20 ¶ (A)And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, and go [a]armed before the Lord to war:
21 And will go every one of you in harness over Jordan before the Lord, until he have cast out his [b]enemies from his sight:
22 And until the land be subdued before the Lord, then ye shall return and be innocent toward the Lord, and toward Israel: and this land shall be your possession [c]before the Lord.
23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord, and be sure, that your sin [d]will find you out.
24 Build you then cities for your children, and folds for your sheep, and do that ye have spoken.
25 Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth:
26 Our children, our wives, our sheep, and all our cattle shall remain there in the cities of Gilead,
27 But (B)thy servants will go every one armed to war before the Lord for to fight, as my lord saith.
28 So concerning them, Moses [e]commanded Eleazar the Priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel.
29 And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will go with you over Jordan, all armed to fight before the Lord, then when the land is subdued before you, ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:
30 But if they will not go over with you armed, then they shall have their possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
31 And the children of Gad, and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the [f]Lord hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.
32 We will go armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan: that the possession of our inheritance may be to us on this side Jordan.
33 (C)So Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the [g]Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land with the cities thereof and coasts, even the cities of the country round about.
34 ¶ Then the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah,
36 And Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran, defensed cities: also sheepfolds.
37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
38 And Nebo, and Baal Meon, and turned their names, and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they built.
39 And the children (D)of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and put out the Amorites that dwelt therein.
40 Then Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh, and he dwelt therein.
41 (E)And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them [h]Havoth Jair.
42 Also Nobah went and took Kenath, with the villages thereof, and called it Nobah after his own name.
33 8 Two and forty journeys of Israel are numbered. 52 They are commanded to kill the Canaanites.
1 These are the [i]journeys of the children of Israel, which went out of the land of Egypt, according to their bands under the hand of Moses and Aaron.
2 And Moses wrote their going out by their journeys, according to the commandment of the Lord: so these are the journeys of their going out.
3 Now they (F)departed from Rameses the first month, even the fifteenth day of the first month, on the morrow after the Passover: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.
4 (For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the Lord had smitten among them: upon their [j]gods also the Lord did execution.)
5 And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.
6 And they departed from (G)Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness.
7 And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto [k]Pi Hahiroth, which is before Baal Zephon, and pitched before Migdol.
8 And they departed from before Hahiroth, and (H)went through the midst of the Sea into the wilderness, and went three days’ journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.
9 And they removed from Marah, and came unto (I)Elim, and in Elim were twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees, and they pitched there.
10 And they removed from Elim, and camped by the red sea.
11 And they removed from the red Sea, and lay in the (J)wilderness of Sin.
12 And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and set up their tents in Dophkah.
13 And they departed from Dophkah, and lay in Alush.
14 And they removed from Alush, and lay in (K)Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink.
15 And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the (L)wilderness of Sinai.
16 And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched in (M)Kibroth Hattaavah.
17 And they departed from Kibroth Hattaavah, and lay at (N)Hazeroth.
18 And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.
19 And they departed from (O)Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmon Perez.
20 And they departed from Rimmon Perez, and pitched in Libnah.
21 And they removed from Libnah, and pitched in Rissah.
22 And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.
23 And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shepher.
24 And they removed from mount Shepher, and lay in Haradah.
25 And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.
26 And they removed from Makheloth, and lay in Tahath.
27 And they departed from Tahath, and pitched in Terah.
28 And they removed from Terah, and pitched in Mithkah.
29 And they went from Mithkah, and pitched in Hashmonah.
30 And they departed from Hashmonah, and lay in Moseroth.
31 And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Bene Jaakan.
32 And they removed from Bene Jaakan, and lay in Hor Hagidgad.
33 And they went from Hor Hagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.
34 And they removed from Jotbathah, and lay in Abronah.
35 And they departed from Abronah, and lay in Ezion Geber.
36 And they removed from Ezion Geber, and pitched in the (P)wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.
37 And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.
38 ((Q)And Aaron the Priest went up into mount Hor, at the commandment of the Lord and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the [l]fifth month.
39 And Aaron was an hundred and three and twenty years old, when he died in mount Hor.)
40 And (R)King Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the South of the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.
41 And they departed from mount (S)Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.
42 And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.
43 And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.
44 (T)And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ije Abarim, in the borders of Moab.
45 And they departed from Ijim, and pitched in Dibon Gad.
46 And they removed from Dibon Gad, and lay in Almon Diblathaim.
47 And they removed from Almon Diblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim before Nebo.
48 And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the [m]plain of Moab by Jordan toward Jericho.
49 And they pitched by Jordan, from Beth Jesimoth unto (U)Abel Shittim, in the plain of Moab.
50 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses in the plain of Moab, by Jordan toward Jericho, saying,
51 ¶ Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, (V)When ye are come over Jordan to enter into the land of Canaan,
52 Ye shall then drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you, and destroy all their [n]pictures, and break asunder all their images of metal, and pluck down all their high places,
53 And ye shall possess the land and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.
54 And ye shall inherit the land by lot, according to your families: (W)to the more ye shall give more inheritance, and to the fewer the less inheritance. Where the lot shall fall to any man, that shall be his: according to the tribes of your fathers shall ye inherit.
55 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, then those which ye let remain of them, shall be (X)[o]pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
56 Moreover, it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.
34 3 The coasts and borders of the land of Canaan. 17 Certain men are assigned to divide the land.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan, this is the [p]land that shall fall unto your inheritance: that is, the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof.
3 (Y)And your South quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin to the borders of Edom: so that your South quarter shall be from the salt Sea coast Eastward
4 And the border shall compass you from the South to [q]Maaleh Akrabbim, and reach to Zin, and go out from the South to Kadesh Barnea: thence it shall stretch to Hazar Addar, and go along to Azmon.
5 And the border shall compass from Azmon unto the [r]river of Egypt, and shall go out to the sea.
6 And your West quarter shall be [s]the great sea: even that border shall be your West coast.
7 And this shall be your North quarter, ye shall mark out your border from the great sea unto mount [t]Hor.
8 From mount Hor ye shall point out till it come unto Hamath, and the end of the coast shall be at Zedad.
9 And the coast shall reach out to Ziphron, and go out at Hazar Enan, this shall be your North quarter.
10 And ye shall mark out your East quarter from Hazar Enan to Shepham.
11 And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, and from the East side of Ain: and the same border shall descend and go out at the side of the sea of [u]Chinnereth Eastward.
12 Also that border shall go down to Jordan, and leave at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
13 ¶ Then Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the Lord commanded to give unto nine tribes, and half the tribe.
14 (Z)For the tribe of the children of Reuben, according to the households of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad, according to their fathers’ households, and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance.
15 Two tribes and an half tribe have received their inheritance on this side of Jordan toward Jericho full East.
16 ¶ Again the Lord spake to Moses, saying,
17 These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: (AA)Eleazar the Priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
18 And ye shall take also a [v]prince of every tribe to divide the land.
19 The names also of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
20 And of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
22 Also of the tribe of the sons of Dan, the prince Bukki, the son of Jogli.
23 Of the sons of Joseph: of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, the prince Hanniel the son of Ephod.
24 And of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, the prince Kemuel, the son of Shiphtan.
25 Of the tribe also of the sons of Zebulun, the prince Elizaphan, the son of Parnach.
26 So of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, the prince Paltiel, the son of Azzan.
27 Of the tribe also of the sons of Asher, the prince Ahihud, the son of Shelomi.
28 And of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, the prince Pedahel, the son of Ammihud.
29 These are they, whom the Lord commanded to [w]divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel, in the land of Canaan.
35 2 Unto the Levites are given cities and suburbs. 11 The cities of refuge. 16 The law of murder. 30 For one man’s witness shall no man be condemned.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses in the plain of Moab by Jordan, toward Jericho, saying,
2 (AB)Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the [x]Levites of the inheritance of their possession, [y]cities to dwell in: ye shall give also unto the Levites the suburbs of the cities round about them.
3 So they shall have the cities to dwell in, and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their substance, and for all their beasts.
4 And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, from the wall of the city outward shall be a thousand cubits round about.
5 And ye shall measure without the city of the East side, [z]two thousand cubits: and of the South side, two thousand cubits: and of the West side, two thousand cubits: and of the North side, two thousand cubits: and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be the measure of the suburbs of their cities.
6 And of the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites, (AC)there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint, that he which killeth, may flee thither: and to them ye shall add two and forty cities more.
7 All the cities which ye shall give to the Levites, shall be eight and forty cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.
8 And concerning the cities which ye shall give, of the possession of the children of Israel: of many ye shall take more, and of few ye shall take less: everyone shall give of his cities unto the Levites, according to his inheritance, which he inheriteth.
9 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, (AD)When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan,
11 Ye shall appoint you cities, to be cities of refuge for you, that the slayer, which slayeth any person unawares, may flee thither.
12 And these cities shall be for you a refuge from thy [aa]avenger, that he which killeth, die not, until he stand before the Congregation in judgment.
13 And of the cities which ye shall give, six cities shall ye have for refuge.
14 Ye shall appoint three [ab]on this side Jordan, and ye shall appoint three cities in the land of (AE)Canaan which shall be cities of refuge.
15 These six cities shall be a refuge for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for him that dwelleth [ac]among you, that everyone which killeth any person unawares, may flee thither.
16 (AF)And if one [ad]smite another with an instrument of iron that he die, he is a murderer, and the murderer shall die the death.
17 Also if he smite him by casting a [ae]stone, wherewith he may be slain, and he die, he is a murderer, and the murderer shall die the death.
18 Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may be slain, if he die, he is a murderer, and the murderer shall die the death.
19 The revenger of the blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
20 But if he thrust him (AG)of hate, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die,
21 Or smite him through enmity with his hand, that he die, he that smote him shall die the death: for he is a murderer: the revenger of the blood shall slay the murderer when he meeteth him.
22 But if he pushed him [af]unadvisedly, and (AH)not of hatred, or cast upon him [ag]anything, without laying of wait,
23 Or any stone (whereby he might be slain), and saw him not, or caused it to fall upon him, and he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought him any harm,
24 Then the Congregation shall judge between the slayer and the [ah]avenger of blood according to these laws.
25 And the Congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the Congregation shall restore him unto the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide there unto the death of the [ai]high Priest, which is anointed with the holy oil.
26 But if the slayer come without the borders of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled,
27 And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood slay the [aj]murderer, he shall be guiltless,
28 Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge, until the death of the high Priest: and after the death of the high Priest, the slayer shall return unto the land of his possession.
29 So these things shall be a [ak]law of judgment unto you, throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
30 Whosoever killeth any person, the Judge shall slay the murderer, through (AI)witnesses: but (AJ)one witness shall not testify against a person to cause him to die.
31 Moreover ye shall take no recompense for the life of the murderer, which is [al]worthy to die: but he shall be put to death.
32 Also ye shall take no recompense for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again, and dwell in the land, before the death of the high Priest.
33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye shall dwell: for [am]blood defileth the land: and the land cannot be [an]cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
34 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, for I dwell in the midst thereof: For I the Lord dwell among the children of Israel.
36 6 An order for the marriage of the daughters of Zelophehad.
1 Then [ao]the chief fathers of the family of the sons of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel,
2 And said, (AK)The Lord commanded [ap]my lord to give the land to inherit by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the Lord, to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
3 If they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereof they shall be: so shall it be taken away from the lot of our inheritance.
4 Also when the [aq]Jubilee of the children of Israel cometh, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereof they shall be: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
5 Then Moses commanded the children of Israel, according to the word of the Lord, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph have said [ar]well.
6 This is the thing that the Lord hath commanded, concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, They shall be wives, to whom they think best, only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry:
7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe, for every one of the children of Israel shall join himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
8 And every daughter that possesseth any [as]inheritance of the tribes of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father: that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of their fathers.
9 Neither shall the inheritance go about from tribe to tribe: but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall stick to his own inheritance.
10 As the Lord commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad.
11 For (AL)Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah the daughters of Zelophehad were married unto their father’s brother’s sons,
12 They were wives to certain of the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph: so their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
13 These are the [at]commandments and laws which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, unto the children of Israel in the plain of Moab, by Jordan toward Jericho.
The Fifth Book of Moses, called [au]Deuteronomy
1 2 A brief rehearsal of things done before, from Horeb unto Kadesh Barnea. 32 Moses reproveth the people for their incredulity. 44 The Israelites are overcome by the Amorites because they fought against the commandment of the Lord.
1 These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel, on [av]this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain, [aw]over against the red sea, between Paran and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 There are eleven days’ journey from [ax]Horeb unto Kadesh Barnea, by the way of mount Seir.
3 And it came to pass in the first day of the eleventh month, in the fortieth year that Moses spake unto the children of Israel according unto all that the Lord hath given him in commandment unto them.
4 After that he had slain [ay](AM)Sihon the King of the Amorites which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, which dwelt at Ashtaroth in Edrei.
5 On this side Jordan at the land of Moab [az]began Moses to declare this law, saying,
6 The Lord our God spake unto us in [ba]Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount,
7 Turn you and depart, and go unto the mountain of the Amorites, and unto all places near thereunto in the plain, in the mountain, or in the valley: both Southward, and to the Sea side to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon: even unto the great river, the river [bb]Perah.
8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and (AN)possess that land which the Lord sware, unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and unto their seed after them.
9 ¶ And I spake [bc]unto you the same time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
10 The Lord your God hath [bd]multiplied you: and behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven in number:
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,)
12 How can I alone [be]bear your cumbrance and your charge, and your strife?
13 Bring you men of wisdom and of understanding, and [bf]known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you:
14 Then he answered me and said, the thing is good that thou hast commanded us to do.
15 So I took the chief of your tribes, [bg]wise and known men, and made them rulers over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifty, and captains over ten, and officers among your tribes.
16 And I charged your Judges that same time, saying, Hear the controversies between your brethren, and (AO)judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
17 Ye shall have no respect of person in judgment, (AP)but shall hear the small as well as the great: ye shall not fear the face of man: for the judgment is [bh]God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring unto me, and I will hear it.
18 Also I commanded you the same time all the things which ye should do.
19 ¶ Then we departed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness (as ye have seen) by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded us: and we came to Kadesh Barnea.
20 And [bi]I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the Lord our God doth give unto us.
21 Behold, the Lord thy God hath laid the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath said unto thee: fear not, neither be discouraged.
22 ¶ [bj]Then ye came unto me everyone, and said, We will send men before us, to search us out the land, and to bring us word again, what way we must go up by, and unto what cities we shall come.
23 So the saying pleased me well, and I took twelve men of you, of every tribe one.
24 (AQ)Who departed, and went up into the mountain, and came unto the [bk]river Eshcol, and searched out the land.
25 And took of the fruit of the land in their hand, and brought it unto us, and brought us word again, and [bl]said, It is a good land, which the Lord our God doth give us.
26 Notwithstanding, ye would not go up, but were disobedient unto the commandment of the Lord your God,
27 And murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord [bm]hated us, therefore hath he brought us out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, and to destroy us.
28 Whither shall we go up, our [bn]brethren have discouraged our hearts, saying, The people [are] greater, and taller than we: the cities are great and walled up to heaven: and moreover we have seen the sons of the (AR)Anakims there.
29 But I said unto you, Dread not, nor be afraid of them.
30 The Lord your God, [bo]who goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did unto you in Egypt before your eyes,
31 And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how the Lord thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way which ye have gone, until ye came unto this place.
32 Yet for all this ye did not believe the Lord your God,
33 (AS)Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, that ye might see what way to go, and in a cloud by day.
34 Then the Lord heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
35 (AT)Surely there shall not one of these men of this forward generation, see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
36 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh: he shall see it, (AU)and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath constantly followed the Lord.
37 (AV)Also the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, saying, (AW)Thou also shalt not go in thither,
38 But Joshua the son of Nun which standeth [bp]before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39 Moreover, your [bq]children, which ye said should be a prey, and your sons, 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.
40 But as for you, turn back, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the red Sea.
41 Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the Lord, [br]we will go up, and fight, according to all that the Lord our God hath commanded us: and ye armed you every man to the war, and were ready to go up into the mountain.
42 But the Lord said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight, (for I am [bs]not among you) lest ye fall before your enemies.
43 And when I told you, ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord, and were presumptuous, and went up into the mountain.
44 Then the Amorites which dwelt in that mountain came out against you, and chased you (as bees used to do) and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.
45 And when ye came again, ye wept before the Lord, but the Lord would not [bt]hear your voice, nor incline his ears unto you.
46 So ye abode in Kadesh a long time, according to the time that ye had remained before.
2 4 Israel is forbidden to fight with the Edomites, 9 Moabites, 19 and Ammonites. 23 Sihon King of Heshbon.
1 Then [bu]we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness, by the way of the red Sea, as the Lord spake unto me: and were compassed mount Seir [a] [bv]long time.
2 And the Lord spake unto me, saying,
3 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you Northward.
4 And warn thou the people, saying, Ye shall go through the [bw]coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir, and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed therefore.
5 Ye shall not provoke them: for I will not give you of their land so much as a foot breadth, (AX)because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.
6 Ye shall buy meat of them for money to eat, and ye shall also procure water of them for money to drink.
7 For the Lord thy God hath [bx]blessed thee in all the works of thine hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness, and the Lord thy God hath been with thee this forty years, and thou hast lacked nothing.
8 And when we were departed from our brethren the children of Esau which dwelt in Seir: through the way of the [by]plain, from Elath, and from Ezion Geber, we turned and went by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
9 Then the Lord said unto me, Thou shalt not [bz]vex Moab, neither provoke them to battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession, because I have given Ar unto the children [ca]of Lot for a possession.
10 The [cb]Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great and many, and tall, as the Anakims.
11 They also were taken for giants as the Anakims: whom the Moabites call Emims.
12 The (AY)Horites also dwelt in Seir before time, whom the children of Esau chased out and destroyed them before them, and dwelt in their stead: as Israel shall do unto the land of his possession, which the Lord hath given them.
13 Now rise up, said I, and get you over the river (AZ)Zered: and we went over the river Zered.
14 The [cc]space also wherein we came from Kadesh Barnea, until we were come over the river Zered, was eight and thirty years, until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the Lord sware unto them.
15 For indeed the [cd]hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from among the host, till they were consumed.
16 ¶ So when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people:
17 Then the Lord spake unto me, saying,
18 Thou shalt go through Ar the coast of Moab this day:
19 And thou shalt come near over against the children of Ammon: but shalt not lay siege unto them, nor move war against them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession: for I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.
20 That also was taken for a land [ce]of giants: for giants dwelt therein afore time, whom the Ammonites called Zamzummims:
21 A people that was great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims: but the Lord destroyed them before them, and they succeeded them in their inheritance, and dwelt in their stead:
22 As he did to the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites before them, and they possessed them, and dwelt in their stead unto this day.
23 And the Avim which dwelt in Hazarim even unto [cf]Azzah, the Caphtorims which came out of Caphtor destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.
24 ¶ Rise up therefore, said the Lord: take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon, the [cg]Amorite, King of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and provoke him to battle.
25 This day will I [ch]begin to send thy fear and thy dread, upon all people under the whole heaven, which shall hear thy fame, and shall tremble and quake before thee.
26 Then I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon King of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying,
27 ¶ (BA)Let me pass through thy land: I will go by the highway: I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.
28 Thou shalt sell me meat for money, for to eat, and shalt give me water for money for to drink: only I will go through on my foot,
29 (As the [ci]children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me) until I be come over Jordan, into the land which the Lord our God giveth us.
30 But Sihon the King of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the Lord thy God had [cj]hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, because he would deliver him into thine hand, as appeareth this day.
31 And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess and inherit his land.
32 (BB)Then came out Sihon to meet us, himself with all his people to fight at Jahaz.
33 But the Lord our God delivered him [ck]into our power, and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
34 And we took all his cities the same time, and destroyed every city, men, and [cl]women, and children: we let nothing remain.
35 Only the cattle we took to ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
36 From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is upon the river, even unto Gilead: there was not one city that escaped us: for the Lord our God delivered up all [cm]before us.
37 Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the [cn]river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the Lord our God forbade us.
3 3 Og King of Bashan is slain. 11 The bigness of his bed. 18 The Reubenites and Gadites are commanded to go over Jordan armed before their brethren. 21 Joshua is made captain. 27 Moses is permitted to see the land, but not to enter, albeit he desired it.
1 Then we turned, and went up by the way of Bashan: (BC)and Og King of Bashan [co]came out against us, he and all his people to fight at Edrei.
2 And the Lord said unto me, Fear him not, for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land into thine hand, and thou shalt do unto him as thou diddest unto (BD)Sihon King of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
3 So the Lord our God delivered also unto our hand, (BE)Og the King of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him, until none was left him alive.
4 And we took all his cities the same time, neither was there a city which we took not from them, even three score cities, and all the country of Argob, even the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
5 All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates and bars, beside [cp]unwalled towns a great many.
6 And we overthrew them, as we did unto Sihon King of Heshbon, destroying every city, with men, [cq]women, and children.
7 But all the cattle and the spoil of the cities we took for ourselves.
8 Thus we took at that time out of the hand of two Kings of the Amorites, the land that was on this side Jordan from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon:
9 (Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion, but the Amorites call it Senir)
10 All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan unto Salcah, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
11 For only Og King of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Giants, [cr]whose bed was a bed of iron: is it not at Rabbath among the children of Ammon? the length thereof is nine cubits, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
12 And this land which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, (BF)and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and Gadites.
13 And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh: even all the country of Argob with all Bashan, which is called, The land of giants.
14 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob, unto the coasts of Geshuri, and of Maachathi: and called them after his own name, Bashan, (BG)Havoth Jair unto [cs]this day.
15 And I gave part of Gilead unto Machir.
16 And unto the Reubenites and Gadites I gave the rest of Gilead, and unto the river of Arnon, half the river and the borders, even unto the river [ct]Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon:
17 The plain also and Jordan, and the borders from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, to wit, the salt Sea [cu]under the springs of Pisgah Eastward.
18 ¶ And I commanded [cv]you the same time, saying, The Lord your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall go over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all men of war.
19 Your wives only, and your children, and your cattle (for I know that ye have much cattle) shall abide in your cities, which I have given you,
20 Until the Lord have given rest unto your brethren as unto you, and that they also possess the land, which the Lord your God hath given them beyond Jordan: then shall ye (BH)return every man unto his possession, which I have given you.
21 ¶ (BI)And I charged Joshua the same time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the [cw]Lord your God hath done unto these two Kings: (BJ)so shall the Lord do unto all the kingdoms whither thou goest.
22 Ye shall not fear them: for the Lord your God, he shall fight for you.
23 And I besought the Lord the same time, saying,
24 O Lord God, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness and thy mighty hand: for where is there a God in heaven or in earth, that can [cx]do like thy works, and like thy [cy]power?
25 I pray thee let me go over and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly [cz]mountain, and Lebanon.
26 But the Lord was angry 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.
27 Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and [da]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:
28 But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and bolden him: for he shall go before this people, and he shall divide for inheritance unto them, the land which thou shalt see.
29 So we abode in the valley over against Beth Peor.
4 1 An exhortation to observe the law without adding thereto or diminishing. 6 Therein standeth our wisdom. 9 We must teach it to our children. 15 No image ought to be made to worship. 26 Threatenings against them that forsake the Law of God. 37 God chose the seed because he loved their fathers.
1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the ordinances and to the laws which I teach you to [db]do, that ye may live and go in, and possess the land, which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you.
2 (BK)Ye shall [dc]put nothing unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye [dd]take ought there from, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.
3 Your [de]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 every one from among you.
4 But ye that did [df]cleave unto the Lord your God, are alive every one of you this day.
5 Behold, I have taught you ordinances, and laws, as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do even so within the land whither ye go to possess it.
6 Keep them therefore, and do them: for that is your [dg]wisdom, and your understanding in the sight of the people, which shall hear all these ordinances, and shall say, [dh]Only this people is wise, and of understanding, and a great nation.
7 For what nation is so great, unto whom the gods come so near unto them, as the Lord our God is, [di]near unto us, in all that we call unto him for?
8 And what nation is so great, that hath ordinances and laws so righteous, as all this Law, which I set before you this day?
9 But take heed to thyself, and [dj]keep thy soul diligently, that thou forget not the things which thine eyes have seen, and that they depart not out of thine heart, all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons’ sons:
10 Forget not 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 cause them to 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 Then came you near and (BL)stood under the mountain, and the mountain [dk]burnt with fire unto the midst of heaven, and there was darkness, clouds and mist.
12 And the Lord spake unto you out of the midst of the fire, and ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude, save a voice.
13 Then he declared unto you his covenant which he commanded you to [dl]do, even the ten [dm]commandments, and wrote them upon two Tables of stone.
14 ¶ And the Lord commanded me that same time, that I should teach you ordinances and laws, which ye should observe in the land, whither ye go, to possess it.
15 Take therefore good heed unto your [dn]selves: for ye saw no [do]image in the day that the Lord spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
16 That ye corrupt not yourselves, and make you a graven image, or representation of any figure: whether it be the likeness of male or female,
17 The likeness of any beast that is on earth, or the likeness of any feathered fowl that flieth in the air:
18 Or the likeness of anything that creepeth on the earth, or 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 with all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them and serve them, which the Lord thy God hath [dp]distributed to all people under the whole heaven.
20 But the Lord hath taken you and brought you out of the [dq]iron furnace, out of Egypt to be unto him a people and inheritance, as appeareth this day.
21 And the Lord was angry with me for your words, 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 For I must die in this land, and shall not go over Jordan: but [dr]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 lest ye make you any graven image, or likeness of anything, as the Lord thy God hath charged thee.
24 For the Lord thy God is a [ds]consuming fire, and a jealous God.
25 ¶ When thou shalt beget children and children’s children, and shalt have remained long in the land, if ye [dt]corrupt yourselves, and make any graven image, or likeness of anything, and work evil in the sight of the Lord thy God, to provoke him to anger,
26 I [du]call heaven and earth to record against you this day, that ye shall shortly perish from the land, whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it: ye shall not prolong your days therein, but shall utterly be destroyed.
27 And the Lord shall [dv]scatter you among the people, and ye shall be left few in number among the nations, whither the Lord shall bring you:
28 And there ye shall serve gods: even the work of man’s hand, 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 thine [dw]heart, and with all thy soul.
30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, [dx]at the length, if thou return to the Lord thy God, and 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 [dy]sware unto them.
32 For inquire now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and [dz]ask from the one end of heaven unto the other, if there came to pass such a great thing as this, or whether any such like thing hath been heard.
33 Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of a fire, as thou hast heard, and lived?
34 Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from among nations, by [ea]tentations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great fear, according unto all that the Lord your God did unto you in Egypt before your eyes?
35 Unto thee it was showed, that thou mightest [eb]know that the Lord he is God, and that there is none but he alone.
36 Out of heaven he made thee hear his voice to instruct thee, and upon earth he showed thee his great fire, and thou heardest his voice out of the midst of the fire.
37 And because [ec]he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and hath brought thee out of Egypt in his sight by his mighty power,
38 To thrust out nations greater and mightier than thou, before thee, to bring thee in, and to give thee their land for inheritance: as appeareth this day.
39 Understand therefore this day, and consider in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none other.
40 Thou shalt keep therefore his ordinances, and his commandments which I command thee this day, that it may [ed]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 forever.
41 ¶ Then Moses separated three cities on this side of Jordan toward the sun rising:
42 That the slayer should flee thither, which had killed his neighbor at unawares, and hated him not in time past, might flee, I say, unto one of those cities, and live:
43 That is, (BM)Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country of the Reubenites: and Ramoth in Gilead among the Gadites: and Golan in Bashan among them of Manasseh.
44 ¶ So this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel.
45 These are the [ee]witnesses, and the ordinances, and the laws which Moses declared to the children of Israel after they came out of Egypt.
46 On this side Jordan, in the valley over against Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon King of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel (BN)smote, after they were come out of Egypt:
47 And they possessed his land, and the land of (BO)Og King of Bashan, two Kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sun rising:
48 From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon,
49 And all the plain from Jordan Eastward, even unto [ef]the Sea of the plain, under the (BP)springs of Pisgah.
5 5 Moses is the mean between God and the people. 6 The Law is repeated. 23 The people are afraid at God’s voice. 29 The Lord wisheth that the people would fear him. 32 They must neither decline to the right hand nor left.
1 Then Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the ordinances and the laws which [eg]I propose to you this day, that ye may learn them, and take heed to observe them.
2 (BQ)The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3 The Lord [eh]made not this covenant with our fathers only, but with us, even with us all here alive this day.
4 The Lord talked with you [ei]face to face in the Mount, out of the midst of the fire.
5 (At that time I stood between the Lord and you, to declare unto you the word of the Lord: for ye were afraid at the sight of the fire, and went not up into the mount) and he said,
6 ¶ (BR)I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of [ej]bondage.
7 Thou shalt have none [ek]other gods before my face.
8 Thou shalt make thee no graven image or any likeness of that that is in heaven above, or which is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters under the earth.
9 Thou shalt neither bow thyself unto them, nor serve them: for (BS)I the Lord thy God am a [el]jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, even unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me:
10 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that [em]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 [en]thou shalt labor, and shalt do all thy work:
14 But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: thou shalt not do any work therein, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maid, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, neither any of thy cattle, nor the stranger that is within thy gates: that thy manservant and thy maid may rest as well as thou.
15 For, remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence by a mighty hand, and a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to observe the Sabbath day.
16 ¶ [eo]Honor 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 upon the land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
17 (BT)Thou shalt not kill.
18 (BU)Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
19 (BV)Neither shalt thou steal.
20 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor.
21 (BW)Neither shalt [ep]thou covet thy neighbor’s wife, neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor’s house, his field, nor his manservant, nor his maid, his ox, nor his ass, nor ought that thy neighbor hath.
22 ¶ These words the Lord spake unto all your multitude in the mount of the midst of the fire, the cloud and the darkness, with a great voice, and [eq]added no more thereto: and wrote them upon two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.
23 And when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire) then ye came to me, all the chief of your tribes, and your Elders:
24 And ye said, Behold, the Lord our God hath showed us his glory and his greatness, and (BX)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 (BY)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 anymore, we shall die.
26 For what [er]flesh was there ever that 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 saith: and declare thou unto us all that the Lord our God saith unto thee: (BZ)and we will hear it, and do it.
28 Then 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 Oh [es]that there were such an heart in them to fear me, and to keep all my commandments always: that it might go well with them, and with their children forever.
30 Go, say unto them, Return you into your tents.
31 But stand thou here with me, and I will tell thee all the commandments, and the ordinances, and the laws, which thou shalt teach them: that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
32 Take heed therefore, that ye do as the Lord your God hath commanded you: [et]turn not aside to the right hand nor to the left.
33 But walk in all the ways which the Lord your God hath commanded you, that ye may [eu]live, and that it may go well with you: and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
6 1 An exhortation to fear God, and keep his commandments, 5 Which is, to love him with all thine heart. 7 The same must be taught to the posterity. 16 Not to tempt God. 25 Righteousness is contained in the Law.
1 These now are the commandments, ordinances, and [ev]laws, which the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
2 That thou mightest [ew]fear the Lord thy God, and keep all his ordinances, and his commandments which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son all the days of thy life, even that thy days may be prolonged:
3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and take heed to do it, that it may go well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily [ex]in the land that floweth with milk and honey, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee.
4 Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is Lord only,
5 And (CA)thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 (CB)And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart.
7 And thou shalt [ey]rehearse them continually unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou tarriest in thine house, and as 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 [ez]as frontlets between thine eyes.
9 Also thou shalt write them upon the [fa]posts of thine house, and upon thy gates.
10 And when the Lord thy God hath brought thee into the land, which he sware unto thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give to thee, with great and goodly cities which thou buildedst not,
11 And houses full of all manner of goods which thou filledst not, and wells dug which thou dug not, vineyards and olive trees which thou plantedst not, and when thou hast eaten and art full,
12 [fb]Beware lest thou forget the Lord, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage:
13 Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him, and shalt [fc]swear by his Name.
14 Ye shall not walk after other gods, after any 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 wrath of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from the face of the earth.
16 ¶ Ye shall not [fd]tempt the Lord your God, as ye did tempt him in Massah:
17 But ye shall keep diligently the commandments of the Lord your God, and his testimonies and his ordinances, which he hath commanded thee.
18 And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the [fe]sight of the Lord: that thou mayest prosper, and that thou mayest go in, and possess that good land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers,
19 To cast out all thine enemies before thee, as the Lord hath said.
20 When [ff]thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, What mean these testimonies, and ordinances, and Laws, which the Lord our God hath commanded you?
21 Then shalt thou say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh’s bondmen in Egypt: but the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
22 And the Lord showed signs and wonders great and evil upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household before our eyes,
23 And [fg]brought us out from thence, to bring us in, and to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
24 Therefore the Lord hath commanded us, to do all these ordinances, and to fear the Lord our God, that it may go ever well with us, and that he may preserve us alive at this present.
25 Moreover, this shall be our [fh]righteousness before the Lord our God, if we take heed to keep all these commandments, as he hath commanded us.
7 1 The Israelites may make no covenant with the Gentiles. 5 They must destroy the idols. 8 The election dependeth on the free love of God. 19 The experience of the power of God ought to confirm us. 25 To avoid all occasion of idolatry.
1 When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, (CC)and shall root out many nations before thee: the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou,
2 And the Lord thy God shall give them [fi]before thee, then thou shalt smite them: thou shalt utterly destroy them: thou shalt make no (CD)covenant with them, nor have compassion on them,
3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them, neither give thy daughter unto his son, nor take his daughter unto thy son.
4 For [fj]they will cause thy son to turn away from me, and to serve other gods: then will the wrath of the Lord wax hot against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
5 But thus ye shall deal with them, [fk]Ye shall overthrow their altars, and break down their pillars, and ye shall cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
6 (CE)For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God, (CF)the Lord thy God hath chosen thee, to be a precious people unto himself, above all people that are upon the earth.
7 The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor chose you, because ye were more in number than any people: for ye were the fewest of all people:
8 But because the Lord [fl]loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, the Lord hath brought you out by a mighty hand, and delivered you out of the house of bondage from the hand of Pharaoh King of Egypt.
9 That thou mayest know, [fm]that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy unto them that love him and keep his commandments, even to a thousand generations,
10 And rewardeth [fn]them to their face that hate him, to bring them to destruction: he will not defer to reward him that hateth him, to his face.
11 Keep thou therefore the commandments, and the ordinances, and the laws, which I command thee this day to do them.
12 ¶ For if ye hearken unto these laws, and observe and do them, then the Lord thy God shall keep with thee the covenant, and the [fo]mercy which he sware unto thy fathers.
13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn and thy wine, and thine oil, and the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep in the land, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: (CG)there shall be neither male nor female barren among you, nor among your cattle.
15 Moreover, the Lord will take away from thee all infirmities, and will put none of the evil diseases of (CH)Egypt (which thou knowest) upon thee, but will send them upon all that hate thee.
16 Thou shalt therefore consume all people which the Lord thy God shall give thee: [fp]thine eye shall not spare them, neither shalt thou serve their gods, for that shall be thy (CI)destruction.
17 If thou say in thine heart, These nations are more than I, how can I cast them out?
18 Thou shalt not fear them, but remember what the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt:
19 The great [fq]tentations which thine eyes saw, and the signs and wonders, and the mighty hand and stretched out arm, whereby the Lord thy God brought thee out: so shall the Lord thy God do unto all the people, whose face thou fearest.
20 (CJ)Moreover, the Lord thy God will send [fr]hornets among them until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
21 Thou shalt not fear them: for the Lord thy God is among you, a God mighty and dreadful.
22 And the Lord thy God will root out these nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the [fs]beasts of the field increase upon thee.
23 But the Lord thy God shall give them before thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be brought to naught.
24 And he shall deliver their Kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou hast destroyed them.
25 The graven images of their gods shall ye (CK)burn with fire, and (CL)covet not the silver and gold, that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou [ft]be snared therewith: for it is an abomination before the Lord thy God.
26 Bring not therefore abomination into thine house, lest thou be accursed like it, but utterly abhor it, and count it most abominable: for it is (CM)accursed.
