Then said Yahweh unto me - Up! get down quickly out of this mountain, for thy people whom thou hast brought forth out of Egypt, have broken faith, - they have turned aside quickly, out of the way which I commanded them, - they have made them a molten image.

Then looked I, and lo! ye had sinned against Yahweh your God, ye had made you a molten calf, - ye had turned aside quickly, out of the way which Yahweh had commanded you.

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.

At that time, said Yahweh unto me - Cut thee out two tables of stone like the first, and come up unto me into the mountain, - and make thee an ark of wood;

So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut out two tables of stone like the first, - and went up the mountain, having the two tables in my hand.

For this cause, hath Levi neither portion nor inheritance with his brethren, - Yahweh, is his inheritance, as Yahweh thy God spake unto him.

Now, therefore, O Israel, what is, Yahweh thy God, asking of thee, - but to revere Yahweh thy God to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Yahweh thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul:

to keep the commandments of Yahweh and his statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day, - for thy good?

Lo! unto Yahweh thy God, belong the heavens even the highest heavens, - the earth, with all that is therein.

For as touching Yahweh your God, he, is God of gods, and Lord of lords; the great the mighty, and the fearful GOD, who respecteth not persons, nor accepteth a bribe;

Yahweh thy God, shalt thou revere, Him, shalt thou serve, - And unto him, shalt thou cleave, And in his name, shalt thou swear.

He, is thy song of praise, And, he, thy God, - who hath done with thee these great and fearful things, which thine own eyes have seen.

As seventy souls, went thy fathers down to Egypt, - and, now, Yahweh thy God hath made thee like the stars of the heavens for multitude.

Therefore shalt thou love Yahweh thy God and keep his observance and his statutes and his regulations and his commandments all the days.

And ye must know to-day, (for not with your sons do I speak who know not, neither have they seen) the discipline of Yahweh your God, - his greatness, his firm hand, and his stretched-out arm;

a land which Yahweh thy God careth for, - continually are the eyes of Yahweh thy God upon it, from the beginning of the year, even unto the end of the year.

And it shall come to pass, if ye will hearken, unto my commandments, which, I am commanding you to-day, - to love Yahweh your God, and to serve him, with, all your heart, and with all your soul,

So would the anger of Yahweh kindle upon you and he would shut up the heavens, that them should he no rain, and the ground, would not yield her increase, - so should ye perish speedily, from off the good land, which Yahweh is giving unto you.

For if ye do, indeed keep, all this commandment which I am commanding you to do it, - to love Yahweh your God, to Walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him,

No man shall stand before you, - the dread of you and the fear of you, will Yahweh your God put forth over the face of all the land whereon ye shall tread, as he spake unto you.

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

and the curse if ye, shall not hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh your God, but shall turn aside out of the way which I am commanding you to-day, - to go after other gods which ye know not.

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.

For ye are passing over the Jordan, to enter to possess the land which Yahweh your God, is giving unto you, - so shall ye possess it and dwell therein.

These are the statutes and the regulations which ye must observe to do, in the land which Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath given unto thee, to possess it, - all the days that ye are living upon the sell:

Ye must not do thus unto Yahweh your God;

but, unto the place which Yahweh your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, - as his habitation, shall ye ask your way, and come in thither;

and shall eat there before Yahweh your God, and rejoice in all whereunto ye are putting your hand, Ye, and your households, - wherewith Yahweh thy God hath blessed thee.

Because ye have not entered as yet, - into the resting-place and into the inheritance which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee.

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,

then shall it be, that unto the place which Yahweh your God shall choose to make a habitation for his name there, thither, shall ye bring in all that I am commanding you, - your ascending-offerings and your sacrifices your tithes and the heave-offering of your hand, and all your chosen vow-offerings which ye shall vow unto Yahweh.

So shall ye rejoice before Yahweh your God, Ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your servants and your handmaids, - and the Levite that is within your gates, forasmuch as he hath neither portion nor inheritance with you.

Howbeit of anything thy soul desireth, mayest thou sacrifice and so eat flesh - according to the blessing of Yahweh thy God which he hath bestowed upon thee, in all thy gates, the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, - as the gazelle and as the hart,

but before Yahweh thy God, shalt thou eat it in the place which Yahweh thy God shall choose, thou and thy son and thy daughter, and thy servant and thy handmaid, and the Levite who is within thy gates, - so shalt thou rejoice before Yahweh thy God, in all whereunto thou puttest thy hand.

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.

and shalt offer thine ascending-sacrifices, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of Yahweh thy God, - and the blood of thine other sacrifices, shall be poured out upon the altar of Yahweh thy God, and then the flesh, shalt thou eat.

Observe and hear all these things which I am commanding thee, - that it may be well with thee and with thy children after thee, - unto times age-abiding, so long as thou shalt do that which is pleasing and right in the eyes of Yahweh thy God.

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,

Thou shalt not do likewise unto Yahweh thy God, - for everything that is an abomination unto Yahweh which he doth hate, have they done unto their gods, for even their sons and their daughters, do they consume with fire unto their gods.

thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or unto that dreamer of dreams, - for Yahweh your God, is putting you to the proof, to know whether ye do love Yahweh your God, with all your heart and with all your soul.

After Yahweh your God, shall ye walk And him, shall ye revere, - And his commandments, shall ye observe. And unto his voice, shall ye hearken, And him, shall ye serve And unto him, shall ye cleave.

And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death because he hath spoken revolt against Yahweh your God, - who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt and redeemed thee out of the house of servants, to seduce thee out of the way wherein Yahweh shy God hath commanded thee to walk, - so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst.

And thou shalt stone him with stones that he die, - for he hath sought to seduce thee from Yahweh thy God, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of servants.

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

and all the spoil thereof, shalt thou gather together into the midst of the broad way thereof, and shalt consume with fire the city and all the spoil thereof every whirl unto Yahweh thy God, - and it shall be a heap unto times age-abiding, it shall be built no more.

so long as thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, to keep all his commandments, which I am commanding thee to-day, - to do what is right in the eyes of Yahweh thy God.

Sons, are ye unto Yahweh your God, - ye shall not cut yourselves, neither shall ye put baldness between your eyes for the dead.

For, a holy people, thou art unto Yahweh thy God, - and, of thee, did Yahweh make choice, that thou shouldest become his people as a treasure, above all the peoples that are on the face of the ground.

the hart and the gazelle and the roebuck, - and the wild goat and the mountain goat, and the wild ox, and the mountain sheep.

And every beast that parteth the hoof and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, chewing the cud, among beasts, the same, shall ye eat.

Nevertheless these, shall ye not eat, of them that chew the cud, and of them that divide the cloven hoof, - the camel and the hare and the rabbit for, though they do chew the cud, yet the hoof, do they not part, unclean, they are unto you.

And, the swine, because though he doth divide the hoof, yet he cheweth not the cud, unclean, he is unto you, - of their flesh, shall ye not eat, and their carcases, shall ye not touch.

and the vulture and the kite, and the falcon after its kind;

Ye shall not eat any thing that dieth of itself: to the sojourner who is within thy gates, mayest thou give it and he may eat it or thou mayest sell it to a foreigner, for a holy people, art thou unto Yahweh thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid, in the milk of its dam.

And thou shalt eat before Yahweh thy God - in the place which he shall choose to make a habitation for his name there, - the tithe of thy corn thy new wine and thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock, - that thou mayest learn to revere Yahweh thy God all the days.

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,

then shalt thou turn it into silver, - and shalt bind up the silver in thy hand, and shalt journey unto the place, which Yahweh thy God shall choose;

and shalt turn the silver into whatsoever thy soul desireth - of the herd or of the flock, or of wine or of strong drink, or of whatsoever thy soul shall ask thee for, - and shalt eat it there, before Yahweh thy God, and shalt rejoice, thou and thy household,

and the Levite shall come in - because he hath neither portion nor inheritance with thee - and the sojourner and the fatherless and the widow who are within thy gates, and they shall eat and be satisfied, - that Yahweh thy God may bless thee, in all the work of thy hand which thou shalt do.

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:

only if thou do hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, - to observe to do - all this commandment which I am commanding time to-day.

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.

thou shalt, richly load, him out of thy flock, and out of thy threshing-floor and out of thy wine-vat, - of that wherewith Yahweh thy God hath blessed thee, shalt thou give unto him;

and thou shalt remember that a servant, thou wast in the land of Egypt, and that Yahweh thy God, redeemed thee, - for this cause, am I commanding thee this thing, to-day.

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.

Every firstling that is brought forth in thy herd and in thy flock that is a male, shalt thou hallow unto Yahweh thy God, - thou shalt not work with a firstling of thine oxen, neither shalt thou shear a firstling of thy flock:

before Yahweh thy God, shalt thou eat it year by year, in the place which Yahweh shall choose, - thou, and thy households.

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:

therefore shalt thou sacrifice a passover unto Yahweh thy God of flock or herd, - in the place which Yahweh shall choose to make a habitation for his name there.

Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover, - within any of thine own gates which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee;

but in the place which Yahweh thy God shall choose to make a habitation for his name, there, shalt thou sacrifice the passover in the evening, - at the going in of the sun, at the very time thou earnest forth out of Egypt.

Therefore shalt thou cook and eat it in the place which Yahweh thy God, shall choose, - and shalt turn away in the morning, and go thy way unto thy tents.

Six days, shalt thou eat unleavened cakes, - and, on the seventh day, shall be a closing feast, unto Yahweh thy God, thou shalt do no work.

So shalt thou keep the festival of weeks unto Yahweh thy God, in the measure of the freewill offering of thy hand which thou shalt give, - as Yahweh thy God shall bless thee.

So shalt thou rejoice before Yahweh thy God - thou, and thy son and thy daughter and thy servant and thy handmaid, and the Levite who is within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless and the widow who are in thy midst, - in the place which Yahweh thy God shall choose, to make a habitation for his name there.

Seven days, shalt thou keep festival unto Yahweh thy God, in the place which Yahweh shall choose, - for Yahweh thy God, will bless thee, in all thine increase and in all the work of thy hands, - therefore shalt thou do nothing but, rejoice.

Three times in the year, shall each one of thy males see the face of Yahweh thy God, in the place which he shall choose, at the festival of unleavened cakes and at the festival of weeks and at the festival of booths, - and none shall see the face of Yahweh empty-handed:

every man according as his hand can give, - according to the blessing of Yahweh thy God, which he hath bestowed upon thee.

Judges and officers, shalt thou appoint thee in all thy gates, which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, by thy tribes, - and they shall judge the people, with righteous judgment,

What is right, what is right, shalt thou pursue, - that thou mayest live and possess the land, which, Yahweh thy God, is giving unto thee.

Thou shalt not plant thee, as a sacred stem, any tree, - near unto the altar of Yahweh thy God which thou shalt make for thyself;

neither shalt thou set thee up a pillar, - which Yahweh thy God, doth hate.

Thou shalt not sacrifice unto Yahweh thy God a bullock or a sheep wherein is a blemish, any unseemly thing: for an abomination unto Yahweh thy God, it would be.

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;

And, the man who shall do presumptuously by not hearkening unto the priest that standeth to minister there to Yahweh thy God, or unto the judge, that man shall die, and so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of Israel.

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,

thou shalt, set, over thee as king, him whom Yahweh thy God shall choose, - out of the midst of thy brethren, shalt thou set over thee a king, thou mayest not appoint over thee a man that is a foreigner, who is not thy brother.

so shall it be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life, - that he may learn to revere Yahweh his God, to observe all the words of this law and these statutes to do them:

For of him, hath Yahweh thy God made choice out of all thy tribes, - to stand to minister in the name of Yahweh of him and his sons all the days.

then may he minister in the name of Yahweh his God, - like any of his brethren the Levites who are standing there before Yahweh.

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.

For, an abomination unto Yahweh, is everyone who doeth these things, - and on account of these abominations, is Yahweh thy God dispossessing them from before thee.

Blameless, shalt thou be with, Yahweh thy God;

for, these nations whom thou art dispossessing, unto them who use hidden arts and unto diviners, do hearken, but as for thee, not so, doth Yahweh thy God suffer thee.

A prophet out of thy midst of thy brethren like unto me, will Yahweh thy God, raise up unto thee - unto him, shall ye hearken:
