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.'

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.

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?

Yea, and what nation is so great that hath ordinances and laws so righteous, as all this law which I set before you this day?

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:

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?'

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

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.

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,

and what he did unto the host of the Egyptians, unto their horses and chariots, how he brought the water of the reed sea upon them as they chased you, and how the LORD hath brought them to nought unto this day;

and what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came unto this place;

and what he did unto Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab the son of Reuben, how the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them with their households and their tents and all their substance that was in their possession, in the midst of Israel.

Ye shall do after nothing that we do here this day - every man what seemeth him good in his own eyes -

Let him dwell with thee, even among you in what place he himself liketh best, in one of thy cities where it is good for him, and vex him not.

Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come out of Egypt.

Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way after thou camest out of Egypt:

And he said, 'I will hide my face from them and will see what their end shall be. For they are a froward generation, and children in whom is no faith.

"'See, now, how that I - I am he: and that there is no God but I. I can kill, and make alive; and what I have smitten, that I can heal. Neither is there that can deliver any man out of my hand.
