1 Now, therefore, pay attention, O God Prevails (Israel), to the statutes and to the judgments, which I teach you, to do them, that you may live, and go in and possess the land which I AM LORD God (Yehovah-Elohyim) of your fathers gives you.
2
You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you take
anything away from it, that you may keep the commandments of I AM (the LORD,
Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym) which I command you.
3
Your eyes have seen what I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) did because of Lord of the
Gap (Baalpeor): all the men that followed Lord of the Gap (Baalpeor), I AM (the
LORD, Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym) has destroyed them from among you.
4
But you that cleaved to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym) are alive
every one of you this day.
5
Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as I AM (the LORD,
Yehovah) my God ('Elohiym) commanded me, that you should do so in the land where
you go to possess it.
6
Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and understanding in the
sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say: Surely this
great nation is a wise and understanding people.
7
For what nation is there so great, who has God ('Elohiym) so close to them, as I
AM (the LORD, Yehovah) our God ('Elohiym) is in all things that we call on Him
for?
8
And what nation is there so great, that has statutes and judgments so righteous
as all this law, which I set before you this day?
9
Only take heed to yourself, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the
things which your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the
days of your life: but teach them your sons, and your sons' sons.
10
Especially the day that you stood before I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym) in Desert (Horeb), when I AM (the LORD,
Yehovah) said to me: Gather the people together, and I will make them hear My
words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days that they shall live upon
the earth, and that they may teach their children.
11
You came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to
the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.
12
Then I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke to you out of the midst of the fire: you
heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only you heard a voice.
13
He declared to you His covenant, which He commanded you to perform, even ten
commandments; and He wrote them on two tables of stone.
14
I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and
judgments, that you might do them in the land when you go over to possess it.
15
Take therefore good heed to yourselves; for you saw no manner of similitude on
the day that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke to you in Desert (Horeb) out of the
midst of the fire:
16
Lest you corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, the similitude of any
figure, the likeness of male or female,
17
The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl
that flies in the air,
18
The likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish
that is in the waters beneath the earth:
19
Lest you lift up your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, and the moon,
and the stars, even all the host of heaven, should be driven to worship them,
and serve them, which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym) has divided to
all nations under the whole heaven.
20
But I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has taken you, and brought you forth out of the
iron furnace, even out of Double Straights (Egypt), to be to Him a people of
inheritance, as you are this day.
21
Furthermore I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) was angry with me for your sakes, and swore
that I would not go over The Descender (Jordan), and that I would not go into
that good land, which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym) gives you
for an inheritance:
22
But I must die in this land, I must not go over The Descender (Jordan): but you
shall go over, and possess that good land.
23
Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of I AM (the LORD,
Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym), which He made with you, and make yourselves a
graven image, or the likeness of anything, which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God
('Elohiym) have forbidden.
24
For I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym) is a consuming fire, even a
jealous God ('Elohiym).
25
When you beget children, and children's children, and you have remained long in
the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the
likeness of anything, and shall do evil in the sight of I AM (the LORD,
Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym), to provoke Him to anger:
26
I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon
utterly perish from off the land where you go over The Descender (Jordan) to
possess it; you shall not prolong your days there, but shall utterly be
destroyed.
27
I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) shall scatter you among the nations, and you shall be
left few in number among the heathen, where I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) shall lead
you.
28
There you shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which
neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
29
But if from there you shall seek I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym), you
shall find Him, if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
30
When you are in tribulation, and all these things have come upon you, even in
the latter days, if you turn to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym),
and shall be obedient to His voice;
31
For I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym) is a merciful God ('Elohiym); He
will not forsake you, neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your
fathers which He swore to them.
32
For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day
that God ('Elohiym) created man upon the earth, and asked from the one side of
heaven to the other, whether there has been any such thing as this great thing
is, or has been heard like it?
33
Did people ever hear the voice of God ('Elohiym) speaking out of the midst of
the fire, as you have heard, and lived?
34
Or has God ('Elohiym) endeavored to go and take Him a nation from the midst of
another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a
mighty hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terrors, according to all
that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym) did for you in Double
Straights (Egypt) before your eyes?
35
To you it was shown, that you might know that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) He is God
('Elohiym); there is no-one else beside Him.
36
Out of heaven He made you hear His voice, that He might instruct you: and on
earth, He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the midst of
the fire.
37
Because He loved your fathers, therefore He chose their seed after them, and
brought you out in his sight with His mighty power out of Double Straights
(Egypt);
38
To drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you are, to
bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.
39
Know therefore this day, and consider it in your heart, that I AM (the LORD,
Yehovah) He is God ('Elohiym) in heaven above, and on the earth beneath: there
is none else.
40
You shall keep therefore His statutes, and His commandments, which I command you
this day, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, and
that You may prolong your days upon the earth, which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your
God ('Elohiym) gives you, forever.
41
Then Drawn (Moses) severed three cities on this side The Descender (Jordan)
toward the sun rising;
42
That the slayer might flee there, who killed his neighbor unawares, and hated
him not in times past; and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live:
43
Namely, Gold Ore (Bezer) in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Behold
a Sons (Reubenites); and Heights (Ramoth) in Rocky Region (Gilead), of the Troops
(Gadites); and Their Captivity: Their Rejoicing (Golan) in Fruitful (Bashan),
of the Children of Causing to Forget (Manassites).
44
And this is the law which Drawn (Moses) set before the children of God Prevails
(Israel):
45
These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Drawn
(Moses) spoke to the children of God Prevails (Israel), after they came forth
out of Double Straights (Egypt).
46
On this side The Descender (Jordan), in the valley over against House of Cleft
(Bethpeor), in the land of Warrior (Sihon) king of The Talkers, Sayers (Amorite),
who dwelt at Stronghold (Heshbon), whom Drawn (Moses) and the children of God
Prevails (Israel) smote, after they come out of Double Straights (Egypt):
47
And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Fruitful (Bashan), two
kings of The Talkers, Sayers (Amorite), which were on this side The Descender
(Jordan) toward the sun rising;
48
From Ruins (Aroer), which is by the bank of the river Rushing Stream (Arnon),
even to Mount Lofty (Sion), which is Sanctuary (Hermon),
49
And all the plain on this side The Descender (Jordan) eastward, even to the sea
of the plain, under the springs of Cleft (Pisgah).
