ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.

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

² And the LORD spake unto me, saying,

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

⁹ And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.

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

³ The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.

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

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

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

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

¹ All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.

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

³ 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.

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

⁸ Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:

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

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

²⁷ And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.

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

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁷ Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.

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

⁴² And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.

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

⁴⁵ And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood.

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

⁵ And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD commanded me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.

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

¹ Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them unto this day;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

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

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

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

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 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

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.
