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;

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

'Ye have compassed these mountains long enough; turn you northward.

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

And I warned Joshua the same time, saying, 'Thine eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings; even so the LORD will do unto all kingdoms whither thou goest.

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.'

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.

and these are the witness, ordinances and statutes which Moses told the children of Israel after they came out of Egypt,

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.

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:

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

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.

Moreover it shall be righteousness unto us before the LORD our God, if we take heed to keep all these commandments as he hath commanded us.'

If ye shall hearken unto these laws and shall observe and do them, then shall the LORD thy God keep covenant with thee, and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers,

If thou shalt say in thine heart, 'These nations are more than I, how can I cast them out?'

The LORD thy God will put out these nations before thee a little and a little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.

And beware that thou say not in thine heart, 'My power and the might of mine own hand hath done me all these acts.'

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.

for he is thy praise, and he is thy God that hath done these great and terrible things for thee, which thine eyes have seen.

Put up, therefore, these my words in your hearts and in your souls, and bind them for a sign unto your hands, and let them be as papers of remembrance between your eyes,

For if ye shall keep all these commandments which I command you, so that ye do them and love the LORD your God and walk in all his ways and cleave unto him;

then will the LORD cast out all these nations; and ye shall conquer them which are both greater and mightier than yourselves.

These are the ordinances and laws which ye shall observe to do in the land which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, as long as ye live upon the earth.

Take heed and hear all these words which I command thee that it may go well with thee and with thy children after thee forever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.

Beware that thou be not taken in a snare after them, after that they be destroyed before thee, and that thou ask not after their gods saying, 'How did these nations serve their gods, that I may do so likewise?'

These are the beasts which ye shall eat of: oxen, sheep and goats,

Nevertheless, these ye shall not eat of them that chew cud and of them that divide and cleave the hoof: the camel, the hare and the coney. For they chew cud, but divide not the hoof: and therefore are unclean unto you:

These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: All that have fins and scales.

but these are they of which ye may not eat: the eagle, the goshawk, the cormorant,

so that thou hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and do all these commandments which I command you this day.

And remember that thou was a servant in Egypt, that thou observe and do these ordinances.

And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all days of his life that he may learn to fear the LORD his God for to keep all the words of this law and these ordinances for to do them:

When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, see that thou learn not to do after the abominations of these nations.

For all that do such things are abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth cast them out before thee.

For these nations which thou shalt conquer hearken unto makers of dismal days and bruterers. But the LORD thy God permitteth not that to thee.

- so that thou keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, that thou love the LORD thy God and walk in his ways ever - then thou shalt add three cities more unto those three,

But and if there be any man that hateth his neighbour and layeth await for him and riseth against him and smiteth him that he die, and fleeth unto any of these cities;

Thus thou shalt do unto all the cities which are a great way off from thee and not of the cities of these nations.

But in the cities of these nations which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth.

and lo, he layeth shameful things unto her charge saying: I found not thy daughter a maid. And yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity.' And let them spread the vesture before the elders of the city.

This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these ordinances and laws. Keep them, therefore, and do them with all thine heart and all thy soul.

When ye be come over Jordan, see that ye set up these stones which I command you this day in mount Ebal, and plaster them with plaster.

"These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph and Benjamin.

And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan and Naphtali.

And all these blessings shall come on thee and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

And see that thou bow not from any of these words which I command thee this day, either to the righthand or to the left, that thou wouldest go after strange gods to serve them.

"But and if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God to keep and to do all his commandments and ordinances which I command thee this day; then all these curses shall come upon thee and overtake thee:

"Moreover, all these curses shall come upon thee and shall follow thee and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed: because thou hearkenedest not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and ordinances which he commanded thee;

And among these nations thou shalt be no small season, and yet shalt have no rest for the sole of thy foot. For the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart and dazing eyes and sorrow of mind.

These are the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.

Lest there be among you man or woman, kindred or tribe, that turneth away in his heart this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations: and lest there be among you some root that beareth gall and wormwood,

When all these words are come upon thee, whether it be the blessing or the curse which I have set before thee; yet if thou turn unto thine heart among all the nations whither the LORD thy God hath thrust thee,

And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies and on them that hate thee and persecute thee.

And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel,

The LORD your God, he will go over before thee and he will destroy these nations before thee, and thou shalt conquer them. And Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.

these tribulations are come upon us.' But I will hide my face that same time for all the evil's sake which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto strange gods.

Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears and call heaven and earth to record against them.

were it not that I feared the railing of their enemies - lest their adversaries would be proud and say: Our high hand hath done all these works, and not the LORD.

And when Moses had spoken all these words unto the end to all Israel,

His beauty is as a firstborn ox and his horns as the horns of an unicorn. And with them he shall push the nations together, even unto the ends of the world. These are the many thousands of Ephraim and the thousands of Manasseh."
