And it came to pass, in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, that Moses spake unto the sons of Israel, according to all that Yahweh had given him in charge for them;

Yahweh our God, spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Long enough, have ye dwelt in this mountain:

See! I have set before you the land, - enter and possess the land, which, Yahweh sware unto your fathers to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them, and unto their seed, after them.

Yahweh your God hath multiplied you, and here ye are to-day, like the stars of the heavens for multitude.

Yahweh, the God of your fathers, be adding unto you the like of you, a thousand times, - and bless you, as he hath spoken unto you!

And when we brake up from Horeb, we came through all that great and terrible desert which ye saw, by way of the hill-country of the Amorites, as Yahweh our God commanded us, - and we entered in as far as Kadesh-barnea.

Then said I unto you, - Ye are come in as far as the hill-country of the Amorites, which Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.

See thou - Yahweh thy God hath set before thee the land, - go up - take possession as Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath spoken unto thee, do not fear, neither be dismayed.

And they took in their hand of the fruit of the country, and bare it down unto us, and brought us back word, and said, Good is the land, which Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.

Nevertheless ye were not willing to go up, - but rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, your God;

and murmured in your tents and said, Because Yahweh hated us, hath he brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, - to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.

Yahweh your God, who is going before you, he, will fight for you, - according to all that he did with you in Egypt, before your eyes;

also in the desert which thou hast seen, where Yahweh thy God carried thee as a man will carry his son, throughout all the way that ye journeyed, until ye entered as far as, this place.

But in this firing, ye were putting no trust in Yahweh your God;

And Yahweh heard the voice of your words, - and was wroth and sware - saying:

saving Caleb son of Jephunneh, he, shall see it, and unto him, will I give the land through which he hath trodden, and unto his sons, - because he hath wholly followed Yahweh.

Even with me, did Yahweh show himself angry, for your sakes, saying, - Even thou, shalt not enter therein.

Then responded ye and said unto me - We have sinned against Yahweh, We, ourselves, will go up, and fight, according to all that Yahweh our God hath commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye foolishly went up towards the hill-country.

Then said Yahweh unto me - Say unto them Ye shall not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, - lest ye should be smitten before your enemies.

So I spake unto you howbeit ye hearkened not, - but rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, and presumptuously went up the hill-country.

So then ye returned and wept before Yahweh, - but Yahweh hearkened not unto your voice, nor gave ear unto you.

Then turned we, and set forward towards the desert by way of the Red Sea, as Yahweh, spake unto me; and we encompassed Mount Seir many days.

And Yahweh spake unto me, saying:

For Yahweh thy God, hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand, he hath considered thy traversing of this great desert, - these forty years, hath Yahweh thy God been with thee, thou hast lacked, nothing.

And Yahweh said unto me - Do not lay siege to Moab, nor engage in strife with them in battle, - for I will not give unto thee of his and as a possession, for unto the sons of Lot, have I given Ar, as a possession.

And in Seir, dwelt the Horim aforetime, but, the sons of Esau, dispossessed them, and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead, - as did Israel unto the land of his own possession, which Yahweh had given unto them.

Now, the days in which we journeyed from Kadesh-barnea, as far as where we crossed the ravine of Zered, were thirty-eight years, - until all the generation of the men of war were consumed out of the midst of the camp, as Yahweh had sworn unto them.

Yea, even the hand of Yahweh was against them, to destroy them out of the midst of the camp, - until they were consumed.

then spake Yahweh unto me, saying:

a people great and many and tall, like the Anakim, - but Yahweh destroyed them from before them, and they took their possessions, and dwelt in their stead:

as the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, did to me, and the Moabites who are dwelling in Ar, - until that I pass over the Jordan, into the land which, Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.

But Sihon king of Heshbon, was not willing, to let us pass along through it, - for Yahweh thy God had suffered him to make his spirit harsh and his heart bold, that he might give him into thy hand - (as appeareth this day).

Then said Yahweh unto me, See! I have begun to deliver up before thee Sihon and his land, - begin take possession, that thou mayest make a possession of his land.

And Yahweh our God delivered him up before us, - and we smote him and his sons, and all his people

From Aroer, which is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon and the city that is in the ravine even as far as Gilead, there was not a fortress that proved too high for us, - the whole, did Yahweh our God deliver up before us.

Only unto the land of the sons of Ammon, didst thou not come near, - all the side of the Jabbok ravine, nor the cities of the hill country, nor any which Yahweh our God had forbidden to us.

And Yahweh said unto me: Do not fear him, for into thy hand, have I delivered him and all his people and his land, - so then thou shalt do unto him, as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites who was dwelling in Heshbon.

Then did Yahweh our God deliver into our hand, Og also, king of Bashan and all his people, - so we smote him until there was not left remaining to him a survivor.

So I commanded you, at that time saying, - Yahweh your God hath given unto you this land to possess it, armed, shall ye pass over before your brethren the sons of Israel all the sons of valour,

until that Yahweh shall give rest unto your brethren, as well as you, so shall, they too, possess the land which, Yahweh your God, is giving unto them, over the Jordan, - then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given unto you.

Jeshua also, commanded I, at that time saying, - Thine are the eyes, that have seen all that Yahweh your God hath done unto these two kings, thus, will Yahweh do unto all the kingdoms whereunto thou, art passing over:

ye shall not fear them, - for, Yahweh your God, he, it is that is fighting for you.

Then sought I Yahweh at that time, for a favour saying:

My Lord Yahweh, thou thyself, hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy firm hand, - as to which, what GOD is there, in the heavens or in the earth, that can do according to thy doings, and according to thy mighty deeds?

But Yahweh had been provoked with me for your sakes, and hearkened not unto me, - and Yahweh said unto me, Enough for thee! do not add a word unto me further in this matter.

Now, therefore, O Israel, hearken thou unto the statutes, and unto the regulations, which, I, am teaching you, to do them , - to the end ye may live and enter and possess the land, which, Yahweh, the God of your fathers, is giving unto you.

Ye shall not add unto the word which, I, am commanding you, neither shall ye take away therefrom, - that ye may keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, which, I, am commanding you.

Yours are the eyes, that have seen what Yahweh did in Baal-peor, for every man who went after Baal-peor, did Yahweh thy God destroy out of thy midst;

but, ye who kept on cleaving unto Yahweh your God, alive, are ye all to-day.

See! I have taught you statutes, and regulations, as Yahweh my God commanded me, - that ye should do so, in the midst of the land whereinto ye are entering to possess it.

For what great nation is there which hath gods nigh unto it, - like Yahweh our God, whensoever we have cried out unto him.

What day thou didst stand before Yahweh thy God, in Horeb, when Yahweh said unto me, Gather unto me the people, that I may let them hear my words, - which they must learn that they may revere me all the days which they are living upon the soil, their children also, must they teach.

Then spake Yahweh unto you out of the midst of the fire, - a voice of words, ye were hearing, no form, were ye seeing, there was only a voice.

And unto me, gave Yahweh command, at that time, to teach you statutes and regulations, - that ye should do them, in the land whereinto ye are passing over to possess it.

Ye must take diligent heed, therefore unto your own souls, for ye saw no manner of form, on the day Yahweh spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire;

or lest thou shouldest lift up thine eyes towards the heavens and see the sun and the moon, and the stars - all the host of the heavens, and shouldest be seduced, and shouldest bow thyself down to them and he led to serve them, - the which Yahweh thy God hath assigned unto all the peoples under all the heavens;

whereas you, hath Yahweh taken, and brought you forth out of a smelting-pot of iron, out of Egypt, - that ye might become his own inherited people as at this day.

But, Yahweh shewed himself angry with me, for your sakes, - and sware that I should not pass over the Jordan, and that I should not enter into the good land, which, Yahweh thy God, is giving unto thee as an inheritance;

Take heed to yourselves lest ye forget the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he hath solemnised with you, - and so make for yourselves an image, the form of anything, the which Yahweh thy God hath forbidden thee;

seeing that as for Yahweh thy God, a consuming fire, he is, - a jealous GOD.

When thou shalt beget sons, and sons' sons, and become careless in the land and break faith and make an image the form of any thing, and shalt do the thing that is wicked in the eyes of Yahweh thy God provoking him to anger,

and Yahweh will scatter you among the peoples, - and ye shall have left remaining of you men easily counted, among the nations whither Yahweh will drive you;

If thou shalt seek from thence, Yahweh thy God, then shalt thou find him, - when thou shalt search after him with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.

In thy distress, when all these things have found thee out - in the afterpart of the days, thou wilt return unto Yahweh thy God, and writ hearken to his voice.

For, a GOD of compassion, is Yahweh thy God, he will not forsake thee neither will he destroy thee, - nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.

Or did a god ever make trial of entering in to take unto him a nation out of the midst of a nation, by provings, by signs and by wonders and by fighting, and by a firm hand and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terrors, - according to all that Yahweh your God did for you in Egypt, before your eyes?

Thou, wast allowed to see that thou mightest know, that Yahweh, he is God, there is none other than he alone.

So then thou must consider to-day, and bring it back to thy heart, that, Yahweh, he is God in the heavens above and upon the earth beneath, - there is none other.

So shalt thou keep his statutes and his commandments which, I, am commanding thee to-day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy sons after thee, - and to the end thou mayest prolong thy days upon the soil, which Yahweh thy God, is giving thee, all the days.

Yahweh our God, solemnised with us a covenant in Horeb:

not with our fathers did Yahweh solemnise this covenant, - but with us, ourselves - these here to-day, all of us living.

Face to face, spake Yahweh with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire,

(I was standing between Yahweh and you, at that time, to declare unto you the word of Yahweh, - for ye shrank with fear from the presence of the fire, and went not up in the mount) saying: -

I, am Yahweh thy God, who have brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt out of the house of servants: -

thou shalt not bow thyself down to them nor be led to serve them, - for, I Yahweh thy God, am a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons even unto three generations and unto four, unto them that hate me;

Thou shalt not utter the name of Yahweh thy God, for falsehood, - for Yahweh will not at him go unpunished who uttereth his name for falsehood:

Observe the sabbath day, to hallow it, - as Yahweh thy God, hath commanded thee:

but, the seventh day, is a sabbath unto Yahweh thy God, - thou shalt do no work - thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy servant nor thy handmaid nor thine ox nor thine ass nor any of thy cattle, nor thy sojourner who is within thy gates, that thy servant and thy handmaid may rest, as well as thou.

So shalt thou remember that a servant, wast thou in the land of Egypt, and that Yahweh thy God brought thee forth from thence, with a firm hand, and with a stretched-out arm, - for this cause, hath Yahweh thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day:

Honour thy father and thy mother, as Yahweh thy God hath commanded thee, - that thy days may be prolonged and that it may go well with thee, upon the soil which Yahweh thy God is about to give unto thee:

These words, spake Yahweh unto all the convocation of you in the mount out of the midst of the fire the cloud and the thick gloom, a loud voice, and added not, - and he wrote them upon two tables of stone, and gave them unto me.

and ye said - Lo! Yahweh our God hath let us see his glory and his greatness, his voice also, have we heard out of the midst of the fire, - this day, have we seen, that God may speak with man who yet may live.

Now, therefore why should we die? for this great fire, will consume, us, - if we ourselves, hear the voice of Yahweh our God any more, we shall die.

Go, thou, near, and hear, all that Yahweh our God shall say, - so shalt thou speak unto us, all that Yahweh our God shall speak unto thee and we will hear and do.

And Yahweh heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me, - and Yahweh said unto me - I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken unto thee, they have well said all which they have spoken.

So then ye must observe to do, as Yahweh your God hath commanded you, - ye must not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

In all the way which Yahweh your God hath commanded you, must ye walk, - that ye may live and it be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land, which ye shall possess.

This, then is the commandment - namely the statutes and the regulations, which Yahweh your God bath commanded to teach you, - that ye may do them in the land whither ye are passing over to possess it:

that thou mayest revere Yahweh thy God, so as to keep all his statutes and his commandments which I am commanding thee, thou and thy son and thy sons' son, all the days of thy life, - and that thy days may be prolonged.

Therefore shalt thou hear, O Israel, and shalt observe to do, that it may be well with thee, and that ye may multiply greatly, as Yahweh the God of thy fathom hath spoken to thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

Hear, O Israel: Yahweh, is our God, - Yahweh alone.

Thou shalt therefore love Yahweh thy God, - with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy might;

So shall it be, when Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land, which he sware to thy fathers - to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob to give unto thee, - into cities great and goodly, which thou didst not build;

take heed unto thyself, lest thou forget Yahweh, - who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt out of the house of servants.

Yahweh thy God, shalt thou revere And him, shalt thou serve, - And by his name, shalt thou swear.

for a jealous GOD, is Yahweh thy God in thy midst, - lest the anger of Yahweh thy God kindle upon thee, and so he destroy thee from off the face of the ground.

Ye shall not put Yahweh your God to the proof, - as ye put him to the proof in Massah that is, "The place of proving" .

Ye shall, keep, the commandments of Yahweh your God and his testimonies and his statutes which he hath commanded thee;

so shalt thou do what is right and what is pleasing in the eyes of Yahweh, - that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest enter in and possess the good land, which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers;

to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, - As spake Yahweh.
