ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baal-peor: for all the men that followed followed Baal-peor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Thou shalt have none other gods before me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ 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;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² 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:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ 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;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ 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;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Speak not thou in thine 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked stiffnecked people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God doth give us.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴¹ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Thou shalt not 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 and with all your soul.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ 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:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work therein.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, or any evilfavouredness: evilfavouredness: for that is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² 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,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ If one be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that I am come unto the country which the LORD sware unto our fathers for to give us.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A 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:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD thy God:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before the LORD thy God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;
