father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with
stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel,
to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put
evil away from among you.
05:022:022 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband,
then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with
the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from
Israel.
05:022:023 If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and
a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
05:022:024 Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city,
and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel,
because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because
he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away
evil from among you.
05:022:025 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man
force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with
her shall die.
05:022:026 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the
damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth
against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this
matter:
05:022:027 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried,
and there was none to save her.
05:022:028 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not
betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be
found;
05:022:029 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's
father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife;
because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his
days.
05:022:030 A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his
father's skirt.
05:023:001 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut
off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
05:023:002 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD;
even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the
congregation of the LORD.
05:023:003 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation
of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not
enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
05:023:004 Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way,
when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired
against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia,
to curse thee.
05:023:005 Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam;
but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto
thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.
05:023:006 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy
days for ever.
05:023:007 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou
shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in
his land.
05:023:008 The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the
congregation of the LORD in their third generation.
05:023:009 When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep
thee from every wicked thing.
05:023:010 If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of
uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go
abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
05:023:011 But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash himself
with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the
camp again.
05:023:012 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou
shalt go forth abroad:
05:023:013 And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be,
when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith,
and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
05:023:014 For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to
deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee;
therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing
in thee, and turn away from thee.
05:023:015 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is
escaped from his master unto thee:
05:023:016 He shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place which
he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best:
thou shalt not oppress him.
05:023:017 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a
sodomite of the sons of Israel.
05:023:018 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a
dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even
both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
05:023:019 Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money,
usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:
05:023:020 Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy
brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God
may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the
land whither thou goest to possess it.
05:023:021 When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt
not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require
it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
05:023:022 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
05:023:023 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and
perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast
vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy
mouth.
05:023:024 When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, then thou
mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou
shalt not put any in thy vessel.
05:023:025 When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, then
thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not
move a sickle unto thy neighbour's standing corn.
05:024:001 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to
pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath
found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill
of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of
his house.
05:024:002 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be
another man's wife.
05:024:003 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of
divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of
his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be
his wife;
05:024:004 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her
again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is
abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land
to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
05:024:005 When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war,
neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be
free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he
hath taken.
05:024:006 No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge:
for he taketh a man's life to pledge.
05:024:007 If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children
of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then
that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among
you.
05:024:008 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe
diligently, and do according to all that the priests the
Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall
observe to do.
05:024:009 Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the way,
after that ye were come forth out of Egypt.
05:024:010 When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go
into his house to fetch his pledge.
05:024:011 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend
shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
05:024:012 And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:
05:024:013 In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the
sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and
bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the
LORD thy God.
05:024:014 Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and
needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that
are in thy land within thy gates:
05:024:015 At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun
go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon
it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto
thee.
05:024:016 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children,
neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers:
every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
05:024:017 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of
the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:
05:024:018 But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and
the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command
thee to do this thing.
05:024:019 When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast
forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch
it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for
the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the
work of thine hands.
05:024:020 When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the
boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the
fatherless, and for the widow.
05:024:021 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not
glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the
fatherless, and for the widow.
05:024:022 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land
of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
05:025:001 If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto
judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall
justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.
05:025:002 And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten,
that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten
before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number.
05:025:003 Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he
should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes,
then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.
05:025:004 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn.
05:025:005 If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no
child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a
stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take
her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's
brother unto her.
05:025:006 And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall
succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his
name be not put out of Israel.
05:025:007 And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then let
his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say,
My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a
name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband's
brother.
05:025:008 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto
him: and if he stand to it, and say, I like not to take her;
05:025:009 Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of
the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in
his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto
that man that will not build up his brother's house.
05:025:010 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that
hath his shoe loosed.
05:025:011 When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the
one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of
him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh
him by the secrets:
05:025:012 Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity
her.
05:025:013 Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a
small.
05:025:014 Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great
and a small.
05:025:015 But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and
just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened
in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
05:025:016 For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously,
are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
05:025:017 Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were
come forth out of Egypt;
05:025:018 How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee,
even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint
and weary; and he feared not God.
05:025:019 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee
rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the
LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it,
that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under
heaven; thou shalt not forget it.
05:026:001 And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the
LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest
it, and dwellest therein;
05:026:002 That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the
earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy
God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go
unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place
his name there.
05:026:003 And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days,
and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God,
that I am come unto the country which the LORD sware unto our
fathers for to give us.
05:026:004 And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and
set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God.
05:026:005 And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian
ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt,
and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation,
great, mighty, and populous:
05:026:006 And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and
laid upon us hard bondage:
05:026:007 And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD
heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour,
and our oppression:
05:026:008 And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand,
and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and
with signs, and with wonders:
05:026:009 And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this
land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey.
05:026:010 And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land,
which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it
before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God:
05:026:011 And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the LORD thy
God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the
Levite, and the stranger that is among you.
05:026:012 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine
increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and
hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless,
and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be
filled;
05:026:013 Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought
away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have
given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the
fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy
commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not
transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them.
05:026:014 I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken
away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought
thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the
LORD my God, and have done according to all that thou hast
commanded me.
05:026:015 Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy
people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou
swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and
honey.
05:026:016 This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these
statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them
with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
05:026:017 Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to
walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his
commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his
voice:
05:026:018 And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar
people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep
all his commandments;
05:026:019 And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in
praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an
holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.
05:027:001 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people,
saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this
day.
05:027:002 And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto
the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt
set thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister:
05:027:003 And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when
thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land
which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with
milk and honey; as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised
thee.
05:027:004 Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye
shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in
mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister.
05:027:005 And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an
altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon
them.
05:027:006 Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of whole
stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the
LORD thy God:
05:027:007 And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and
rejoice before the LORD thy God.
05:027:008 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law
very plainly.
05:027:009 And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel,
saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art
become the people of the LORD thy God.
05:027:010 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and
do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee
this day.
05:027:011 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,
05:027:012 These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when
ye are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and
Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:
05:027:013 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad,
and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
05:027:014 And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of
Israel with a loud voice,
05:027:015 Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an
abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the
craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the
people shall answer and say, Amen.
05:027:016 Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother.
And all the people shall say, Amen.
05:027:017 Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's landmark. And all
the people shall say, Amen.
05:027:018 Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way.
And all the people shall say, Amen.
05:027:019 Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger,
fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.
05:027:020 Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; because he
uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the people shall say,
Amen.
05:027:021 Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the
people shall say, Amen.
05:027:022 Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his
father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people
shall say, Amen.
05:027:023 Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the
people shall say, Amen.
05:027:024 Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the
people shall say, Amen.
05:027:025 Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person.
And all the people shall say, Amen.
05:027:026 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to
do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.
05:028:001 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently
unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all
his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD
thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
05:028:002 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee,
if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
05:028:003 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be
in the field.
05:028:004 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy
ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine,
and the flocks of thy sheep.
05:028:005 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
05:028:006 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt
thou be when thou goest out.
05:028:007 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee
to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against
thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
05:028:008 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy
storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and
he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth
thee.
05:028:009 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as
he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments
of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.
05:028:010 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by
the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.
05:028:011 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit
of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit
of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy
fathers to give thee.
05:028:012 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to
give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all
the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations,
and thou shalt not borrow.
05:028:013 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and
thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if
that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God,
which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
05:028:014 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I
command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to
go after other gods to serve them.
05:028:015 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the
voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his
commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day;
that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
05:028:016 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in
the field.
05:028:017 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
05:028:018 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy
land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
05:028:019 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt
thou be when thou goest out.
05:028:020 The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke,
in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou
be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the
wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
05:028:021 The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he
have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to
possess it.
05:028:022 The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a
fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning,
and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and
they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
05:028:023 And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the
earth that is under thee shall be iron.
05:028:024 The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from
heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
05:028:025 The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies:
thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways
before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the
earth.
05:028:026 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and
unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.
05:028:027 The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the
emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou
canst not be healed.
05:028:028 The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and
astonishment of heart:
05:028:029 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in
darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou
shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall
save thee.
05:028:030 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her:
thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein:
thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes
thereof.
05:028:031 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not
eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from
before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep
shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to
rescue them.
