³ And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.

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

⁹ Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to shew you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount; saying,

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

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

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

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

¹⁴ And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.

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

¹⁸ And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.

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

²² And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And the saying pleased me well: well: and I took twelve twelve men of you, one of a tribe: tribe:

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

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴³ So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;

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

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

² And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor 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.

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

⁹ Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked 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.

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

⁴ And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ 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.

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

⁹ And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence of judgment:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;

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

¹⁷ That the LORD spake unto me, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand to it, and say, I like not to take her;

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

⁸ And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.

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 These are the words of the covenant, which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter.

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

¹ And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ 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:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² 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?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁵ These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ 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 frontlets between your eyes.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And thou shalt do according to the sentence, sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
