snake, he would

whither he was fled: and he shall
abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was

live on his own land before the death of the high priest.

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.

Do not
defile the land where you
live and where I dwell. For I, the LORD, dwell among the Israelites.”

yourselves therefore:

Esau, who
live in

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:
just as He had done for the descendants of
Esau who
lived in
Seir, when He destroyed the Horites from before them. They drove them out and have
lived in their place to this day.
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.)

(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.

Seir and the Moabites who
live in Ar did for us, until we cross the Jordan into the land that the LORD our God is giving us.”

For who of all flesh has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the fire, as we have, and survived?

manslayer who flees to one of these cities to save his life, having killed his
neighbor accidentally, without intending to
harm him:
As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to
hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the
axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the
helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall
flee unto one of those cities, and
live:

neighbor, he may
flee to one of these cities to save his life.

And they shall
amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the
damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.

divorce her as long as he
lives.
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.

divorce her as long as he
lives.

abhor an
Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not
abhor an Egyptian; because thou
wast a stranger in his land.

despise an
Edomite, for he is your brother. Do not
despise an Egyptian, because you
lived as a foreigner in his land.
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.

live among you wherever he chooses, in the town of his pleasing. Do not
oppress him.

millstone as security for a debt, because that would be taking one’s
livelihood as security.

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:

Aramean, and he went down to Egypt few in number and
lived there and became a great nation, mighty and numerous.
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.

womb will be blessed, as well as the produce of your land and the offspring of your
livestock— the
calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

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.

prosper abundantly—in the fruit of your
womb, the offspring of your
livestock, and the produce of your land—in the land that the LORD
swore to your fathers to give you.

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.

pledged in marriage to a woman, but another man will
violate her. You will build a house but will not
live in it. You will plant a
vineyard but will not enjoy its fruit.

kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.

livestock and the produce of your land until you are destroyed. They will leave you no grain or new wine or oil, no
calves of your herds or lambs of your flocks, until they have caused you to perish.

plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again
rejoice over thee for good, as he
rejoiced over thy fathers:
So the LORD your God will make you abound in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your
womb, the offspring of your
livestock, and the produce of your land. Indeed, the LORD will again delight in your goodness, as He delighted in that of your fathers,
In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest

prolong your days in the land,
whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.

lives untroubled in a land of grain and new wine, where even the heavens
drip with
dew.
