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 ask, I pray you, of the former days which were before thee, even from the day when God created man upon the earth, yea from one end of the heavens even to the other end of the heavens, - whether aught was ever brought to pass, like this great thing, or was ever heard of like it:

These, are the testimonies, and the statutes and the regulations, - which Moses spake unto the sons of Israel when they came forth out of Egypt:

over the Jordan in the valley over against Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, - whom Moses and the sons of Israel smote, when they came forth out of Egypt:

And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, the mountain also burning with fire, then drew ye near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes and your elders,

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.

and thou shalt impress them upon thy sons, and shalt speak of them, - when thou sittest in thy house and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up;

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;

When thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, - What mean the testimonies and the statutes and the regulations, which Yahweh our God commanded you?

and righteousness, shall it he to us, - when we take heed to do all this commandment, before Yahweh our God, as he commanded us.

When Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land which thou art going in to possess, and shall clear away many nations from before thee - the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites, and the Canaanites and the Perizzites, and the Hivites and the Jebusites - seven nations greater in number and stronger than thou;

Do not speak in thy heart, when Yahweh thy God casteth them out from before thee saying, For mine own righteousness, hath Yahweh brought me in, to possess this land, - whereas it is for the lawlessness of these nations, that, Yahweh, is dispossessing them from before thee.

Remember - do not forget, how thou didst provoke Yahweh thy God, in the desert, - yea from the day when thou earnest forth out of the and of Egypt until ye entered as far as this place, have ye been quarrelling, with Yahweh.

When I went up into the mountain to receive the tables of stone - the tables of the covenant, which Yahweh had solemnised with you, then abode I in the mountain forty days and forty nights, food, did I not, eat, and water, did I not drink.

Also when Yahweh sent you out of Kadesh-barnea saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given unto you then quarreled ye with the bidding of Yahweh your God, and trusted him not, neither hearkened unto his voice.

and what he did unto the forces of Egypt - unto his horses and unto his chariots in that he caused the waters of the Red Sea to flow over their faces, when they were pursuing after you, - and so Yahweh destroyed them (unto this day);

and ye shall teach them unto your children by speaking of them, - when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up;

the blessing, when ye shall hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I am commanding you to-day;

And it shall come to pass when Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land which thou art entering to possess, then shalt thou put the blessing, upon Mount Gerizim, and the curse, upon Mount Ebal.

But, when ye shall pass over the Jordan, and settle down in the land which, Yahweh your God, is causing you to inherit, - and he shall give you rest from all your enemies round about, and ye shall dwell securely,

When Yahweh thy God shall enlarge thy boundary - as he hath spoken unto thee - and thou shalt say. I would eat flesh because thy soul desireth to eat flesh, of whatsoever thy soul desireth, mayest thou eat flesh.

When the place which Yahweh thy God shall choose to put his name there, shall be I too far for thee, then shalt thou sacrifice of thy herd or of thy flock which Yahweh hath given unto thee, as I have commanded thee, - and shalt eat, within thine own gates, of whatsoever thy soul desireth.

Thou shalt not eat it, - that is may be well With thee and With thy children after the when thou shalt do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh.

When Yahweh thy God shall cut off from before thee, the nations Whom thou art going in to dispossess, - and thou do dispossess them, and dwell in their land,

When there shall arise in thy midst - a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, - and he shall give unto thee a sign or a wonder;

When thy brother - son of thine own mother or thine own son or thine own daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend who is as thine own soul, shall entice thee secretly, saying, - Let us go and serve other gods, whom thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;

When thou shalt hear - in one of thy cities which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee to dwell there - saying:

But, when the way becometh too long for thee because thou canst not carry it, because the place is too far for thee which Yahweh thy God shall choose to put his name there, - because Yahweh thy God blesseth thee,

save, when there shall be among you no needy person, - for Yahweh will indeed bless, thee, in the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee as an inheritance to possess it:

When, Yahweh thy God, hath blessed thee, as he spake unto thee, then shalt thou lead unto many nations but thou, shalt not borrow, and, thou shalt rule over many nations but over thee, shall they not rule.

When there cometh to be among you a needy person any one of thy brethren within any one of thy gates, in thy land, which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart nor shut thy hand from thy needy brother;

Thou shalt, give, unto him, and thy heart shall not be evil when thou givest unto him, - for on account of this very thing, will Yahweh thy God bless thee, in all that thou doest and in all whereunto thou puttest thy hand.

When thy brother a Hebrew man (or a Hebrew woman) selleth himself unto thee, then shall he serve thee six years, - and in the seventh year, shalt thou let him go out free from thee;

and when thou lettest him go out free, from thee, thou shalt not let him go out empty:

It shall not be hard in thine eyes when thou lettest him go out free, from thee; for to the double of the hire of a hireling, hath he served thee six years, - -so will Yahweh thy God bless thee, in all that thou doest.

But, when there is in it any blemish, lameness or blindness, any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto Yahweh thy God:

Observe the month of Abib, when thou shalt keep a passover unto Yahweh thy God, - for in the month of Abib, did Yahweh thy God bring thee forth out of Egypt by night:

Thou shalt not eat therewith any thing leavened, seven days, shalt thou eat therewith unleavened cakes the bread of humiliation, - for in haste, camest thou forth out of the land of Egypt, that thou mayest remember the day when thou earnest forth out of the land of Egypt, all the days of thy life.

The festival of booths, shalt thou keep for thyself seven days, - when thou hast gathered in out of thy threshing-floor and out of thy wine-vat.

When there shall be found in thy midst, within any of thy gates, which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, man or woman who doeth the thing which is wicked in the eyes of Yahweh thy God by transgressing his covenant;

When any matter of judgment, shall be too difficult for thee - between blood and blood between plea and plea or between stroke and stroke, matters of contention within thy gates, then shalt thou arise and go up unto the place which Yahweh thy God shall choose;

When thou shalt enter into the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, and shalt possess it and dwell therein, - and shalt say - I will set over me a king, like all the nations that are round about me,

Moreover he shall not multiply to himself horses, neither shall he cause the people to return to Egypt that he may multiply horses, - when, Yahweh, hath said unto you, Ye shall not again return this way any more.

But it shall be when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, then shall he write for himself a copy of this law upon a scroll, out of that which is before the priests the Levites:

And when the Levite shall come in out of any of thy gates out of any part of Israel, where he is sojourning, - yea shall come in with all the desire of his soul, into the place which Yahweh shall choose,

When thou art coming into the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, thou shalt not learn to do according to the abominable doings of those nations.

And, when thou shalt say in thy heart, - In what manner shall we know the word which Yahweh hath not spoken!?,

When the prophet shall speak in the name of Yahweh and the word shall not come to pass, neither shall come in, that, is the word which Yahweh, hath not spoken, - presumptuously, hath the prophet spoken it, thou shall not be in dread of him.

When Yahweh thy God, shall cut off the nations whose land Yahweh thy God is giving thee, - and thou shalt dispossess them, and dwell in their cities and in their houses,

as when one entereth with his neighbour into a forest, to fell trees, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe, to cut down the tree, and the head flieth off from the handle, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die, he, shall flee into one of these cities, and live;

But, when any man shall be hating his neighbour, and shall lie in wait for him and rise up against him, and smite him so as to take away his life that he dieth, - and shall then flee into one of these cities,

When there shall rise up a wrongful witness against a man, - to answer against him perversely,

When thou shalt go out to wage war against thine enemy, and shalt see the horses and chariots of a people more in number than thou, thou shalt not be afraid of them, - for, Yahweh thy God, is with thee, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

And it shall be, when ye are coming nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people;

And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, then shall they appoint captains of hosts at the head of the people.

When thou shalt come nigh unto a city, to fight against it, - then shalt thou proclaim unto it - peace,

When thou shalt besiege a city for many days to fight against it, to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by wielding against them an axe, when of them, thou mightest eat, them, there-fore shalt thou not cut down, - for, Is the tree of the field, a man, that it should enter, because of thee into the siege?

When there shall be found one slain on the soil which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee to possess, lying prostrate in the field, - it not being known who smote him,

Thou, therefore shalt consume the guilt of shedding innocent blood out of thy midst, - when thou shalt do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh.

When thou shalt go forth to war against thine enemies, - and Yahweh thy God shall deliver them into thy hand and thou shalt take them captive;

When a man shall have two wives - the one beloved and, the other hated, and they have borne him sons, both she that is beloved, and she that is hated, - and it shall be that the firstborn son belongeth to her that is hated,

then shall it be, that in the day when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, he may not treat the son of the beloved, instead of the son of the hated, as the firstborn;

When a man hath a son, rebellious and insulting, who will not hearken to the voice of his father, and to the voice of his mother, - though they chastise him, yet will not hearken unto them,

But when there shall be in any man a sin worthy of death and he is to be put to death, - and thou shalt hang him on a tree,

And, if thy brother be not nigh unto thee or thou know him not, then shalt thou make room for it within thee own shed and it shall be with thee, until thy brother seek after it, when thou shalt return it unto him.

When a bird's-nest chanceth to be before thee, - in the way, in any tree or upon the ground, whether with nestlings or eggs, and, the mother, be sitting upon the nestlings or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the mother upon the young;

When thou buildest a new house, then shalt thou make a parapet to thy roof, so shalt thou not treasure up blood-guiltiness against thy house, for he that is in danger of falling might fall therefrom.

When a man taketh a wife, - and goeth in unto her and hateth her;

When a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then shall, both, of them die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman, so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of Israel.

When a damsel that is a virgin is betrothed to a husband, - and a man findeth her in the city, and lieth with her,

but, unto the damsel, shalt thou do nothing, the damsel, is not guilty of a sin worthy of death, for as when a man riseth up against his neighbour, and smiteth him so as to take away life, so, is this matter;

When a man findeth a damsel that is a virgin who is not betrothed, and layeth hold of her and lieth with her, and they are found,

because they met you not with bread and water, in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt, - but hired against thee Balaam son of Beer from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.

When thou goest forth into camp against thine enemies, then shalt thou beware of everything foul.

When there is in thy midst a man who is not clean through a mischance of the night, then shall he go forth unto the outside of the camp, he shall not come into the midst of the camp;

but it shall be, when the evening cometh on, he shall bathe himself in water, - and at the going in of the sun, he shall come into the midst of the camp.

and a blade, shalt thou have upon thy staff, - so shall it be, that when thou wouldest sit down outside, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which hath passed from thee:

When thou shalt vow a vow unto Yahweh thy God, thou shalt not delay to make it good, - for Yahweh thy God would, require, it of thee, and it should be in thee sin.

When thou enterest into the vineyard of thy neighbour, then mayest thou eat grapes at thy pleasure to thy fill,-but into thy vessel, shalt thou put none.

When thou enterest the standing corn of thy neighbour, thou mayest pluck off ears with thy hand, - but a sickle, shalt thou not wield against the standing corn of thy neighbour.

When a man taketh a woman, and marrieth her, then shall it be, if she find not favour in his eyes, because he hath found in her some matter of shame, that he shall write her a scroll of divorcement, and put it into her hand, and shall send her forth, out of his house.

And, when she cometh forth out of his house, then may she go her way, and become another man's.

When a man taketh a new wife, he shall not go forth to war, neither shall he be charged with any business, - free, shall he be for his own house one year, and shall rejoice with his wife whom he hath taken.

When a man is found stealing any person from among his brethren of the sons of Israel, and making merchandise of him, or selling hint, then shall that thief die, so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst.

When thou lendest thy neighbour a loan of anything, thou shalt not enter into his house to secure his pledge:

When thou cuttest down thy harvest in thy field and forgettest a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not turn back to fetch it, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, shall it belong, - that Yahweh thy God, may bless thee, in all the Work of thy hands.

When thou beatest thine olive-tree, thou shalt not glean after thee, - to the sojourner to the fatherless and to the widow, shall it belong,

When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, - and she putteth forth her hand, and seizeth him by his parts of shame,

Remember that which Amalek did unto thee by the way when ye came forth out of Egypt;

Therefore shall it be when Yahweh thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about in the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee for an inheritance to possess it, then shalt thou wipe out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens, - thou shalt not forget.

And it shall be when thou shalt enter into the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee for an inheritance, - and shalt possess it and dwell therein,

When thou shalt make an end of tithing all the tithe of thine increase in the third year the year of tithing, - and shalt give unto the Levite unto the sojourner, unto the fatherless and unto the widow, and they shall eat within thy gates and be satisfied,

I have not eaten in my sorrow therefrom neither have I removed therefrom when unclean, neither have I given thereof unto the dead, - I have hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh my God, I have done according to all which thou hast commanded me.

So then it shall be in the day when ye shall pass over the Jordan, into the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, - that thou shalt rear thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster;

and shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou shalt pass over, - to the end that thou mayest enter upon the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath spoken unto thee.
