end
of the year.
11:13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my
commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God,
and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
11:14 That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the
first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and
thy wine, and thine oil.
11:15 And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou
mayest eat and be full.
11:16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye
turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
11:17 And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up
the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her
fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD
giveth you.
11:18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your
soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as
frontlets between your eyes.
11:19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou
sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou
liest down, and when thou risest up.
11:20 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and
upon thy gates:
11:21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children,
in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the
days of heaven upon the earth.
11:22 For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I
command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his
ways, and to cleave unto him;
11:23 Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you,
and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.
11:24 Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be
yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river
Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.
11:25 There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your
God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land
that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.
11:26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
11:27 A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God,
which I command you this day:
11:28 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your
God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go
after other gods, which ye have not known.
11:29 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee
in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put
the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.
11:30 Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun
goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign
over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?
11:31 For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which
the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell
therein.
11:32 And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I
set before you this day.
12:1 These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do
in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess
it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.
12:2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which
ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon
the hills, and under every green tree:
12:3 And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and
burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of
their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.
12:4 Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.
12:5 But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all
your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye
seek, and thither thou shalt come:
12:6 And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your
sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your
vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and
of your flocks:
12:7 And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall
rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households,
wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.
12:8 Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day,
every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
12:9 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance,
which the LORD your God giveth you.
12:10 But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD
your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all
your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;
12:11 Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose
to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I
command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and
the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow
unto the LORD:
12:12 And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons,
and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the
Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor
inheritance with you.
12:13 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in
every place that thou seest:
12:14 But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes,
there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all
that I command thee.
12:15 Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates,
whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the LORD
thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat
thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.
12:16 Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth
as water.
12:17 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of
thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock,
nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or
heave offering of thine hand:
12:18 But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which
the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and
thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy
gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou
puttest thine hands unto.
12:19 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as
thou livest upon the earth.
12:20 When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath
promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul
longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth
after.
12:21 If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name
there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy
flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and
thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
12:22 Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them:
the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.
12:23 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the
life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
12:24 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.
12:25 Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy
children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight
of the LORD.
12:26 Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt
take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose:
12:27 And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood,
upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices
shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt
eat the flesh.
12:28 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may
go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou
doest that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.
12:29 When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee,
whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and
dwellest in their land;
12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them,
after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not
after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even
so will I do likewise.
12:31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination
to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even
their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their
gods.
12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not
add thereto, nor diminish from it.
13:1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and
giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
13:2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto
thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and
let us serve them;
13:3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that
dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye
love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
13:4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his
commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave
unto him.
13:5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death;
because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which
brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house
of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God
commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the
midst of thee.
13:6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter,
or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul,
entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou
hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;
13:7 Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh
unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto
the other end of the earth;
13:8 Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither
shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou
conceal him:
13:9 But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him
to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
13:10 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath
sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out
of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
13:11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such
wickedness as this is among you.
