But an oath made by a widow or one who is no longer married to her husband, and every undertaking she has given, will have force.

But if her husband, on hearing of it, made them without force or effect, then whatever she has said about her oaths or her undertaking has no force: her husband has made them without effect, and she will have the Lord's forgiveness.

But if the days go on, and her husband says nothing whatever to her, then he is giving the support of his authority to her oaths and undertakings, because at the time of hearing them he said nothing to her.

But if at some time after hearing of them, he makes them without force, then he is responsible for her wrongdoing.

But all the female children who have had no sex relations with men, you may keep for yourselves.

But gold and silver and brass and iron and tin and lead,

And anything which may be heated, is to go through the fire and be made clean; but in addition it is to be put in the water of cleaning: and anything which may not go through the fire is to be put in the water.

But only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua, the son of Nun: because they have been true to the Lord.

But we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel till we have taken them to their place: but our little ones will be safe in the walled towns against the people of the land.

But if you do not do this, then you are sinners against the Lord; and you may be certain that your sin will have its reward.

But your servants will go over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to the fight, as my lord says.

But if they do not go over with you armed, they will have to take their heritage with you in the land of Canaan.

But if you are slow in driving out the people of the land, then those of them who are still there will be like pin-points in your eyes and like thorns in your sides, troubling you in the land where you are living.

But if a man gives another man a blow with an iron instrument, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death.

But if a man has given a wound to another suddenly and not in hate, or without design has sent something against him,

But if ever he goes outside the walls of the safe town where he had gone in flight,

Because he had been ordered to keep inside the safe town till the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the taker of life may come back to the place of his heritage.

Anyone causing the death of another is himself to be put to death on the word of witnesses: but the word of one witness is not enough.

So do not make the land where you are living unholy: for blood makes the land unholy: and there is no way of making the land free from the blood which has come on it, but only by the death of him who was the cause of it.

This is the order of the Lord about the daughters of Zelophehad: The Lord says, Let them take as their husbands whoever is most pleasing to them, but only among the family of their father's tribe.

And so no property will be handed from tribe to tribe among the children of Israel; but every one of the children of Israel will keep the heritage of his father's tribe.

And no property will be handed from one tribe to another, but every tribe of the children of Israel will keep its heritage.

But going against the order of the Lord your God, you would not go up:

But for all this, you had no faith in the Lord your God,

But only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he will see it; and to him and to his children I will give the land over which his feet have gone, because he has been true to the Lord with all his heart.

But as for you, go back, journeying into the waste land by the way of the Red Sea.

This I said to you, but you gave no attention and went against the orders of the Lord, and in your pride went up into the hill-country.

And you came back, weeping before the Lord; but the Lord gave no attention to your cries and did not give ear to you.

They are numbered among the Rephaim, like the Anakim; but are named Emim by the Moabites.

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.)

(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 Sihon, king of Heshbon, would not let us go through; for the Lord your God made his spirit hard and his heart strong, so that he might give him up into your hands as at this day.

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.

But we took for ourselves all the cattle and the stored wealth of the towns.

But your wives and your little ones and your cattle (for it is clear that you have much cattle) may go on living in the towns I have given you;

But the Lord was angry with me because of you and would not give ear to my prayer; and the Lord said to me, Let it be enough, say no more about this thing.

But give my orders to Joshua, comforting him and making him strong; for he is to go over Jordan at the head of this people, and he will give them this land which you will see for their heritage.

Make no addition to the orders which I give you, and take nothing from them, but keep the orders of the Lord your God which I give you.

But you who kept faith with the Lord are living, every one of you, today.

Only take care, and keep watch on your soul, for fear that the things which your eyes have seen go from your memory and from your heart all the days of your life; but let the knowledge of them be given to your children and to your children's children;

And the voice of the Lord came to you out of the fire: the sound of his words came to your ears but you saw no form; there was nothing but a voice.

But the Lord has taken you out of the flaming fire, out of Egypt, to be to him the people of his heritage, as you are today.

But death is to come to me in this land, I may not go over Jordan: but you will go over and take that good land for your heritage.

May heaven and earth be my witnesses against you today, that destruction will quickly overtake you, cutting you off from that land which you are going over Jordan to take; your days will not be long in that land, but you will come to a complete end.

But if in those lands you are turned again to the Lord your God, searching for him with all your heart and soul, he will not keep himself from you.

The Lord did not make this agreement with our fathers but with us, who are all living and present here today.

You are to have no other gods but me.

But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on that day do no work, you or your son or your daughter, or your man-servant or your woman-servant, or your ox or your ass or any of your cattle, or the man from a strange country who is living among you; so that your man-servant and your woman-servant may have rest as well as you.

But as for you, keep your place here by me, and I will give you all the orders and the laws and the decisions which you are to make clear to them, so that they may do them in the land which I am giving them for their heritage.

But this is what you are to do to them: their altars are to be pulled down and their pillars broken, and their holy trees cut down and their images burned with fire.

But because of his love for you, and in order to keep his oath to your fathers, the Lord took you out with the strength of his hand, making you free from the prison-house and from the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt.

Rewarding his haters to their face with destruction; he will have no mercy on his hater, but will give him open punishment.

And the Lord will take away from you all disease, and will not put on you any of the evil diseases of Egypt which you have seen, but will put them on your haters.

Have no fear of them, but keep well in mind what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt;

But the Lord your God will give them up into your hands, overpowering them till their destruction is complete.

And you may not take a disgusting thing into your house, and so become cursed with its curse: but keep yourselves from it, turning from it with fear and hate, for it is a cursed thing.

And he made low your pride and let you be without food and gave you manna for your food, a thing new to you, which your fathers never saw; so that he might make it clear to you that bread is not man's only need, but his life is in every word which comes out of the mouth of the Lord.

But keep in mind the Lord your God: for it is he who gives you the power to get wealth, so that he may give effect to the agreement which he made by his oath with your fathers, as at this day.

Not for your righteousness or because your hearts are upright are you going in to take their land; but because of the evil-doing of these nations the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and to give effect to his oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

For I was full of fear because of the wrath of the Lord which was burning against you, with your destruction in view. But again the Lord's ear was open to my prayer.

But still they are your people and your heritage, whom you took out by your great power and by your stretched-out arm.

And now, Israel, what would the Lord your God have you do, but to go in the fear of the Lord your God, walking in all his ways and loving him and doing his pleasure with all your heart and all your soul,

But the Lord had delight in your fathers and love for them, marking out for himself their seed after them, even you, from all peoples, as at this day.

But your eyes have seen all the great works of the Lord which he has done.

But the land where you are going is a land of hills and valleys, drinking in the rain of heaven:

But take care that your hearts are not turned to false ways so that you become servants and worshippers of other gods;

And the curse if you do not give ear to the orders of the Lord your God, but let yourselves be turned from the way which I have put before you this day, and go after other gods which are not yours.

But let your hearts be turned to the place which will be marked out by the Lord your God, among your tribes, to put his name there;

But when you have gone over Jordan and are living in the land which the Lord your God is giving you as your heritage, and when he has given you rest from all those on every side who are fighting against you, and you are living there safely;

But in the place marked out by the Lord in one of your tribes, there let your burned offerings be offered, and there do what I have given you orders to do.

But you may not take the blood for food, it is to be drained out on the earth like water.

But they will be your food before the Lord your God in the place of his selection, where you may make a feast of them, with your son and your daughter, and your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite who is living with you: and you will have joy before the Lord your God in everything to which you put your hand.

But see that you do not take the blood for food; for the blood is the life; and you may not make use of the life as food with the flesh.

Do not take it for food but let it be drained out on the earth like water.

But the holy things which you have, and the offerings of your oaths, you are to take to the place which will be marked out by the Lord:

But keep on in the ways of the Lord your God, fearing him and keeping his orders and hearing his voice, worshipping him and being true to him.

But put him to death without question; let your hand be the first stretched out against him to put him to death, and then the hands of all the people.

But even among these, there are some which may not be used for food: such as the camel, the hare, and the coney, which are unclean to you, because, though their food comes back, the horn of their feet is not parted in two.

But any which have no skin-plates or wings for swimming, you may not take; they are unclean for you.

But these birds you may not take: the eagle and the gier-eagle and the ospray;

But all clean birds you may take.

A man of another nation may be forced to make payment of his debt, but if your brother has anything of yours, let it go;

But there will be no poor among you; for the Lord will certainly give you his blessing in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage;

For the Lord your God will give you his blessing as he has said: you will let other nations have the use of your money, but you will not make use of theirs; you will be rulers over a number of nations, but they will not be your rulers.

But let your hand be open to give him the use of whatever he is in need of.

But it is right for you to give to him, without grief of heart: for because of this, the blessing of the Lord your God will be on all your work and on everything to which you put your hand.

But give him freely from your flock and from your grain and your wine: in the measure of the wealth which the Lord your God has given you, you are to give to him.

But if he says to you, I have no desire to go away from you; because you and your family are dear to him and he is happy with you;

But year by year you and all your house are to take a meal of it before the Lord, in the place of his selection.

But if it has any mark on it, if it is blind or has damaged legs, or if there is anything wrong with it, it may not be offered to the Lord your God.

Only do not take its blood for food, but let it be drained out on the earth like water.

But in the place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place of his name, there you are to put the Passover to death in the evening, at sundown, at that time of the year when you came out of Egypt.

Keep the feast to the Lord your God for seven days, in the place marked out by the Lord: because the blessing of the Lord your God will be on all the produce of your land and all the work of your hands, and you will have nothing but joy.

On the word of two or three witnesses, a man may be given the punishment of death; but he is not to be put to death on the word of one witness.

So that his heart may not be lifted up over his countrymen, and he may not be turned away from the orders, to one side or the other: but that his life and the lives of his children may be long in his kingdom in Israel.

For these nations, whose land you are taking, give attention to readers of signs and to those using secret arts: but the Lord your God will not let you do so.

But the prophet who takes it on himself to say words in my name which I have not given him orders to say, or who says anything in the name of other gods, will come to his death.

But if any man has hate for his neighbour, and waiting for him secretly makes an attack on him and gives him a blow causing his death, and then goes in flight to one of these towns;

If however it will not make peace with you, but war, then let it be shut in on all sides:
