diligently watch
yourselves, so that you do not
forget the things your eyes have seen, and so that they do not slip from your

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.

heart and with all your soul,

today, to love the LORD your God and to serve Him with all your
heart and with all your soul,
Take
heed to
yourselves, that your
heart be not
deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

enticed to turn aside to worship and bow down to other gods,
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

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, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:

heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him
nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee.

Thou shalt surely give him, and thine
heart shall not be
grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall
bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.
Give generously to him, and do not let your
heart be
grieved when you do so. And because of this the LORD your God will
bless you in all your work and in everything to which you put your hand.

heart go
astray. He must not
accumulate for himself large amounts of silver and gold.
That his
heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may
prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.

heart will not be
exalted above his countrymen, and he will not turn aside from the commandment, to the right or to the left, in order that he and his sons may reign many years over his kingdom in Israel.

avenger of the blood pursue the
slayer, while his
heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and
slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he
hated him not in time past.

avenger of blood might pursue the
manslayer in a
rage, overtake him if the distance is great, and strike him dead though he did not deserve to die, since he did not intend any
harm.

hearts faint, fear not, and do not
tremble, neither be ye
terrified because of them;
saying to them, “Hear, O Israel,
today you are going into battle with your enemies. Do not be
fainthearted or afraid; do not be
alarmed or
terrified because of them.
And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and
fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren’s
heart faint as well as his
heart.
Then the officers shall speak further to the army, saying, “Is any man afraid or
fainthearted? Let him return home, so that the
hearts of his brothers will not
melt like his own.”

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.

sunset, because he is poor and depends on them. Otherwise he may cry out to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.
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.

afflict you with madness, blindness, and confusion of mind,
Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with
joyfulness, and with
gladness of
heart, for the abundance of all things;
Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and
gladness of
heart in all your abundance,
And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a
