These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel, on the other side Jordan in the wilderness and in the fields by the reed sea, between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth and Dizahab;

And it fortuned, the first day of the eleventh month in the fortieth year, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them,

after that he had smote Sihon the king of the Amorites which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan which dwelt at Ashtaroth in Edrei.

On the other side Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying,

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

depart therefore and take your journey and go unto the hills of the Amorites and unto all places nigh thereunto, both fields, hills and dales: and unto the south and unto the sea's side in the land of Canaan, and unto Lebanon: even unto the great river Euphrates.

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

For the LORD your God hath multiplied you: so that ye are this day as the stars of heaven in number.'

See that ye know no man in judgment: but hear the small as well as the great and be afraid of no man, for the judgment is God's. And the cause that is too hard for you, bring unto me and I will hear it.'

And then ye came unto me every one and said, 'Let us send men before us, to search us out the land and to bring us word again, both what way we shall go up by, and unto what cities we shall come.'

And the saying pleased me well, and I took twelve men of you; of every tribe, one.

and 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.'

and murmured in your tents and said, 'Because the LORD hateth us, therefore he hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites and to destroy us.

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

and in the wilderness: as thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee as a man should bear his son, throughout all the way which ye have gone, until ye came unto this place.'

which goeth the way before you to search you out a place to pitch your tents in; in fire by night - that ye might see what way to go - and in a cloud by day.

'There shall not one of these men of this froward generation see that good land which I sware to give unto your fathers,

save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him I will give the land which he hath walked in and to his children, because he hath continually followed the LORD.'

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

But Joshua the son of Nun which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither. Bold him therefore, for he shall divide it unto Israel.

Moreover, your children, which ye said should be a prey; and your sons, which know neither good nor bad this day; they shall go in thither and unto them I will give it, and they shall enjoy it.

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 and were ready to go up into the hills,

And when I told you, ye would not hear: but disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hills.

Then the Amorites, which dwelt in those hills, came out against you and chased you as bees do, and hewed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.

And so ye abode in Kadesh a long season, according unto the time that ye there dwelt.

And warn the people, saying: Ye shall go through the coasts of your brethren the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and they shall be afraid of you: But take good heed unto yourselves

For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thine hand, and knew thee as thou wentest through this great wilderness. Moreover, the LORD thy God hath been with thee this forty years, so that thou hast lacked nothing.'

And when we were departed from our brethren, the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir by the field way from Elath and Eziongeber, we turned and went the way to the wilderness of Moab.

The Emims dwelt therein in times past; which were a great strong people, and high of stature as the Anakims.

In like manner the Horites dwelt in Seir, before time: which the children of Esau cast out, and destroyed them before them, and dwelt there in their stead: as Israel did in the land of his possession which the LORD gave them.

The space in which we came from Kadesh Barnea until we were come over the river Zered was thirty eight years: until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out of the host, as the LORD sware unto them.

That also was taken for a land of Giants - and Giants dwelt therein in old time, and the Ammonites called them Zamzummims:

a people that was great, many and tall, as the Anakims. But the LORD destroyed them before the Ammonites, and they cast them out and they dwelt there in their stead:

as he did for the children of Esau which dwell in Seir; even as he destroyed the Horites before them, and they cast them out and dwell in their stead unto this day.

And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim even unto Gaza, the Caphthorims which came out of Caphthor destroyed them and dwelt in their rooms.

This day I will begin to send the fear and dread of thee upon all nations that are under all ports of heaven: so that when they hear speak of thee, they shall tremble and quake for fear of thee.'

as the children of Esau did unto me, which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar - until I be come over Jordan, into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.'

from Aroer upon the brink of the river of Arnon, and the city in the river, unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us. The LORD our God delivered all unto us:

only, unto the land of the children of Ammon ye came not, nor unto all the coast of the river Jabbok nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbade us.

And we took all his cities the same season, for there was not a city which we took not from them; even three score cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

All these cities were made strong with high walls, gates and bars; beside un-walled towns, a great many.

And thus we took, the same season, the land out of the hand of two kings of the Amorites on the other side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon

all the cities in the plain and all Gilead and all Bashan unto Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

And when we had conquered this land the same time, I gave from Aroer, which is upon the river of Arnon, and half mount Gilead and the cities thereof unto the Reubenites, and Gadites.

Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi, and called the towns of Bashan after his own name: the towns of Jair unto this day.

and the fields and Jordan with the coast, from Chinnereth even unto the sea in the field which is the salt sea under the springs of Pisgah eastward.

Your wives only, your children and your cattle - for I know that ye have much cattle - shall abide in your cities which I have given you,

'O Lord Jehovah, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness and thy mighty hand, for there is no God in heaven nor in earth that can do after thy works and after thy power:

And so we abode in the valley beside Bethpeor.

But ye that clave unto the LORD your God are alive, every one of you, this day.

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

Keep them therefore and do them, for that is your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the nations: which, when they have heard all these ordinances, shall say, 'O what a wise and understanding people is this great nation.'

For what nation is so great that hath gods so nigh unto him as the LORD our God is nigh unto us, in all things, when we call unto him?

The day that I stood before the LORD your God in Horeb - when he said unto me, 'Gather me the people together, that I may make them hear my words that they may learn to fear me as long as they live upon the earth and that they may teach their children' -

And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to do, even ten verses and wrote them in two tables of stone.

And the LORD commanded me, the same season, to teach you ordinances and laws, for to do them in the land whither ye go to possess it.

Take heed unto yourselves diligently as pertaining unto your souls, for ye saw no manner of image the day when the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the fire;

or any manner beast that is on the earth or of any manner feathered fowl that flyeth in the air,

or of any manner worm that creepeth on the earth or of any manner fish that is in the water beneath the earth.

Yea, and lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun and the moon and the stars and whatsoever is contained in heaven, shouldest be deceived and shouldest bow thyself unto them and serve the things which the LORD thy God hath distributed unto all nations that are under all quarters of heaven.

For I must die in this land, and shall not go over Jordan: But ye shall go over and conquer that good land.

If after thou hast gotten children and children's children and hast dwelt long in the land, ye shall mar yourselves and make graven images after the likeness of whatsoever it be, and shall work wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him.

And the LORD shall scatter you among nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the people whither the LORD shall bring you:

In thy tribulation and when all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, thou shalt turn unto the LORD thy God, and shalt hearken unto his voice.

For ask, I pray thee, of the days that are past which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth and from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether anything hath been like unto this great thing or whether any such thing hath been heard as it is -

Either, whether God assayed to go and take him a people from among nations, through temptations and signs and wonders and through war and with a mighty hand and a stretched-out arm and with mighty terrible sights, according unto all that the LORD your God did unto you in Egypt before your eyes.

to thrust out nations greater and mightier than thou before thee, to bring thee in, and to give thee their land to inheritance: as it is come to pass this day.

Understand, therefore, this day: and turn it to thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above and upon the earth beneath, there is no more.

Then Moses severed three cities on the other side Jordan toward the sun rising,

that he should flee thither which had killed his neighbour unawares and hated him not in time past, and therefore should flee unto one of the same cities and live:

Bezer in the wilderness, even in the plain country, among the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead among the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan among the Manassites.

on the other side Jordan in the valley beside Bethpeor in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites which dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote after they were come out of Egypt,

and conquered his land and the land of Og king of Bashan two kings of the Amorites on the other side Jordan toward the sun rising:

and all the fields on the other side Jordan eastward: even unto the sea in the field under the springs of Pisgah.

And Moses called unto all Israel and said unto them, "Hear, Israel, the ordinances and laws which I speak in thine ears this day, and learn them and take heed that ye do them.

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

The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the fire.

Thou shalt have therefore none other gods in my presence.

'Thou shalt make thee no graven image of any manner likeness that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, or in the water beneath the earth.

Thou shalt neither bow thyself unto them nor serve them, for I the LORD thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the wickedness of the fathers upon the children, even in the third and the fourth generation, among them that hate me:

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

And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and how that the LORD God brought thee out thence with a mighty hand and a stretched out arm. For which cause the LORD thy God commandeth thee to keep the Sabbath day.

'Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee: that thou mayest prolong thy days, and that it may go well with thee on the land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

These words the LORD spake unto all your multitude in the mount out of the fire, cloud and darkness, with a loud voice, and added no more thereto, and wrote them in two tables of stone and delivered them unto me.

And the LORD heard the voice of your words when ye spake unto me, and he said unto me, 'I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoke unto thee, they have well said all that they have said.

But stand thou here before me and I will tell thee all the commandments, ordinances and laws which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess.'

but walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live and that it may go well with you and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.

These are the commandments, ordinances and laws which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:

Hear, O Israel, the LORD thy God is one LORD only.

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

And thou shalt whet them on thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou art at home in thine house and as thou walkest by the way; and when thou liest down and when thou risest up.

And when the LORD thy God hath brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give thee with great and goodly cities which thou buildst not,

and houses full of all manner goods which thou filledst not, and wells digged which thou diggedst not, and vines and olive trees which thou planted not; and when thou hast eaten, and art full:

and see thou do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that thou mayest prosper and that thou mayest go and conquer that good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers,

When thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, 'What meaneth the witnesses, ordinances and laws which the LORD our God hath commanded you?'

Then thou shalt say unto thy son, 'We were bondmen unto Pharaoh in Egypt, but the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

and brought us from thence to bring us in and to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.

When the LORD thy God hath brought thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee: the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perezites, the Hivites and the Jebusites; seven nations more in number and mightier than thou:

and when the LORD thy God hath set them before thee that thou shouldest smite them: see that thou utterly destroy them and make no covenant with them nor have compassion on them.

and will love thee, bless thee and multiply thee: he will bless the fruit of thy womb and the fruit of thy field, thy corn, thy wine and thy oil, the fruit of thine oxen and the flocks of thy sheep in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
