Hear, O Israel: Yahweh, is our God, - Yahweh alone.

Thou shalt therefore love Yahweh thy God, - with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy might;

I call to witness against you to-day, the heavens and the earth, that life and death, have I set before thee, the blessing and the curse, - therefore shouldest thou choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed;

There shall not be found in thy midst - One who causeth his son or his daughter to pass through fire, - Or who useth divination, hidden arts or enchantments Or who muttereth incantations;

so shall these words which I am commanding thee to-day, be upon thy heart;

See! I have taught you statutes, and regulations, as Yahweh my God commanded me, - that ye should do so, in the midst of the land whereinto ye are entering to possess it.

A prophet out of thy midst of thy brethren like unto me, will Yahweh thy God, raise up unto thee - unto him, shall ye hearken:

So he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna which thou hadst not known, neither had thy fathers' known, - that he might lead thee to consider that not on bread alone, shall the son of earth live, but on whatsoever cometh from the bidding of Yahweh, shall the son of earth live.

Yahweh thy God, shalt thou revere, Him, shalt thou serve, - And unto him, shalt thou cleave, And in his name, shalt thou swear.

Ye shall not add unto the word which, I, am commanding you, neither shall ye take away therefrom, - that ye may keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, which, I, am commanding you.

See! I have set before thee, to-day, life and prosperity, - and death and calamity;

The secret things, belong unto Yahweh our God and, the things that are revealed, belong to us and to our children unto times age-abiding, that we may do all the words of this law.

When there shall arise in thy midst - a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, - and he shall give unto thee a sign or a wonder;

When thou art coming into the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, thou shalt not learn to do according to the abominable doings of those nations.

Now, therefore, O Israel, what is, Yahweh thy God, asking of thee, - but to revere Yahweh thy God to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Yahweh thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul:

When a man taketh a woman, and marrieth her, then shall it be, if she find not favour in his eyes, because he hath found in her some matter of shame, that he shall write her a scroll of divorcement, and put it into her hand, and shall send her forth, out of his house.

A Rock! faultless his work, For, all his ways, are just, A GOD of faithfulness and without perversity, Right and fair, is he!

A woman shall not have on the wearing apparel of a man, nor shall a man put on the mantle of a woman; for an abomination to Yahweh thy God, is any one who doeth these things.

And it shall be, if thou wilt, hearken, unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, to observe to do all his commandments which I am commanding thee to-day, then will Yahweh thy God set thee on high, above all the nations of the earth;

A prophet, will I raise up unto them, out of the midst of their brethren, like unto thee, - and I will put my words in his mouth, so shall he speak unto them whatsoever I shall command him.

and thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, - and they shall serve for bands between thine eyes;

And it came to pass, in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, that Moses spake unto the sons of Israel, according to all that Yahweh had given him in charge for them;

Therefore shall ye observe, and do them , for that, will be your wisdom, and discernment, in the eyes of the peoples, - who will hear all these statutes, and will say - Nevertheless, a people wise and discerning, is this great nation.

But thou shalt remember Yahweh thy God, that it was, he, who had been giving thee strength to get wealth, - that so he might establish his covenant which he sware to thy fathers as at this day.

Now, therefore, O Israel, hearken thou unto the statutes, and unto the regulations, which, I, am teaching you, to do them , - to the end ye may live and enter and possess the land, which, Yahweh, the God of your fathers, is giving unto you.

and thou shalt write them upon the pests of thy house and within thy gates.

and thou shalt impress them upon thy sons, and shalt speak of them, - when thou sittest in thy house and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up;

Be firm and bold, do not fear nor tremble because of them, - for Yahweh thy God, it is who is going with thee, he will not fail thee nor forsake thee.

When a man hath a son, rebellious and insulting, who will not hearken to the voice of his father, and to the voice of his mother, - though they chastise him, yet will not hearken unto them,

a land wherein not in scarcity, shalt thou eat food, thou shalt lack nothing therein, - a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest hew copper.

This, then is the commandment - namely the statutes and the regulations, which Yahweh your God bath commanded to teach you, - that ye may do them in the land whither ye are passing over to possess it:

but because Yahweh loved you and because he would keep the oath which he sware unto your fathers, did Yahweh bring you forth with a firm hand, - and redeem thee out of the house of servants, out of the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

Howbeit the prophet who shall presume to speak a word in my name which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shah speak in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.

I, am Yahweh thy God, who have brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt out of the house of servants: -

When Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land which thou art going in to possess, and shall clear away many nations from 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 in number and stronger than thou;

For a holy people, art thou unto Yahweh thy God: of thee, hath Yahweh thy God, made choice, that thou shouldest become his people as a treasure, above all the peoples that are on the face of the ground:

after he had smitten Sihon, king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, - and Og, king of Bashan, who dwelt in Ashtaroth, in Edrei:

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

over the Jordan, in the land of Moab, did Moses take in hand to expound this law, saying: -

Yahweh, the God of your fathers, be adding unto you the like of you, a thousand times, - and bless you, as he hath spoken unto you!

See! I have set before you the land, - enter and possess the land, which, Yahweh sware unto your fathers to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them, and unto their seed, after them.

So spake unto you, at that time saying, I am unable, by myself, to carry you.

Yahweh our God, spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Long enough, have ye dwelt in this mountain:

and thou shalt he groping about in noonday brightness, as the blind man gropeth in thick darkness, and thou shalt not make thy ways prosper, - but shalt be only oppressed and spoiled all the days with none to save.

So then Yahweh said unto me, Up with thee - to break away onward, before the people, - that they may enter in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers, to give unto them.

Then did Yahweh deliver unto me the two tables of stone, written with the finger of God, - and there was upon them, according to all the words which Yahweh had spoken with you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the convocation.

Turn ye and set yourselves forward, and enter into the hill country of the Amorites, and into all the places near, in the plain, in the mountain, and in the lowland, and in the south, and in the coast of the sea, - the land of Canaan and the Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.

For what great nation is there which hath gods nigh unto it, - like Yahweh our God, whensoever we have cried out unto him.

So shall it be, when Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land, which he sware to thy fathers - to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob to give unto thee, - into cities great and goodly, which thou didst not build;

a land which Yahweh thy God careth for, - continually are the eyes of Yahweh thy God upon it, from the beginning of the year, even unto the end of the year.

Set forth for you - men wise and discerning, and known to your tribes, - that I may appoint them to be heads over you.

See thou - Yahweh thy God hath set before thee the land, - go up - take possession as Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath spoken unto thee, do not fear, neither be dismayed.

Take heed to thyself, lest thou cause thine ascending-sacrifice to go up in just any place which thou shalt see;

And we captured all his cities, at that time, there was no fortress which we took not from them, - sixty cities all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

Long enough, have ye encompassed this mountain, - turn yourselves north, wards.

Yahweh your God hath multiplied you, and here ye are to-day, like the stars of the heavens for multitude.

and thou shalt enquire, and search out, and ask diligently, - and lo! true - certain, is the thing, this abomination, hath been done, in thy midst,

So I took heads for your tribes wise men and known, and placed them as heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties and captains of tens, and overseers for your tribes.

Or what great nation which hath righteous statutes and regulations, like all this law, which, I, am setting before you to-day?

Take heed to thyself, lest thou forget Yahweh thy God, - so as not to keep his commandments and his regulations and his statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day;

How should I carry by myself the fatigue of you and the burden of you and your controversies?

And I charged your judges, at that time, saying, - Ye are to hear between your brethren and shall judge righteously, between each magi and his brother and his sojourner.

And when we brake up from Horeb, we came through all that great and terrible desert which ye saw, by way of the hill-country of the Amorites, as Yahweh our God commanded us, - and we entered in as far as Kadesh-barnea.

every man according as his hand can give, - according to the blessing of Yahweh thy God, which he hath bestowed upon thee.

Thou shalt not make unto thee an image, any form that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the waters beneath the earth:

So then it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Yahweh gave unto me the two tables of stone the tables of the covenant.

And ye answered me, - and said, Good, is the word which thou hast spoken to be done.

Then said I unto you, - Ye are come in as far as the hill-country of the Amorites, which Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.

Ye shall not take note of faces in judgment - so the small as the great, shall ye hear, ye shall not shrink from the face of any man, for judgment, unto God, belongeth, - but the thing which is too hard for you, shall ye bring near unto me, and I will hear it.

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

And they took in their hand of the fruit of the country, and bare it down unto us, and brought us back word, and said, Good is the land, which Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.

thou shalt not bow thyself down to them nor be led to serve them, - for, I Yahweh thy God, am a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons even unto three generations and unto four, unto them that hate me;

but, in the place which Yahweh shall choose in one of thy tribes, there, shalt thou cause thine ascending-sacrifice to go up, and, there, shalt thou do all that I am commanding thee.

And they turned and went up the hill-country, and entered in as far as the ravine of Eshcol, and explored it.

and the female ostrich, and the male ostrich and the sea-gull, - and the hawk, after its kind;

What day thou didst stand before Yahweh thy God, in Horeb, when Yahweh said unto me, Gather unto me the people, that I may let them hear my words, - which they must learn that they may revere me all the days which they are living upon the soil, their children also, must they teach.

then shalt thou smite, the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, devoting it to destruction, and all that is therein and the cattle thereof: with the edge of the sword, -

to keep the commandments of Yahweh and his statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day, - for thy good?

take heed unto thyself, lest thou forget Yahweh, - who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt out of the house of servants.

and houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and hewn cisterns which thou hewedst not, vineyards and oliveyards which thou plantedst not, - and shalt eat and be full,

then shall ye bring them, both, out unto the gate of that city, and stone them with stones that they die, the damsel, because she made not an outcry in the city, and the man because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife, - so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst.

But when there shall be in any man a sin worthy of death and he is to be put to death, - and thou shalt hang him on a tree,

Lo! unto Yahweh thy God, belong the heavens even the highest heavens, - the earth, with all that is therein.

And it shall be, if he shall say unto thee, I will not go away from thee, - because he loveth thee, and thy household, because he is well off with thee,

but requiting them who hate him unto his face to destroy them, - he will not be slack towards him that hateth him, unto his face, will he requite him.

Nevertheless ye were not willing to go up, - but rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, your God;

for a jealous GOD, is Yahweh thy God in thy midst, - lest the anger of Yahweh thy God kindle upon thee, and so he destroy thee from off the face of the ground.

And ye came near unto me all of you, and said Let us send men before us, that they may search out for us the land, - and bring us back word, the way by which we must go up, and the cities whereinto we must enter,

lest thou eat, and be satisfied, - and goodly houses, thou build and inhabit;

A wife, shalt thou betroth, and, another man shall lie with her. A house, shalt thou build, and shalt not dwell therein, - A vineyard, shalt thou plant, and shalt not throw it open;

Then said Yahweh unto me - Up! get down quickly out of this mountain, for thy people whom thou hast brought forth out of Egypt, have broken faith, - they have turned aside quickly, out of the way which I commanded them, - they have made them a molten image.

When thou enterest into the vineyard of thy neighbour, then mayest thou eat grapes at thy pleasure to thy fill,-but into thy vessel, shalt thou put none.

Is not, that, stored up with me, - Sealed up amongst my treasures;

And the thing, was good in mine eyes, - so I took from among you twelve men, one man for each tribe.

to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, - As spake Yahweh.

Whither, are, we, to go up? Our own brethren, have made our heart melt saying - A people greater and taller than we, cities large and walled-up into the heavens, - yea, moreover sons of Anakim, have we seen there.

but shewing lovingkindness unto a thousand generation - unto them who love me, and keep my commandments:

and all the spoil thereof, shalt thou gather together into the midst of the broad way thereof, and shalt consume with fire the city and all the spoil thereof every whirl unto Yahweh thy God, - and it shall be a heap unto times age-abiding, it shall be built no more.

Thou shalt not utter the name of Yahweh thy God, for falsehood, - for Yahweh will not at him go unpunished who uttereth his name for falsehood:

Howbeit of anything thy soul desireth, mayest thou sacrifice and so eat flesh - according to the blessing of Yahweh thy God which he hath bestowed upon thee, in all thy gates, the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, - as the gazelle and as the hart,

Therefore must ye circumcise the foreskin of your hearts, - and your necks, must ye stiffen no more.

Then declared he unto you his covenant which he commanded you to do, the ten words, - and wrote them upon two tables of stone.

So shalt thou keep the commandment and the statutes and the regulations, which I am commanding thee to-day, to do them.

and so thy heart be lifted up, - and thou forget Yahweh thy God, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt out of the house of servants;

but, the seventh day, is a sabbath unto Yahweh thy God, - thou shalt do no work - thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy servant nor thy handmaid nor thine ox nor thine ass nor any of thy cattle, nor thy sojourner who is within thy gates, that thy servant and thy handmaid may rest, as well as thou.

All these, were fortified cities each with a high wall, folding gates and a bar, - besides country towns exceeding many.

So ye drew near and stood, under the mountain. Now, the mountain, was burning with fire, up to the midst of the heavens, - darkness, cloud, and thick gloom.

Then shall it come to pass if ye will hearken unto these regulations, and keep and do them, then will Yahweh thy God keep with thee the covenant and the lovingkindness which he sware unto thy fathers;

Thou shalt not commit murder:

who caused thee to journey through the great and terrible desert, of fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty wastes where was no water, - who brought forth for thee water out of the flinty rock;

And, the people, command thou saying, Ye are about to pass through the boundary of your brethren the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, - and should they he afraid of you, take ye good heed to yourselves:

who fed thee with manna in the desert, which thy fathers had not known, - that he might humble thee, and that he might put thee to the proof, to do thee good in thy hereafter,

Then shalt thou say unto thy son, Servants, were we unto Pharaoh in Egypt, - and Yahweh brought us forth out of Egypt with a firm hand;

executing the vindication of the orphan and the widow, - and loving sojourner, giving him food and raiment.

then saith he I will give the rain of your land in it season, the early rain and the latter rain; so shalt thou gather in thy corn, and thy new wine and thine oil;

also in the desert which thou hast seen, where Yahweh thy God carried thee as a man will carry his son, throughout all the way that ye journeyed, until ye entered as far as, this place.

and thy herd and thy flock, increase, and silver and gold, increase unto thee, - and all that thou hast, increase;

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

Yahweh your God, who is going before you, he, will fight for you, - according to all that he did with you in Egypt, before your eyes;

Therefore shall ye love the sojourner, - for sojourners, became ye in the land of Egypt.

Ye shall not go after other gods, - of the gods of the peoples who are surrounding you;

or lest thou shouldest lift up thine eyes towards the heavens and see the sun and the moon, and the stars - all the host of the heavens, and shouldest be seduced, and shouldest bow thyself down to them and he led to serve them, - the which Yahweh thy God hath assigned unto all the peoples under all the heavens;

and, they who remain shall hear and fear, - and not go on to do again according to this wicked thing, in thy midst:

Howbeit, the blood, shall ye not eat, - upon the earth, shalt thou pour it out, like water.

and the pelican and the bittern, and the swan;

so shall it be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life, - that he may learn to revere Yahweh his God, to observe all the words of this law and these statutes to do them:

Thou mayest not eat within thy gates, the tithe of thy corn or of thy new wine or of thine oil, or the firstlings of thy herd, or of thy flock, - nor any of thy vow-offerings which thou shalt vow, nor thy freewill, offerings, nor the heave-offering of thy hand;

Then I said unto you, - Ye must not tremble, nor be afraid of them:

Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be befooled, - and ye turn aside and serve other gods, and bow down to them.

Thy sons and thy daughters given to another people, thine eyes looking on, and failing for them all the day, thine own hand being powerless.

and lest thou shouldest say in thy heart, - Mine own strength and the might of mine own hand, have gotten me this wealth.

So I turned, and came down out of the mountain, now the mountain was burning with fire, - and the two tables of the covenant were upon my two hands.

like the nations which, Yahweh, is causing to perish from before you, so, shall ye perish, because ye would not hearken unto the voice of Yahweh your God.

that thou mayest revere Yahweh thy God, so as to keep all his statutes and his commandments which I am commanding thee, thou and thy son and thy sons' son, all the days of thy life, - and that thy days may be prolonged.

But it shall be if thou forget, Yahweh thy God, and go after ether gods, and serve them, and bow thyself down to them, I testify against you to-day, that ye shall perish:

Then spake Yahweh unto you out of the midst of the fire, - a voice of words, ye were hearing, no form, were ye seeing, there was only a voice.

Only unto thy fathers, Yahweh became attached so as to love them, - therefore made he choice of their seed after them - of you - out of all the peoples, (as at this day).

but before Yahweh thy God, shalt thou eat it in the place which Yahweh thy God shall choose, thou and thy son and thy daughter, and thy servant and thy handmaid, and the Levite who is within thy gates, - so shalt thou rejoice before Yahweh thy God, in all whereunto thou puttest thy hand.

do not engage in strife with them, for I will not give you of their land, so much as place for the tread of a foot-sole, - for as a possession to Esau, have I given Mount Seir.

and will love thee, and bless thee and multiply thee, - and bless the fruit of thy body and the fruit of thy ground thy corn and a thy new wine and thine ell the young of thy kine and the ewes of thy flock, upon the soil which he swart unto thy fathers to give unto thee.

So shall there not cleave to thy hand aught of the devoted thing, - that Yahweh may turn away, from the glow of his anger and grant thee compassion and have compassion upon thee and multiply thee, as he sware unto thy fathers;

Food, shall ye buy of them with silver so shall ye eat, - yea even water, shall ye buy of them with silver so shall ye drink.

Howbeit, thy holy things which thou shalt have and thy vow-offerings, shalt thou take and come in, unto the place which Yahweh shall choose;

For who is there of all flesh, that ever heard the voice of a Living God speaking out of the midst of fire as we, and yet lived?

Take heed to yourselves lest ye forget the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he hath solemnised with you, - and so make for yourselves an image, the form of anything, the which Yahweh thy God hath forbidden thee;

So shalt thou remember that a servant, wast thou in the land of Egypt, and that Yahweh thy God brought thee forth from thence, with a firm hand, and with a stretched-out arm, - for this cause, hath Yahweh thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day:

so long as thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, to keep all his commandments, which I am commanding thee to-day, - to do what is right in the eyes of Yahweh thy God.

Hear O Israel! thou art passing, to-day, over the Jordan, to go in to dispossess nations, greater and stronger than thou, - cities great and fortified into the heavens;

and Yahweh put forth signs and wonders great and sore upon Egypt upon Pharaoh and upon all his household before our eyes;

Thou shalt not wrest judgment, thou shalt not take note of faces, - nor shalt thou accept a bribe, for the bribe, blindeth the eyes of wise men, and perverteth the words of righteous men.

Then lay I prostrate before Yahweh as at the first, forty days and forty nights, food, did I not eat, and water, did I not drink, - because of all your sin which ye had sinned, in doing the thing that was wicked, in the eyes of Yahweh. to provoke him to anger.

And we devoted them to destruction, doing unto them as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, - devoting to destruction every city of males, the women, and the little ones.

So I seized the two tables, and cast them from off my two hands, - and brake them in pieces before your eyes.

When thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, - What mean the testimonies and the statutes and the regulations, which Yahweh our God commanded you?

then shalt thou take an awl and thrust it through his ear unto the door, so shall he be thy servant all his life. And unto thine handmaid also, shalt thou do thus.

so shalt thou do what is right and what is pleasing in the eyes of Yahweh, - that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest enter in and possess the good land, which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers;

For I shrank with fear from the face of the anger and the hot displeasure, wherewith Yahweh was provoked against you to destroy you, - but Yahweh hearkened unto me, even at that time.

and ye shall teach them unto your children by speaking of them, - when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up;

And with Aaron, did Yahweh show himself exceedingly angry, to destroy him, - so I prostrated myself, even in behalf of Aaron at that time.

a land of wheat and barley, and vine and fig-tree, and pomegranate, - a land of olive oil, and honey:

and Yahweh, will turn away, from thee, all disease, - and as for all the sore sicknesses of Egypt which thou knowest, he will not lay them upon thee, but will put them upon all who hate thee;

Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and wipe out their name from under the heavens, - and make thee into a nation stronger and more in number than they.

neither shall thine eye pity, - life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

Blessed shalt thou be beyond all the peoples, - there shall not be in thee a barren male or female, nor among thy cattle;

Thou shalt not do likewise unto Yahweh thy God, - for everything that is an abomination unto Yahweh which he doth hate, have they done unto their gods, for even their sons and their daughters, do they consume with fire unto their gods.

When thou enterest the standing corn of thy neighbour, thou mayest pluck off ears with thy hand, - but a sickle, shalt thou not wield against the standing corn of thy neighbour.

For, Yahweh thy God, is bringing thee into a good land; a land of ravines of water, of fountains and depths, coming forth in valley, and in mountain:

and I will give grass in thy field for thy cattle, - and thou shalt eat and be satisfied.

As seventy souls, went thy fathers down to Egypt, - and, now, Yahweh thy God hath made thee like the stars of the heavens for multitude.

that his heart may not be lifted up above his brethren, and he may not turn aside from the commandment to the right hand or to the left, - that he may prolong his days over his kingdom - he and his sons, in the midst of Israel.

But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, made we our prey.

Thou must consider, then with thy heart, - that as a man chasteneth his son, Yahweh thy God, hath been chastening thee.

And your sin which ye had made even the calf, took I and burned it up with fire, and pounded it very small, until it was fine as dust, - then cast I the dust thereof into the torrent that descended out of the mountain.

So would the anger of Yahweh kindle upon you and he would shut up the heavens, that them should he no rain, and the ground, would not yield her increase, - so should ye perish speedily, from off the good land, which Yahweh is giving unto you.

Take heed to thyself, lest thou forsake the Levite, - all thy days upon thy soil.

whereas you, hath Yahweh taken, and brought you forth out of a smelting-pot of iron, out of Egypt, - that ye might become his own inherited people as at this day.

and thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house and within thy gates:

Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments of Yahweh thy God, - to walk in his ways and to revere him.

And unto me, gave Yahweh command, at that time, to teach you statutes and regulations, - that ye should do them, in the land whereinto ye are passing over to possess it.

and the vomiting pelican and the little vulture and the gannet;

seeing that as for Yahweh thy God, a consuming fire, he is, - a jealous GOD.

Thus, then lay I prostrate before Yahweh, the forty days and the forty nights that I did lie prostrate, - because Yahweh spake of destroying you.

every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread yours, shall it be, - from the desert and the Lebanon from the river - the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea, shall be your boundary.

Neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's wife, - neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's house, his field, or his servant, or his handmaid, his ox or his ass, or anything that is thy neighbour's.

Thus did we at that time take the land out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites (which was over the Jordan), - from the ravine of Arnon as far as Mount Hermon.

For Yahweh thy God, hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand, he hath considered thy traversing of this great desert, - these forty years, hath Yahweh thy God been with thee, thou hast lacked, nothing.

When Yahweh thy God shall enlarge thy boundary - as he hath spoken unto thee - and thou shalt say. I would eat flesh because thy soul desireth to eat flesh, of whatsoever thy soul desireth, mayest thou eat flesh.

And your little ones, of whom ye said they should become, a prey, and your sons who to-day know not good and evil, they, shall enter in thither, - and unto them, will I give it, and they, shall possess it.

And Yahweh spake unto me saying, - I have looked on this people, and lo! a stiff-necked people, it is.

Ye shall, keep, the commandments of Yahweh your God and his testimonies and his statutes which he hath commanded thee;

Howbeit firmly refrain from eating the blood; for the blood, is the life, - therefore must thou not eat the life with the flesh.

that your days may multiply, and the days of your children, upon rite soil which Yahweh sware unto your fathers, to give unto them, - like the days of the heavens upon the earth.

take heed to thyself lest thou be thrust after them, after they have been destroyed from before thee, - and lest thou enquire after their gods, saying - In what manner, did these nations serve their gods, that, I too, may do likewise?

For if ye do, indeed keep, all this commandment which I am commanding you to do it, - to love Yahweh your God, to Walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him,

All the cities of the table-land, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, - unto Salecah, and Edrei, - cities of the kingdom of Og, in Bashan.

So then Yahweh commanded us to do all these statutes, to revere Yahweh our God, - for our good, all the days, to preserve us alive as at this day;

These are the statutes and the regulations which ye must observe to do, in the land which Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath given unto thee, to possess it, - all the days that ye are living upon the sell:

When the place which Yahweh thy God shall choose to put his name there, shall be I too far for thee, then shalt thou sacrifice of thy herd or of thy flock which Yahweh hath given unto thee, as I have commanded thee, - and shalt eat, within thine own gates, of whatsoever thy soul desireth.

and thou shalt devour all the peoples whom, Yahweh thy God, delivering up unto thee, thine eye shall not look with pity upon them, neither shalt thou serve their gods, for a snare, would it be unto thee.

So we passed on, a way from our brethren the sons of Esau who dwell in Seir, from the way of the waste plain, from Elath, and from Ezion-geber, - and we turned and passed on by way of the desert of Moab.

but, unto the place which Yahweh your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, - as his habitation, shall ye ask your way, and come in thither;

Then will he say, Where are their gods, The rock in whom they have trusted;

but, unto the damsel, shalt thou do nothing, the damsel, is not guilty of a sin worthy of death, for as when a man riseth up against his neighbour, and smiteth him so as to take away life, so, is this matter;

For, only Og, king of Bashan was left remaining of the remnant of the giants, lo! his bedstead, was a bedstead of iron, is not, the same, in Rabbath of the sons of Ammon? nine cubits, the length thereof and four cubits, the breadth thereof, by the fore-arm of a man.

the Emim, formerly dwelt therein, - a people great and many and tall, like the Anakim.

Neither shalt thou commit adultery:

Therefore shalt thou hear, O Israel, and shalt observe to do, that it may be well with thee, and that ye may multiply greatly, as Yahweh the God of thy fathom hath spoken to thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

At that time, said Yahweh unto me - Cut thee out two tables of stone like the first, and come up unto me into the mountain, - and make thee an ark of wood;

lest ye should break faith, and make you an image, a form of any likeness, - a model of male or female;

not because ye were more in number than any of the peoples, did Yahweh become attached to you and make choice of you, - for, ye, were fewer than any of the peoples;

Therefore shalt thou love Yahweh thy God and keep his observance and his statutes and his regulations and his commandments all the days.

A man shall not take his father's wife, - neither shall he turn aside his father's coverlet.

Observe and hear all these things which I am commanding thee, - that it may be well with thee and with thy children after thee, - unto times age-abiding, so long as thou shalt do that which is pleasing and right in the eyes of Yahweh thy God.

And Yahweh said unto me - Do not lay siege to Moab, nor engage in strife with them in battle, - for I will not give unto thee of his and as a possession, for unto the sons of Lot, have I given Ar, as a possession.

When Yahweh thy God shall cut off from before thee, the nations Whom thou art going in to dispossess, - and thou do dispossess them, and dwell in their land,

neither shalt thou intermarry with them, - thy daughter, shalt thou not give unto his son, nor his daughter, shalt thou take for thy son;

who was going before you in the way - to search out for you a place, where ye might encamp, - in the fire by night, that ye might get sight of the way wherein ye should go, and in the cloud, by day.

Sidonians, call Hermon Sirion, - but, the Amorites, call it Senir.

and righteousness, shall it he to us, - when we take heed to do all this commandment, before Yahweh our God, as he commanded us.

Ye must utterly destroy, all the places where the nations whom ye are dispossessing have served their gods, - Upon the high mountains And upon the hills, And under every green tree;

These words, spake Yahweh unto all the convocation of you in the mount out of the midst of the fire the cloud and the thick gloom, a loud voice, and added not, - and he wrote them upon two tables of stone, and gave them unto me.

then shall it be, that unto the place which Yahweh your God shall choose to make a habitation for his name there, thither, shall ye bring in all that I am commanding you, - your ascending-offerings and your sacrifices your tithes and the heave-offering of your hand, and all your chosen vow-offerings which ye shall vow unto Yahweh.

He, is thy song of praise, And, he, thy God, - who hath done with thee these great and fearful things, which thine own eyes have seen.

And in Seir, dwelt the Horim aforetime, but, the sons of Esau, dispossessed them, and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead, - as did Israel unto the land of his own possession, which Yahweh had given unto them.

thou must not be afraid of them, - thou must, remember, what Yahweh thy God did, unto Pharaoh and unto all Egypt:

Thou shalt not eat it, - upon the earth, shalt thou pour it out, like water.

Although thou mightest say in thy heart: More in number, are these nations than I, - how can, I dispossess them?

Even as the gazelle and the hart is eaten, so, shalt thou eat it, - the unclean and the clean, alike shall eat it.

Thine ox slaughtered before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof, Thine ass stolen from before thee, and shall not be restored to thee, - Thy flock given to thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to save.

Ye must not do according to all that we are doing here to-day, - every man, whatsoever is right in his own eyes.

Then turned we and went up, the way of Bashan; and Og king of Bashan, came out to meet us, he, and all his people, to give battle at Edrei.

When thou shalt beget sons, and sons' sons, and become careless in the land and break faith and make an image the form of any thing, and shalt do the thing that is wicked in the eyes of Yahweh thy God provoking him to anger,

then will Yahweh dispossess all these nations, from before you, - and ye shall dispossess nations greater and stronger than ye:

Then turned we, and set forward towards the desert by way of the Red Sea, as Yahweh, spake unto me; and we encompassed Mount Seir many days.

the blessing, when ye shall hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I am commanding you to-day;

Thou shalt not eat it, - that is may be well With thee and With thy children after the when thou shalt do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh.

Moreover also, the hornet, will Yahweh thy God send among them, - until they are destroyed who are left remaining, and who are hiding themselves from thy face.

and Yahweh thy God shall deliver them up before thee, and thou shalt smite them, thou shalt devote them to destruction, thou shalt not solemnise with them a covenant neither shalt thou shew them favour;

And it shall come to pass when Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land which thou art entering to possess, then shalt thou put the blessing, upon Mount Gerizim, and the curse, upon Mount Ebal.

For the land which thou art entering to, possess, not like the land of Egypt, it is, from whence ye came out, - where thou didst sow thy seed, and then water it with thy foot, like a garden of herbs;

and shall eat there before Yahweh your God, and rejoice in all whereunto ye are putting your hand, Ye, and your households, - wherewith Yahweh thy God hath blessed thee.

For I lift up unto the heavens my hand, - And say, Living am, I, unto times age-abiding:

Giants, used, they also, to be accounted like the Anakim, - but the Moabites, called them Emim.

Thou shalt not be affrighted at their presence, - for Yahweh thy God in thy midst is a Go great and to be revered.

And this land, took we in possession at that time, - from Aroer which is by the ravine of Arnon, and half the hill-country of Gilead and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites;

and the curse if ye, shall not hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh your God, but shall turn aside out of the way which I am commanding you to-day, - to go after other gods which ye know not.

a model of any beast that is in the earth, - a mode of any winged bird, that flieth in the heavens;

and shalt offer thine ascending-sacrifices, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of Yahweh thy God, - and the blood of thine other sacrifices, shall be poured out upon the altar of Yahweh thy God, and then the flesh, shalt thou eat.

And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, the mountain also burning with fire, then drew ye near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes and your elders,

but he brought us forth from thence, - that he might bring us in, to give unto us the land, which he sware unto our fathers.

And ye must tear down their altars And break in pieces their pillars, And, their sacred stems, must ye consume with fire, And the carved images of their gods, must ye fell to the ground, - And destroy their name out of that place.

a model of any thing that creepeth on the ground, - a model of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth;

I take both the heavens and the earth to witness against you to-day, that ye shall, perish, speed, from off the land which ye are passing over the Jordan to possess, - ye shall not prolong your days thereupon; for, ye shall surely be laid waste;

But, when ye shall pass over the Jordan, and settle down in the land which, Yahweh your God, is causing you to inherit, - and he shall give you rest from all your enemies round about, and ye shall dwell securely,

No man shall stand before you, - the dread of you and the fear of you, will Yahweh your God put forth over the face of all the land whereon ye shall tread, as he spake unto you.

Are, they, not over the Jordan on the way towards the entering in of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite who dwelleth in the plain over against Gilgal beside the Teacher's Terebinths?

In thy distress, when all these things have found thee out - in the afterpart of the days, thou wilt return unto Yahweh thy God, and writ hearken to his voice.

and what he did to Dathan and to Abiram, sons of Eliab, son of Reuben, in that the earth opened wide her mouth, and swallowed-up them and their households and their tents, - and all the living things that attended them, in the midst of all Israel.

So shall ye rejoice before Yahweh your God, Ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your servants and your handmaids, - and the Levite that is within your gates, forasmuch as he hath neither portion nor inheritance with you.

and bring in thither your ascending-offerings and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, - and your vow-offerings and your freewill-offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock;

The carved images of their gods, shalt thou consume with fire, - thou shalt not covet the silver and gold upon them to take unto thee, lest thou be ensnared thereby; for the abomination of Yahweh thy God, it is;

And, the sons of Israel, set forward out of Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah, - there, died Aaron and was buried there, and Eleazar his son became priest in his stead.

Then sought I Yahweh at that time, for a favour saying:

For Yahweh will vindicate his people, And upon his servants, will have compassion, - When he seeth that strength is exhausted, And there is no one shut up or at large,

but the land whereinto ye are passing over to, possess it, is a land of hills, and valleys, - which of the rain of the heavens, cloth drink water:

and will deliver their kings into thy hand and thou shalt destroy their name, from under the heavens, - not a man shall stand before thee, until thou hast destroyed them.

And ye must know to-day, (for not with your sons do I speak who know not, neither have they seen) the discipline of Yahweh your God, - his greatness, his firm hand, and his stretched-out arm;

But Yahweh thy God will deliver them up before thee, - and discomfit them with a great discomfiture, until they are destroyed;

And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites, gave I - from Gilead even as far as the ravine of Arnon, the middle of the ravine and boundary, - even as far as the Jabbok ravine, the boundary of the sons

Jair, son of Manasseh, took all the region of Argob, as far as the boundary of the Geshurites, and the Maachathites, - and called them after his own name The Bashan of Havvoth-jair unto this day.

So it came to pass when all the men of war were consumed by dying, out of the midst of the people,

the great provings which thine own eyes saw, and the signs and the wonders and the firm hand and the stretched-out arm, wherewith Yahweh thy God brought thee forth, - so, will Yahweh thy God do unto all the peoples, before whom thou art afraid.

Now, the days in which we journeyed from Kadesh-barnea, as far as where we crossed the ravine of Zered, were thirty-eight years, - until all the generation of the men of war were consumed out of the midst of the camp, as Yahweh had sworn unto them.

So will Yahweh thy God, clear away these nations from before thee little by little, - thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the wild beast of the field should multiply ever thee.

but the remainder of Gilead, and all Bashan the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh, - all the region of the Argob with all Bashan. The same, is called, A land of giants.

But, Yahweh shewed himself angry with me, for your sakes, - and sware that I should not pass over the Jordan, and that I should not enter into the good land, which, Yahweh thy God, is giving unto thee as an inheritance;

The poison of large serpents, is their wine, - Yea the fierce venom of asps.

and thou shalt not bring an abomination into thy house, and so become devoted to destruction, like it, thou shalt, abhor, it, and thou shalt, loathe it, because a thing devoted to destruction, it is.

and ye said - Lo! Yahweh our God hath let us see his glory and his greatness, his voice also, have we heard out of the midst of the fire, - this day, have we seen, that God may speak with man who yet may live.

Ammon; the Waste Plain also and the Jordan and boundary, - from Chinnereth, even as far as the sea of the Waste Plain the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah, on the east.

Neither shalt thou testify against thy neighbour with a witness of falsehood:

And, unto Machir, gave I Gilead;

Now, arise, and pass ye over the ravine of Zered. So we passed over the ravine of Zered.

Neither shalt thou steal:

Thy mantle, hath not fallen with age from off thee, and, thy foot, hath not become swollen, - these forty years.

and Yahweh will scatter you among the peoples, - and ye shall have left remaining of you men easily counted, among the nations whither Yahweh will drive you;

And he wrote upon the tables according to the first writing - the ten words, which Yahweh had spoken unto you in the mountain, out of the midst of the fire in the day of the convocation, - and Yahweh delivered them unto me.

Therefore shall ye keep all the commandment which I am commanding thee, today, - that ye may be strong, and so enter and possess the land, whither ye are passing over to possess it;

that I may write, upon the tables, the words which were on the first tables which thou brakest in pieces, - then shalt thou put them in the ark.

but, ye who kept on cleaving unto Yahweh your God, alive, are ye all to-day.

What is right, what is right, shalt thou pursue, - that thou mayest live and possess the land, which, Yahweh thy God, is giving unto thee.

and that ye may prolong your days upon the soil which Yahweh sware unto your fathers, to give unto them and unto their seed, - a land flowing with milk and honey.

At that time, did Yahweh separate the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, - to stand before Yahweh to wait upon him and to bless in his name (until this day).

Yahweh our God, solemnised with us a covenant in Horeb:

then spake Yahweh unto me, saying:

But if in the field, the man find the betrothed damsel and the man force her and lie with her, then shall the man that lay with her die he alone;

Verily, thus, shall ye do unto them: Their altars, shall ye tear down, And their pillars, shall ye break in pieces, - And their sacred stems, shall ye hew down, And their carved images, a shall ye burn up in the fire.

and his signs and his doings, which he did in the midst of Egypt, - unto Pharaoh king of Egypt and unto all his land;

This day, will I begin to extend the dread of thee and the fear of thee over the face of the peoples under all the heavens, - who will hear the report of thee, then will they quake and writhe in pain because of thee.

A land of giants, used, that also, to be accounted, - giants, dwelt therein aforetime, but the Ammonites, called them Zamzummim:

I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, And, my sword, shall devour flesh, - With the blood of the slain and the captive, With the flesh of the chief leader of the foe.

and what he did unto the forces of Egypt - unto his horses and unto his chariots in that he caused the waters of the Red Sea to flow over their faces, when they were pursuing after you, - and so Yahweh destroyed them (unto this day);

Jeshua also, commanded I, at that time saying, - Thine are the eyes, that have seen all that Yahweh your God hath done unto these two kings, thus, will Yahweh do unto all the kingdoms whereunto thou, art passing over:

But, I, stayed in the mountain according to the former days, forty days and forty nights, - and Yahweh hearkened unto me at that time also, Yahweh was not willing a to destroy thee.

From thence, set they forward unto the Gudgodah, - and from the Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of torrents of water.

The Avvim also, who dwelt in settlements as far as Gaza, Caphtorim, who were coming forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.

For yours, are the eyes that have seen every great deed of Yahweh, - which he hath done.

Face to face, spake Yahweh with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire,

(I was standing between Yahweh and you, at that time, to declare unto you the word of Yahweh, - for ye shrank with fear from the presence of the fire, and went not up in the mount) saying: -

Now, therefore why should we die? for this great fire, will consume, us, - if we ourselves, hear the voice of Yahweh our God any more, we shall die.

For this cause, hath Levi neither portion nor inheritance with his brethren, - Yahweh, is his inheritance, as Yahweh thy God spake unto him.

Arise ye, set forward and cross over the ravine of Arnon, see! I have given into thy hand - Sihon king of Heshbon, the Amorite and his land, begin - take possession, - and engage in strife with him in battle.

Ye must not do thus unto Yahweh your God;

Then turned I, and came down out of the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made, - and they have remained there, as Yahweh commanded me.

Go, thou, near, and hear, all that Yahweh our God shall say, - so shalt thou speak unto us, all that Yahweh our God shall speak unto thee and we will hear and do.

And Yahweh heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me, - and Yahweh 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 which they have spoken.

as he did for the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, - when he destroyed the Horim from before them, and they took their possessions and have dwelt in their stead, even unto this day.

When brethren dwell together, and one of them dieth, having, no son, the wife of the dead shall not marry outside to a stranger, - her husband's brother, shall go in unto her, and take her unto him to wife and do for her as a husband's brother.

Because ye have not entered as yet, - into the resting-place and into the inheritance which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee.

So I sent messengers out of the desert of Kademoth, unto Sihon, king of Heshbon, - with words of peace saying:

a people great and many and tall, like the Anakim, - but Yahweh destroyed them from before them, and they took their possessions, and dwelt in their stead:

so wilt thou draw near over against the sons of Ammon, do not thou besiege them neither engage in strife with them, - for I will not give of the land of the sons of Ammon unto thee as a possession, for unto the sons of Lot, have I given it as a possession.

My Lord Yahweh, thou thyself, hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy firm hand, - as to which, what GOD is there, in the heavens or in the earth, that can do according to thy doings, and according to thy mighty deeds?

for he will turn aside thy son from following me, and they will serve other gods, - so shall the anger of Yahweh kindle upon you, and he will destroy thee, speedily.

and ye will serve there gods made by the hands of man, - wood or stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.

Yours are the eyes, that have seen what Yahweh did in Baal-peor, for every man who went after Baal-peor, did Yahweh thy God destroy out of thy midst;

So I commanded you, at that time saying, - Yahweh your God hath given unto you this land to possess it, armed, shall ye pass over before your brethren the sons of Israel all the sons of valour,

So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut out two tables of stone like the first, - and went up the mountain, having the two tables in my hand.

and the stork, and the parrot, after its kind, - and the mountain-cock, and the bat.

Yea, even the hand of Yahweh was against them, to destroy them out of the midst of the camp, - until they were consumed.

And Yahweh heard the voice of your words, - and was wroth and sware - saying:

And Yahweh spake unto me, saying:

not with our fathers did Yahweh solemnise this covenant, - but with us, ourselves - these here to-day, all of us living.

Then did Yahweh our God deliver into our hand, Og also, king of Bashan and all his people, - so we smote him until there was not left remaining to him a survivor.

And Yahweh said unto me: Do not fear him, for into thy hand, have I delivered him and all his people and his land, - so then thou shalt do unto him, as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites who was dwelling in Heshbon.

Ascend the top of the Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes - westward, and northward and southward and eastward - and see with thine own eyes, - for thou shalt not pass over this Jordan.

Thou shalt not plant thee, as a sacred stem, any tree, - near unto the altar of Yahweh thy God which thou shalt make for thyself;

Thou, therefore here stand with me and let me speak unto thee - all the commandment and the statutes and the regulations which thou shalt teach them, - that they may do them in the land which I am giving unto them to possess it.

So then, thou must know that, Yahweh thy God, he, is God, - the faithful GOD, keeping his covenant and his lovingkindness with them that love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations

Thou, art passing, to-day, the boundary of Moab even Ar;

and what he did unto you, in the desert, - until ye came in as far as this place;

Only, your wives and your little ones and your cattle - I know that ye have much cattle - shall abide in your cities which I have given unto you;

But Yahweh had been provoked with me for your sakes, and hearkened not unto me, - and Yahweh said unto me, Enough for thee! do not add a word unto me further in this matter.

Let me pass over, I pray thee that I may see the good land that is over the Jordan, - this good mountain, and the Lebanon.

ye shall not fear them, - for, Yahweh your God, he, it is that is fighting for you.

until that Yahweh shall give rest unto your brethren, as well as you, so shall, they too, possess the land which, Yahweh your God, is giving unto them, over the Jordan, - then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given unto you.

When there cometh to be among you a needy person any one of thy brethren within any one of thy gates, in thy land, which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart nor shut thy hand from thy needy brother;

It shall not be hard in thine eyes when thou lettest him go out free, from thee; for to the double of the hire of a hireling, hath he served thee six years, - -so will Yahweh thy God bless thee, in all that thou doest.

Surely, not one of these men, this wicked generation, - shall see the good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers:

So then, thou shalt remember all the way in which Yahweh thy God caused thee to journey these forty years in the desert, - that he might humble time to put thee to the proof to know what was in thy heart, - whether thou wouldest keep his commandments or not.

Every firstling that is brought forth in thy herd and in thy flock that is a male, shalt thou hallow unto Yahweh thy God, - thou shalt not work with a firstling of thine oxen, neither shalt thou shear a firstling of thy flock:

Unto the days of vengeance and requital: Unto the time their foot shall totter? For, near, is the day of their fate, And their destiny speedeth on.

as the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, did to me, and the Moabites who are dwelling in Ar, - until that I pass over the Jordan, into the land which, Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.

But command thou Joshua and confirm him and embolden him, - for, he, shall pass over before this people, and, he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.

Thou shalt surely tithe, all the increase of thy seed, - which the field bringeth forth year by year.

If thou shalt seek from thence, Yahweh thy God, then shalt thou find him, - when thou shalt search after him with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.

Food for silver, shalt thou sell me so will I eat, and water for silver, shalt thou let me have, so will I drink, - only I would pass through on my feet; -

I would pass along through thy land, by the road, by the road, will I go, - I will not turn aside, to the right hand or to the left:

But as for you, turn ye, for your part, - and set forward towards the desert, by way of the Red Sea.

Go, say unto them, - Return ye to your tents.

to dispossess nations, greater and stronger than thou from before thee, - to bring thee in. to give unto thee their land for an inheritance: As at this day.

So we abode in the valley, over against Beth-peor.

These, are the words, which Moses spake unto all Israel, over the Jordan, - in the wilderness in the waste plain over against Suph, between Paran and Tophel, and Laban and Hazeroth and Di-zahab:

But it shall be, if thou do not hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I am commanding thee to-day, then shall come in upon thee all these curses and shall reach thee: -

See, now, that, I, I, am, he that is, And there are no gods with me, - I, kill - and make alive, I wound and, I, heal, And there is none who, from my hand, can deliver,

When the Most High gave inheritances unto the nations, When he spread abroad the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the peoples, According to the number of the sons of Israel.

And it shall be when thou shalt enter into the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee for an inheritance, - and shalt possess it and dwell therein,

Ye shall not eat any thing that dieth of itself: to the sojourner who is within thy gates, mayest thou give it and he may eat it or thou mayest sell it to a foreigner, for a holy people, art thou unto Yahweh thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid, in the milk of its dam.

Observe the month of Abib, when thou shalt keep a passover unto Yahweh thy God, - for in the month of Abib, did Yahweh thy God bring thee forth out of Egypt by night:

Do not speak in thy heart, when Yahweh thy God casteth them out from before thee saying, For mine own righteousness, hath Yahweh brought me in, to possess this land, - whereas it is for the lawlessness of these nations, that, Yahweh, is dispossessing them from before thee.

When thou shalt go forth to war against thine enemies, - and Yahweh thy God shall deliver them into thy hand and thou shalt take them captive;

For as touching Yahweh your God, he, is God of gods, and Lord of lords; the great the mighty, and the fearful GOD, who respecteth not persons, nor accepteth a bribe;

Also when Yahweh sent you out of Kadesh-barnea saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given unto you then quarreled ye with the bidding of Yahweh your God, and trusted him not, neither hearkened unto his voice.

Remember - do not forget, how thou didst provoke Yahweh thy God, in the desert, - yea from the day when thou earnest forth out of the and of Egypt until ye entered as far as this place, have ye been quarrelling, with Yahweh.

But in this firing, ye were putting no trust in Yahweh your God;

One witness I shall not rise up, against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, with regard to any sin that he may commit, - at the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses, must a matter be establish.

When a man findeth a damsel that is a virgin who is not betrothed, and layeth hold of her and lieth with her, and they are found,

Above, is the God of aforetime, And, beneath, are the Arms of the ages, - So he driveth before thee the foe, And doth say - Destroy!

All clean fowls, ye may eat.

Therefore I prostrated myself unto Yahweh and said, My Lord Yahweh! Do not destroy thy people even thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed in thy greatness, - which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a firm hand.

And ye abode in Kadesh many days, - how many were the days that ye abode there !

When a man taketh a wife, - and goeth in unto her and hateth her;

saving Caleb son of Jephunneh, he, shall see it, and unto him, will I give the land through which he hath trodden, and unto his sons, - because he hath wholly followed Yahweh.

Not for thine own righteousness, nor for the uprightness of thine own heart, art thou going in to possess their land, - but or the lawlessness of these nations, is, Yahweh thy God driving them out from before thee, and that he may establish the word which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers, unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob.

Only take thou heed to thyself and keep thy soul diligently, so that thou forget not the things which thine own eyes have seen, and so that they go not out of thy heart, all the days of thy life, - but thou shalt make them known unto thy sons and unto thy son's sons: -

Observe the sabbath day, to hallow it, - as Yahweh thy God, hath commanded thee:

When I went up into the mountain to receive the tables of stone - the tables of the covenant, which Yahweh had solemnised with you, then abode I in the mountain forty days and forty nights, food, did I not, eat, and water, did I not drink.

Also, at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hataavah, a cause of provocation, became ye unto Yahweh.

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

When there shall be found in thy midst, within any of thy gates, which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, man or woman who doeth the thing which is wicked in the eyes of Yahweh thy God by transgressing his covenant;

And thou shalt eat before Yahweh thy God - in the place which he shall choose to make a habitation for his name there, - the tithe of thy corn thy new wine and thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock, - that thou mayest learn to revere Yahweh thy God all the days.

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

before Yahweh thy God, shalt thou eat it year by year, in the place which Yahweh shall choose, - thou, and thy households.

But it shall be when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, then shall he write for himself a copy of this law upon a scroll, out of that which is before the priests the Levites:

When thou shalt enter into the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, and shalt possess it and dwell therein, - and shalt say - I will set over me a king, like all the nations that are round about me,

Thou shalt not muzzle an ox when he is treading out the corn.

Yahweh thy God, shalt thou revere And him, shalt thou serve, - And by his name, shalt thou swear.

So then, thou must consider that, not for thine own righteousness, is Yahweh thy God giving unto thee this good land to possess it, - for a stiff-necked people, thou art.

And, as for every creeping thing that flieth, unclean, it is unto you, - they, shall not be eaten.

So then, thou must consider to-day, that Yahweh thy God, he it is that is passing over before thee as a consuming fire, he, will destroy them, and, he, will cause them to bow down before thee, - so shalt thou dispossess them, and destroy them speedily, as Yahweh hath spoken unto thee.

Ye have been quarrelling, with Yahweh, - from the day that I first knew you.

a people great and tall, the sons of Anakim, - whom, thou, knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the sons of Anak?

Thou shalt not have other gods, besides me:

Shout for joy O ye nations with his people, For the blood of his servants, he avengeth, - And, vengeance, he returneth unto his adversaries, And is propitious unto the soil of his people.

Fathers shall not be put to death for sons, nor shall sons, be put to death for fathers, - every man, for his own sin, shall he put to death.

Sons, are ye unto Yahweh your God, - ye shall not cut yourselves, neither shall ye put baldness between your eyes for the dead.

But, when there is in it any blemish, lameness or blindness, any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto Yahweh thy God:

When a man shall have two wives - the one beloved and, the other hated, and they have borne him sons, both she that is beloved, and she that is hated, - and it shall be that the firstborn son belongeth to her that is hated,

Yet, they, are thy people and thine inheritance, - whom thou hast brought forth with thy great strength, and with thy stretched-out arm.

Have remembrance of thy servants, of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob, - do not regard the obduracy of this people, or their lawlessness or their sin:

But of the cities of these peoples which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee as an inheritance, shalt thou not save alive, any breathing thing.

and shalt turn the silver into whatsoever thy soul desireth - of the herd or of the flock, or of wine or of strong drink, or of whatsoever thy soul shall ask thee for, - and shalt eat it there, before Yahweh thy God, and shalt rejoice, thou and thy household,

And, the man who shall do presumptuously by not hearkening unto the priest that standeth to minister there to Yahweh thy God, or unto the judge, that man shall die, and so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of Israel.

lest the land out of which thou hast brought us forth say, Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land of which he had spoken to them, - and because he hated them, took he them forth to put them to death in the desert.

For as touching this commandment, which I am commanding thee to-day, it is not, too wonderful, for thee, neither is it far off.

Honour thy father and thy mother, as Yahweh thy God hath commanded thee, - that thy days may be prolonged and that it may go well with thee, upon the soil which Yahweh thy God is about to give unto thee:

Neither an Ammonite nor a Moabite shall enter into the convocation of Yahweh, - even to the tenth generation, shall none that belong to them enter into the convocation of Yahweh, unto times age-abiding:

And thou shalt respond and say before Yahweh thy God - A Syrian ready to perish, was my father, so he went down to Egypt, and became a sojourner there with men only few; but he became there a nation great, mighty and numerous;

eleven days from Horeb, by way of Mount Seir, as far as Kadesh-barnea.

Three times in the year, shall each one of thy males see the face of Yahweh thy God, in the place which he shall choose, at the festival of unleavened cakes and at the festival of weeks and at the festival of booths, - and none shall see the face of Yahweh empty-handed:

There shall be no female devotee of the daughters of Israel, - neither shall there be, a male devotee, of the sons of Israel.

Even in Horeb, ye provoked Yahweh to wrath, - so that Yahweh showed himself angry with you to destroy you.

For ask, I pray you, of the former days which were before thee, even from the day when God created man upon the earth, yea from one end of the heavens even to the other end of the heavens, - whether aught was ever brought to pass, like this great thing, or was ever heard of like it:

When a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then shall, both, of them die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman, so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of Israel.

Give ear O ye heavens and I will speak, And let the earth hear the sayings of my mouth:

Therefore shall ye lay these my words upon your heart, and upon your soul, - and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall serve as bands between your eyes;

And it shall come to pass, when all these things shall come in upon thee - the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, - and thou shalt bring them back unto thy heart among all the nations whither Yahweh thy God hath driven thee;

And it shall come to pass, if ye will hearken, unto my commandments, which, I am commanding you to-day, - to love Yahweh your God, and to serve him, with, all your heart, and with all your soul,

The fruit of thy soil, and all thy toilsome produce, shall a people whom thou knowest not, eat up, - and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed, all the days;

Even with me, did Yahweh show himself angry, for your sakes, saying, - Even thou, shalt not enter therein.

And he said - Yahweh from Sinai, came near, - Yea he dawned, out of Seir, upon them, He shone forth out of Mount Paran, Yea he came out of holy myriads, - Out of his right hand proceeded fire to guide them.

neither shalt thou set thee up a pillar, - which Yahweh thy God, doth hate.

then shall the man who lay with her give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, - and she shall be, his, wife, because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away, all his days.

Neither he that hath been mutilated by crushing, nor he that hath had his privy member cut off, shall enter into the convocation of Yahweh.

Judges and officers, shalt thou appoint thee in all thy gates, which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, by thy tribes, - and they shall judge the people, with righteous judgment,

for in the field, he found her, - the betrothed damsel, made an outcry, and there was none to save her.

Then Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: Thou wast fat, Thou wast thick, Thou wast gorged, So he forsook the GOD who made him, And treated as foolish his Rock of salvation.

When thy brother a Hebrew man (or a Hebrew woman) selleth himself unto thee, then shall he serve thee six years, - and in the seventh year, shalt thou let him go out free from thee;

When a damsel that is a virgin is betrothed to a husband, - and a man findeth her in the city, and lieth with her,

So then ye returned and wept before Yahweh, - but Yahweh hearkened not unto your voice, nor gave ear unto you.

At the end of three years, shalt thou bring forth all the tithe of thine increase in that year, - and shalt lay it up within thy gates;

And there arose not a prophet any more in Israel, like unto Moses, - whom Yahweh acknowledged, face to face;

See! I am setting before you to-day, - a blessing, and a curse:

For, a GOD of compassion, is Yahweh thy God, he will not forsake thee neither will he destroy thee, - nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.

within thine own gates, mayest thou eat it, - the unclean of you and the clean alike, as the gazelle and as the hart.

For, a holy people, thou art unto Yahweh thy God, - and, of thee, did Yahweh make choice, that thou shouldest become his people as a treasure, above all the peoples that are on the face of the ground.

his dead body shall not remain all night upon the tree but thou shalt bury, him on the same day, for a reproach unto God, is he that is hanged, - so shalt thou not make unclean thy soil which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee for an inheritance.

Then called Moses unto all Israel and said unto them - Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the regulations, which I am speaking in your ears to-day, - so shall ye learn them, and observe to do them.

Who used to eat the fat of their sacrifices, To drink the wine of their libations? Let them rise up and help you, Let them be over you for a coveting!

so that thou shalt be mad, - for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

Neither the priests the Levites nor any of the tribe of Levi, shall have either portion or inheritance with Israel, - the altar-flames of Yahweh and his inheritance, shall they eat.

So I spake unto you howbeit ye hearkened not, - but rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, and presumptuously went up the hill-country.

These, are the words of the covenant which Yahweh commanded Moses to solemnise with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, - besides the covenant, which he solemnised with them in Horeb.

When thou shalt go out to wage war against thine enemy, and shalt see the horses and chariots of a people more in number than thou, thou shalt not be afraid of them, - for, Yahweh thy God, is with thee, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

When there shall be found one slain on the soil which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee to possess, lying prostrate in the field, - it not being known who smote him,

When thou shalt come nigh unto a city, to fight against it, - then shalt thou proclaim unto it - peace,

As, an eagle, stirreth up his nest, Over his young ones, fluttereth, Spreadeth abroad his wings, taketh one, Beareth it up on his pinions,

When thou cuttest down thy harvest in thy field and forgettest a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not turn back to fetch it, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, shall it belong, - that Yahweh thy God, may bless thee, in all the Work of thy hands.

And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death because he hath spoken revolt against Yahweh your God, - who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt and redeemed thee out of the house of servants, to seduce thee out of the way wherein Yahweh shy God hath commanded thee to walk, - so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst.

and all these blessings shall come in upon thee, and reach thee, - because thou dost hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God: -

Neither shall he multiply to himself wives, that his heart turn not aside, - nor silver and gold, shall he multiply to himself greatly.

So then Moses went up, from the waste plains of Moab into Mount Nebo, the head of Pisgah, which is over against Jericho, - and Yahweh showed him all the land - even Gilead as far as Dan;

At the mouth of two witnesses or three witnesses, shall he that is to die be put to death, - he shall not be put to death at the mouth of one witness.

He met him in a desert land, And in the howling waste of a wilderness, - He encompassed him watched over him, Shielded him as the pupil of his own eye.

And Moses went, and spake these words unto all Israel;

Ye shall not put Yahweh your God to the proof, - as ye put him to the proof in Massah that is, "The place of proving" .

They have moved me to jealousy with a No-GOD, They have angered me with their vanities: I, therefore, will move them to jealousy with a No-people, With an impious nation, will I anger them.

So then thou shalt eat and be satisfied, - and bless Yahweh thy God, for the good land which he hath given unto thee.

So Moses, the servant of Yahweh, died there, in the land of Moab, at the bidding of Yahweh;

Cursed, be he that establisheth not the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say - Amen.

Seven weeks, shalt thou count unto thee, - from the beginning of thrusting in the sickle into the standing corn, shalt thou begin to count, seven weeks.

Now, this, is the blessing wherewith Moses, the man of God, blessed the sons of Israel, - before his death.

For the needy will not cease out of the midst of the land - for this cause, am I commanding thee, saying, Thou shalt open, thy hand unto thy brother to thy poor and to thy needy, in thy land.

But, Yahweh, it is who is going before thee, he will be with thee, he will not fail thee nor forsake thee, - thou must not fear nor be dismayed.

Then responded ye and said unto me - We have sinned against Yahweh, We, ourselves, will go up, and fight, according to all that Yahweh our God hath commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye foolishly went up towards the hill-country.

All the commandment which I am commanding thee to-day, shalt thou, observe, to do, - that ye may, live, and multiply, and enter in and possess the land, which Yahweh sware unto your fathers.

When thou shalt besiege a city for many days to fight against it, to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by wielding against them an axe, when of them, thou mightest eat, them, there-fore shalt thou not cut down, - for, Is the tree of the field, a man, that it should enter, because of thee into the siege?

Thou shalt not lend on interest to thy brother, interest of silver, interest of food, - interest of any thing that can be lent on interest:

Ye must take diligent heed, therefore unto your own souls, for ye saw no manner of form, on the day Yahweh spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire;

Thou, wast allowed to see that thou mightest know, that Yahweh, he is God, there is none other than he alone.

Yahweh will open unto thee his rich storehouse - the heavens, to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to bless ever, work of thy hand, so shalt thou lend unto many nations, but thou, shalt not borrow:

Thou shalt not oppress a hired servant that is poor and needy, - of thy brethren or of thy sojourners that are in thy land, within thy gates;

When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, - and she putteth forth her hand, and seizeth him by his parts of shame,

Oh that this their heart might remain in them to revere me, and to keep all my commandments all the days, - that it might he well with them and with their sons unto times age-abiding.

And Yahweh thy God will make thee pre-eminent, in every work of thy hand - in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle and in the fruit of thy ground, for good, - for Yahweh will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:

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

Then said Yahweh unto me - Say unto them Ye shall not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, - lest ye should be smitten before your enemies.

Or who bindeth with spells, - Or who asketh of a familiar spirit or an oracle, Or who seeketh unto the dead.

Remember that which Amalek did unto thee by the way when ye came forth out of Egypt;

When thou shalt make an end of tithing all the tithe of thine increase in the third year the year of tithing, - and shalt give unto the Levite unto the sojourner, unto the fatherless and unto the widow, and they shall eat within thy gates and be satisfied,

And, when thou shalt say in thy heart, - In what manner shall we know the word which Yahweh hath not spoken!?,

Only the blood thereof, shalt thou not eat, - on the earth, shalt thou pour it out like water.

If thou wilt not take heed to do all the words of this law, which are written in this scroll, - to revere this glorious and reverend name, Yahweh thy God,

The festival of booths, shalt thou keep for thyself seven days, - when thou hast gathered in out of thy threshing-floor and out of thy wine-vat.

and the Levite shall come in - because he hath neither portion nor inheritance with thee - and the sojourner and the fatherless and the widow who are within thy gates, and they shall eat and be satisfied, - that Yahweh thy God may bless thee, in all the work of thy hand which thou shalt do.

Whatsoever be the thing which I am commanding you, the same, shall ye observe to do, - thou shalt neither add thereunto, nor take away therefrom.

When a bird's-nest chanceth to be before thee, - in the way, in any tree or upon the ground, whether with nestlings or eggs, and, the mother, be sitting upon the nestlings or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the mother upon the young;

Let my teaching drop as the rain, Let my speech distil as the dew, - As copious rains on tender grass, As myriad drops on seeding plants.

When any matter of judgment, shall be too difficult for thee - between blood and blood between plea and plea or between stroke and stroke, matters of contention within thy gates, then shalt thou arise and go up unto the place which Yahweh thy God shall choose;

Thou shalt not bring the wages of an unchaste woman, or the hire of a dog, into the house of Yahweh thy God for any vow, - for, an abomination unto Yahweh thy God, are they both.

There have gone forth men sons of the Abandoned One, out of thy midst, and have seduced the inhabitants of their city, saying, - Let us go, and serve other gods which ye have not known;

A bastard shall not enter into the convocation of Yahweh, - even to the tenth generation, shall none of his enter into the convocation of Yahweh.

When there ariseth a controversy between men, and they come nigh unto judgment, and judgment is granted them, then shall they justify the righteous man, and condemn the lawless.

But inheritance, shall he not have, in the midst of his brethren, - Yahweh, is his inheritance, as he spake unto him.

And thou wilt eat the fruit of thy body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, whom Yahweh thy God hath given unto thee - in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thine enemy will straiten thee.

Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.

Is it Yahweh, ye thus requite, O impious people and unwise? Is not, he, thy father who begat thee? He, that made thee and established thee?

So then thou must consider to-day, and bring it back to thy heart, that, Yahweh, he is God in the heavens above and upon the earth beneath, - there is none other.

And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, - and unto all the elders of Israel.

When, the name of Yahweh, I proclaim, Ascribe ye greatness unto our God: -

Then came forth the Amorites who were dwelling in that country, to meet you, and they chased you, as do, bees; and struck you down in Seir, as far as Hormah.
