And at that time I gave you all the orders which you were to do.

And the Amorites who were in the hill-country came out against you and put you to flight, rushing after you like bees, and overcame you in Seir, driving you even as far as Hormah.

So you were kept waiting in Kadesh for a long time.

Then we went back, journeying into the waste land by the way to the Red Sea, as the Lord had said to me: and we were a long time going round Mount Seir.

(In the past the Emim were living there; a great people, equal in numbers to the Anakim and as tall;

And the Horites in earlier times were living in Seir, but the children of Esau took their place; they sent destruction on them and took their land for themselves, as Israel did to the land of his heritage which the Lord gave them.)

Thirty-eight years had gone by from the time when we came away from Kadesh-barnea till we went over the stream Zered; by that time all the generation of the men of war among us were dead, as the Lord had said.

For the hand of the Lord was against them, working their destruction, till all were dead.

(That land is said to have been a land of the Rephaim, for Rephaim had been living there in earlier times, but they were named Zamzummim by the Ammonites;

They were a great people, tall as the Anakim, and equal to them in number; but the Lord sent destruction on them and the children of Ammon took their place, living in their land;

But you did not go near the land of the children of Ammon, that is, all the side of the river Jabbok or the towns of the hill-country, wherever the Lord our God had said we were not to go.

So we were waiting in the valley facing Beth-peor.

That day when you were waiting before the Lord your God in Horeb, and the Lord said to me, Make all the people come together, so that hearing my words they may go in fear of me all the days of their life on earth and give this teaching to their children.

And he gave you his agreement with you, the ten rules which you were to keep, which he put in writing on the two stones of the law.

The names of the towns were Bezer in the waste land, in the table-land, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan for Manasseh.

And they took his land for a heritage, and the land of Og, king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, whose lands were on the other side of Jordan to the east;

And keep in mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord your God took you out of that land by his strong hand and his stretched-out arm: for this reason the Lord has given you orders to keep the Sabbath day.

And when the Lord your God has taken you into the land which he gave his oath to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, that he would give you; with great and fair towns which were not of your building;

Then you will say to your son, We were servants under Pharaoh's yoke in Egypt; and the Lord took us out of Egypt with a strong hand:

The Lord did not give you his love or take you for himself because you were more in number than any other people; for you were the smallest of the nations:

Who was your guide through that great and cruel waste, where there were poison-snakes and scorpions and a dry land without water; who made water come out of the hard rock for you;

And the Lord gave me the two stones with writing on them done by the finger of God: on them were recorded all the words which the Lord said to you on the mountain out of the heart of the fire, on the day of the great meeting.

So turning round I came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire; and the two stones of the agreement were in my hands.

And I let the stones go from my hands, and they were broken before your eyes.

And I will put on the stones the words which were on the first stones which were broken by you, and you are to put them into the ark.

And I was in the mountain, as at the first time, for forty days and forty nights; and again the ears of the Lord were open to my prayer, and he did not send destruction on you.

So be kind to the man from a strange country who is living among you, for you yourselves were living in a strange country in the land of Egypt.

And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams is to be put to death; for his words were said with the purpose of turning you away from the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt and made you free from the prison-house; and of forcing you out of the way in which the Lord your God has given you orders to go. So you are to put away the evil from among you.

And keep in mind that you yourself were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God made you free: so I give you this order today.

And you will keep in mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt: and you will take care to keep all these laws.

When a prophet makes a statement in the name of the Lord, if what he says does not take place and his words do not come true, then his word is not the word of the Lord: the words of the prophet were said in the pride of his heart, and you are to have no fear of him.

But have no hate for an Edomite, because he is your brother, or for an Egyptian, for you were living in his land.

But keep in mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God made you free: for this is why I give you orders to do this.

Keep in mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt: for this is why I give you orders to do this.

How, meeting you on the way, he made an attack on you when you were tired and without strength, cutting off all the feeble ones at the end of your line; and the fear of God was not in him.

And the Egyptians were cruel to us, crushing us under a hard yoke:

He will send on you again all the diseases of Egypt, which were a cause of fear to you, and they will take you in their grip.

And you will become a very small band, though your numbers were like the stars of heaven; because you did not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God.

(For you have in mind how we were living in the land of Egypt; and how we came through all the nations which were on your way;

And you have seen their disgusting doings, and the images of wood and stone and silver and gold which were among them:)

And they went after other gods and gave them worship, gods who were strange to them, and whom he had not given them:

Placing you again in the land of your fathers as your heritage; and he will do you good, increasing you till you are more in number than your fathers were.

Moses said to the Levites who were responsible for taking up the ark of the Lord's agreement,

They made offerings to evil spirits which were not God, to gods who were strange to them, which had newly come up, not feared by your fathers.

If only they were wise, if only this was clear to them, and they would give thought to their future!

And of Levi he said, Give your Thummim to Levi and let the Urim be with your loved one, whom you put to the test at Massah, with whom you were angry at the waters of Meribah;

For thirty days the children of Israel were weeping for Moses in the table-lands of Moab, till the days of weeping and sorrow for Moses were ended.
