Beware lest thou forget LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command thee this day.

Lest, when thou have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and dwelt in it,

and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou have is multiplied,

then thy heart be lifted up, and thou forget LORD thy God, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage,

who led thee through the great and terrible wilderness--fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where was no water--who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint,

who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers did not know, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end.

And [lest] thou say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.

And it shall be, if thou shall forget LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.

Hear, O Israel: Thou are to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fortified up to heaven,

a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom thou know, and of whom thou have heard say, Who can stand before the sons of Anak?

Know therefore this day, that LORD thy God is he who goes over before thee as a devouring fire. He will destroy them, and he will bring them down before thee. So thou shall drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as LORD h

Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, do thou go in to possess their land, but for the wickedness of these nations LORD thy God drives them out from before thee, and that he may establish the word which LO

Remember, do not thou forget how thou provoked LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that thou went forth out of the land of Egypt, until ye came to this place, ye have been rebellious against LORD.

Also in Horeb ye provoked LORD to wrath, and LORD was angry with you to destroy you.

When I was gone up onto the mount to receive the tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant which LORD made with you, then I abode on the mount forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water.

And LORD delivered to me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God. And on them [was] according to all the words, which LORD spoke with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

And it came to pass, at the end of forty days and forty nights, that LORD gave me the two tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant.

And LORD said to me, Arise, get thee down quickly from here, for thy people that thou have brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They have quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them. They have made t

Furthermore LORD spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people.

Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven, and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.

So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount was burning with fire. And the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.

And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against LORD your God. Ye had made you a molten calf. Ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which LORD had commanded you.

And I took hold of the two tablets, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.

And I fell down before LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which ye sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of LORD, to provoke him to anger.

For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which LORD was angry against you to destroy you. But LORD hearkened to me that time also.

And LORD was very angry with Aaron to destroy him. And I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.

And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. And I cast the dust of it into the brook that descended out of the mount.

And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked LORD to wrath.

And when LORD sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you, then ye rebelled against the commandment of LORD your God, and ye did not believe him, nor hearken to his voice.

So I fell down before LORD the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because LORD had said he would destroy you.

And I prayed to LORD, and said, O lord LORD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, that thou have redeemed through thy greatness, that thou have brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Look not to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their profaneness, nor to their sin,

lest the land from where thou brought us out say, Because LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.

Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou brought out by thy great power and by thine outstretched arm.

At that time LORD said to me, Hew thee two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to me onto the mount, and make thee an ark of wood.

And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets which thou broke, and thou shall put them in the ark.

So I made an ark of acacia wood, and hewed two tablets of stone like the first, and went up onto the mount, having the two tablets in my hand.

And he wrote on the tablets according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which LORD spoke to you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly, and LORD gave them to me.

And I turned and came down from the mount, and put the tablets in the ark which I had made. And they are there as LORD commanded me.

(And the sons of Israel journeyed from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried, and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.

From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.

At that time LORD set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of LORD, to stand before LORD to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.

And I stayed on the mount as at the first time, forty days and forty nights, and LORD hearkened to me that time also: LORD would not destroy thee.

And LORD said to me, Arise, take thy journey before the people, and they shall go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to them.

And now, Israel, what does LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

to keep the commandments of LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?

Behold, to LORD thy God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is in it.

Only LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples as at this day.

Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.

For LORD your God, he is God of gods, and LORD of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who regards not persons, nor takes reward.

He executes justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the sojourner in giving him food and raiment.

Thou shall fear LORD thy God. Him thou shall serve, and to him thou shall cling, and by his name thou shall swear.

He is thy praise, and he is thy God, who has done for thee these great and awesome things, which thine eyes have seen.

Thy fathers went down into Egypt, in souls, seventy. And now LORD thy God has made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.

Therefore thou shall love LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments, always.

And ye know this day, for [it is] not with your sons who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his outstretched arm,

and his signs, and his works, which he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to all his land,

and what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and to their chariots, how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how LORD has destroyed them to this day,

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

and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben, how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of al

Therefore ye shall keep all the commandment which I command thee this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, where ye go over to possess it,

and that ye may prolong your days in the land, which LORD swore to your fathers to give to them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey.

For the land, where thou go in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from where ye came out, where thou sowed thy seed, and watered it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs,

but the land, where ye go over to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, [and] drinks water from the rain of heaven,

a land which LORD thy God cares for. The eyes of LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year.

And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently to my commandments which I command you this day, to love LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that thou may gather in thy grain, and thy new wine, and thine oil.

And I will give grass in thy fields for thy cattle, and thou shall eat and be full.

Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them,

and the anger of LORD be kindled against you, and he shut up the heavens, so that there shall be no rain, and the land shall not yield its fruit, and ye perish quickly from off the good land which LORD gives you.

Therefore ye shall lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul. And ye shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.

And ye shall teach them to your sons, talking of them when thou sit in thy house, and when thou walk by the way, and when thou lay down, and when thou rise up.

And thou shall write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates,

that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your sons, in the land which LORD swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.

For if ye shall diligently keep all this commandment which I command you, to do it, to love LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cling to him,

then will LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves.

Every place on which the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours, from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the hinder sea shall be your border.

There shall no man be able to stand before you. LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he has spoken to you.

Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:

and the curse, if ye shall not hearken to the commandments of LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

And it shall come to pass, when LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land where thou go to possess it, that thou shall set the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.

For ye are to pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which LORD your God gives you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell in it.

And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and the ordinances which I set before you this day.

These are the statutes and the ordinances which ye shall observe to do in the land which LORD, the God of thy fathers, has given thee to possess it all the days that ye live upon the earth.

Ye shall surely destroy all the places in which the nations that ye shall dispossess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree.

And ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and burn their Asherim with fire. And ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and ye shall destroy their name out of that place.

But to the place which LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, even to his habitation ye shall seek, and there thou shall come.

And there ye shall bring your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill-offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock.

And there ye shall eat before LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand to, ye and your households, in which LORD thy God has blessed thee.

For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which LORD thy God gives thee.

But when ye go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which LORD your God causes you to inherit, and he gives you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety,

then it shall come to pass that to the place which LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there, there ye shall bring all that I command you: your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave-offe

And ye shall rejoice before LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and the Levite who is within your gates--inasmuch as he has no portion nor inheritance with you.

but in the place which LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes. There thou shall offer thy burnt-offerings, and there thou shall do all that I command thee.

Notwithstanding, thou may kill and eat flesh within all thy gates, after all the desire of thy soul, according to the blessing of LORD thy God which he has given thee, the unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle, and

But thou shall eat them before LORD thy God in the place which LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite who is within thy gates. And thou shall rejoic

When LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he has promised thee, and thou shall say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul desires to eat flesh, thou may eat flesh, after all the desire of thy soul.

If the place which LORD thy God shall choose, to put his name there, be too far from thee, then thou shall kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which LORD has given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou may eat within thy gates, a

Even as the gazelle and as the hart is eaten, so thou shall eat of it. The unclean and the clean may eat of it alike.

Only be sure that thou not eat the blood. For the blood is the life, and thou shall not eat the life with the flesh.
