+ <book name='Deuteronomy' permalink='deuteronomy' id='5'>
2
+ <chapter no='1'>
3
+ <verse no='1'>These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.</verse>
4
+ <verse no='2'>(There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)</verse>
5
+ <verse no='3'>And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;</verse>
6
+ <verse no='4'>After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:</verse>
7
+ <verse no='5'>On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,</verse>
8
+ <verse no='6'>The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:</verse>
9
+ <verse no='7'>Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.</verse>
10
+ <verse no='8'>Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.</verse>
11
+ <verse no='9'>And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:</verse>
12
+ <verse no='10'>The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.</verse>
13
+ <verse no='11'>(The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)</verse>
14
+ <verse no='12'>How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?</verse>
15
+ <verse no='13'>Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.</verse>
16
+ <verse no='14'>And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.</verse>
17
+ <verse no='15'>So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.</verse>
18
+ <verse no='16'>And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.</verse>
19
+ <verse no='17'>Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.</verse>
20
+ <verse no='18'>And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.</verse>
21
+ <verse no='19'>And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.</verse>
22
+ <verse no='20'>And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us.</verse>
23
+ <verse no='21'>Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.</verse>
24
+ <verse no='22'>And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.</verse>
25
+ <verse no='23'>And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:</verse>
26
+ <verse no='24'>And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.</verse>
27
+ <verse no='25'>And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God doth give us.</verse>
28
+ <verse no='26'>Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:</verse>
29
+ <verse no='27'>And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.</verse>
30
+ <verse no='28'>Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.</verse>
31
+ <verse no='29'>Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.</verse>
32
+ <verse no='30'>The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;</verse>
33
+ <verse no='31'>And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.</verse>
34
+ <verse no='32'>Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,</verse>
35
+ <verse no='33'>Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.</verse>
36
+ <verse no='34'>And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,</verse>
37
+ <verse no='35'>Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers.</verse>
38
+ <verse no='36'>Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.</verse>
39
+ <verse no='37'>Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.</verse>
40
+ <verse no='38'>But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.</verse>
41
+ <verse no='39'>Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.</verse>
42
+ <verse no='40'>But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.</verse>
43
+ <verse no='41'>Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.</verse>
44
+ <verse no='42'>And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them. Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.</verse>
45
+ <verse no='43'>So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill.</verse>
46
+ <verse no='44'>And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.</verse>
47
+ <verse no='45'>And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.</verse>
48
+ <verse no='46'>So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.</verse>
49
+ </chapter>
50
+ <chapter no='2'>
51
+ <verse no='1'>Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days.</verse>
52
+ <verse no='2'>And the LORD spake unto me, saying,</verse>
53
+ <verse no='3'>Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.</verse>
54
+ <verse no='4'>And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore:</verse>
55
+ <verse no='5'>Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.</verse>
56
+ <verse no='6'>Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.</verse>
57
+ <verse no='7'>For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.</verse>
58
+ <verse no='8'>And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.</verse>
59
+ <verse no='9'>And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.</verse>
60
+ <verse no='10'>The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;</verse>
61
+ <verse no='11'>Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims.</verse>
62
+ <verse no='12'>The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the LORD gave unto them.</verse>
63
+ <verse no='13'>Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.</verse>
64
+ <verse no='14'>And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them.</verse>
65
+ <verse no='15'>For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.</verse>
66
+ <verse no='16'>So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,</verse>
67
+ <verse no='17'>That the LORD spake unto me, saying,</verse>
68
+ <verse no='18'>Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:</verse>
69
+ <verse no='19'>And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.</verse>
70
+ <verse no='20'>(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;</verse>
71
+ <verse no='21'>A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:</verse>
72
+ <verse no='22'>As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:</verse>
73
+ <verse no='23'>And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)</verse>
74
+ <verse no='24'>Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.</verse>
75
+ <verse no='25'>This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.</verse>
76
+ <verse no='26'>And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,</verse>
77
+ <verse no='27'>Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.</verse>
78
+ <verse no='28'>Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;</verse>
79
+ <verse no='29'>(As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.</verse>
80
+ <verse no='30'>But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.</verse>
81
+ <verse no='31'>And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.</verse>
82
+ <verse no='32'>Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.</verse>
83
+ <verse no='33'>And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.</verse>
84
+ <verse no='34'>And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:</verse>
85
+ <verse no='35'>Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.</verse>
86
+ <verse no='36'>From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all unto us:</verse>
87
+ <verse no='37'>Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbad us.</verse>
88
+ </chapter>
89
+ <chapter no='3'>
90
+ <verse no='1'>Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.</verse>
91
+ <verse no='2'>And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.</verse>
92
+ <verse no='3'>So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.</verse>
93
+ <verse no='4'>And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.</verse>
94
+ <verse no='5'>All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many.</verse>
95
+ <verse no='6'>And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.</verse>
96
+ <verse no='7'>But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.</verse>
97
+ <verse no='8'>And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon;</verse>
98
+ <verse no='9'>(Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir;)</verse>
99
+ <verse no='10'>All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.</verse>
100
+ <verse no='11'>For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.</verse>
101
+ <verse no='12'>And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.</verse>
102
+ <verse no='13'>And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.</verse>
103
+ <verse no='14'>Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own name, Bashanhavothjair, unto this day.</verse>
104
+ <verse no='15'>And I gave Gilead unto Machir.</verse>
105
+ <verse no='16'>And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;</verse>
106
+ <verse no='17'>The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast thereof, from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under Ashdothpisgah eastward.</verse>
107
+ <verse no='18'>And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for the war.</verse>
108
+ <verse no='19'>But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (for I know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have given you;</verse>
109
+ <verse no='20'>Until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and until they also possess the land which the LORD your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given you.</verse>
110
+ <verse no='21'>And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.</verse>
111
+ <verse no='22'>Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you.</verse>
112
+ <verse no='23'>And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,</verse>
113
+ <verse no='24'>O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?</verse>
114
+ <verse no='25'>I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.</verse>
115
+ <verse no='26'>But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter.</verse>
116
+ <verse no='27'>Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.</verse>
117
+ <verse no='28'>But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.</verse>
118
+ <verse no='29'>So we abode in the valley over against Bethpeor.</verse>
119
+ </chapter>
120
+ <chapter no='4'>
121
+ <verse no='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.</verse>
122
+ <verse no='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.</verse>
123
+ <verse no='3'>Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you.</verse>
124
+ <verse no='4'>But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.</verse>
125
+ <verse no='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.</verse>
126
+ <verse no='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.</verse>
127
+ <verse no='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?</verse>
128
+ <verse no='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?</verse>
129
+ <verse no='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;</verse>
130
+ <verse no='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.</verse>
131
+ <verse no='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.</verse>
132
+ <verse no='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.</verse>
133
+ <verse no='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.</verse>
134
+ <verse no='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.</verse>
135

+ <verse no='13'>Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:</verse>
297
+ <verse no='14'>Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.</verse>
298
+ <verse no='15'>So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.</verse>
299
+ <verse no='16'>And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.</verse>
300
+ <verse no='17'>And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.</verse>
301
+ <verse no='18'>And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.</verse>
302
+ <verse no='19'>For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also.</verse>
303
+ <verse no='20'>And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.</verse>
304
+ <verse no='21'>And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.</verse>
305
+ <verse no='22'>And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath.</verse>
306
+ <verse no='23'>Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.</verse>
307
+ <verse no='24'>Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.</verse>
308
+ <verse no='25'>Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.</verse>
309
+ <verse no='26'>I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.</verse>
310
+ <verse no='27'>Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:</verse>
311
+ <verse no='28'>Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.</verse>
312
+ <verse no='29'>Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.</verse>
313
+ </chapter>
314
+ <chapter no='10'>
315
+ <verse no='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.</verse>
316
+ <verse no='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.</verse>
317
+ <verse no='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.</verse>
318
+ <verse no='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.</verse>

320
+ <verse no='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.</verse>
321
+ <verse no='7'>From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.</verse>
322
+ <verse no='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.</verse>
323
+ <verse no='9'>Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him.</verse>
324
+ <verse no='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.</verse>
325
+ <verse no='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.</verse>
326
+ <verse no='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,</verse>
327
+ <verse no='13'>To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?</verse>
328
+ <verse no='14'>Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.</verse>
329
+ <verse no='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.</verse>
330
+ <verse no='16'>Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.</verse>
331

333

+ <verse no='8'>When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.</verse>
939
+ <verse no='9'>For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.</verse>
940
+ <verse no='10'>He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.</verse>
941
+ <verse no='11'>As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:</verse>
942
+ <verse no='12'>So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.</verse>
943
+ <verse no='13'>He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;</verse>
944
+ <verse no='14'>Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.</verse>
945
+ <verse no='15'>But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.</verse>
946
+ <verse no='16'>They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.</verse>
947
+ <verse no='17'>They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.</verse>
948
+ <verse no='18'>Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.</verse>
949
+ <verse no='19'>And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.</verse>
950
+ <verse no='20'>And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.</verse>
951
+ <verse no='21'>They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.</verse>
952
+ <verse no='22'>For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.</verse>
953
+ <verse no='23'>I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.</verse>
954
+ <verse no='24'>They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.</verse>
955
+ <verse no='25'>The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.</verse>
956
+ <verse no='26'>I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:</verse>
957
+ <verse no='27'>Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this.</verse>
958
+ <verse no='28'>For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.</verse>
959
+ <verse no='29'>O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!</verse>
960
+ <verse no='30'>How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?</verse>
961
+ <verse no='31'>For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.</verse>
962
+ <verse no='32'>For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:</verse>
963
+ <verse no='33'>Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.</verse>
964
+ <verse no='34'>Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?</verse>
965
+ <verse no='35'>To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.</verse>
966
+ <verse no='36'>For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.</verse>
967
+ <verse no='37'>And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,</verse>
968
+ <verse no='38'>Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.</verse>
969
+ <verse no='39'>See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.</verse>
970
+ <verse no='40'>For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.</verse>
971
+ <verse no='41'>If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.</verse>
972
+ <verse no='42'>I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.</verse>
973
+ <verse no='43'>Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.</verse>
974
+ <verse no='44'>And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.</verse>
975
+ <verse no='45'>And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:</verse>
976
+ <verse no='46'>And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.</verse>
977
+ <verse no='47'>For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.</verse>
978
+ <verse no='48'>And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,</verse>
979
+ <verse no='49'>Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:</verse>
980
+ <verse no='50'>And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:</verse>
981
+ <verse no='51'>Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of MeribahKadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.</verse>
982
+ <verse no='52'>Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.</verse>

985
+ <verse no='1'>And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.</verse>
986
+ <verse no='2'>And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.</verse>
987
+ <verse no='3'>Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words.</verse>
988
+ <verse no='4'>Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.</verse>
989
+ <verse no='5'>And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.</verse>
990
+ <verse no='6'>Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few.</verse>
991
+ <verse no='7'>And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies.</verse>
992
+ <verse no='8'>And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;</verse>
993
+ <verse no='9'>Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.</verse>
994
+ <verse no='10'>They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.</verse>
995
+ <verse no='11'>Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands; smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.</verse>
996
+ <verse no='12'>And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.</verse>
997
+ <verse no='13'>And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,</verse>

1000
+ <verse no='16'>And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.</verse>
1001
+ <verse no='17'>His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.</verse>
1002
+ <verse no='18'>And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.</verse>
1003
+ <verse no='19'>They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand.</verse>
1004
+ <verse no='20'>And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head.</verse>
1005
+ <verse no='21'>And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel.</verse>
1006
+ <verse no='22'>And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.</verse>
1007
+ <verse no='23'>And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south.</verse>
1008

1017
+ <verse no='2'>And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,</verse>
1018
+ <verse no='3'>And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.</verse>
1019
+ <verse no='4'>And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.</verse>

+ <verse no='5'>So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.</verse>

+ <verse no='6'>And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.</verse>
