young bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs a year old without blemish; 029:018 and their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance; 029:019 and one male goat for a sin offering; besides the continual burnt offering, and the meal offering of it, and their drink offerings. 029:020 On the third day eleven bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs a year old without blemish; 029:021 and their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance; 029:022 and one male goat for a sin offering; besides the continual burnt offering, and the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it. 029:023 On the fourth day ten bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs a year old without blemish; 029:024 their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance; 029:025 and one male goat for a sin offering; besides the continual burnt offering, the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it. 029:026 On the fifth day nine bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs a year old without blemish; 029:027 and their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance; 029:028 and one male goat for a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, and the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it. 029:029 On the sixth day eight bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs a year old without blemish; 029:030 and their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance; 029:031 and one male goat for a sin offering; besides the continual burnt offering, the meal offering of it, and the drink offerings of it. 029:032 On the seventh day seven bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs a year old without blemish; 029:033 and their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance; 029:034 and one male goat for a sin offering; besides the continual burnt offering, the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it. 029:035 On the eighth day you shall have a solemn assembly: you shall do no servile work; 029:036 but you shall offer a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh: one bull, one ram, seven male lambs a year old without blemish; 029:037 their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bull, for the ram, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the ordinance: 029:038 and one male goat for a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, and the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it. 029:039 These you shall offer to Yahweh in your set feasts, besides your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your meal offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your peace offerings. 029:040 Moses told the children of Israel according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses. 030:001 Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded. 030:002 When a man vows a vow to Yahweh, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth. 030:003 Also when a woman vows a vow to Yahweh, and binds herself by a bond, being in her father's house, in her youth, 030:004 and her father hears her vow, and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father holds his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand. 030:005 But if her father disallow her in the day that he hears, none of her vows, or of her bonds with which she has bound her soul, shall stand: and Yahweh will forgive her, because her father disallowed her. 030:006 If she be [married] to a husband, while her vows are on her, or the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul, 030:007 and her husband hear it, and hold his peace at her in the day that he hears it; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she has bound her soul shall stand. 030:008 But if her husband disallow her in the day that he hears it, then he shall make void her vow which is on her, and the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul: and Yahweh will forgive her. 030:009 But the vow of a widow, or of her who is divorced, [even] everything with which she has bound her soul, shall stand against her. 030:010 If she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath, 030:011 and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and didn't disallow her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand. 030:012 But if her husband made them null and void in the day that he heard them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband has made them void; and Yahweh will forgive her. 030:013 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void. 030:014 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows, or all her bonds, which are on her: he has established them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them. 030:015 But if he shall make them null and void after that he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity. 030:016 These are the statutes, which Yahweh commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father's house. 031:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 031:002 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward you shall be gathered to your people. 031:003 Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm you men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute Yahweh's vengeance on Midian. 031:004 Of every tribe one thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall you send to the war. 031:005 So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. 031:006 Moses sent them, one thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand. 031:007 They warred against Midian, as Yahweh commanded Moses; and they killed every male. 031:008 They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they killed with the sword. 031:009 The children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their livestock, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey. 031:010 All their cities in the places in which they lived, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire. 031:011 They took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of animal. 031:012 They brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the children of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho. 031:013 Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them outside of the camp. 031:014 Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war. 031:015 Moses said to them, Have you saved all the women alive? 031:016 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against Yahweh in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of Yahweh. 031:017 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him. 031:018 But all the girls, who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. 031:019 Encamp you outside of the camp seven days: whoever has killed any person, and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, you and your captives. 031:020 As to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats' [hair], and all things made of wood, you shall purify yourselves. 031:021 Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle, This is the statute of the law which Yahweh has commanded Moses: 031:022 however the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead, 031:023 everything that may abide the fire, you shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water for impurity: and all that doesn't withstand the fire you shall make to go through the water. 031:024 You shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean; and afterward you shall come into the camp. 031:025 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 031:026 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of animal, you, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the congregation; 031:027 and divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled in war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation. 031:028 Levy a tribute to Yahweh of the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the donkeys, and of the flocks: 031:029 take it of their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest, for Yahweh's wave offering. 031:030 Of the children of Israel's half, you shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, [even] of all the livestock, and give them to the Levites, who keep the charge of the tent of Yahweh. 031:031 Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Yahweh commanded Moses. 031:032 Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep, 031:033 and seventy-two thousand oxen, 031:034 and sixty-one thousand donkeys, 031:035 and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of the women who had not known man by lying with him. 031:036 The half, which was the portion of those who went out to war, was in number three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep: 031:037 and Yahweh's tribute of the sheep was six hundred seventy-five. 031:038 The oxen were thirty-six thousand; of which Yahweh's tribute was seventy-two. 031:039 The donkeys were thirty thousand five hundred; of which Yahweh's tribute was sixty-one. 031:040 The persons were sixteen thousand; of whom Yahweh's tribute was thirty-two persons. 031:041 Moses gave the tribute, which was Yahweh's wave offering, to Eleazar the priest, as Yahweh commanded Moses. 031:042 Of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided off from the men who warred 031:043 (now the congregation's half was three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep, 031:044 and thirty-six thousand oxen, 031:045 and thirty thousand five hundred donkeys, 031:046 and sixteen thousand persons), 031:047 even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of animal, and gave them to the Levites, who kept the charge of the tent of Yahweh; as Yahweh commanded Moses. 031:048 The officers who were over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near to Moses; 031:049 and they said to Moses, Your servants have taken the sum of the men of war who are under our charge, and there lacks not one man of us. 031:050 We have brought Yahweh's offering, what every man has gotten, of jewels of gold, armlets, and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before Yahweh. 031:051 Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all worked jewels. 031:052 All the gold of the wave offering that they offered up to Yahweh, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred fifty shekels. 031:053 ([For] the men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.) 031:054 Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, for a memorial for the children of Israel before Yahweh. 032:001 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that behold, the place was a place for livestock; 032:002 the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying, 032:003 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon, 032:004 the land which Yahweh struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock. 032:005 They said, If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession; don't bring us over the Jordan. 032:006 Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brothers go to the war, and shall you sit here? 032:007 Why discourage you the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which Yahweh has given them? 032:008 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land. 032:009 For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which Yahweh had given them. 032:010 Yahweh's anger was kindled in that day, and he swore, saying, 032:011 Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me: 032:012 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have wholly followed Yahweh. 032:013 Yahweh's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, who had done evil in the sight of Yahweh, was consumed. 032:014 Behold, you are risen up in your fathers' place, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of Yahweh toward Israel. 032:015 For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all this people. 032:016 They came near to him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones: 032:017 but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land. 032:018 We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance. 032:019 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward. 032:020 Moses said to them, If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before Yahweh to the war, 032:021 and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before Yahweh, until he has driven out his enemies from before him, 032:022 and the land is subdued before Yahweh; then afterward you shall return, and be guiltless towards Yahweh, and towards Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before Yahweh. 032:023 But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against Yahweh; and be sure your sin will find you out. 032:024 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth. 032:025 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, Your servants will do as my lord commands. 032:026 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock, shall be there in the cities of Gilead; 032:027 but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before Yahweh to battle, as my lord says. 032:028 So Moses gave charge concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the tribes of the children of Israel. 032:029 Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man who is armed to battle, before Yahweh, and the land shall be subdued before you; then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession: 032:030 but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan. 032:031 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As Yahweh has said to your servants, so will we do. 032:032 We will pass over armed before Yahweh into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance [shall remain] with us beyond the Jordan. 032:033 Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, according to the cities of it with [their] borders, even the cities of the land round about. 032:034 The children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, 032:035 and Atrothshophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah, 032:036 and Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities, and folds for sheep. 032:037 The children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim, 032:038 and Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah: and they gave other names to the cities which they built. 032:039 The children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were therein. 032:040 Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he lived therein. 032:041 Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the towns of it, and called them Havvoth Jair. 032:042 Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages of it, and called it Nobah, after his own name. 033:001 These are the journeys of the children of Israel, when they went forth out of the land of Egypt by their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron. 033:002 Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of Yahweh: and these are their journeys according to their goings out. 033:003 They traveled from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the next day after the Passover the children of Israel went out with a high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians, 033:004 while the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, whom Yahweh had struck among them: on their gods also Yahweh executed judgments. 033:005 The children of Israel traveled from Rameses, and encamped in Succoth. 033:006 They traveled from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness. 033:007 They traveled from Etham, and turned back to Pihahiroth, which is before Baal Zephon: and they encamped before Migdol. 033:008 They traveled from before Hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness: and they went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and encamped in Marah. 033:009 They traveled from Marah, and came to Elim: and in Elim were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees; and they encamped there. 033:010 They traveled from Elim, and encamped by the Red Sea{or, Sea of Reeds}. 033:011 They traveled from the Red Sea{or, Sea of Reeds}, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin. 033:012 They traveled from the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah. 033:013 They traveled from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush. 033:014 They traveled from Alush, and encamped in Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink. 033:015 They traveled from Rephidim, and encamped in the wilderness of Sinai. 033:016 They traveled from the wilderness of Sinai, and encamped in Kibroth Hattaavah. 033:017 They traveled from Kibroth Hattaavah, and encamped in Hazeroth. 033:018 They traveled from Hazeroth, and encamped in Rithmah. 033:019 They traveled from Rithmah, and encamped in Rimmon Perez. 033:020 They traveled from Rimmon Perez, and encamped in Libnah. 033:021 They traveled from Libnah, and encamped in Rissah. 033:022 They traveled from Rissah, and encamped in Kehelathah. 033:023 They traveled from Kehelathah, and encamped in Mount Shepher. 033:024 They traveled from Mount Shepher, and encamped in Haradah. 033:025 They traveled from Haradah, and encamped in Makheloth. 033:026 They traveled from Makheloth, and encamped in Tahath. 033:027 They traveled from Tahath, and encamped in Terah. 033:028 They traveled from Terah, and encamped in Mithkah. 033:029 They traveled from Mithkah, and encamped in Hashmonah. 033:030 They traveled from Hashmonah, and encamped in Moseroth. 033:031 They traveled from Moseroth, and encamped in Bene Jaakan. 033:032 They traveled from Bene Jaakan, and encamped in Hor Haggidgad. 033:033 They traveled from Hor Haggidgad, and encamped in Jotbathah. 033:034 They traveled from Jotbathah, and encamped in Abronah. 033:035 They traveled from Abronah, and encamped in Ezion Geber. 033:036 They traveled from Ezion Geber, and encamped in the wilderness of Zin (the same is Kadesh). 033:037 They traveled from Kadesh, and encamped in Mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom. 033:038 Aaron the priest went up into Mount Hor at the commandment of Yahweh, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first day of the month. 033:039 Aaron was one hundred twenty-three years old when he died in Mount Hor. 033:040 The Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the South in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel. 033:041 They traveled from Mount Hor, and encamped in Zalmonah. 033:042 They traveled from Zalmonah, and encamped in Punon. 033:043 They traveled from Punon, and encamped in Oboth. 033:044 They traveled from Oboth, and encamped in Iye Abarim, in the border of Moab. 033:045 They traveled from Iyim, and encamped in Dibon Gad. 033:046 They traveled from Dibon Gad, and encamped in Almon Diblathaim. 033:047 They traveled from Almon Diblathaim, and encamped in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. 033:048 They traveled from the mountains of Abarim, and encamped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. 033:049 They encamped by the Jordan, from Beth Jeshimoth even to Abel Shittim in the plains of Moab. 033:050 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, 033:051 Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 033:052 then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figured [stones], and destroy all their molten images, and demolish all their high places: 033:053 and you shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein; for to you have I given the land to possess it. 033:054 You shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the more you shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer you shall give the less inheritance: wherever the lot falls to any man, that shall be his; according to the tribes of your fathers shall you inherit. 033:055 But if you will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then shall those who you let remain of them be as pricks in your eyes, and as thorns in your sides, and they shall vex you in the land in which you dwell. 033:056 It shall happen that as I thought to do to them, so will I do to you. 034:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 034:002 Command the children of Israel, and tell them, When you come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to the borders of it), 034:003 then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom, and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward; 034:004 and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out of it shall be southward of Kadesh Barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar Addar, and pass along to Azmon; 034:005 and the border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea. 034:006 For the western border, you shall have the great sea and the border [of it]: this shall be your west border. 034:007 This shall be your north border: from the great sea you shall mark out for you Mount Hor; 034:008 from Mount Hor you shall mark out to the entrance of Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad; 034:009 and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar Enan: this shall be your north border. 034:010 You shall mark out your east border from Hazar Enan to Shepham; 034:011 and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down, and shall reach to the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward; 034:012 and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to the borders of it round about. 034:013 Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which Yahweh has commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe; 034:014 for the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their fathers' houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers' houses, have received, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance: 034:015 the two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise. 034:016 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 034:017 These are the names of the men who shall divide the land to you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. 034:018 You shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance. 034:019 These are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 034:020 Of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud. 034:021 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon. 034:022 Of the tribe of the children of Dan a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli. 034:023 Of the children of Joseph: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod. 034:024 Of the tribe of the children of Ephraim a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan. 034:025 Of the tribe of the children of Zebulun a prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach. 034:026 Of the tribe of the children of Issachar a prince, Paltiel the son of Azzan. 034:027 Of the tribe of the children of Asher a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi. 034:028 Of the tribe of the children of Naphtali a prince, Pedahel the son of Ammihud. 034:029 These are they whom Yahweh commanded to divide the inheritance to the children of Israel in the land of Canaan. 035:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, 035:002 Command the children of Israel that they give to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and suburbs for the cities round about them shall you give to the Levites. 035:003 The cities shall they have to dwell in; and their suburbs shall be for their livestock, and for their substance, and for all their animals. 035:004 The suburbs of the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward one thousand cubits round about. 035:005 You shall measure outside of the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the midst. This shall be to them the suburbs of the cities. 035:006 The cities which you shall give to the Levites, they shall be the six cities of refuge, which you shall give for the manslayer to flee to: and besides them you shall give forty-two cities. 035:007 All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities; them [shall you give] with their suburbs. 035:008 Concerning the cities which you shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many you shall take many; and from the few you shall take few: everyone according to his inheritance which he inherits shall give of his cities to the Levites. 035:009 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 035:010 Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 035:011 then you shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer who kills any person unwittingly may flee there. 035:012 The cities shall be to you for refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer not die, until he stands before the congregation for judgment. 035:013 The cities which you shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge. 035:014 You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and three cities shall you give in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge. 035:015 For the children of Israel, and for the stranger and for the foreigner living among them, shall these six cities be for refuge; that everyone who kills any person unwittingly may flee there. 035:016 But if he struck him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. 035:017 If he struck him with a stone in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. 035:018 Or if he struck him with a weapon of wood in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. 035:019 The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death: when he meets him, he shall put him to death. 035:020 If he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died, 035:021 or in enmity struck him with his hand, so that he died; he who struck him shall surely be put to death; he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meets him. 035:022 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled on him anything without lying in wait, 035:023 or with any stone, by which a man may die, not seeing him, and cast it on him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm; 035:024 then the congregation shall judge between the striker and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances; 035:025 and the congregation shall deliver the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, where he was fled: and he shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil. 035:026 But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge, where he flees, 035:027 and the avenger of blood find him outside of the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kill the manslayer; he shall not be guilty of blood, 035:028 because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the manslayer shall return into the land of his possession. 035:029 These things shall be for a statute [and] ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 035:030 Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person that he die. 035:031 Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death. 035:032 You shall take no ransom for him who is fled to his city of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest. 035:033 So you shall not pollute the land in which you are: for blood, it pollutes the land; and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him who shed it. 035:034 You shall not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell: for I, Yahweh, dwell in the midst of the children of Israel. 036:001 The heads of the fathers' [houses] of the family of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spoke before Moses, and before the princes, the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the children of Israel: 036:002 and they said, Yahweh commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by Yahweh to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters. 036:003 If they be married to any of the sons of the [other] tribes of the children of Israel, then will their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong: so will it be taken away from the lot of our inheritance. 036:004 When the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then will their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong: so will their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers. 036:005 Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of Yahweh, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks right. 036:006 This is the thing which Yahweh does command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them be married to whom they think best; only into the family of the tribe of their father shall they be married. 036:007 So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall cleave everyone to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 036:008 Every daughter, who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may possess every man the inheritance of his fathers. 036:009 So shall no inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall cleave everyone to his own inheritance. 036:010 Even as Yahweh commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad: 036:011 for Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father's brothers' sons. 036:012 They were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father. 036:013 These are the commandments and the ordinances which Yahweh commanded by Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. Book 05 Deuteronomy 001:001 These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah over against Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab. 001:002 It is eleven days' [journey] from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea. 001:003 It happened in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all that Yahweh had given him in commandment to them; 001:004 after he had struck Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth, at Edrei. 001:005 Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, 001:006 Yahweh our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, You have lived long enough in this mountain: 001:007 turn, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites, and to all [the places] near there, in the Arabah, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and in the South, and by the seashore, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates. 001:008 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them. 001:009 I spoke to you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone: 001:010 Yahweh your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are this day as the stars of the sky for multitude. 001:011 Yahweh, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are, and bless you, as he has promised you! 001:012 How can I myself alone bear your encumbrance, and your burden, and your strife? 001:013 Take wise men of understanding and well known according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you. 001:014 You answered me, and said, The thing which you have spoken is good [for us] to do. 001:015 So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes. 001:016 I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [the causes] between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the foreigner who is living with him. 001:017 You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike; you shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it. 001:018 I commanded you at that time all the things which you should do. 001:019 We traveled from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw, by the way to the hill country of the Amorites, as Yahweh our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh Barnea. 001:020 I said to you, You are come to the hill country of the Amorites, which Yahweh our God gives to us. 001:021 Behold, Yahweh your God has set the land before you: go up, take possession, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has spoken to you; don't be afraid, neither be dismayed. 001:022 You came near to me everyone of you, and said, Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come. 001:023 The thing pleased me well; and I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe: 001:024 and they turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out. 001:025 They took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which Yahweh our God gives to us. 001:026 Yet you wouldn't go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God: 001:027 and you murmured in your tents, and said, Because Yahweh hated us, he has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us. 001:028 Where are we going up? our brothers have made our heart to melt, saying, The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to the sky; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there. 001:029 Then I said to you, Don't dread, neither be afraid of them. 001:030 Yahweh your God who goes before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes, 001:031 and in the wilderness, where you have seen how that Yahweh your God bore you, as a man does bear his son, in all the way that you went, until you came to this place. 001:032 Yet in this thing you didn't believe Yahweh your God, 001:033 who went before you in the way, to seek you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in the cloud by day. 001:034 Yahweh heard the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying, 001:035 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see the good land, which I swore to give to your fathers, 001:036 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh: he shall see it; and to him will I give the land that he has trodden on, and to his children, because he has wholly followed Yahweh. 001:037 Also Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, saying, You also shall not go in there: 001:038 Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall go in there: encourage you him; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. 001:039 Moreover your little ones, whom you said should be a prey, and your children, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there, and to them will I give it, and they shall possess it. 001:040 But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea{or, Sea of Reeds}. 001:041 Then you answered and said to me, We have sinned against Yahweh, we will go up and fight, according to all that Yahweh our God commanded us. You girded on every man his weapons of war, and were forward to go up into the hill country. 001:042 Yahweh said to me, Tell them, Don't go up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest you be struck before your enemies. 001:043 So I spoke to you, and you didn't listen; but you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill country. 001:044 The Amorites, who lived in that hill country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah. 001:045 You returned and wept before Yahweh; but Yahweh didn't listen to your voice, nor gave ear to you. 001:046 So you abode in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you abode [there]. 002:001 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea{or, Sea of Reeds}, as Yahweh spoke to me; and we compassed Mount Seir many days. 002:002 Yahweh spoke to me, saying, 002:003 You have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward. 002:004 Command you the people, saying, You are to pass through the border of your brothers the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you: take good heed to yourselves therefore; 002:005 don't contend with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on; because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for a possession. 002:006 You shall purchase food of them for money, that you may eat; and you shall also buy water of them for money, that you may drink. 002:007 For Yahweh your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; he has known your walking through this great wilderness: these forty years Yahweh your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing. 002:008 So we passed by from our brothers the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion Geber. We turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab. 002:009 Yahweh said to me, Don't bother Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give you of his land for a possession; because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession. 002:010 (The Emim lived therein before, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim: 002:011 these also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim. 002:012 The Horites also lived in Seir before, but the children of Esau succeeded them; and they destroyed them from before them, and lived in their place; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which Yahweh gave to them.) 002:013 Now rise up, and get you over the brook Zered. We went over the brook Zered. 002:014 The days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as Yahweh swore to them. 002:015 Moreover the hand of Yahweh was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed. 002:016 So it happened, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people, 002:017 that Yahweh spoke to me, saying, 002:018 You are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab: 002:019 and when you come near over against the children of Ammon, don't bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you of the land of the children of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession. 002:020 (That also is accounted a land of Rephaim: Rephaim lived therein before; but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim, 002:021 a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim; but Yahweh destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place; 002:022 as he did for the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place even to this day: 002:023 and the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and lived in their place.) 002:024 Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon: behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land; begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle. 002:025 This day will I begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you on the peoples who are under the whole sky, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of you. 002:026 I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, 002:027 Let me pass through your land: I will go along by the highway, I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left. 002:028 You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only let me pass through on my feet, 002:029 as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me; until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Yahweh our God gives us. 002:030 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Yahweh your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as at this day. 002:031 Yahweh said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you: begin to possess, that you may inherit his land. 002:032 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz. 002:033 Yahweh our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, and his sons, and all his people. 002:034 We took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining: 002:035 only the livestock we took for a prey to ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken. 002:036 From Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and [from] the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us; Yahweh our God delivered up all before us: 002:037 only to the land of the children of Ammon you didn't come near; all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill country, and wherever Yahweh our God forbade us. 003:001 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. 003:002 Yahweh said to me, Don't fear him; for I have delivered him, and all his people, and his land, into your hand; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon. 003:003 So Yahweh our God delivered into our hand Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we struck him until none was left to him remaining. 003:004 We took all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we didn't take from them; sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 003:005 All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars; besides the unwalled towns a great many. 003:006 We utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones. 003:007 But all the livestock, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves. 003:008 We took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon; 003:009 ([which] Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir;) 003:010 all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, to Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 003:011 (For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Rephaim; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; isn't it in Rabbah of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length of it, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.) 003:012 This land we took in possession at that time: from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead, and the cities of it, gave I to the Reubenites and to the Gadites: 003:013 and the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, gave I to the half-tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, even all Bashan. (The same is called the land of Rephaim. 003:014 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called them, even Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth Jair, to this day.) 003:015 I gave Gilead to Machir. 003:016 To the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the valley of the Arnon, the middle of the valley, and the border [of it], even to the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon; 003:017 the Arabah also, and the Jordan and the border [of it], from Chinnereth even to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah eastward. 003:018 I commanded you at that time, saying, Yahweh your God has given you this land to possess it: you shall pass over armed before your brothers the children of Israel, all the men of valor. 003:019 But your wives, and your little ones, and your livestock, (I know that you have much livestock), shall abide in your cities which I have given you, 003:020 until Yahweh give rest to your brothers, as to you, and they also possess the land which Yahweh your God gives them beyond the Jordan: then shall you return every man to his possession, which I have given you. 003:021 I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Your eyes have seen all that Yahweh your God has done to these two kings: so shall Yahweh do to all the kingdoms where you go over. 003:022 You shall not fear them; for Yahweh your God, he it is who fights for you. 003:023 I begged Yahweh at that time, saying, 003:024 Lord Yahweh, you have begun to show your servant your greatness, and your strong hand: for what god is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to your works, and according to your mighty acts? 003:025 Please let me go over and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon. 003:026 But Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, and didn't listen to me; and Yahweh said to me, Let it suffice you; speak no more to me of this matter. 003:027 Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up your eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and see with your eyes: for you shall not go over this Jordan. 003:028 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 you shall see. 003:029 So we abode in the valley over against Beth Peor. 004:001 Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and to the ordinances, which I teach you, to do them; that you may live, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, gives you. 004:002 You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish from it, that you may keep the commandments of Yahweh your God which I command you. 004:003 Your eyes have seen what Yahweh did because of Baal Peor; for all the men who followed Baal Peor, Yahweh your God has destroyed them from the midst of you. 004:004 But you who did cleave to Yahweh your God are alive everyone of you this day. 004:005 Behold, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as Yahweh my God commanded me, that you should do so in the midst of the land where you go in to possess it. 004:006 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. 004:007 For what great nation is there, that has a god so near to them, as Yahweh our God is whenever we call on him? 004:008 What great nation is there, that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day? 004:009 Only take heed to yourself, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children's children; 004:010 the day that you stood before Yahweh your God in Horeb, when Yahweh said to me, Assemble me the people, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children. 004:011 You came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of the sky, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness. 004:012 Yahweh spoke to you out of the midst of the fire: you heard the voice of words, but you saw no form; only [you heard] a voice. 004:013 He declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments; and he wrote them on two tables of stone. 004:014 Yahweh commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it. 004:015 Take therefore good heed to yourselves; for you saw no manner of form on the day that Yahweh spoke to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire. 004:016 Lest you corrupt yourselves, and make yourself an engraved image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female, 004:017 the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky, 004:018 the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth; 004:019 and lest you lift up your eyes to the sky, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the army of the sky, you are drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which Yahweh your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole sky. 004:020 But Yahweh has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as at this day. 004:021 Furthermore Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in to that good land, which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance: 004:022 but I must die in this land, I must not go over the Jordan; but you shall go over, and possess that good land. 004:023 Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he made with you, and make you an engraved image in the form of anything which Yahweh your God has forbidden you. 004:024 For Yahweh your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God. 004:025 When you shall father children, and children's children, and you shall have been long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make an engraved image in the form of anything, and shall do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh your God, to provoke him to anger; 004:026 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto you go over the Jordan to possess it; you shall not prolong your days on it, but shall utterly be destroyed. 004:027 Yahweh will scatter you among the peoples, and you shall be left few in number among the nations, where Yahweh shall lead you away. 004:028 There you shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 004:029 But from there you shall seek Yahweh your God, and you shall find him, when you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul. 004:030 When you are in oppression, and all these things are come on you, in the latter days you shall return to Yahweh your God, and listen to his voice: 004:031 for Yahweh your God is a merciful God; he will not fail you, neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore to them. 004:032 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from the one end of the sky to the other, whether there has been [any such thing] as this great thing is, or has been heard like it? 004:033 Did ever a people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live? 004:034 Or has God tried to go and take him a nation from the midst of [another] nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Yahweh your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? 004:035 To you it was shown, that you might know that Yahweh he is God; there is none else besides him. 004:036 Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might instruct you: and on earth he made you to see his great fire; and you heard his words out of the midst of the fire. 004:037 Because he loved your fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought you out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt; 004:038 to drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as at this day. 004:039 Know therefore this day, and lay it to your heart, that Yahweh he is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is none else. 004:040 You shall keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command you this day, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land, which Yahweh your God gives you, forever. 004:041 Then Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise; 004:042 that the manslayer might flee there, who kills his neighbor unawares, and didn't hate him in time past; and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live: 004:043 [namely], Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites. 004:044 This is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel: 004:045 these are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Moses spoke to the children of Israel, when they came forth out of Egypt, 004:046 beyond the Jordan, in the valley over against Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel struck, when they came forth out of Egypt. 004:047 They took his land in possession, and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise; 004:048 from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, even to Mount Sion (the same is Hermon), 004:049 and all the Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah. 005:001 Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Hear, Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, that you may learn them, and observe to do them. 005:002 Yahweh our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 005:003 Yahweh didn't make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. 005:004 Yahweh spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the midst of the fire, 005:005 (I stood between Yahweh and you at that time, to show you the word of Yahweh: for you were afraid because of the fire, and didn't go up onto the mountain;) saying, 005:006 "I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 005:007 You shall have no other gods before me. 005:008 "You shall not make an engraved image for yourself, [nor] any likeness [of anything] that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 005:009 you shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them; for I, Yahweh, your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me; 005:010 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. 005:011 "You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain: for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. 005:012 "Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Yahweh your God commanded you. 005:013 Six days shall you labor, and do all your work; 005:014 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God: [in it] you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you. 005:015 You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm: therefore Yahweh your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day. 005:016 "Honor your father and your mother, as Yahweh your God commanded you; that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you, in the land which Yahweh your God gives you. 005:017 "You shall not murder. 005:018 "Neither shall you commit adultery. 005:019 "Neither shall you steal. 005:020 "Neither shall you give false testimony against your neighbor. 005:021 "Neither shall you covet your neighbor's wife; neither shall you desire your neighbor's house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's." 005:022 These words Yahweh spoke to all your assembly on the mountain out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. He wrote them on two tables of stone, and gave them to me. 005:023 It happened, when you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders; 005:024 and you said, Behold, Yahweh our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God does speak with man, and he lives. 005:025 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of Yahweh our God any more, then we shall die. 005:026 For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived? 005:027 Go you near, and hear all that Yahweh our God shall say: and speak you to us all that Yahweh our God shall speak to you; and we will hear it, and do it. 005:028 Yahweh heard the voice of your words, when you spoke to me; and Yahweh said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to you: they have well said all that they have spoken. 005:029 Oh that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children forever! 005:030 Go tell them, Return you to your tents. 005:031 But as for you, stand you here by me, and I will speak to you all the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it. 005:032 You shall observe to do therefore as Yahweh your God has commanded you: you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 005:033 You shall walk in all the way which Yahweh your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess. 006:001 Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it; 006:002 that you might fear Yahweh your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son's son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged. 006:003 Hear therefore, Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey. 006:004 Hear, Israel: Yahweh is our God; Yahweh is one: 006:005 and you shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. 006:006 These words, which I command you this day, shall be on your heart; 006:007 and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. 006:008 You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes. 006:009 You shall write them on the door posts of your house, and on your gates. 006:010 It shall be, when Yahweh your God shall bring you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities, which you didn't build, 006:011 and houses full of all good things, which you didn't fill, and cisterns dug out, which you didn't dig, vineyards and olive trees, which you didn't plant, and you shall eat and be full; 006:012 then beware lest you forget Yahweh, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 006:013 You shall fear Yahweh your God; and him shall you serve, and shall swear by his name. 006:014 You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are round about you; 006:015 for Yahweh your God in the midst of you is a jealous God; lest the anger of Yahweh your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth. 006:016 You shall not tempt Yahweh your God, as you tempted him in Massah. 006:017 You shall diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you. 006:018 You shall do that which is right and good in the sight of Yahweh; that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, 006:019 to thrust out all your enemies from before you, as Yahweh has spoken. 006:020 When your son asks you in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh our God has commanded you? 006:021 then you shall tell your son, We were Pharaoh's bondservants in Egypt: and Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand; 006:022 and Yahweh showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes; 006:023 and he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers. 006:024 Yahweh commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Yahweh our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day. 006:025 It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us. 007:001 When Yahweh your God shall bring you into the land where you go to possess it, and shall cast out many nations before you, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and mightier than you; 007:002 and when Yahweh your God shall deliver them up before you, and you shall strike them; then you shall utterly destroy them: you shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them; 007:003 neither shall you make marriages with them; your daughter you shall not give to his son, nor his daughter shall you take to your son. 007:004 For he will turn away your son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of Yahweh be kindled against you, and he will destroy you quickly. 007:005 But thus shall you deal with them: you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and hew down their Asherim, and burn their engraved images with fire. 007:006 For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God: Yahweh your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth. 007:007 Yahweh didn't set his love on you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples: 007:008 but because Yahweh loves you, and because he would keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, has Yahweh brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 007:009 Know therefore that Yahweh your God, he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with them who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations, 007:010 and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him who hates him, he will repay him to his face. 007:011 You shall therefore keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command you this day, to do them. 007:012 It shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances, and keep and do them, that Yahweh your God will keep with you the covenant and the loving kindness which he swore to your fathers: 007:013 and he will love you, and bless you, and multiply you; he will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your livestock and the young of your flock, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you. 007:014 You shall be blessed above all peoples: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your livestock. 007:015 Yahweh will take away from you all sickness; and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, he will put on you, but will lay them on all those who hate you. 007:016 You shall consume all the peoples whom Yahweh your God shall deliver to you; your eye shall not pity them: neither shall you serve their gods; for that will be a snare to you. 007:017 If you shall say in your heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them? 007:018 you shall not be afraid of them: you shall well remember what Yahweh your God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt; 007:019 the great trials which your eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which Yahweh your God brought you out: so shall Yahweh your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid. 007:020 Moreover Yahweh your God will send the hornet among them, until those who are left, and hide themselves, perish from before you. 007:021 You shall not be scared of them; for Yahweh your God is in the midst of you, a great and awesome God. 007:022 Yahweh your God will cast out those nations before you by little and little: you may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you. 007:023 But Yahweh your God will deliver them up before you, and will confuse them with a great confusion, until they be destroyed. 007:024 He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name to perish from under the sky: there shall no man be able to stand before you, until you have destroyed them. 007:025 The engraved images of their gods shall you burn with fire: you shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it to you, lest you be snared therein; for it is an abomination to Yahweh your God. 007:026 You shall not bring an abomination into your house, and become a devoted thing like it: you shall utterly detest it, and you shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing. 008:001 All the commandment which I command you this day shall you observe to do, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers. 008:002 You shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not. 008:003 He humbled you, and allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you didn't know, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh does man live. 008:004 Your clothing didn't grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years. 008:005 You shall consider in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so Yahweh your God chastens you. 008:006 You shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. 008:007 For Yahweh your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills; 008:008 a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey; 008:009 a land in which you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper. 008:010 You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless Yahweh your God for the good land which he has given you. 008:011 Beware lest you forget Yahweh your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you this day: 008:012 lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and lived therein; 008:013 and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; 008:014 then your heart be lifted up, and you forget Yahweh your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; 008:015 who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, [in which were] fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where was no water; who brought you forth water out of the rock of flint; 008:016 who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn't know; that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end: 008:017 and [lest] you say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth. 008:018 But you shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as at this day. 008:019 It shall be, if you shall forget Yahweh your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish. 008:020 As the nations that Yahweh makes to perish before you, so shall you perish; because you wouldn't listen to the voice of Yahweh your God. 009:001 Hear, Israel: you are to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky, 009:002 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, Who can stand before the sons of Anak? 009:003 Know therefore this day, that Yahweh your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will bring them down before you: so shall you drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as Yahweh has spoken to you. 009:004 Don't speak in your heart, after that Yahweh your God has thrust them out from before you, saying, For my righteousness Yahweh has brought me in to possess this land; whereas for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh does drive them out from before you. 009:005 Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 009:006 Know therefore, that Yahweh your God doesn't give you this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people. 009:007 Remember, don't forget, how you provoked Yahweh your God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that you went forth out of the land of Egypt, until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against Yahweh. 009:008 Also in Horeb you provoked Yahweh to wrath, and Yahweh was angry with you to destroy you. 009:009 When I was gone up onto the mountain to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which Yahweh made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water. 009:010 Yahweh delivered to me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them [was written] according to all the words, which Yahweh spoke with you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. 009:011 It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Yahweh gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant. 009:012 Yahweh said to me, Arise, get you down quickly from hence; for your people whom you have brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they have quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image. 009:013 Furthermore Yahweh spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people: 009:014 let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they. 009:015 So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands. 009:016 I looked, and behold, you had sinned against Yahweh your God; you had made you a molten calf: you had turned aside quickly out of the way which Yahweh had commanded you. 009:017 I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes. 009:018 I fell down before Yahweh, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water; because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger. 009:019 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, with which Yahweh was angry against you to destroy you. But Yahweh listened to me that time also. 009:020 Yahweh was very angry with Aaron to destroy him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time. 009:021 I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust: and I cast the dust of it into the brook that descended out of the mountain. 009:022 At Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah, you provoked Yahweh to wrath. 009:023 When Yahweh sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God, and you didn't believe him, nor listen to his voice. 009:024 You have been rebellious against Yahweh from the day that I knew you. 009:025 So I fell down before Yahweh the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Yahweh had said he would destroy you. 009:026 I prayed to Yahweh, and said, Lord Yahweh, don't destroy your people and your inheritance, that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 009:027 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; don't look to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin, 009:028 lest the land whence you brought us out say, Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness. 009:029 Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm. 010:001 At that time Yahweh said to me, Hew you two tables of stone like the first, and come up to me onto the mountain, and make an ark of wood. 010:002 I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which you broke, and you shall put them in the ark. 010:003 So I made an ark of acacia wood, and hewed two tables of stone like the first, and went up onto the mountain, having the two tables in my hand. 010:004 He wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which Yahweh spoke to you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and Yahweh gave them to me. 010:005 I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are as Yahweh commanded me. 010:006 (The children of Israel traveled from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his place. 010:007 From there they traveled to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water. 010:008 At that time Yahweh set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, to stand before Yahweh to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day. 010:009 Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; Yahweh is his inheritance, according as Yahweh your God spoke to him.) 010:010 I stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and Yahweh listened to me that time also; Yahweh would not destroy you. 010:011 Yahweh said to me, Arise, take your journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to them. 010:012 Now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God require of you, but to fear Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 010:013 to keep the commandments of Yahweh, and his statutes, which I command you this day for your good? 010:014 Behold, to Yahweh your God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is therein. 010:015 Only Yahweh had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples, as at this day. 010:016 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked. 010:017 For Yahweh your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn't regard persons, nor takes reward. 010:018 He does execute justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the foreigner, in giving him food and clothing. 010:019 Therefore love the foreigner; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. 010:020 You shall fear Yahweh your God; him shall you serve; and to him shall you cleave, and by his name shall you swear. 010:021 He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things, which your eyes have seen. 010:022 Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now Yahweh your God has made you as the stars of the sky for multitude. 011:001 Therefore you shall love Yahweh your God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments, always. 011:002 Know you this day: for I don't speak with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of Yahweh your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his outstretched arm, 011:003 and his signs, and his works, which he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to all his land; 011:004 and what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red Sea{or, Sea of Reeds} to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how Yahweh has destroyed them to this day; 011:005 and what he did to you in the wilderness, until you came to this place; 011:006 and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel: 011:007 but your eyes have seen all the great work of Yahweh which he did. 011:008 Therefore shall you keep all the commandment which I command you this day, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land, where you go over to possess it; 011:009 and that you may prolong your days in the land, which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give to them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey. 011:010 For the land, where you go in to possess it, isn't as the land of Egypt, from whence you came out, where you sowed your seed, and watered it with your foot, as a garden of herbs; 011:011 but the land, where you go over to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, [and] drinks water of the rain of the sky, 011:012 a land which Yahweh your God cares for: the eyes of Yahweh your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year. 011:013 It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to my commandments which I command you this day, to love Yahweh your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, 011:014 that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, and your new wine, and your oil. 011:015 I will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full. 011:016 Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; 011:017 and the anger of Yahweh be kindled against you, and he shut up the sky, so that there shall be no rain, and the land shall not yield its fruit; and you perish quickly from off the good land which Yahweh gives you. 011:018 Therefore shall you lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul; and you shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes. 011:019 You shall teach them your children, talking of them, when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. 011:020 You shall write them on the door posts of your house, and on your gates; 011:021 that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth. 011:022 For if you shall diligently keep all this commandment which I command you, to do it, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave to him; 011:023 then will Yahweh drive out all these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves. 011:024 Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the hinder sea shall be your border. 011:025 There shall no man be able to stand before you: Yahweh your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you shall tread on, as he has spoken to you. 011:026 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse: 011:027 the blessing, if you shall listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I command you this day; 011:028 and the curse, if you shall not listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which you have not known. 011:029 It shall happen, when Yahweh your God shall bring you into the land where you go to possess it, that you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on Mount Ebal. 011:030 Aren't they beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the Arabah, over against Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh? 011:031 For you are to pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which Yahweh your God gives you, and you shall possess it, and dwell therein. 011:032 You shall observe to do all the statutes and the ordinances which I set before you this day. 012:001 These are the statutes and the ordinances which you shall observe to do in the land which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess it, all the days that you live on the earth. 012:002 You shall surely destroy all the places in which the nations that you shall dispossess served their gods, on the high mountains, and on the hills, and under every green tree: 012:003 and you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and burn their Asherim with fire; and you shall cut down the engraved images of their gods; and you shall destroy their name out of that place. 012:004 You shall not do so to Yahweh your God. 012:005 But to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, even to his habitation shall you seek, and there you shall come; 012:006 and there you shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the wave offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock: 012:007 and there you shall eat before Yahweh your God, and you shall rejoice in all that you put your hand to, you and your households, in which Yahweh your God has blessed you. 012:008 You shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatever is right in his own eyes; 012:009 for you haven't yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which Yahweh your God gives you. 012:010 But when you go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which Yahweh your God causes you to inherit, and he gives you rest from all your enemies round about, so that you dwell in safety; 012:011 then it shall happen that to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, there shall you bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the wave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which you vow to Yahweh. 012:012 You shall rejoice before Yahweh your God, you, and your sons, and your daughters, and your male servants, and your female servants, and the Levite who is within your gates, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you. 012:013 Take heed to yourself that you don't offer your burnt offerings in every place that you see; 012:014 but in the place which Yahweh shall choose in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command you. 012:015 Notwithstanding, you may kill and eat flesh within all your gates, after all the desire of your soul, according to the blessing of Yahweh your God which he has given you: the unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle, and as of the hart. 012:016 Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the earth as water. 012:017 You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain, or of your new wine, or of your oil, or the firstborn of your herd or of your flock, nor any of your vows which you vow, nor your freewill offerings, nor the wave offering of your hand; 012:018 but you shall eat them before Yahweh your God in the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates: and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God in all that you put your hand to. 012:019 Take heed to yourself that you don't forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land. 012:020 When Yahweh your God shall enlarge your border, as he has promised you, and you shall say, I will eat flesh, because your soul desires to eat flesh; you may eat flesh, after all the desire of your soul. 012:021 If the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, to put his name there, be too far from you, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock, which Yahweh has given you, as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your gates, after all the desire of your soul. 012:022 Even as the gazelle and as the hart is eaten, so you shall eat of it: the unclean and the clean may eat of it alike. 012:023 Only be sure that you don't eat the blood: for the blood is the life; and you shall not eat the life with the flesh. 012:024 You shall not eat it; you shall pour it out on the earth as water. 012:025 You shall not eat it; that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, when you shall do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh. 012:026 Only your holy things which you have, and your vows, you shall take, and go to the place which Yahweh shall choose: 012:027 and you shall offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of Yahweh your God; and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of Yahweh your God; and you shall eat the flesh. 012:028 Observe and hear all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you forever, when you do that which is good and right in the eyes of Yahweh your God. 012:029 When Yahweh
