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.'

Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee. Go up and conquer it, as the LORD God of thy fathers sayeth unto thee: fear not, neither be discouraged.'

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 yet for all this saying ye did not believe the LORD your God,

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.

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.

But as for you, turn back and take your journey into the wilderness: even the way to the reed sea.'

the LORD said unto me, 'Say unto them: see that ye go not up and that ye fight not, for I am not among you: lest ye be plagued before your enemies.'

that ye provoke them not, for I will not give you of their land, no not so much as a foot breadth: because I have given mount Seir unto Esau to possess.

Ye shall buy meat of them, for money, to eat; and ye shall buy water of them, for money, to drink.

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.'

Then the LORD said unto me, 'See that thou vex not the Moabites, neither provoke them to battle, for I will not give thee of their land to possess: because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot to possess.'

Which also were taken for Giants, like as the Anakims: And the Moabites called them Emims.

For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them out of the host, till they were consumed.

and shalt come nigh unto the children of Ammon: see that thou vex them not, nor yet provoke them. For I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon to possess; because I have given it unto the children of Lot to possess.'

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

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.

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.'

Sell me meat, for money, for to eat; and give me drink, for money, for to drink: I will go through by foot only -

But Sihon, the king of Heshbon, would not let us pass by him; for the LORD thy God had hardened his spirit and made his heart tough because he would deliver him into thy hands as it is come to pass this day.

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:

And the LORD said unto me, "Fear him not, for I have delivered him and all his people and his land into thy hand and thou shalt deal with him as thou dealtest with Sihon king of the Amorites which dwelt at Heshbon.'

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.

But all the cattle and the spoil of the cities, we caught for ourselves.

For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Giants: behold, his iron bed is yet at Rabbah, among the children of Ammon: nine cubits long and four cubits broad, of the cubits of a man.

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,

Fear them not, for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for 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:

But the LORD was angry with me for your sakes and would not hear me, but said unto me, 'Be content, and speak henceforth no more unto me of this matter;

Get thee up into the top of Pisgah and lift up thine eyes west, north, south and east, and behold it with thine eyes for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

Moreover, charge Joshua and courage him and bold him. For he shall go over before his people, and he shall divide the land which thou shalt see, unto them.'

And now hearken, Israel, unto the ordinances and laws which I teach you, for to do them: that ye may live and go and conquer the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.

Your eyes have seen what the LORD did unto Baal-Peor: for all the men that followed Baal-Peor, the LORD your God hath destroyed from among you.

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' -

ye came and stood also under the hill, and the hill burnt with fire: even unto the midst of heaven, and there was darkness, clouds and mist.

And the LORD spake unto you out of the fire and ye heard the voice of the words; But saw no image, save heard a voice only.

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;

For the LORD took you and brought you out of the iron furnace of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as it is come to pass this day.

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

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

For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, and a jealous God.

For the LORD thy God is a merciful God: he will not forsake thee neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant made with thy fathers which he sware unto them.

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 -

that a nation hath heard the voice of God speaking out of fire as thou hast heard, and yet lived?

Out of heaven he made thee hear his voice to nurture thee, and upon earth he showed thee his great fire, and thou heardest his words out of the fire.

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

And I stood between the LORD and you the same time, to show you the saying of the LORD. For ye were afraid of the fire and therefore went not up into the mount. And he said,

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.

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.

But as soon as ye heard the voice out of the darkness and saw the hill burn with fire, ye came unto me all the heads of your tribes and your elders:

and ye said, 'Behold, the LORD our God hath showed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the fire, and we have seen this day that God may talk with a man and he yet live.

And now wherefore should we die that this great fire should consume us: If we should hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, we should die.

For what is any flesh that he should hear the voice of the living God speaking out of the fire as we have done and should yet live:

Oh that they had such a heart with them to fear me and keep all my commandments always, that it might go well with them and with their children forever.

that thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his ordinances and his commandments which I command thee; both thou and thy son and thy son's son all days of thy life, that thy days may be prolonged.

And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand. And they shall be papers of remembrance between thine eyes,

But fear the LORD thy God and serve him, and swear by his name,

For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you - lest the wrath of the LORD thy God wax hot upon thee and destroy thee from the earth.

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 the LORD showed signs and wonders both great and evil upon Egypt, Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes;

And therefore commanded us to do all these ordinances and for to fear the LORD our God, for our wealth always and that he might save us, as it is come to pass this day.

For they will make your sons depart from me and serve strange gods, and then will the wrath of the LORD wax hot upon you and destroy you shortly.

But thus ye shall deal with them: overthrow their altars, break down their pillars, cut down their groves and burn their images with fire.

For thou art a holy nation unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a several people unto himself of all nations that are upon the earth.

It was not because of the multitude of you, above all nations, that the LORD had lust unto you and chose you: For ye were fewest of all nations.

But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, therefore he brought you out of Egypt with a mighty hand and delivered you out of the house of bondage; even from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

Thou shalt bring to nought all nations which the LORD thy God delivereth thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them neither shalt thou serve their gods, for that shall be thy decay.

Fear them not, but remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh and unto all Egypt,

See thou fear them not, for the LORD thy God is among you: a mighty God and a terrible.

The images of their gods thou shalt burn with fire, and see that thou covet not the silver or gold that is on them nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therewith. For it is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.

Bring not therefore the Abomination to thine house, lest thou be a damned thing as it is: but utterly defy it and abhor it, for it is a thing that must be destroyed.

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

And think on all the ways which the LORD thy God led thee this forty years in the wilderness, for to humble thee and to prove thee, to wete what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments or no.

Keep, therefore, the commandments of the LORD thy God; that thou walk in his ways and that thou fear him.

For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of rivers of water, of fountains and of springs that spring out both in valleys and hills:

When thou hast eaten therefore and filled thyself, then bless the LORD for the good land which he hath given thee.

which fed thee in the wilderness with Manna whereof thy fathers knew not, for to humble thee and to prove thee, that he might do thee good at thy latter end.

But remember the LORD thy God, how that it is he which gave thee power to do manfully, for to make good the covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is come to pass this day.

For if thou shalt forget the LORD thy God and shalt walk after strange gods and serve them and worship them, I testify unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish.

Therefore shalt thou know this day, that the LORD thy God goeth over before thee, a consuming fire. He shall destroy them and shall subdue them before thee. And thou shalt cast them out, and bring them to nought quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.

Speak not in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out before thee, saying, 'For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land.' Nay, but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth cast them out before thee.

It is not for thy righteousness' sake and right heart that thou goest to possess their land: But partly for the wickedness of these nations, the LORD thy God doth cast them out before thee, and partly to perform that which the LORD thy God sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Understand therefore that it is not for thy righteousness' sake, that the LORD thy God doth give thee this good land to possess it, for thou art a stiff-necked people.

Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedest the LORD thy God in the wilderness: for since the day that thou camest out of the land of Egypt until ye came unto this place, ye have rebelled against the LORD.

And the LORD delivered me two tables of stone written with the finger of God, and in them was according to all the words which the LORD said unto you in the mount out of the fire in the day when the people were gathered together.

and said unto me, 'Up, and get thee down quickly from hence, for thy people which thou hast brought out of Egypt, have marred themselves. They are turned at once out of the way, which I commanded them, and have made them a god of metal.'

And I turned away and came down from the hill - and the hill burnt with fire - and had the two tables of the covenant in my hands.

For I was afraid of the wrath and fierceness wherewith the LORD was angry with you, even for to have destroyed you; But the LORD heard my petition at that time also.

The LORD was very angry with Aaron also, even for to have destroyed him: But I made intercession for Aaron also the same time.

And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made and burnt him with fire and stamped him and ground him a-good, even unto small dust. And I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.

And I fell before the LORD, forty days and forty nights which I lay there, for the LORD was minded to have destroyed you.

And he wrote in the tables according to the first, writing the ten verses which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the fire in the day when the people were gathered together - and gave them unto me.

And now, Israel, what is it that the LORD thy God requireth of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God and to walk in all his ways and to love him and to serve the LORD thy God with all thine heart and with all thy soul,
