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

⁸ Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:

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

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

⁶ And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

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

⁸ And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

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

⁷ The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

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

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

¹² How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.

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

⁶ If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.

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

³ Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;

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

⁸ But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.

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

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

¹ The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.

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

³ And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.

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

⁶ And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose;

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

⁸ They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again.

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

² And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ 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;

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

¹ If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ 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 vile unto thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn.

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

⁶ And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:

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

⁸ And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey.

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

⁴ Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.

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

¹¹ And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁷ And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Thou shalt not kill.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Neither shalt thou commit adultery.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Neither shalt thou steal.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, for the mountain did burn with fire, that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
