Deuteronomy 4
[1] 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. [2] 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.
[3] 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.
[4] But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of
you this day.
[5] 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.
[6] 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.
[7] 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? [8] 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? [9] 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; [10] 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. [11] 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.
[12] 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. [13] 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. [14] 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.
[15] 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:
[16] Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the
similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female, [17] The likeness
of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that
flieth in the air, [18] The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the
ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
[19] 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. [20] 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.
[21] 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: [22] But I
must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and
possess that good land.
[23] 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. [24] For
the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. [25] 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: [26] 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. [27] 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. [28] And there ye shall serve
gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear,
nor eat, nor smell. [29] 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. [30] 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;
[31] (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.
[32] 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? [33] Did ever people hear the voice
of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
[34] 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? [35] Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD
he is God; there is none else beside him. [36] 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. [37] 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; [38] 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.
[39] 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.
[40] 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. [41] Then Moses severed three cities on
this side Jordan toward the sunrising;
[42] 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:
[43] 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.
[44] And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
[45] 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, [46] 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:
[47] 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;
[48] From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount
Sion, which is Hermon,
[49] And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of
the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.

Deuteronomy 5
[1] And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the
statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may
learn them, and keep, and do them.
[2] The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. [3] The LORD made
not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us
here alive this day. [4] The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount
out of the midst of the fire,
[5] (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to shew you the work of
the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into
the mount;) saying,
[6] I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt,
from the house of bondage.
[7] Thou shalt have none other gods before me. [8] Thou shalt not make thee
any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or
that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
[9] Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the
LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon
the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
[10] And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my
commandments.
[11] Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD
will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. [12] Keep the
sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.
[13] Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: [14] But the seventh
day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work,
thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy
maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy
stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant
may rest as well as thou. [15] And remember that thou wast a servant in the
land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a
mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God
commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
[16] Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded
thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in
the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. [17] Thou shalt not kill.
[18] Neither shalt thou commit adultery. [19] Neither shalt thou steal.
[20] Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour. [21]
Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet
thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant,
his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's. [22] These words
the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the
fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he
added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them
unto me.
[23] And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the
darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me,
even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders; [24] And ye said,
Behold, the LORD our God hath shewed us his glory and his greatness, and we
have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day
that God doth talk with man, and he liveth. [25] Now therefore why should
we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the
LORD our God any more, then we shall die. [26] For who is there of all
flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the
midst of the fire, as we have, and lived? [27] Go thou near, and hear all
that the LORD our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the LORD
our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.
[28] And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and
the LORD 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 that they have
spoken.
[29] O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and
keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with
their children for ever!
[30] Go say to them, Get you into your tents again. [31] But as for thee,
stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and
the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may
do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
[32] Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded
you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. [33] Ye
shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that
ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your
days in the land which ye shall possess.

Deuteronomy 6
[1] Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which
the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land
whither ye go to possess it:
[2] That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and
his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's
son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. [3] Hear
therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee,
and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath
promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey. [4] Hear, O
Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: [5] And thou shalt love the LORD thy
God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
[6] And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine
heart: [7] And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and
shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest
by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. [8] And thou
shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets
between thine eyes.
[9] And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy
gates. [10] And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee
into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to
Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not, [11]
And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells
digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou
plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full; [12] Then beware
lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of
Egypt, from the house of bondage. [13] Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God,
and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.
[14] Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are
round about you;
[15] (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of
the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the
face of the earth.
[16] Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
[17] Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and
his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee. [18] And
thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that
it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good
land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, [19] To cast out all thine
enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.
[20] And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the
testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God
hath commanded you?
[21] Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt;
and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand: [22] And the LORD
shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and
upon all his household, before our eyes: [23] And he brought us out from
thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto
our fathers. [24] And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to
fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us
alive, as it is at this day.
[25] And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these
commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.
