| Deuteronomy 4 Text (WEB)
|
- Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and to the ordinances, which I teach you, to do them; that you may live, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, gives you.
- You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish from it, that you may keep the commandments of Yahweh your God which I command you.
- Your eyes have seen what Yahweh did because of Baal Peor; for all the men who followed Baal Peor, Yahweh your God has destroyed them from the midst of you.
- But you who did cling to Yahweh your God are all alive this day.
- Behold, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as Yahweh my God commanded me, that you should do so in the midst of the land where you go in to possess it.
- Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who shall hear all these statutes, and say, "Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people."
- For what great nation is there, that has a god so near to them, as Yahweh our God is whenever we call on him?
- What great nation is there, that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
- Only take heed to yourself, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children's children;
- the day that you stood before Yahweh your God in Horeb, when Yahweh said to me, "Assemble me the people, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children."
- You came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of the sky, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness.
- Yahweh spoke to you out of the midst of the fire: you heard the voice of words, but you saw no form; only [you heard] a voice.
- He declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments; and he wrote them on two tables of stone.
- Yahweh commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it.
- Take therefore good heed to yourselves; for you saw no kind of form on the day that Yahweh spoke to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire.
- Lest you corrupt yourselves, and make yourself an engraved image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
- the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky,
- the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth;
- and lest you lift up your eyes to the sky, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the army of the sky, you are drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which Yahweh your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole sky.
- But Yahweh has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as at this day.
- Furthermore Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in to that good land, which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance:
- but I must die in this land, I must not go over the Jordan; but you shall go over, and possess that good land.
- Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he made with you, and make you an engraved image in the form of anything which Yahweh your God has forbidden you.
- For Yahweh your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.
- When you shall father children, and children's children, and you shall have been long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make an engraved image in the form of anything, and shall do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh your God, to provoke him to anger;
- I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto you go over the Jordan to possess it; you shall not prolong your days on it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
- Yahweh will scatter you among the peoples, and you shall be left few in number among the nations, where Yahweh shall lead you away.
- There you shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
- But from there you shall seek Yahweh your God, and you shall find him, when you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.
- When you are in oppression, and all these things are come on you, in the latter days you shall return to Yahweh your God, and listen to his voice:
- for Yahweh your God is a merciful God; he will not fail you, neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore to them.
- For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from the one end of the sky to the other, whether there has been [any such thing] as this great thing is, or has been heard like it?
- Did ever a people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live?
- Or has God tried to go and take him a nation from the midst of [another] nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Yahweh your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
- It was shown to you so that you might know that Yahweh is God. There is no one else besides him.
- Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might instruct you: and on earth he made you to see his great fire; and you heard his words out of the midst of the fire.
- Because he loved your fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought you out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt;
- to drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as at this day.
- Know therefore this day, and lay it to your heart, that Yahweh he is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is none else.
- You shall keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command you this day, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land, which Yahweh your God gives you, forever.
- Then Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise;
- that the manslayer might flee there, who kills his neighbor unawares, and didn't hate him in time past; and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live:
- [namely], Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.
- This is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
- these are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Moses spoke to the children of Israel, when they came forth out of Egypt,
- beyond the Jordan, in the valley over against Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel struck, when they came forth out of Egypt.
- They took his land in possession, and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise;
- from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, even to Mount Sion (the same is Hermon),
- and all the Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.

- ועתה ישראל שמע אל־החקים ואל־המשפטים אשר אנכי מלמד אתכם לעשות למען תחיו ובאתם וירשתם את־הארץ אשר יהוה אלהי אבתיכם נתן לכם׃
- לא תספו על־הדבר אשר אנכי מצוה אתכם ולא תגרעו ממנו לשמר את־מצות יהוה אלהיכם אשר אנכי מצוה אתכם׃
- עיניכם הראת את אשר־עשה יהוה בבעל פעור כי כל־האיש אשר הלך אחרי בעל־פעור השמידו יהוה אלהיך מקרבך׃
- ואתם הדבקים ביהוה אלהיכם חיים כלכם היום׃
- ראה למדתי אתכם חקים ומשפטים כאשר צוני יהוה אלהי לעשות כן בקרב הארץ אשר אתם באים שמה לרשתה׃
- ושמרתם ועשיתם כי הוא חכמתכם ובינתכם לעיני העמים אשר ישמעון את כל־החקים האלה ואמרו רק עם־חכם ונבון הגוי הגדול הזה׃
- כי מי־גוי גדול אשר־לו אלהים קרבים אליו כיהוה אלהינו בכל־קראנו אליו׃
- ומי גוי גדול אשר־לו חקים ומשפטים צדיקם ככל התורה הזאת אשר אנכי נתן לפניכם היום׃
- רק השמר לך ושמר נפשך מאד פן־תשכח את־הדברים אשר־ראו עיניך ופן־יסורו מלבבך כל ימי חייך והודעתם לבניך ולבני בניך׃
- יום אשר עמדת לפני יהוה אלהיך בחרב באמר יהוה אלי הקהל־לי את־העם ואשמעם את־דברי אשר ילמדון ליראה אתי כל־הימים אשר הם חיים על־האדמה ואת־בניהם ילמדון׃
- ותקרבון ותעמדון תחת ההר וההר בער באש עד־לב השמים חשך עןן וערפל׃
- וידבר יהוה אליכם מתוך האש קול דברים אתם שמעים ותמונה אינכם ראים זולתי קול׃
- ויגד לכם את־בריתו אשר צוה אתכם לעשות עשרת הדברים ויכתבם על־שני לחות אבנים׃
- ואתי צוה יהוה בעת ההוא ללמד אתכם חקים ומשפטים לעשתכם אתם בארץ אשר אתם עברים שמה לרשתה׃
- ונשמרתם מאד לנפשתיכם כי לא ראיתם כל־תמונה ביום דבר יהוה אליכם בחרב מתוך האש׃
- פן־תשחתון ועשיתם לכם פסל תמונת כל־סמל תבנית זכר או נקבה׃
- תבנית כל־בהמה אשר בארץ תבנית כל־צפור כנף אשר תעוף בשמים׃
- תבנית כל־רמש באדמה תבנית כל־דגה אשר־במים מתחת לארץ׃
- ופן־תשא עיניך השמימה וראית את־השמש ואת־הירח ואת־הכוכבים כל צבא השמים ונדחת והשתחוית להם ועבדתם אשר חלק יהוה אלהיך אתם לכל העמים תחת כל־השמים׃
- ואתכם לקח יהוה ויוצא אתכם מכור הברזל ממצרים להיות לו לעם נחלה כיום הזה׃
- ויהוה התאנף־בי על־דבריכם וישבע לבלתי עברי את־הירדן ולבלתי־בא אל־הארץ הטובה אשר יהוה אלהיך נתן לך נחלה׃
- כי אנכי מת בארץ הזאת אינני עבר את־הירדן ואתם עברים וירשתם את־הארץ הטובה הזאת׃
- השמרו לכם פן־תשכחו את־ברית יהוה אלהיכם אשר כרת עםכם ועשיתם לכם פסל תמונת כל אשר צוך יהוה אלהיך׃
- כי יהוה אלהיך אש אכלה הוא אל קנא׃ ף
- כי־תוליד בנים ובני בנים ונושנתם בארץ והשחתם ועשיתם פסל תמונת כל ועשיתם הרע בעיני יהוה־אלהיך להכעיסו׃
- העידתי בכם היום את־השמים ואת־הארץ כי־אבד תאבדון מהר מעל הארץ אשר אתם עברים את־הירדן שמה לרשתה לא־תאריכן ימים עליה כי השמד תשמדון׃
- והפיץ יהוה אתכם בעמים ונשארתם מתי מספר בגוים אשר ינהג יהוה אתכם שמה׃
- ועבדתם־שם אלהים מעשה ידי אדם עץ ואבן אשר לא־יראון ולא ישמעון ולא יאכלון ולא יריחן׃
- ובקשתם משם את־יהוה אלהיך ומצאת כי תדרשנו בכל־לבבך ובכל־נפשך׃
- בצר לך ומצאוך כל הדברים האלה באחרית הימים ושבת עד־יהוה אלהיך ושמעת בקלו׃
- כי אל רחום יהוה אלהיך לא ירפך ולא ישחיתך ולא ישכח את־ברית אבתיך אשר נשבע להם׃
- כי שאל־נא לימים ראשנים אשר־היו לפניך למן־היום אשר ברא אלהים אדם על־הארץ ולמקצה השמים ועד־קצה השמים הנהיה כדבר הגדול הזה או הנשמע כמהו׃
- השמע עם קול אלהים מדבר מתוך־האש כאשר־שמעת אתה ויחי׃
- או הנסה אלהים לבוא לקחת לו גוי מקרב גוי במסת באתת ובמופתים ובמלחמה וביד חזקה ובזרוע נטויה ובמוראים גדלים ככל אשר־עשה לכם יהוה אלהיכם במצרים לעיניך׃
- אתה הראת לדעת כי יהוה הוא האלהים אין עוד מלבדו׃
- מן־השמים השמיעך את־קלו ליסרך ועל־הארץ הראך את־אשו הגדולה ודבריו שמעת מתוך האש׃
- ותחת כי אהב את־אבתיך ויבחר בזרעו אחריו ויוצאך בפניו בכחו הגדל ממצרים׃
- להוריש גוים גדלים ועצמים ממך מפניך להביאך לתת־לך את־ארצם נחלה כיום הזה׃
- וידעת היום והשבת אל־לבבך כי יהוה הוא האלהים בשמים ממעל ועל־הארץ מתחת אין עוד׃
- ושמרת את־חקיו ואת־מצותיו אשר אנכי מצוך היום אשר ייטב לך ולבניך אחריך ולמען תאריך ימים על־האדמה אשר יהוה אלהיך נתן לך כל־הימים׃ ף
- אז יבדיל משה שלש ערים בעבר הירדן מזרחה שמש׃
- לנס שמה רוצח אשר ירצח את־רעהו בבלי־דעת והוא לא־שנא לו מתמול שלשום ונס אל־אחת מן־הערים האל וחי׃
- את־בצר במדבר בארץ המישר לראובני ואת־ראמת בגלעד לגדי ואת־גולן בבשן למנשי׃
- וזאת התורה אשר־שם משה לפני בני ישראל׃
- אלה העדת והחקים והמשפטים אשר דבר משה אל־בני ישראל בצאתם ממצרים׃
- בעבר הירדן בגיא מול בית פעור בארץ סיחן מלך האמרי אשר יושב בחשבון אשר הכה משה ובני ישראל בצאתם ממצרים׃
- ויירשו את־ארצו ואת־ארץ עוג מלך־הבשן שני מלכי האמרי אשר בעבר הירדן מזרח שמש׃
- מערער אשר על־שפת־נחל ארןן ועד־הר שיאן הוא חרמון׃
- וכל־הערבה עבר הירדן מזרחה ועד ים הערבה תחת אשדת הפסגה׃ ף

| Deuteronomy 4 Text (Latin)
|
- Et nunc, Israël, audi præcepta et judicia, quæ ego doceo te : ut faciens ea, vivas, et ingrediens possideas terram, quam Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum daturus est vobis.
- Non addetis ad verbum, quod vobis loquor, nec auferetis ex eo : custodite mandata Domini Dei vestri, quæ ego præcipio vobis.
- Oculi vestri viderunt omnia quæ fecit Dominus contra Beelphegor, quomodo contriverit omnes cultores ejus de medio vestri.
- Vos autem qui adhæretis Domino Deo vestro, vivitis universi usque in præsentem diem.
- Scitis quod docuerim vos præcepta atque justitias, sicut mandavit mihi Dominus Deus meus : sic facietis ea in terra, quam possessuri estis :
- et observabitis et implebitis opere. Hæc est enim vestra sapientia, et intellectus coram populis, ut audientes universa præcepta hæc, dicant : En populus sapiens et intelligens, gens magna.
- Nec est alia natio tam grandis, quæ habeat deos appropinquantes sibi, sicut Deus noster adest cunctis obsecrationibus nostris.
- Quæ est enim alia gens sic inclyta, ut habeat cæremonias, justaque judicia, et universam legem, quam ego proponam hodie ante oculos vestros ?
- Custodi igitur temetipsum, et animam tuam sollicite. Ne obliviscaris verborum, quæ viderunt oculi tui, et ne excidant de corde tuo cunctis diebus vitæ tuæ. Docebis ea filios ac nepotes tuos,
- a die in quo stetisti coram Domino Deo tuo in Horeb, quando Dominus locutus est mihi, dicens : Congrega ad me populum, ut audiant sermones meos, et discant timere me omni tempore quo vivunt in terra, doceantque filios suos.
- Et accessistis ad radices montis, qui ardebat usque ad cælum : erantque in eo tenebræ, et nubes, et caligo.
- Locutusque est Dominus ad vos de medio ignis. Vocem verborum ejus audistis, et formam penitus non vidistis.
- Et ostendit vobis pactum suum, quod præcepit ut faceretis, et decem verba, quæ scripsit in duabus tabulis lapideis.
- Mihique mandavit in illo tempore ut docerem vos cæremonias et judicia, quæ facere deberetis in terra, quam possessuri estis.
- Custodite igitur sollicite animas vestras. Non vidistis aliquam similitudinem in die, qua locutus est vobis Dominus in Horeb de medio ignis :
- ne forte decepti faciatis vobis sculptam similitudinem, aut imaginem masculi vel feminæ :
- similitudinem omnium jumentorum, quæ sunt super terram, vel avium sub cælo volantium,
- atque reptilium, quæ moventur in terra, sive piscium qui sub terra morantur in aquis :
- ne forte elevatis oculis ad cælum, videas solem et lunam, et omnia astra cæli, et errore deceptus adores ea, et colas quæ creavit Dominus Deus tuus in ministerium cunctis gentibus, quæ sub cælo sunt.
- Vos autem tulit Dominus, et eduxit de fornace ferrea Ægypti, ut haberet populum hæreditarium, sicut est in præsenti die.
- Iratusque est Dominus contra me propter sermones vestros, et juravit ut non transirem Jordanem, nec ingrederer terram optimam, quam daturus est vobis.
- Ecce morior in hac humo ; non transibo Jordanem : vos transibitis, et possidebitis terram egregiam.
- Cave nequando obliviscaris pacti Domini Dei tui, quod pepigit tecum, et facias tibi sculptam similitudinem eorum, quæ fieri Dominus prohibuit :
- quia Dominus Deus tuus ignis consumens est, Deus æmulator.
- Si genueritis filios ac nepotes, et morati fueritis in terra, deceptique feceritis vobis aliquam similitudinem, patrantes malum coram Domino Deo vestro, ut eum ad iracundiam provocetis :
- testes invoco hodie cælum et terram, cito perituros vos esse de terra, quam transito Jordane possessuri estis : non habitabitis in ea longo tempore, sed delebit vos Dominus,
- atque disperget in omnes gentes, et remanebitis pauci in nationibus, ad quas vos ducturus est Dominus.
- Ibique servietis diis, qui hominum manu fabricati sunt, ligno et lapidi qui non vident, nec audiunt, nec comedunt, nec odorantur.
- Cumque quæsieris ibi Dominum Deum tuum, invenies eum : si tamen toto corde quæsieris, et tota tribulatione animæ tuæ.
- Postquam te invenerint omnia quæ prædicta sunt, novissimo tempore reverteris ad Dominum Deum tuum, et audies vocem ejus.
- Quia Deus misericors Dominus Deus tuus est : non dimittet te, nec omnino delebit, neque obliviscetur pacti, in quo juravit patribus tuis.
- Interroga de diebus antiquis, qui fuerunt ante te ex die quo creavit Deus hominem super terram, a summo cælo usque ad summum ejus, si facta est aliquando hujuscemodi res, aut umquam cognitum est,
- ut audiret populus vocem Dei loquentis de medio ignis, sicut tu audisti, et vixisti :
- si fecit Deus ut ingrederetur, et tolleret sibi gentem de medio nationum, per tentationes, signa atque portenta, per pugnam et robustam manum, extentumque brachium, et horribiles visiones juxta omnia quæ fecit pro vobis Dominus Deus vester in Ægypto, videntibus oculis tuis :
- ut scires quoniam Dominus ipse est Deus, et non est alius præter eum.
- De cælo te fecit audire vocem suam, ut doceret te, et in terra ostendit tibi ignem suum maximum, et audisti verba illius de medio ignis :
- quia dilexit patres tuos, et elegit semen eorum post eos. Eduxitque te præcedens in virtute sua magna ex Ægypto,
- ut deleret nationes maximas et fortiores te in introitu tuo : et introduceret te, daretque tibi terram earum in possessionem, sicut cernis in præsenti die.
- Scito ergo hodie, et cogitato in corde tuo quod Dominus ipse sit Deus in cælo sursum, et in terra deorsum, et non sit alius.
- Custodi præcepta ejus atque mandata, quæ ego præcipio tibi : ut bene sit tibi, et filiis tuis post te, et permaneas multo tempore super terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus daturus est tibi.
- Tunc separavit Moyses tres civitates trans Jordanem ad orientalem plagam,
- ut confugiat ad eas qui occiderit nolens proximum suum, nec sibi fuerit inimicus ante unum et alterum diem, et ad harum aliquam urbium possit evadere :
- Bosor in solitudine, quæ sita est in terra campestri de tribu Ruben : et Ramoth in Galaad, quæ est in tribu Gad : et Golan in Basan, quæ est in tribu Manasse.
- Ista est lex, quam proposuit Moyses coram filiis Israël :
- et hæc testimonia et cæremoniæ atque judicia, quæ locutus est ad filios Israël, quando egressi sunt de Ægypto,
- trans Jordanem in valle contra fanum Phogor in terra Sehon regis Amorrhæi, qui habitavit in Hesebon, quem percussit Moyses. Filii quoque Israël egressi ex Ægypto
- possederunt terram ejus, et terram Og regis Basan, duorum regum Amorrhæorum, qui erant trans Jordanem ad solis ortum :
- ab Aroër, quæ sita est super ripam torrentis Arnon, usque ad montem Sion, qui est et Hermon,
- omnem planitiem trans Jordanem ad orientalem plagam, usque ad mare solitudinis, et usque ad radices montis Phasga.

| Deuteronomy 4 Text (KJV)
|
- Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.
- Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
- Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baal-peor: for all the men that followed Baal-peor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you.
- But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.
- Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.
- Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
- For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?
- And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
- Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;
- Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.
- And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.
- And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice.
- And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.
- And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.
- Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
- Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
- The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
- The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
- And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
- But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.
- Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance:
- But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.
- Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee.
- For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
- When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger:
- I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
- And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.
- And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
- But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
- When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
- (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
- For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?
- Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
- Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
- Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him.
- Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.
- And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;
- To drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.
- Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
- Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.
- Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;
- That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbour unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:
- Namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.
- And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
- These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt,
- On this side Jordan, in the valley over against Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were come forth out of Egypt:
- And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;
- From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon,
- And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
