Deuteronomy 10
[1] At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like
unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of
wood.
[2] And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables
which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark. [3] And I made an
ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and
went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand.
[4] And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten
commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst
of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me. [5]
And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the
ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD commanded me. [6] And
the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the children of
Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar
his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead. [7] From thence
they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of
rivers of waters.
[8] At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of
the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him,
and to bless in his name, unto this day. [9] Wherefore Levi hath no part
nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according
as the LORD thy God promised him. [10] And I stayed in the mount, according
to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto
me at that time also, and the LORD would not destroy thee.
[11] And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people,
that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers
to give unto them.
[12] And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to
fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to
serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, [13] To
keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee
this day for thy good?
[14] Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's thy God,
the earth also, with all that therein is. [15] Only the LORD had a delight
in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you
above all people, as it is this day. [16] Circumcise therefore the foreskin
of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.
[17] For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God,
a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:
[18] He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth
the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. [19] Love ye therefore the
stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
[20] Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him
shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name. [21] He is thy praise, and he is
thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which
thine eyes have seen. [22] Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore
and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of
heaven for multitude. Deuteronomy 11
[1] Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and
his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway. [2] And know
ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and
which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness,
his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm, [3] And his miracles, and his
acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt,
and unto all his land; [4] And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto
their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea
to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed
them unto this day; [5] And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until
ye came into this place;
[6] And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of
Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their
households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their
possession, in the midst of all Israel: [7] But your eyes have seen all the
great acts of the LORD which he did. [8] Therefore shall ye keep all the
commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in
and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;
[9] And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD sware
unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth
with milk and honey.
[10] For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land
of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and
wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs: [11] But the land,
whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh
water of the rain of heaven: [12] A land which the LORD thy God careth for:
the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the
year even unto the end of the year.
[13] And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my
commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and
to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, [14] That I will
give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the
latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine
oil.
[15] And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest
eat and be full.
[16] Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn
aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; [17] And then the LORD's
wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no
rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly
from off the good land which the LORD giveth you. [18] Therefore shall ye
lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a
sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
[19] And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou
sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest
down, and when thou risest up.
[20] And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon
thy gates:
[21] That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in
the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days
of heaven upon the earth.
[22] For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command
you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to
cleave unto him;
[23] Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye
shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves. [24] Every
place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the
wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the
uttermost sea shall your coast be. [25] There shall no man be able to stand
before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread
of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto
you. [26] Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; [27] A
blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command
you this day:
[28] And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your
God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go
after other gods, which ye have not known. [29] And it shall come to pass,
when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest
to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the
curse upon mount Ebal. [30] Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the
way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in
the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh? [31] For ye
shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God
giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein. [32] And ye shall
observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this
day.

Deuteronomy 12
[1] These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in
the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all
the days that ye live upon the earth. [2] Ye shall utterly destroy all the
places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon
the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:
[3] And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn
their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their
gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place. [4] Ye shall not do
so unto the LORD your God. [5] But unto the place which the LORD your God
shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his
habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:
[6] And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices,
and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your
freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:
[7] And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice
in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the LORD
thy God hath blessed thee.
[8] Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every
man whatsoever is right in his own eyes. [9] For ye are not as yet come to
the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth you.
[10] But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your
God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your
enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety; [11] Then there shall be a
place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell
there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings,
and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and
all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD: [12] And ye shall rejoice
before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your
menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your
gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.
[13] Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every
place that thou seest:
[14] But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes,
there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all
that I command thee.
[15] Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates,
whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the LORD
thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat
thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart. [16] Only ye shall not eat
the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.
[17] Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy
wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor
any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave
offering of thine hand:
[18] But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the
LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy
manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates:
and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest
thine hands unto.
[19] Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou
livest upon the earth.
[20] When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised
thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat
flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after. [21] If
the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too
far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the
LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy
gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after. [22] Even as the roebuck and the
hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat
of them alike. [23] Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood
is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh. [24] Thou
shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water. [25] Thou
shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children
after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the
LORD.
[26] Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take,
and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose: [27] And thou shalt
offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the
LORD thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the
altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh. [28] Observe and
hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee,
and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is
good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God. [29] When the LORD thy God
shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess
them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;
[30] Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after
that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after
their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I
do likewise.
[31] Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to
the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their
sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods. [32]
What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add
thereto, nor diminish from it.
