and keep my commandments.

ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy
manservant and thy

doth talk with man,
and he liveth.

and greatness,
and we have heard His voice out of the fire.

consume us,
and we will die, if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any longer.

and that ye may
prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.

sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac,
and to Jacob, to give thee great
and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,

swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob, that He would give you—a land with great
and splendid cities that you did not build,
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;
with houses full of every good thing with which you did not fill them, with wells that you did not
dig,
and with vineyards
and olive groves that you did not plant—
and when you eat
and are satisfied,
Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God,
and serve him,
and shalt
swear by his name.
Fear the LORD your God, serve Him only, and take your oaths in His name.
(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.

jealous God. Otherwise the anger of the LORD your God will be
kindled against you,

wipe you off the face of the earth.

diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God,
and his
testimonies,
and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.

testimonies and statutes He has given you.

and possess the good land which the LORD
sware unto thy fathers,

and good in the sight of the LORD, so that it may be well with you

and possess the good land that the LORD your God
swore to give your fathers,
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?
In the future, when your son asks, “What is the meaning of the decrees and statutes and ordinances that the LORD our God has commanded you?”
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:
then you are to tell him, “We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
And the LORD shewed signs
and wonders, great
and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh,
and upon all his household, before our eyes:
Before our eyes the LORD inflicted great
and devastating signs
and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh,
and on all his household.
And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he
sware unto our fathers.
But He brought us out from there to lead us in
and give us the land that He had
sworn to our fathers.
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.
And the LORD commanded us to observe all these statutes and to fear the LORD our God, that we may always be prosperous and preserved, as we are to this day.
And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.
And if we are careful to observe every one of these commandments before the LORD our God, as He has commanded us, then that will be our righteousness.”
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;
When the LORD your God brings you into the land that you are entering to possess,
and He drives out before you many nations—the
Hittites, Girgashites,
Amorites,
Canaanites,
Perizzites,
Hivites,
and Jebusites, seven nations larger
and stronger than you—
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:
and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you to defeat them, then you must
devote them to complete destruction. Make no treaty with them
and show them no mercy.
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.
because they will turn your sons away from following Me to serve other gods. Then the anger of the LORD will burn against you, and He will swiftly destroy you.
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.
Instead, this is what you are to do to them:
tear down their altars,
smash their sacred pillars, cut down their Asherah poles,
and burn their idols in the fire.
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:
The LORD did not set His affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than the other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.
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.
But because the LORD loved you
and kept the oath He
swore to your fathers, He brought you out with a mighty hand
and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
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;
Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His covenant of loving devotion for a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments.
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.
But those who
hate Him He repays to their faces with destruction; He will not
hesitate to repay to his face the one who hates Him.
Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
So keep the commandments and statutes and ordinances that I am giving you to follow this day.
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:
If you
listen to these ordinances
and keep them carefully, then the LORD your God will keep His covenant
and the loving devotion that He
swore to your fathers.
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.
He will love you
and bless you
and multiply you. He will
bless the fruit of your
womb and the produce of your land—your grain, new wine,
and oil, the young of your herds
and the lambs of your flocks—in the land that He
swore to your fathers to give you.
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.
And the LORD will remove from you all sickness. He will not lay upon you any of the terrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but He will
inflict them on all who
hate you.
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.
You must destroy all the peoples the LORD your God will deliver to you. Do not look on them with
pity. Do not worship their gods, for that will be a
snare to you.
Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
But do not be afraid of them. Be sure to remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and all Egypt:
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.
the great trials that you saw, the signs and wonders, and the mighty hand and outstretched arm by which the LORD your God brought you out. The LORD your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear.
Moreover the LORD thy God will send the
hornet among them, until they that are left,
and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
Moreover, the LORD your God will send the
hornet against them until even the survivors hiding from you have perished.
Thou shalt not be
affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God
and terrible.
Do not be
terrified by them, for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a great
and awesome God.
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.
The LORD your God will drive out these nations before you little by little. You will not be enabled to
eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals would multiply around you.
But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.
But the LORD your God will give them over to you and throw them into great confusion, until they are destroyed.
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.
He will hand their kings over to you,
and you will
wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand against you; you will
annihilate them.
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 therein: for it is an
abomination to the LORD thy God.
You must burn up the images of their gods; do not
covet the silver
and gold that is on them or take it for
yourselves, or you will be ensnared by it; for it is
detestable to the LORD your God.
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.
And you must not bring any
detestable thing into your house, or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction. You are to utterly
detest and abhor it, because it is set apart for destruction.
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.
You must carefully follow every commandment I am giving you
today, so that you may live
and multiply,
and enter
and possess the land that the LORD
swore to give your fathers.
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.
Remember that these forty years the LORD your God led you all the way in the wilderness, so that He might humble you and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep His commandments.
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.
He humbled you,
and in your hunger He gave you
manna to eat, which neither you nor your fathers had known, so that you might understand that man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.
Thy
raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
Your clothing did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.
Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, walking in His ways and fearing Him.
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;
For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of
brooks and fountains
and springs that flow through the valleys
and hills;
A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;
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.
a land where you will eat food without
scarcity, where you will lack nothing; a land whose rocks are iron
and whose hills are ready to be mined for copper.
When thou hast eaten
and art full, then thou shalt
bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
When you eat
and are satisfied, you are to
bless the LORD your God for the good land that He has given you.
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:
Be careful not to
forget the LORD your God by failing to keep His commandments
and ordinances
and statutes, which I am giving you this day.
Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses in which to dwell,
And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all that you have is multiplied,
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;
then your heart will become proud,
and you will
forget the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
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;
He led you through the vast
and terrifying wilderness with its
venomous snakes
and scorpions, a
thirsty and waterless land. He brought you water from the rock of flint.
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;
He fed you in the wilderness with
manna that your fathers had not known, in order to humble you
and test you, so that in the end He might cause you to
prosper.
And thou say in thine heart, My power
and the might of mine hand hath
gotten me this wealth.
You might say in your heart, “The power and strength of my hands have made this wealth for me.”
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.
If you ever
forget the LORD your God
and go after other gods to worship
and bow down to them, I
testify against you
today that you will surely perish.
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,
Hear, O Israel:
Today you are about to cross the Jordan to go in
and dispossess nations greater
and stronger than you, with large cities fortified to the heavens.
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!
The people are strong
and tall, the descendants of the
Anakim. You know about them,
and you have heard it said, “Who can stand up to the sons of
Anak?”
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.
But understand that
today the LORD your God goes across
ahead of you as a
consuming fire; He will destroy them
and subdue them before you.
And you will drive them out
and annihilate them swiftly, as the LORD has promised you.
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.
It is not because of your righteousness or uprightness of heart that you are going in to possess their land, but it is because of their wickedness that the LORD your God is driving out these nations before you, to keep the promise He
swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob.
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.
Remember this,
and never
forget how you
provoked the LORD your God in the wilderness. From the day you left the land of Egypt until you reached this place, you have been rebelling against the LORD.
Also in
Horeb ye
provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was
angry with you to have destroyed you.
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:
When I went up on the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant that the LORD made with you, I stayed on the mountain forty days
and forty nights. I
ate no bread
and drank no water.
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.
Then the LORD gave me the two stone tablets, inscribed by the finger of God with the exact words that the LORD spoke to you out of the fire on the mountain on the day of the assembly.
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.
And at the end of forty days and forty nights, the LORD gave me the two stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant.
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.
And the LORD said to me, “Get up
and go down from here at once, for your people, whom you brought out of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. How quickly they have turned aside from the way that I commanded them! They have made for themselves a
molten image.”
Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people,
and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
The LORD also said to me, “I have seen this people, and they are indeed a stiff-necked people.
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.
Leave Me alone, so that I may destroy them
and blot out their name from under heaven. Then I will make you into a nation mightier
and greater than they are.”
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.
So I went back down the mountain while it was
blazing with fire, with the two tablets of the covenant in my hands.
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.
And I saw how you had
sinned against the LORD your God; you had made for
yourselves a
molten calf. You had turned aside quickly from the way that the LORD had commanded you.
And I took the two tables,
and cast them out of my two hands,
and brake them before your eyes.
So I took the two tablets
and threw them out of my hands,
shattering them before your eyes.
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.
Then I fell down before the LORD for forty days
and forty nights, as I had done the first time. I did not eat bread or drink water because of all the sin you had committed in doing what was evil in the sight of the LORD
and provoking Him to anger.
