many more as ye are, and
bless you, as he hath promised you!)
May the LORD, the God of your fathers, increase you a thousand times over and
bless you as He has promised.
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.
At that time I charged your judges: “Hear the disputes between your brothers, and judge fairly between a man and his brother or a foreign resident.
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.
Show no
partiality in judging; hear both small and great alike. Do not be
intimidated by
anyone, for judgment belongs to God. And bring to me any case too difficult for you, and I will hear it.”
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.
and in the wilderness, where the LORD your God carried you, as a man carries his son, all the way by which you traveled until you reached this place.”
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.
“We have
sinned against the LORD,” you replied. “We will go up and fight, as the LORD our God has commanded us.” Then each of you put on his weapons of war, thinking it easy to go up into the hill country.
So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.
For this reason you stayed in Kadesh for a long time—a very long time.
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.
Then we turned back and headed for the wilderness by way of the Red Sea, as the LORD had
instructed me, and for
many days we
wandered around Mount
Seir.
The
Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and
many, and tall, as the Anakims;
(The Emites used to live there, a people great and many, as tall as the Anakites.
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:
They were a people great and
many, as tall as the Anakites. But the LORD destroyed them from before the
Ammonites, who drove them out and settled in their place,
All these cities were
fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great
many.

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.
(For only
Og king of
Bashan had remained of the
remnant of the
Rephaim. His bed of iron, nine cubits long and four cubits wide, is still in Rabbah of the
Ammonites.)
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.
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,
Bashan-havoth-
jair, unto this day.
Jair, a
descendant of
Manasseh, took the whole region of
Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites. He renamed
Bashan after himself, Havvoth-
jair, by which it is called to this day.
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.
until the LORD gives rest to your brothers as He has to you, and they too have taken possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving them across the Jordan. Then each of you may return to the possession I have given you.”
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:
So since you saw no form of any kind on the day the LORD spoke to you out of the fire at
Horeb, be careful
And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
And there you will serve man-made gods of wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or eat or smell.
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?
Indeed, ask now from one end of the heavens to the other about the days that long preceded you, from the day that God created man on earth: Has anything as great as this ever happened or been reported?
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:
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.
Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau belonging to the Reubenites,
Ramoth in
Gilead belonging to the Gadites, or Golan in
Bashan belonging to the
Manassites.
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.
but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, on which you must not do any work—neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your
manservant or
maidservant, nor your ox or
donkey or any of your
livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates, so that your
manservant and
maidservant may rest as you do.
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.
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.
and you said, “Behold, the LORD our God has shown us His glory and greatness, and we have heard His voice out of the fire.
Today we have seen that a
man can live even if God speaks with him.
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—
Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
You will be blessed above all peoples; among you there will be no barren
man or woman or
livestock.
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.
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.
Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
So know in your heart that just as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.
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.
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.
No
man will be able to stand against you; the LORD your God will put the fear and
dread of you upon all the land, wherever you set foot, as He has promised you.
Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every
man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.

today, where
everyone does what seems right in his own eyes.
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.
Instead, you must eat them in the presence of the LORD your God at the place the LORD your God will choose—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the
Levite within your gates.
Rejoice before the LORD your God in all you do,
And this is the
manner of the release: Every
creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD’S release.
This is the
manner of remission: Every
creditor shall
cancel what he has
loaned to his
neighbor. He is not to collect anything from his
neighbor or brother, because the LORD’s time of release has been proclaimed.
For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt
lend unto
many nations, but thou shalt not
borrow; and thou shalt reign over
many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.
When the LORD your God blesses you as He has promised, you will
lend to
many nations but
borrow from none; you will rule over
many nations but be ruled by none.
If there be among you a poor
man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not
harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:
If there is a poor
man among your brothers within any of the gates in the land that the LORD your God is giving you, then you are not to
harden your heart or shut your hand from your poor brother.
And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.
If a fellow Hebrew, a man or a woman, is sold to you and serves you six years, then in the seventh year you must set him free.
And thou shalt
rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy
manservant, and thy
maidservant, and the
Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.
and you shall
rejoice before the LORD your God in the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the
Levite within your gates, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you.
And thou shalt
rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy
manservant, and thy
maidservant, and the
Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
And you shall
rejoice in your feast—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the
Levite, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you.
Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.
Everyone must appear with a gift as he is able, according to the blessing the LORD your God has given you.
If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee,
man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in
transgressing his covenant,
If a
man or woman among you in one of the towns that the LORD your God gives you is found doing evil in the sight of the LORD your God by
transgressing His covenant
Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
you must bring out to your gates the man or woman who has done this evil thing, and you must stone that person to death.
At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
On the testimony of two or three witnesses a
man shall be put to death, but he shall not be executed on the testimony of a
lone witness.
And the
man that will do
presumptuously, and will not
hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that
man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.
But the
man who acts
presumptuously, refusing to
listen either to the priest who stands there to serve the LORD your God, or to the judge, must be put to death. You must
purge the evil from Israel.
But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses:
forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
But the king must not acquire many horses for himself or send the people back to Egypt to acquire more horses, for the LORD has said, ‘You are never to go back that way again.’
Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
He must not take
many wives for himself, lest his 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.
Then his 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.
Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to
inherit, into three parts, that every
slayer may
flee thither.
You are to build roads for
yourselves and divide into three regions the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, so that any
manslayer can
flee to these cities.
And this is the case of the
slayer, which shall
flee thither, that he may live:
Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he
hated not in time past;
Now this is the situation regarding the
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:
If he goes into the forest with his
neighbor to cut timber and swings his
axe to
chop down a tree, but the
blade flies off the handle and strikes and kills his
neighbor, he may
flee to one of these cities to save his life.
Lest the
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.
Otherwise, the
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.
But if any
man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and
smite him
mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities:
If, however, a
man hates his
neighbor and lies in wait, attacks him and kills him, and then flees to one of these cities,
One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
A
lone witness is not sufficient to establish any
wrongdoing or sin against a
man, regardless of what
offense he may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.
If a false witness rise up against any
man to
testify against him that which is wrong;
If a false witness testifies against someone,
accusing him of a crime,
And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What
man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another
man dedicate it.
Furthermore, the officers are to address the army, saying, “Has any
man built a new house and not dedicated it? Let him return home, or he may die in battle and another
man dedicate it.
And what
man is he that hath planted a
vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another
man eat of it.
Has any
man planted a
vineyard and not begun to enjoy its fruit? Let him return home, or he may die in battle and another
man enjoy its fruit.
And what
man is there that hath
betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another
man take her.
Has any
man become
pledged to a woman and not married her? Let him return home, or he may die in battle and another
man marry her.”
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.”
When thou shalt
besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an
axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is
man’s life) to employ them in the siege:
When you lay siege to a city for an extended time while fighting against it to capture it, you must not destroy its trees by putting an
axe to them, because you can eat their fruit. You must not cut them down. Are the trees of the field human, that you should
besiege them?
And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain
man, even the elders of that city shall take an
heifer, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke;
Then the elders of the city nearest the
victim shall take a
heifer that has never been yoked or used for work,
And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain
man, shall wash their hands over the
heifer that is
beheaded in the valley:
Then all the elders of the city nearest the
victim shall wash their hands by the stream over the
heifer whose neck has been broken,
If a
man have two wives, one beloved, and another
hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the
hated; and if the
firstborn son be hers that was
hated:
If a
man has two wives, one beloved and the other unloved, and both bear him sons, but the unloved wife has the
firstborn son,
Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to
inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved
firstborn before the son of the
hated, which is indeed the
firstborn:
when that
man assigns his inheritance to his sons he must not
appoint the son of the beloved wife as the
firstborn over the son of the unloved wife.
If a
man have a
stubborn and
rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have
chastened him, will not
hearken unto them:
If a
man has a
stubborn and
rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and does not
listen to them when disciplined,
And if a
man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou
hang him on a tree:
If a
man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is executed, and you
hang his body on a tree,
In like
manner shalt thou do with his
ass; and so shalt thou do with his
raiment; and with all lost things of thy brother’s, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide
thyself.
And you shall do the same for his
donkey, his
cloak, or anything your brother has lost and you have found. You must not
ignore it.
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a
man, neither shall a
man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are
abomination unto the LORD thy God.
A woman must not wear men’s clothing, and a
man must not wear women’s clothing, for
whoever does these things is
detestable to the LORD your God.
When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence.
If you build a new house, you are to construct a railing around your roof, so that you do not bring bloodguilt on your house if someone falls from it.
If any
man take a wife, and go in unto her, and
hate her,
Suppose a
man marries a woman, has relations with her, and comes to
hate her,
And the
damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this
man to wife, and he hateth her;
and say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this
man, but he has come to
hate her.
And the elders of that city shall take that
man and
chastise him;
Then the elders of that city shall take the
man and
punish him.
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.
They are also to fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, because this
man has given a virgin of Israel a bad name. And she shall remain his wife; he must not
divorce her as long as he lives.
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.
If a
man is found lying with another
man’s wife, both the
man who
slept with her and the woman must die. You must
purge the evil from Israel.
If a
damsel that is a virgin be
betrothed unto an husband, and a
man find her in the city, and lie with her;
If there is a virgin
pledged in marriage to a
man, and another
man encounters her in the city and sleeps with her,
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.
you must take both of them out to the gate of that city and stone them to death—the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the
man because he has
violated his
neighbor’s wife. So you must
purge the evil from among you.
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:
But if the
man encounters a
betrothed woman in the open country, and he overpowers her and lies with her, only the
man who has done this must die.
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:
Do nothing to the young woman, because she has committed no sin worthy of death. This case is just like one in which a
man attacks his
neighbor and murders him.
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;
If a
man encounters a virgin who is not
pledged in marriage, and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are discovered,
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.
then the
man who lay with her must pay the young woman’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she must become his wife because he has
violated her. He must not
divorce her as long as he lives.
A
man shall not take his father’s wife, nor discover his father’s
skirt.
A man is not to marry his father’s wife, so that he will not dishonor his father’s marriage bed.
He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
No
man with
crushed or severed
genitals may enter the assembly of the LORD.
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:
If any
man among you becomes unclean because of a
nocturnal emission, he must leave the camp and stay outside.
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.
If a
man marries a woman, but she becomes displeasing to him because he finds some
indecency in her, he may write her a
certificate of
divorce, hand it to her, and send her away from his house.
And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife.
If, after leaving his house, she goes and becomes another man’s wife,
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;
and the second
man hates her, writes her a
certificate of
divorce, hands it to her, and sends her away from his house, or if he dies,
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.
If a man is newly married, he must not be sent to war or be pressed into any duty. For one year he is free to stay at home and bring joy to the wife he has married.
Do not take a pair of millstones or even an upper
millstone as security for a debt, because that would be taking one’s
livelihood as security.
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.
If a
man is caught
kidnapping one of his
Israelite brothers, whether he treats him as a slave or sells him, the
kidnapper must die. So you must
purge the evil from among you.
Thou shalt stand abroad, and the
man to whom thou
dost lend shall bring out the
pledge abroad unto thee.
You are to stand outside while the
man to whom you are
lending brings the security out to you.
And if the
man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his
pledge:
If he is a poor man, you must not go to sleep with the security in your possession;
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.
Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.
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.
If the guilty
man deserves to be beaten, the judge shall have him lie down and be
flogged in his presence with the number of lashes his crime warrants.
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.
He may receive no more than forty lashes, lest your brother be beaten any more than that and be
degraded in your sight.
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.
But if the man does not want to marry his brother’s widow, she is to go to the elders at the city gate and say, “My husband’s brother refuses to preserve his brother’s name in Israel. He is not willing to perform the duty of a brother-in-law for me.”
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.
his brother’s widow shall go up to him in the presence of the elders, remove his
sandal,
spit in his face, and declare, “This is what is done to the
man who will not maintain his brother’s line.”
Cursed be he that maketh the blind to
wander out of the way. And all the people shall say,
Amen.
‘
Cursed is he who lets a blind
man wander in the road.’ And let all the people say, ‘
Amen!’
Cursed be he that lieth with any
manner of beast. And all the people shall say,
Amen.
‘
Cursed is he who lies with any animal.’ And let all the people say, ‘
Amen!’
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.
The LORD will open the heavens, His abundant
storehouse, to send rain on your land in season and to
bless all the work of your hands. You will
lend to
many nations, but
borrow from none.
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.
Your corpses will be food for all the birds of the air and beasts of the earth, with no one to
scare them away.
and at
noon you will
grope about like a blind
man in the darkness. You will not
prosper in your ways. Day after day you will be
oppressed and
plundered, with no one to save you.
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.
You will be
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.
