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.

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.

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;

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.

Thou shalt not have other gods, besides me:

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;

but shewing lovingkindness unto a thousand generation - unto them who love me, and keep my commandments:

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.

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 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 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.

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.

Oh that this their heart might remain in them to revere me, and to keep all my commandments all the days, - that it might he well with them and with their sons unto times age-abiding.

Thou, therefore here stand with me and let me speak unto thee - all the commandment and the statutes and the regulations which thou shalt teach them, - that they may do them in the land which I am giving unto them to possess it.

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.

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;

for he will turn aside thy son from following me, and they will serve other gods, - so shall the anger of Yahweh kindle upon you, and he will destroy thee, speedily.

All the commandment which I am commanding thee to-day, shalt thou, observe, to do, - that ye may, live, and multiply, and enter in and possess the land, which Yahweh sware unto your fathers.

and lest thou shouldest say in thy heart, - Mine own strength and the might of mine own hand, have gotten me this wealth.

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.

Not for thine own righteousness, nor for the uprightness of thine own heart, art thou going in to possess their land, - but or the lawlessness of these nations, is, Yahweh thy God driving them out from before thee, and that he may establish the word which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers, unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob.

Then did Yahweh deliver unto me the two tables of stone, written with the finger of God, - and there was upon them, according to all the words which Yahweh had spoken with you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the convocation.

So then it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Yahweh gave unto me the two tables of stone the tables of the covenant.

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.

And Yahweh spake unto me saying, - I have looked on this people, and lo! a stiff-necked people, it is.

Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and wipe out their name from under the heavens, - and make thee into a nation stronger and more in number than they.

So I turned, and came down out of the mountain, now the mountain was burning with fire, - and the two tables of the covenant were upon my two hands.

So I seized the two tables, and cast them from off my two hands, - and brake them in pieces before your eyes.

For I shrank with fear from the face of the anger and the hot displeasure, wherewith Yahweh was provoked against you to destroy you, - but Yahweh hearkened unto me, even at that time.

Therefore I prostrated myself unto Yahweh and said, My Lord Yahweh! Do not destroy thy people even thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed in thy greatness, - which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a firm hand.

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;

that I may write, upon the tables, the words which were on the first tables which thou brakest in pieces, - then shalt thou put them in the ark.

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.

And he wrote upon the tables according to the first writing - the ten words, which Yahweh had spoken unto you in the mountain, out of the midst of the fire in the day of the convocation, - and Yahweh delivered them unto me.

Then turned I, and came down out of the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made, - and they have remained there, as Yahweh commanded me.

But, I, stayed in the mountain according to the former days, forty days and forty nights, - and Yahweh hearkened unto me at that time also, Yahweh was not willing a to destroy thee.

So then Yahweh said unto me, Up with thee - to break away onward, before the people, - that they may enter in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers, to give unto them.

Therefore shall ye keep all the commandment which I am commanding thee, today, - that ye may be strong, and so enter and possess the land, whither ye are passing over to possess it;

and that ye may prolong your days upon the soil which Yahweh sware unto your fathers, to give unto them and unto their seed, - a land flowing with milk and honey.

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,

Therefore shall ye lay these my words upon your heart, and upon your soul, - and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall serve as bands between your eyes;

that your days may multiply, and the days of your children, upon rite soil which Yahweh sware unto your fathers, to give unto them, - like the days of the heavens upon the earth.

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,

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.

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.

take heed to thyself lest thou be thrust after them, after they have been destroyed from before thee, - and lest thou enquire after their gods, saying - In what manner, did these nations serve their gods, that, I too, may do likewise?

So shall there not cleave to thy hand aught of the devoted thing, - that Yahweh may turn away, from the glow of his anger and grant thee compassion and have compassion upon thee and multiply thee, as he sware unto thy fathers;

These, are the beasts which ye may eat, - the ox, the young of sheep, and the young of goats;

These, may ye eat of all that that are in the waters, - whatsoever hath fins and scales, ye may eat;

and, whatsoever hath not, fins and scales, ye may not eat, - unclean, it is unto you.

Of every clean bird, ye may eat;

saving these, of which ye may not eat, - the eagle and the ossifrage and the osprey;

All clean fowls, ye may eat.

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 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.

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.

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:

that his heart may not be lifted up above his brethren, and he may not turn aside from the commandment to the right hand or to the left, - that he may prolong his days over his kingdom - he and his sons, in the midst of Israel.

This, therefore shall be the due of the priests from the people from them who offer the sacrifice whether ox or lamb, - there shall be given unto the priest, the shoulder and the two cheeks and the maw:

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

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:

according to all which thou didst ask of Yahweh thy God, in Horeb, in the day of the convocation saying, - Let me no further hearken unto the voice of Yahweh my God, and this great fire, let me not see any more lest I die.

And Yahweh said unto me: They have well said what they have spoken.

A prophet, will I raise up unto them, out of the midst of their brethren, like unto thee, - and I will put my words in his mouth, so shall he speak unto them whatsoever I shall command him.

And it shall come to pass, that, the man who will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I, myself will require it of him.

Howbeit the prophet who shall presume to speak a word in my name which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shah speak in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.

that innocent blood may not be sired in the midst of thy land, which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee as an inheritance, - and so shed-blood be upon thee.

One witness I shall not rise up, against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, with regard to any sin that he may commit, - at the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses, must a matter be establish.

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;

thou shalt let toll the mother, and then, her young, mayest thou take for thyself, - that it may go well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.

and the father of the damsel shall say unto the elders, - My daughter, gave I unto this man to wife and he hated her;

and lo! he, hath raised occasions of speech, saying - I found not that thy daughter had the tokens of virginity and yet, these, are the tokens of the virginity of my daughter. And they shall spread out the garment before the elders of the city.

and fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought an evil name upon a virgin of Israel, and she shall remain his wife, he may not put her away, all his days.

then shall the man who lay with her give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, - and she shall be, his, wife, because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away, all his days.

the sons who are born to them, of the third generation, may enter unto them in the convocation of Yahweh.

to a foreigner, thou mayest lend on interest, but to thy brother, shalt thou not lend on interest, - that Yahweh thy God may bless thee, in everything where-unto thou puttest thy hand, upon the land which thou art entering to possess.

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

then may her first husband who sent her away not again take her to become his wife after that she hath been defiled, for that were an abomination, before Yahweh, - lest thou bring sin upon the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee for an inheritance.

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.

forty stripes, may he give him not going beyond, - lest, if he do go beyond to smite him above these, with many stripes, then should thy brother be of no account in thine eyes.

But, if the man like not to take his sister-in-law, then shall his sister-in-law go up unto the gate, unto the elders, and say - My husband's brother hath refused, to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he is not willing to do as a husband's brother unto me.

A weight full and just, shalt thou have, a measure full and just, shalt thou have, - that thy days may be prolonged upon the soil which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee.

And thou shalt respond and say before Yahweh thy God - A Syrian ready to perish, was my father, so he went down to Egypt, and became a sojourner there with men only few; but he became there a nation great, mighty and numerous;

Now, therefore lo! I have brought in the first of the fruit of the soil, which thou hast given unto me, O Yahweh. Thus shalt thou set it down before Yahweh thy God, and shall bow thyself down before Yahweh thy God;

then shalt thou say - before Yahweh thy God: - I have carefully removed that which was hallowed out of the house moreover also I have given it unto the Levite, and unto the sojourner unto the fatherless and unto the widow, according to all thy commandment which thou hast commanded me, - I have not transgressed any of thy commandments neither have I forgotten,

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.

Yahweh will send upon thee cursing, confusion and rebuke, in all whereunto thou settest thy hand that thou mayest do it, - until thou he destroyed and until thou perish quickly, because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.

Ye must, therefore, keep the words of this covenant, and do them, - that ye may prosper in all that ye do.

that he may confirm thee to-day as his own people, while, he, becometh thine own God, as he spake unto thee, - and as he sware unto thy fathers, unto Abraham unto Isaac and unto Jacob.

and so it come to pass while he is hearing the words of this oath, that he will bless himself in his heart - saying, Prosperity, shall I have, although in the stubbornness of my heart, I go on, - so that the drunkenness addeth to the thirst:

The secret things, belong unto Yahweh our God and, the things that are revealed, belong to us and to our children unto times age-abiding, that we may do all the words of this law.

It is, not in the heavens, - that thou shouldest say - Who shall ascend for us into the heavens that he may fetch it for us, that we may hear it, and do it?

Neither is it, over the sea, - that thou shouldest say, Who will pass over for us to the other side of the sea, that he may fetch it for us, that we may hear it, and do it?

and said unto them - A hundred and twenty years old, am I to-day, I can no more go out and come in, - Yahweh indeed hath said unto me, Thou shall not pass over this Jordan.

Call together the people - the men and the women and the little ones, and thy sojourner who is within thy gates, - that they may hear, and that they may learn, so shall they revere Yahweh your God, and observe to do all the words of this law;
