 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest to the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.


text:
 That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy untrimmed vine: [for] it is a year of rest to the land.


text:
 And the sabbath of the land shall be food for you; for thee, and for thy male servant, and for thy female servant, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,


text:
 And for thy cattle, and for the beast that [are] in thy land, shall all the increase of it be food.


text:
 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years to thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to thee forty and nine years.


text:
 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth [day] of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.


text:
 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land to all its inhabitants: it shall be a jubilee to you; and ye shall return every man to his possession, and ye shall return every man to his family.


text:
 A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be to you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather [the grapes] in it of thy untrimmed vine.


text:
 For it [is] the jubilee; it shall be holy to you: ye shall eat the increase of it out of the field.


text:
 And if thou shalt sell any to thy neighbour, or buy [any thing] from thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:


text:
 According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, [and] according to the number of years of the fruits he shall sell to thee:


text:
 According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price of it, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for [according] to the number [of the years] of the fruits doth he sell to thee.


text:
 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I [am] the LORD your God.


text:
 Therefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.


text:
 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:


text:
 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.


text:
 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat of old fruit until the ninth year; until its fruits come in ye shall eat [of] the old [store].


text:
 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land [is] mine; for ye [are] strangers and sojourners with me.


text:
 If thy brother shall have become poor, and have sold [some] of his possession, and if any of his kin shall come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.


text:
 Then let him count the years of the sale of it, and restore the balance to the man to whom he sold it; that he may return to his possession.


text:
 But if he shall not be able to restore [it] to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return to his possession.


text:
 And if a man shall sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; [within] a full year may he redeem it.


text:
 And if it shall not be redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that [is] in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee.


text:
 But the houses of the villages which have no walls around them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.


text:
 However the cities of the Levites, [and] the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.


text:
 And if a man shall purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in [the year of] jubilee: for the houses of the cities of the Levites [are] their possession among the children of Israel.


text:
 But the field of the common land of their cities may not be sold; for it [is] their perpetual possession.


text:
 And if thy brother shall have become poor, and falleth into poverty among you; then thou shalt relieve him: [yea, though he may be] a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.


text:
 I [am] the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, [and] to be your God.


text:
 And if thy brother [that dwelleth] by thee shall have become poor, and be sold to thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a slave:


text:
 [But] as an hired servant, [and] as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, [and] shall serve thee to the year of jubilee:


text:
 And [then] shall he depart from thee, [both] he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers shall he return.


text:
 For they [are] my servants, which I brought out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as slaves.


text:
 Both thy male and female slaves, which thou shalt have, [shall be] from the heathen that are around you; from them shall ye buy male and female slaves.


text:
 Moreover of the children of the strangers that sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that [are] with you, whom they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.


text:
 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit [them for] a possession; they shall be your slaves for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.


text:
 And if a sojourner or a stranger shall become rich by thee, and thy brother [that dwelleth] by him shall become poor, and sell himself to the stranger [or] sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family:


text:
 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or [any] that is near of kin to him of his family may redeem him; or if he is able, he may redeem himself.


text:
 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him to the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.


text:
 If [there shall be] yet many years [behind], according to them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.


text:
 And if there shall remain but few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, [and] according to his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.


text:
 [And] as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: [and the other] shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.


text:
 And if he shall not be redeemed in these [years], then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, [both] he, and his children with him.


text:
 For to me the children of Israel [are] servants; they [are] my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.


text:
 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up [any] image of stone in your land, to bow down to it: for I [am] the LORD your God.


text:
 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.


text:
 And your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.


text:
 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make [you] afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.


text:
 And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.


text:
 For I will have respect to you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.


text:
 I [am] the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.


text:
 And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul shall abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, [but] that ye break my covenant:


text:
 I also will do this to you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning fever, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.


text:
 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.


text:
 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken to me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.


text:
 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:


text:
 And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.


text:
 And if ye shall walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.


text:
 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your [high] ways shall be desolate.


text:
 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of [my] covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.


text:
 [And] when I have broke the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver [you] your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.


text:
 Then I will walk contrary to you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.


text:
 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your remains upon the remains of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.


text:
 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.


text:
 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.


text:
 And I will scatter you among the nations, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.


text:
 Then shall the land enjoy its sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye [are] in your enemies ' land; [even] then shall the land rest, and enjoy its sabbaths.


text:
 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.


text:
 And upon them that are left [alive] of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.


text:
 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.


text:
 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies ' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.


text:
 If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary to me;


text:
 And [that] I also have walked contrary to them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts shall be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:


text:
 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.


text:
 The land also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.


text:
 And yet for all that, when they shall be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I [am] the LORD their God.


text:
 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I [am] the LORD.


text:
 These [are] the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.


text:
 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When a man shall make a difficult vow, the persons [shall be] for the LORD by thy estimation.


text:
 And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.


text:
 And if [it shall be] from five years old even to twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.


text:
 And if [it shall be] from a month old even to five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation [shall be] three shekels of silver.


text:
 And if [it shall be] from sixty years old and above; if a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.


text:
 But if he shall be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.


text:
 And if [it shall be] a beast, of which men bring an offering to the LORD, all that [any man] giveth of such to the LORD shall be holy.


text:
 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange of it shall be holy.


text:
 And if [it shall be] any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice to the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest:


text:
 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, [who art] the priest, so shall it be.


text:
 And when a man shall sanctify his house [to be] holy to the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it is good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.


text:
 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth [part] of the money of thy estimation to it, and it shall be his.


text:
 And if a man shall sanctify to the LORD [some part] of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed of it: an homer of barley seed [shall be valued] at fifty shekels of silver.


text:
 If he shall sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy estimation it shall stand.


text:
 But if he shall sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain, even to the year of the jubilee, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.


text:
 And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth [part] of the money of thy estimation to it, and it shall be assured to him.


text:
 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he shall have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.


text:
 But the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be holy to the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession of it shall be the priest's.


text:
 And if [a man] shall sanctify to the LORD a field which he hath bought, which [is] not of the fields of his possession;


text:
 Then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of thy estimation, [even] to the year of the jubilee: and he shall give thy estimation in that day, [as] a holy thing to the LORD.


text:
 In the year of the jubilee the field shall return to him of whom it was bought, [even] to him to whom the possession of the land [belonged].


text:
 And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.


text:
 Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD'S firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether ox, or sheep: it [is] the LORD'S.


text:
 And if [it shall be] of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem [it] according to thy estimation, and shall add to it a fifth [part] of it: or if it shall be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.


text:
 However no devoted thing, that a man shall devote to the LORD of all that he hath, [both] of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing [is] most holy to the LORD.


text:
 None devoted, which shall be devoted by men, shall be redeemed; [but] shall surely be put to death.


text:
 And all the tithe of the land, [whether] of the seed of the land, [or] of the fruit of the tree, [is] the LORD'S: [it is] holy to the LORD.


text:
 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, [even] of whatever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the LORD.


text:
 He shall not search whether it is good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he shall change it at all, then both it and its substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.


text:
 These [are] the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.


text:
 And the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first [day] of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,


text:
 Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of [their] names, every male by their polls;


text:
 From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies.

 Even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.


text:
 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel:


text:
 But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all its vessels, and over all things that [belong] to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all its vessels; and they shall minister to it, and shall encamp around the tabernacle.


text:
 And when the tabernacle moveth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.


text:
 And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.

text:
 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the womb among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;


text:
 Because all the firstborn [are] mine; [for] on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine they shall be: I [am] the LORD.

 Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.

text:
 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I [am] the LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.


text:
 And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and seventy and three.


text:
 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I [am] the LORD.


text:
 And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and seventy and three of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites;

text:
 This [shall be] the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, [about] the most holy things:


text:
 And when the camp moveth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering veil, and cover the ark of testimony with it:

 But thus do to them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach to the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden:


text:
 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families;


text:
 From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.

 And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of the congregation, its covering, and the covering of the badgers ' skins that [is] above upon it, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,

text:
 And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, and by the house of their fathers,

text:
 All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the leaders of Israel numbered, after their families, and after the house of their fathers,


text:
 From thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, every one that came to do the service of the ministry, and the service of the burden in the tabernacle of the congregation,


text:
 According to the commandment of the LORD they were numbered by the hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered by him, as the LORD commanded Moses.


text:
 Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whoever is defiled by the dead:


text:
 Both male and female shall ye put out, outside the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst of which I dwell.


text:
 And the children of Israel did so, and put them out outside the camp: as the LORD spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel.


text:
 Speak to the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person shall be guilty;


text:
 Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal of it, and add to it the fifth [part] of it, and give [it] to [him] against whom he hath trespassed.


text:
 But if the man shall have no kinsman to recompense the trespass to, let the trespass be recompensed to the LORD, [even] to the priest; besides the ram of the atonement, by which an atonement shall be made for him.


text:
 And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be his.


text:
 And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatever any man giveth to the priest, it shall be his.


text:
 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man's wife shall go astray, and commit a trespass against him,


text:
 And a man shall lie with her carnally, and it shall be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept secret, and she be defiled, and [there be] no witness against her, neither she be taken [with the manner];


text:
 And the spirit of jealousy shall come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy shall come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:


text:
 Then shall the man bring his wife to the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth [part] of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense on it; for it [is] an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.


text:
 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put [it] into the water:


text:
 And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which [is] the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:


text:
 And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say to the woman, If no man hath lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness [with another] instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:


text:
 But if thou hast gone aside [to another] instead of thy husband, and if thou art defiled, and some man hath lain with thee besides thy husband:


text:
 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say to the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to perish, and thy belly to swell;


text:
 And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make [thy] belly to swell, and [thy] thigh to perish: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.


text:
 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot [them] out with the bitter water:


text:
 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, [and become] bitter.


text:
 Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it upon the altar:


text:
 And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, [even] the memorial of it, and burn [it] upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.


text:
 And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, [that], if she is defiled, and hath done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, [and become] bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall perish: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.


text:
 This [is] the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth astray [to another] instead of her husband, and is defiled;


text:
 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he is jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.


text:
 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When either man or woman shall separate [themselves] to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate [themselves] to the LORD:


text:
 He shall separate [himself] from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.


text:
 All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.


text:
 All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days shall be fulfilled, in which he separateth [himself] to the LORD, he shall be holy, [and] shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.


text:
 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his God [is] upon his head.


text:
 And if any man shall die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.


text:
 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:


text:
 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.


text:
 And he shall consecrate to the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.


text:
 And this [is] the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:


text:
 And he shall offer his offering to the LORD, one male lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,


text:
 And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings.


text:
 And the priest shall bring [them] before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:


text:
 And he shall offer the ram [for] a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also its meat offering, and its drink offering.


text:
 And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put [it] in the fire which [is] under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.


text:
 And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put [them] upon the hands of the Nazarite, after [the hair of] his separation is shaven:


text:
 And the priest shall wave them [for] a wave offering before the LORD: this [is] holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine.


text:
 This [is] the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, [and of] his offering to the LORD for his separation, besides [that] which his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his separation.


text:
 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, In this way ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying to them,


text:
 And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all its instruments, both the altar and all its vessels, and had anointed them, and sanctified them;


text:
 That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who [were] the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered:


text:
 And they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they brought them before the tabernacle.


text:
 Take [it] of them, that they may be to perform the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service.


text:
 And four wagons and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.


text:
 But to the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the service of the sanctuary belonging to them [was that] they should bear upon their shoulders.


text:
 And the princes offered for dedicating the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering before the altar.


text:
 And the LORD said to Moses, They shall offer their offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.


text:
 And he that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah:


text:
 And his offering [was] one silver platter, the weight of which [was] an hundred and thirty [shekels], one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them [were] full of fine flour mixed with oil for a meat offering:

text:
 And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five male goats, five lambs of the first year: this [was] the offering of Pagiel the son of Ocran.


text:
 And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five male goats, five lambs of the first year: this [was] the offering of Ahira the son of Enan.


text:
 This [was] the dedication of the altar, in the day when it was anointed, by the princes of Israel: twelve platters of silver, twelve silver bowls, twelve spoons of gold:


text:
 Each platter of silver [weighing] an hundred and thirty [shekels], each bowl seventy: all the silver vessels [weighed] two thousand and four hundred [shekels], after the shekel of the sanctuary:


text:
 The golden spoons [were] twelve, full of incense, [weighing] ten [shekels] apiece, after the shekel of the sanctuary: all the gold of the spoons [was] an hundred and twenty [shekels].


text:
 All the oxen for the burnt offering [were] twelve bulls, the rams twelve, the lambs of the first year twelve, with their meat offering: and the kids of the goats for sin offering twelve.


text:
 And all the oxen for the sacrifice of the peace offerings [were] twenty and four bulls, the rams sixty, the male goats sixty, the lambs of the first year sixty. This [was] the dedication of the altar, after it was anointed.


text:
 And when Moses had entered into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking to him from off the mercy seat that [was] upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubim: and he spoke to him.


text:
 Speak to Aaron, and say to him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light opposite the lampstand.


text:
 And this work of the lampstand [was of] beaten gold, to its shaft, to the flowers of it, [was] beaten work: according to the pattern which the LORD had showed Moses, so he made the lampstand.


text:
 And thus shalt thou do to them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and [so] make themselves clean.


text:
 Then let them take a young bull with its meat offering, [even] fine flour mixed with oil, and another young bull shalt thou take for a sin offering.


text:
 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:


text:
 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:


text:
 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD [for] an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD.


text:
 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bulls: and thou shalt offer the one [for] a sin offering, and the other [for] a burnt offering, to the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.


text:
 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them [for] an offering to the LORD.


text:
 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.


text:
 And after that shall the Levites go in to perform the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them [for] an offering.


text:
 For they [are] wholly given to me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, [even instead of] the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them to me.


text:
 For all the firstborn of the children of Israel [are] mine, [both] man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.


text:
 And I have given the Levites [as] a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there may be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come near to the sanctuary.


text:
 And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according to all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel to them.


text:
 And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them [as] an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.


text:
 And after that went the Levites in to perform their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they to them.


text:
 This [is it] that [which pertaineth] to the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:


text:
 And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service [of it], and shall serve no more:


text:
 But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do to the Levites concerning their charge.


text:
 And the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,


text:
 In the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, ye shall keep it in its appointed season: according to all its rites, and according to all its ceremonies, shall ye keep it.


text:
 And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at evening in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.


text:
 And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:


text:
 And those men said to him, We [are] defiled by the dead body of a man: why are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in its appointed season among the children of Israel?


text:
 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or [be] in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover to the LORD.


text:
 The fourteenth day of the second month at evening they shall keep it, [and] eat it with unleavened bread and bitter [herbs].


text:
 They shall leave none of it to the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.


text:
 But the man that [is] clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.


text:
 And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover to the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner of it, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.


text:
 And on the day that the tabernacle was erected the cloud covered the tabernacle, [namely], the tent of the testimony: and at evening there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.


text:
 And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.


text:
 At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they encamped: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.


text:
 And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not.


text:
 And [so] it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.


text:
 And [so] it was, when the cloud abode from evening to the morning, and [that] the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether [it was] by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.


text:
 Or [whether it was] two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining above it, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.


text:
 At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.


text:
 Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.


text:
 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.


text:
 And if they blow [but] with one [trumpet], then the princes, [who are] heads of the thousands of Israel, shall assemble themselves to thee.


text:
 When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.


text:
 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.


text:
 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.


text:
 And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.


text:
 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I [am] the LORD your God.


text:
 And it came to pass on the twentieth [day] of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony.


text:
 And the children of Israel took their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.


text:
 In the first [place] went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies: and over his host [was] Nahshon the son of Amminadab.


text:
 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari moved forward, bearing the tabernacle.


text:
 And the standard of the camp of Reuben moved forward according to their armies: and over his host [was] Elizur the son of Shedeur.


text:
 And the Kohathites moved forward, bearing the sanctuary: and [the other] set up the tabernacle for their coming.


text:
 And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim moved forward according to their armies: and over his host [was] Elishama the son of Ammihud.


text:
 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan moved forward, [which was] the rear guard of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host [was] Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.


text:
 Thus [were] the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they moved forward.


text:
 And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses ' father in law, We are journeying to the place of which the LORD said, I will give it to you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.


text:
 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.


text:
 And it shall be, if thou wilt go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the LORD shall do to us, the same will we do to thee.


text:
 And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days ' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days ' journey, to seek a resting place for them.


text:
 And it came to pass, when the ark moved forward, that Moses said, Arise, LORD, and let thy enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.


text:
 And [when] the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard [it]; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed [them that were] in the uttermost parts of the camp.


text:
 And the mixed multitude that [was] among them fell to lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?


text:
 We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:


text:
 But now our soul [is] dried away: [there is] nothing at all, besides this manna, [before] our eyes.


text:
 [And] the people went about, and gathered [it], and ground [it] in mills, or beat [it] in a mortar, and baked [it] in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.


text:
 Then Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.


text:
 And Moses said to the LORD, Why hast thou afflicted thy servant? and why have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?


text:
 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say to me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the nursing child, to the land which thou sworest to their fathers?


text:
 Where should I get flesh to give to all this people? for they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.


text:
 And if thou dealest thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.


text:
 And the LORD said to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them to the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.


text:
 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the Spirit who [is] upon thee, and will put [it] upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou mayest not bear [it] thyself alone.


text:
 And say thou to the people, Sanctify yourselves for to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for [it was] well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.


text:
 [But] even a whole month, until it shall come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome to you: because ye have despised the LORD who [is] among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?


text:
 And Moses said, The people, among whom I [am], [are] six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.


text:
 Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice for them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice for them?


text:
 And the LORD said to Moses, Is the LORD'S hand shortened? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass to thee or not.


text:
 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the tabernacle.


text:
 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the spirit that [was] upon him, and gave [it] to the seventy elders: and it came to pass, [that], when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.


text:
 But there remained two [of the] men in the camp, the name of the one [was] Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they [were] of them that were recorded, but went not out to the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.


text:
 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, [one] of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.


text:
 And Moses said to him, Enviest thou for my sake? O that all the LORD'S people were prophets, [and] that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!


text:
 And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let [them] fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, around the camp, and as it were two cubits [high] upon the face of the earth.


text:
 And the people stood up all that day, and all [that] night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread [them] all abroad for themselves around the camp.


text:
 And while the flesh [was] yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.


text:
 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.


text:
 And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married: for he had married a Cushite woman.


text:
 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard [it].


text:
 And the LORD spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, Come out ye three to the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.


text:
 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood [in] the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.


text:
 And he said, Hear now my words: If there is a prophet among you, [I] the LORD will make myself known to him in a vision, [and] will speak to him in a dream.


text:
 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: why then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?


text:
 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam [became] leprous, [white] as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, [she was] leprous.


text:
 And Aaron said to Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned.


text:
 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.


text:
 And the LORD said to Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received [again].


text:
 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in [again].


text:
 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.


text:
 And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men [were] heads of the children of Israel.


text:
 These [are] the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.


text:
 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this [way] southward, and go up to the mountain:


text:
 And see the land, what it [is]; and the people that dwell in it, whether they [are] strong or weak, few or many;


text:
 And what the land [is] that they dwell in, whether it [is] good or bad; and what cities [they are] that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;


text:
 And what the land [is], whether it [is] rich or barren, whether there is wood in it, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time [was] the time of the firstripe grapes.


text:
 And they went up by the south, and came to Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, [were]. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)


text:
 And they came to the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a staff; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.


text:
 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from there.


text:
 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.


text:
 And they told him, and said, We came to the land where thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this [is] the fruit of it.


text:
 Nevertheless the people [are] strong that dwell in the land, and the cities [are] walled, [and] very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.


text:
 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the banks of the Jordan.


text:
 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.


text:
 But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they [are] stronger than we.


text:
 And they brought an bad report of the land which they had searched to the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have passed to search it, [is] a land that eateth up its inhabitants; and all the people that we saw in it [are] men of a great stature.


text:
 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, [who come] of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.


text:
 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said to them, O that we had died in the land of Egypt! or if only we had died in this wilderness!


text:
 And why hath the LORD brought us to this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?


text:
 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.


text:
 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, [who were] of them that searched the land, tore their clothes:


text:
 And they spoke to all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, [is] an exceeding good land.


text:
 If the LORD delighteth in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.


text:
 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they [are] bread for us: their defence hast departed from them, and the LORD [is] with us: fear them not.


text:
 But all the congregation said to stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.


text:
 And the LORD said to Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be before they believe me, for all the signs which I have shown among them?


text:
 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.


text:
 And Moses said to the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear [it], (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)


text:
 And they will tell [it] to the inhabitants of this land: [for] they have heard that thou LORD [art] among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and [that] thy cloud standeth over them, and [that] thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.


text:
 Now [if] thou shalt kill [all] this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,


text:
 Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.


text:
 The LORD [is] longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth [generation].


text:
 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.


text:
 Because all those men who have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;


text:
 Surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:


text:
 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into which he went; and his seed shall possess it.


text:
 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn ye, and pass into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.


text:
 How long [shall I bear with] this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.


text:
 Say to them, [As truly as] I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you:


text:
 Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me,


text:
 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, [concerning] which I swore to make you dwell in it, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.


text:
 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.


text:
 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your harlotries, until your dead bodies shall be wasted in the wilderness.


text:
 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, [even] forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, [even] forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.


text:
 I the LORD have said, I will surely do it to all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.


text:
 And the men, whom Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing a slander upon the land,


text:
 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, [who were] of the men that went to search the land, lived [still].


text:
 And they rose early in the morning, and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we [are here], and will go up to the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.


text:
 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites [are] there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.


text:
 But they presumed to go up to the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.


text:
 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and smote them, [even] to Hormah.


text:
 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye shall have come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you,


text:
 And will make an offering by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour to the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock:


text:
 Then shall he that offereth his offering to the LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth part of flour mixed with the fourth [part] of an hin of oil.


text:
 And the fourth [part] of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.


text:
 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare [for] a meat offering two tenth parts of flour mixed with the third [part] of an hin of oil.


text:
 And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third [part] of an hin of wine, [for] a sweet savour to the LORD.


text:
 And when thou preparest a bull [for] a burnt offering, or [for] a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings to the LORD:


text:
 Then shall he bring with a bull a meat offering of three tenth parts of flour mixed with half an hin of oil.


text:
 And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, [for] an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD.


text:
 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.


text:
 All that are born in the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD.


text:
 And if a stranger shall sojourn with you, or whoever shall [be] among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.


text:
 One ordinance [shall be both] for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth [with you], an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye [are], so shall the stranger be before the LORD.


text:
 Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering to the LORD.


text:
 Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough [for] an heave offering: as [ye do] the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye offer it.


text:
 And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken to Moses,


text:
 [Even] all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded [Moses], and henceforward among your generations;


text:
 Then it shall be, if [any thing] shall be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour to the LORD, with its meat offering, and its drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.


text:
 And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it [is] ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire to the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:


text:
 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people [were] in ignorance.


text:
 And if any soul shall sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a female goat of the first year for a sin offering.


text:
 And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.


text:
 Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, [both for] him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.


text:
 But the soul that doeth [any thing] presumptuously, [whether he be] born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.


text:
 Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity [shall be] upon him.


text:
 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.


text:
 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.


text:
 And the LORD said to Moses, The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.


text:
 And all the congregation brought him outside the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.


text:
 Speak to the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes on the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a cord of blue:


text:
 And it shall be to you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go astray:


text:
 I [am] the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I [am] the LORD your God.


text:
 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took [men]:


text:
 And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:


text:
 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, [Ye take] too much upon you, seeing all the congregation [are] holy, every one of them, and the LORD [is] among them: why then do ye raise yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?


text:
 And he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will show who [are] his, and [who is] holy; and will cause [him] to come near to him: even [him] whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near to him.


text:
 And put fire in them, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be [that] the man whom the LORD doth choose, he [shall be] holy: [ye take] too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.


text:
 [Seemeth it but] a small thing to you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them?


text:
 And he hath brought thee near [to him], and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?


text:
 For which cause [both] thou and all thy company [are] gathered together against the LORD: and what [is] Aaron, that ye murmur against him?


text:
 [Is it] a small thing that thou hast brought us out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?


text:
 Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.


text:
 And Moses was very angry, and said to the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them.


text:
 And Moses said to Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:


text:
 And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each [of you] his censer.


text:
 And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense on them, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.


text:
 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the congregation.


text:
 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be angry with all the congregation?


text:
 Speak to the congregation, saying, Withdraw yourselves from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.


text:
 And he spoke to the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.


text:
 So they withdrew from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.


text:
 And Moses said, by this ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for [I have] not [done them] of my own mind.


text:
 If these men shall die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; [then] the LORD hath not sent me.


text:
 But if the LORD shall make a new thing, and the earth shall open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that [appertain] to them, and they go down alive into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.


text:
 And it came to pass, as he had finished speaking all these words, that the ground opened up that [was] under them:


text:
 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that [appertained] to Korah, and all [their] goods.


text:
 They, and all that [appertained] to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.


text:
 And all Israel that [were] around them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up [also].


text:
 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.


text:
 Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.


text:
 The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates [for] a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel.


text:
 And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, which they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad [plates for] a covering of the altar:


text:
 [To be] a memorial to the children of Israel, that no stranger, who [is] not of the seed of Aaron, should come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he may not be as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.


text:
 But on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD.


text:
 And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.


text:
 Remove from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.


text:
 And Moses said to Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire in it from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly to the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.


text:
 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.


text:
 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died about the matter of Korah.


text:
 And Aaron returned to Moses at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.


text:
 Speak to the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of [their] fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod.


text:
 And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod [shall be] for the head of the house of their fathers.


text:
 And thou shalt lay them in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.


text:
 And it shall come to pass, [that] the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, by which they murmur against you.


text:
 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers ' houses, [even] twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron [was] among their rods.


text:
 And it came to pass, that on the next day Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi had budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.


text:
 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD to all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.


text:
 And the LORD said to Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a sign against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.


text:
 And the LORD said to Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.


text:
 And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined to thee, and minister to thee: but thou and thy sons with thee [shall minister] before the tabernacle of witness.


text:
 And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come near the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.


text:
 And they shall be joined to thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come near to you.


text:
 And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.


text:
 And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you [they are] given [as] a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.


text:
 Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's office for every thing of the altar, and within the veil; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office [to you] as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.


text:
 And the LORD spoke to Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of my heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; to thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever.


text:
 This shall be thine of the most holy things, [reserved] from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render to me, [shall be] most holy for thee and for thy sons.


text:
 And this [is] thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them to thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.


text:
 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer to the LORD, them have I given to thee.


text:
 [And] whatever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring to the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat [of] it.


text:
 Every thing that openeth the womb in all flesh, which they bring to the LORD, [whether] of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.


text:
 And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thy estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which [is] twenty gerahs.


text:
 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they [are] holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat [for] an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour to the LORD.


text:
 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to the LORD, have I given to thee, and to thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it [is] a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD to thee and to thy seed with thee.


text:
 And the LORD spoke to Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I [am] thy part and thy inheritance among the children of Israel.


text:
 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, [even] the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.


text:
 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come near the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.


text:
 But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.


text:
 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer [as] an heave offering to the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said to them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.


text:
 Thus speak to the Levites, and say to them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, [even] a tenth [part] of the tithe.


text:
 And [this] your heave offering shall be reckoned to you, as though [it were] the grain of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.


text:
 Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering to the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give of them the LORD'S heave offering to Aaron the priest.


text:
 Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best of it, [even] the hallowed part from it.


text:
 Therefore thou shalt say to them, When ye have offered the best of it, then it shall be counted to the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.


text:
 And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it [is] your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.


text:
 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have offered from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.


text:
 This [is] the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, in which [is] no blemish, [and] upon which never came a yoke:


text:
 And ye shall give her to Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth outside the camp, and [one] shall slay her before his face:


text:
 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:


text:
 And [one] shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:


text:
 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast [it] into the midst of the burning of the heifer.


text:
 Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the evening.


text:
 And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the evening.


text:
 And a man [that is] clean shall gather the ashes of the heifer, and lay [them] outside the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it [is] a purification for sin.


text:
 And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: and it shall be to the children of Israel, and to the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.


text:
 He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he shall not purify himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.


text:
 Whoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness [is] yet upon him.


text:
 This [is] the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that [is] in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.


text:
 And whoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.


text:
 And for an unclean [person] they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be added to them in a vessel:


text:
 And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip [it] in the water, and sprinkle [it] upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:


text:
 And the clean [person] shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening.


text:
 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he [is] unclean.


text:
 And it shall be a perpetual statute to them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until the evening.


text:
 And whatever the unclean [person] toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth [it] shall be unclean until the evening.


text:
 Then came the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.


text:
 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.


text:
 And the people strove with Moses, and spoke, saying, O that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!


text:
 And why have ye brought the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?


text:
 And why have ye made us come up from Egypt, to bring us to this evil place? it [is] no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither [is] there any water to drink.


text:
 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared to them.


text:
 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye to the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth its water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give water to the congregation and their beasts.


text:
 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said to them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?


text:
 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts [also].


text:
 And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.


text:
 This [is] the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.


text:
 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:


text:
 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians afflicted us, and our fathers:


text:
 And when we cried to the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth from Egypt: and, behold, we [are] in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:


text:
 Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink [of] the water of the wells: we will go by the king's highway, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.


text:
 And the children of Israel said to him, We will go by the highway: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without [doing] any thing [else], go through on my feet.


text:
 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.


text:
 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: therefore Israel turned away from him.


text:
 And the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came to mount Hor.


text:
 Aaron shall be gathered to his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.


text:
 And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered [to his people], and shall die there.


text:
 And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up to mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.


text:
 And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there on the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.


text:
 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, [even] all the house of Israel.


text:
 And [when] king Arad the Canaanite, who dwelt in the south, heard that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took [some] of them prisoners.


text:
 And Israel vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.


text:
 And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.


text:
 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to go around the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.


text:
 And the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Why have ye brought us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for [there is] no bread, neither [is there any] water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.


text:
 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many people of Israel died.


text:
 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray to the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.


text:
 And the LORD said to Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.


text:
 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.


text:
 And they journeyed from Oboth, and encamped at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which [is] before Moab, toward the sunrising.


text:
 From there they removed, and encamped on the other side of Arnon, which [is] in the wilderness that cometh out of the borders of the Amorites: for Arnon [is] the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.


text:
 Therefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,


text:
 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.


text:
 And from there [they went] to Beer: that [is] the well of which the LORD spoke to Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.


text:
 The princes searched out the well, the nobles of the people dug it, by [the direction of] the lawgiver, with their staffs. And from the wilderness [they went] to Mattanah:


text:
 And from Bamoth [in] the valley, that [is] in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.


text:
 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink [of] the waters of the well: [but] we will go along by the king's highway, until we have past thy borders.


text:
 And Sihon would not permit Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.


text:
 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon to Jabbok, even to the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon [was] strong.


text:
 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.


text:
 For Heshbon [was] the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even to Arnon.


text:
 Therefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:


text:
 For there hast a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, [and] the lords of the high places of Arnon.


text:
 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity to Sihon king of the Amorites.


text:
 We have shot at them; Heshbon hast perished even to Dibon, and we have laid them waste even to Nophah, which [reacheth] to Medeba.


text:
 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took its villages, and drove out the Amorites that [were] there.


text:
 And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.


text:
 And the LORD said to Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.


text:
 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left to him alive: and they possessed his land.


text:
 And the children of Israel moved forward, and encamped in the plains of Moab on this side of Jordan [by] Jericho.


text:
 And Moab was greatly afraid of the people, because they [were] many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.


text:
 And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all [that are] around us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor [was] king of the Moabites at that time.


text:
 He sent messengers therefore to Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which [is] by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there hast a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide opposite to me:


text:
 Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse for me this people; for they [are] too mighty for me: perhaps I shall prevail, [that] we may smite them, and [that] I may drive them out of the land: for I know that he whom thou blessest [is] blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.


text:
 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak.


text:
 And he said to them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak to me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.


text:
 Behold, [there hast] a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse them for me; perhaps I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.


text:
 And God said to Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they [are] blessed.


text:
 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, Go back to your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you.


text:
 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.


text:
 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming to me:


text:
 For I will promote thee to very great honour, and I will do whatever thou sayest to me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse this people for me.


text:
 And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.


text:
 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say to me more.


text:
 And God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the men come to call thee, rise, [and] go with them; but yet the word which I shall say to thee, that shalt thou perform.


text:
 And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his donkey, and his two servants [were] with him.


text:
 And the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the donkey turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the donkey, to turn her into the way.


text:
 But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall [being] on this side, and a wall on that side.


text:
 And when the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself against the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.


text:
 And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where [was] no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.


text:
 And when the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the donkey with a staff.


text:
 And the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?


text:
 And Balaam said to the donkey, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in my hand, for now would I kill thee.


text:
 And the donkey said to Balaam, [Am] not I thy donkey, upon which thou hast rid ever since [I was] thine to this day? was I ever accustomed to do so to thee? And he said, Nay.


text:
 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.


text:
 And the angel of the LORD said to him, Why hast thou smitten thy donkey these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because [thy] way is perverse before me:


text:
 And the donkey saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.


text:
 And Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will return again.


text:
 And the angel of the LORD said to Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak to thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.


text:
 And when Balak heard that Balaam had come, he went out to meet him to a city of Moab, which [is] in the border of Arnon, which [is] in the utmost border.


text:
 And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not earnestly send to thee to call thee? why camest thou not to me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour?


text:
 And Balaam said to Balak, Lo, I have come to thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.


text:
 And it came to pass on the next morning, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up to the high places of Baal, that from there he might see the utmost [part] of the people.


text:
 And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.


text:
 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on [every] altar a bull and a ram.


text:
 And Balaam said to Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: perhaps the LORD will come to meet me: and whatever he showeth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.


text:
 And God met Balaam: and he said to him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon [every] altar a bull and a ram.


text:
 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, [saying], Come, curse Jacob for me, and come, defy Israel.


text:
 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.


text:
 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth [part] of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!


text:
 And Balak said to Balaam, What hast thou done to me? I took thee to curse my enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed [them] altogether.


text:
 And Balak said to him, Come, I pray thee, with me to another place, from which thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and from there curse them for me.


text:
 And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bull and a ram on [every] altar.


text:
 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, What hath the LORD spoken?


text:
 God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?


text:
 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God [is] with him, and the shout of a king [is] among them.


text:
 Surely [there is] no enchantment against Jacob, neither [is there] any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!


text:
 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he shall eat [of] the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.


text:
 But Balaam answered and said to Balak, Did I not tell thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?


text:
 And Balak said to Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee to another place; perhaps it will please God that thou mayest from there curse them for me.


text:
 And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bulls and seven rams.


text:
 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.


text:
 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding [in his tents] according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.


text:
 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:


text:
 He hath said, who heard the words of God, who saw the vision of the Almighty, falling [into a trance], but having his eyes open:


text:
 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, [and] as cedar trees beside the waters.


text:
 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed [shall be] in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.


text:
 God brought him forth from Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce [them] through with his arrows.


text:
 He crouched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall rouse him? Blessed [is] he that blesseth thee, and cursed [is] he that curseth thee.


text:
 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said to Balaam, I called thee to curse my enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed [them] these three times.


text:
 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee to great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.


text:
 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do [either] good or bad of my own mind; [but] what the LORD saith, that will I speak?


text:
 And now, behold, I go to my people: come [therefore], I will advise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.


text:
 He hath said, who heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, [who] saw the vision of the Almighty, falling [into a trance], but having his eyes open:


text:
 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not near: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.


text:
 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.


text:
 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.


text:
 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek [was] the first of the nations; but his latter end [shall be] that he shall perish for ever.


text:
 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.


text:
 And ships [shall come] from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.


text:
 And they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods: and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.


text:
 And the LORD said to Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD before the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.


text:
 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought to his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who [were] weeping [before] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.


text:
 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw [it], he rose from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;


text:
 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.


text:
 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.


text:
 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, [even] the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.


text:
 Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, [even] that was slain with the Midianitish woman, [was] Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.


text:
 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain [was] Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he [was] head over a people, [and] of a chief house in Midian.


text:
 For they distress you with their wiles, by which they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.


text:
 And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spoke to Moses and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,


text:
 Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, throughout their fathers ' house, all that are able to go to war in Israel.


text:
 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho, saying,

 [Take the sum of the people], from twenty years old and upward; as the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, who went forth from the land of Egypt.

text:

text:
 These [are] they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho.


text:
 But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.


text:
 For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.


text:
 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these [are] the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.


text:
 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, [by] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,


text:
 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.


text:
 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give to us [therefore] a possession among the brethren of our father.


text:
 The daughters of Zelophehad speak [what is] right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.


text:
 And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a man shall die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.


text:
 And if his father shall have no brethren, then ye shall give inheritance to his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be to the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses.


text:
 And the LORD said to Moses, go up to this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.


text:
 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered to thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.


text:
 For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that [is] the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.

 Who may go out before them, and who may go in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.


text:
 And the LORD said to Moses, Take to thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom [is] the spirit, and lay thy hand upon him;


text:
 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.


text:
 And thou shalt put [some] of thy honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.


text:
 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask [counsel] for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, [both] he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.


text:
 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:


text:
 Command the children of Israel, and say to them, My offering, [and] my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, [for] a sweet savour to me, shall ye observe to offer to me in their due season.


text:
 And thou shalt say to them, This [is] the offering made by fire which ye shall offer to the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, [for] a continual burnt offering.


text:
 And a tenth [part] of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mixed with a fourth [part] of an hin of beaten oil.


text:
 [It is] a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire to the LORD.


text:
 And its drink offering [shall be] the fourth [part] of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy [place] shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured to the LORD [for] a drink offering.


text:
 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at evening: as the meat offering of the morning, and as its drink offering, thou shalt offer [it], a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD.


text:
 And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth parts of flour [for] a meat offering, mixed with oil, and its drink offering:


text:
 [This is] the burnt offering of every sabbath, besides the continual burnt offering, and its drink offering.


text:
 And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering to the LORD; two young bulls, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot;


text:
 And three tenth parts of flour [for] a meat offering, mixed with oil, for one bull; and two tenth parts of flour [for] a meat offering, mixed with oil, for one ram;


text:
 And a tenth part of flour mixed with oil [for] a meat offering to one lamb; [for] a burnt offering of a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire to the LORD.


text:
 And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine to a bull, and the third [part] of an hin to a ram, and a fourth [part] of an hin to a lamb: this [is] the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year.


text:
 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering to the LORD shall be offered, besides the continual burnt offering, and its drink offering.


text:
 But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire [for] a burnt offering to the LORD; two young bulls, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first year: they shall be to you without blemish:


text:
 And their meat offering [shall be of] flour mixed with oil: three tenth parts shall ye offer for a bull, and two tenth parts for a ram;


text:
 Ye shall offer these besides the burnt offering in the morning, which [is] for a continual burnt offering.


text:
 After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the food of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD: it shall be offered besides the continual burnt offering, and its drink offering.


text:
 Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat offering to the LORD, after your weeks [are ended], ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work:


text:
 But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour to the LORD; two young bulls, one ram, seven lambs of the first year;


text:
 And their meat offering of flour mixed with oil, three tenth parts to one bull, two tenth parts to one ram,


text:
 Ye shall offer [them] besides the continual burnt offering, and its meat offering, (they shall be to you without blemish) and their drink offerings.


text:
 And in the seventh month, on the first [day] of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets to you.


text:
 And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savour to the LORD; one young bull, one ram, [and] seven lambs of the first year without blemish:


text:
 And their meat offering [shall be of] flour mixed with oil, three tenth parts for a bull, [and] two tenth parts for a ram,


text:
 Besides the burnt offering of the month, and its meat offering, and the daily burnt offering, and its meat offering, and their drink offerings, according to their manner, for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire to the LORD.


text:
 And ye shall have on the tenth [day] of this seventh month an holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: [in it] ye shall not do any work:


text:
 But ye shall offer a burnt offering to the LORD [for] a sweet savour; one young bull, one ram, [and] seven lambs of the first year; they shall be to you without blemish:


text:
 And their meat offering [shall be of] flour mixed with oil, three tenth parts to a bull, [and] two tenth parts to one ram,


text:
 One kid of the goats [for] a sin offering; besides the sin offering of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and its meat offering, and their drink offerings.


text:
 And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast to the LORD seven days:


text:
 And ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD; thirteen young bulls, two rams, [and] fourteen lambs of the first year; they shall be without blemish:


text:
 And their meat offering [shall be of] flour mixed with oil, three tenth parts to every bull of the thirteen bulls, two tenth parts to each ram of the two rams,


text:
 And one kid of the goats [for] a sin offering; besides the continual burnt offering, its meat offering, and its drink offering.


text:
 And on the second day [ye shall offer] twelve young bulls, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without spot:


text:
 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, [shall be] according to their number, after the manner:


text:
 And one kid of the goats [for] a sin offering; besides the continual burnt offering, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings.


text:
 And one goat [for] a sin offering; besides the continual burnt offering, and its meat offering, and its drink offering.


text:
 Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, [shall be] according to their number, after the manner:


text:
 And on the sixth day eight bulls, two rams, [and] fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish:


text:
 And one goat [for] a sin offering; besides the continual burnt offering, its meat offering, and its drink offering.


text:
 And on the seventh day seven bulls, two rams, [and] fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish:


text:
 But ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD: one bull, one ram, seven lambs of the first year without blemish:


text:
 Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bull, for the ram, and for the lambs, [shall be] according to their number, after the manner:


text:
 These [things] ye shall do to the LORD in your set feasts, besides your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your meat offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your peace offerings.


text:
 And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the LORD hath commanded.


text:
 If a man shall vow a vow to the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.


text:
 If a woman also shall vow a vow to the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, [being] in her father's house in her youth;


text:
 And her father shall hear her vow, and her bond by which she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond by which she hath bound her soul shall stand.


text:
 But if her father shall overrule her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds by which she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father overruled her.


text:
 And if she had an husband, when she vowed, or uttered any thing from her lips, by which she bound her soul;


text:
 And her husband heard [it,] and held his peace at her in the day that he heard [it]: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds by which she bound her soul shall stand.


text:
 But if her husband overruled her on the day that he heard [it]; then he shall make of no effect her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, by which she bound her soul: and the LORD shall forgive her.


text:
 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, by which they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.


text:
 And her husband heard [it], and held his peace at her, [and] overruled her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond by which she bound her soul shall stand.


text:
 But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day 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 hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her.


text:
 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.


text:
 But if her husband altogether holds his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which [are] upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard [them].


text:
 But if he shall in any way make them void after that he hath heard [them]; then he shall bear her iniquity.


text:
 These [are] the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, [being yet] in her youth in her father's house.


text:
 And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves for the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD on Midian.


text:
 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of [every] tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.


text:
 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of [every] tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.


text:
 And they slew the kings of Midian, besides the rest of them that were slain; [namely], Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.


text:
 And the children of Israel took [all] the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.


text:
 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, to Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the children of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which [are] by Jordan [near] Jericho.


text:
 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them outside the camp.


text:
 And Moses was angry with the officers of the host, [with] the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, who came from the battle.


text:
 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.


text:
 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.


text:
 And do ye abide outside the camp seven days: whoever hath killed any person, and whoever hath touched any slain, purify [both] yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.


text:
 And purify all [your] raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats ' [hair], and all things made of wood.


text:
 And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle, This [is] the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;


text:
 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make [it] go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.


text:
 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.


text:
 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, [both] of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:


text:
 And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:


text:
 And levy a tribute to the LORD of the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of the cattle, and of the donkeys, and of the sheep:


text:
 And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them to the Levites, who keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.


text:
 And the booty, [being] the rest of the prey which the men of war had taken, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,


text:
 And the half, [which was] the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:


text:
 And the donkeys [were] thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD'S tribute [was] sixty and one.


text:
 And Moses gave the tribute, [which was] the LORD'S heave offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.


text:
 (Now the half [that pertained to] the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand [and] seven thousand and five hundred sheep,


text:
 Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, [both] of man and of beast, and gave them to the Levites, who kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.


text:
 And the officers who [were] over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near to Moses:


text:
 And they said to Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war who [are] under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.


text:
 We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath obtained, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.


text:
 And all the gold of the offering that they offered to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.


text:
 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, [for] a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.


text:
 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place [was] a place for cattle;


text:
 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,


text:
 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,


text:
 [Even] the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, [is] a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:


text:
 Therefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession, [and] bring us not over Jordan.


text:
 And Moses said to the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?


text:
 And why discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?


text:
 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 the LORD had given them.


text:
 Surely none of the men that came up from 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:


text:
 Except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.


text:
 And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.


text:
 And, behold, ye have risen up in your fathers ' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.


text:
 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and he shall destroy all this people.


text:
 And they came near to him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:


text:
 But we ourselves will go ready armed 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.


text:
 We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.


text:
 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of Jordan, or beyond; because our inheritance hath fallen to us on this side of Jordan eastward.


text:
 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,


text:
 And the land shall be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.


text:
 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.


text:
 Build for yourselves cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.


text:
 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.


text:
 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:


text:
 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.


text:
 So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:


text:
 And Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed for battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:


text:
 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.


text:
 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said to thy servants, so will we do.


text:
 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan [may be] ours.


text:
 And Moses gave to them, [even] to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with its cities within the borders, [even] the cities of the surrounding country.


text:
 And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names to the cities which they built.


text:
 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite who [was] in it.


text:
 These [are] the journeys of the children of Israel, who went forth from the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.


text:
 And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these [are] their journeys according to their goings out.


text:
 And they departed 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 an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.


text:
 For the Egyptians buried all [their] firstborn, whom the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.


text:
 And they departed from Etham, and turned again to Pihahiroth, which [is] before Baalzephon: and they encamped before Migdol.


text:
 And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days ' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and encamped in Marah.


text:
 And they departed from Marah, and came to Elim: and in Elim [were] twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees; and they encamped there.


text:
 And they departed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink.


text:
 And Aaron the priest went up to mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel departed from the land of Egypt, in the first [day] of the fifth month.


text:
 And king Arad the Canaanite, who dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.


text:
 And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and encamped in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho.


text:
 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye have passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;


text:
 Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their stone images, and destroy all their molten images, and destroy all their high places:


text:
 And ye shall dispossess [the inhabitants] of the land, and dwell in it: for I have given you the land to possess it.


text:
 And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's [inheritance] shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.


text:
 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those whom ye let remain of them [shall be] pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall trouble you in the land in which ye dwell.


text:
 Command the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this [is] the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, [even] the land of Canaan with its borders:)


text:
 Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the border of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:


text:
 And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: its border shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon:


text:
 And the border shall form a circuit from Azmon to the river of Egypt, and the border of it shall be at the sea.


text:
 And [as for] the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.


text:
 From mount Hor ye shall mark out [your border] to the entrance of Hamath; and the edge of the border shall be at Zedad:


text:
 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the border of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.


text:
 And the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach to the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:


text:
 And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the border of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with its border on all sides.


text:
 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:


text:
 For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received [their inheritance]; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:


text:
 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side of Jordan [near] Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.


text:
 These [are] the names of the men who shall divide the land to you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.


text:
 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.


text:
 These [are they] whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance to the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.


text:
 Command the children of Israel, that they give to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give [also] to the Levites common lands for the cities around them.


text:
 And they shall have the cities to dwell in; and the common lands of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.


text:
 And the common lands of the cities, which ye shall give to the Levites, [shall reach] from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits on all sides.


text:
 And ye shall measure from outside the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city [shall be] in the midst: this shall be to them the common lands of the cities.


text:
 And among the cities which ye shall give to the Levites [there shall be] six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee there: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.


text:
 [So] all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites [shall be] forty and eight cities: them [shall ye give] with their common lands.


text:
 And the cities which ye shall give [shall be] of the possession of the children of Israel: from [them that have] many ye shall give many; but from [them that have] few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities to the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.


text:
 Then ye shall appoint for you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee there, who killeth any person unintentionally.


text:
 And they shall be to you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer may not die, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.


text:
 Ye shall give three cities on this side of Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, [which] shall be cities of refuge.


text:
 These six cities shall be a refuge, [both] for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unintentionally may flee there.


text:
 And if he shall smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he shall die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.


text:
 And if he shall smite him by throwing a stone, by which he may die, and he shall die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.


text:
 Or [if] he shall smite him with an hand weapon of wood, by which he may die, and he shall die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.


text:
 Or in enmity shall smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote [him] shall surely be put to death; [for] he [is] a murderer: the avenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.


text:
 But if he shall thrust him suddenly without enmity, or shall have cast upon him any thing without laying in wait,


text:
 Or with any stone, by which a man may die, seeing [him] not, and shall cast [it] upon him, that he die, and [was] not his enemy, neither sought his harm:


text:
 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the avenger of blood according to these judgments:


text:
 And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, where he had fled: and he shall abide in it to the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.


text:
 But if the slayer shall at any time come outside the border of the city of his refuge, where he had fled;


text:
 And the avenger of blood find him outside the borders of the city of his refuge, and the avenger of blood shall kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:


text:
 Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.


text:
 So these [things] shall be for a statute of judgment to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.


text:
 Whoever killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person [to cause him] to die.


text:
 Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, who [is] guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.


text:
 And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that hath fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.


text:
 So ye shall not pollute the land in which ye [are]: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed in it, but by the blood of him that shed it.


text:
 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, in which I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.


text:
 And the chief fathers of the families 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 chief fathers of the children of Israel:


text:
 And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.


text:
 And if they shall be married to any of the sons of the [other] tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe into which they are received: so it shall be taken from the lot of our inheritance.


text:
 And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put to the inheritance of the tribe into which they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.


text:
 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.


text:
 This [is] the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.


text:
 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel move from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.


text:
 And every daughter, that possesseth 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 enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.


text:
 Neither shall the inheritance move from [one] tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.


text:
 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father's brothers' sons:


text:
 [And] 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.


text:
 These [are] the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho.


text:
 These [are] the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on the east side of Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain opposite Zuph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.


text:
 And it came to pass 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 the LORD had given him in commandment to them;


text:
 After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:


text:
 Turn, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and to all [the places] near to it, in the plain, on the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and to Lebanon, to the great river, the river Euphrates.


text:
 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them.


text:
 The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye [are] this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.


text:
 (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye [are], and bless you, as he hath promised you!)


text:
 Take for yourselves wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.


text:
 So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.


text:
 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [the causes] between your brethren, and judge righteously between [every] man and his brother, and the stranger [that is] with him.


text:
 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; [but] ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment [is] God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring to me, and I will hear it.


text:
 And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.


text:
 And I said to you, Ye have come to the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give to us.


text:
 Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up [and] possess [it], as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said to thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.


text:
 And ye came near to me each one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land for us, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.


text:
 And they turned and went up to the mountain, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.


text:
 And 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 the LORD our God doth give us.


text:
 And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth from the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.


text:
 Where can we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people [are] greater and taller than we; the cities [are] great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.


text:
 The LORD your God who goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;


text:
 And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how the LORD thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.


text:
 Who went in the way before you, to search out for you a place to pitch your tents [in], in fire by night, to show you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.


text:
 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I swore to give to your fathers,


text:
 Except Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath walked upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.


text:
 [But] Joshua the son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he shall go in there: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.


text:
 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in there, and to them will I give it, and they shall possess it.


text:
 Then ye answered and said to me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up to the hill.


text:
 And the LORD said to me, Say to them, Go not up, neither fight; for I [am] not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.


text:
 So I spoke to you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up to the hill.


text:
 And the Amorites, who dwelt on that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, [even] to Hormah.


text:
 And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear to you.


text:
 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spoke to me: and we went around mount Seir many days.


text:
 And command thou the people, saying, Ye [are] to pass through the land of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: therefore take ye good heed to yourselves:


text:
 Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir to Esau [for] a possession.


text:
 Ye shall buy food of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.


text:
 For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God [hath been] with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.


text:
 And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.


text:
 And the LORD said to me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land [for] a possession; because I have given Ar to the children of Lot [for] a possession.


text:
 The Horims also dwelt in Seir in times past; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which the LORD gave to them.


text:
 And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we passed the brook Zered, [was] thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from among the host, as the LORD swore to them.


text:
 For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.


text:
 And [when] thou comest near the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon [any] possession; because I have given it to the children of Lot [for] a possession.


text:
 (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt there in times past; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;


text:
 A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:


text:
 As he did to the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even to this day:


text:
 And the Avims who dwelt in Hazerim, [even] to Azzah, the Caphtorims, who came forth from Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)


text:
 Arise ye, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess [it], and contend with him in battle.


text:
 This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations [that are] under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.


text:
 And I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,


text:
 Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the highway, I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left.


text:
 Thou shalt sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;


text:
 (As the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.


text:
 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as [appeareth] this day.


text:
 And the LORD said to me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.


text:
 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:


text:
 From Aroer, which [is] by the brink of the river of Arnon, and [from] the city that [is] by the river, even to Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all to us:


text:
 Only to the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, [nor] to any place of the river Jabbok, nor to the cities on the mountains, nor to whatever the LORD our God forbad us.


text:
 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.


text:
 And the LORD said to me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.


text:
 So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.


text:
 And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.


text:
 All these cities [were] fortified with high walls, gates, and bars; besides unwalled towns a great number.


text:
 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.


text:
 And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that [was] on this side of Jordan, from the river of Arnon to mount Hermon;


text:
 All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, to Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.


text:
 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead [was] a bedstead of iron; [is] it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits [was] the length of it, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.


text:
 And this land, [which] we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which [is] by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites.


text:
 And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, [being] the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.


text:
 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob to the borders of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own name, Bashanhavothjair, to this day.


text:
 And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even to the river Jabbok, [which is] the border of the children of Ammon;


text:
 The plain also, and Jordan, and the border [of it], from Chinnereth even to the sea of the plain, [even] the salt sea, under Ashdothpisgah eastward.


text:
 And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all [that are] fit for the war.


text:
 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, ([for] I know that ye have many cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have given you;


text:
 Until the LORD shall have given rest to your brethren, as well as to you, and [until] they also possess the land which the LORD your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and [then] shall ye return every man to his possession, which I have given you.


text:
 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thy eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done to these two kings: so shall the LORD do to all the kingdoms where thou passest.


text:
 O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God [is there] in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?


text:
 I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that [is] beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.


text:
 But the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said to me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more to me of this matter.


text:
 Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up thy eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold with thy eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.


text:
 But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.


text:
 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, to the statutes and to the judgments, which I teach you, to do [them], that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.


text:
 Ye shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish [any thing] from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.


text:
 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you.


text:
 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land where ye go to possess it.


text:
 Keep therefore and do [them]; for this [is] your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation [is] a wise and understanding people.


text:
 For what nation [is there so] great, which [hath] God [so] near to them, as the LORD our God [is] in all [things that] we call upon him [for]?


text:
 And what nation [is there so] great, that hath statutes and judgments [so] righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?


text:
 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou shouldest forget the things which thy eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them to thy sons, and thy sons ' sons;


text:
 [Especially] the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said to me, Gather the people to me, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and [that] they may teach their children.


text:
 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.


text:
 And the LORD spoke to you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only [ye heard] a voice.


text:
 And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, [even] ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.


text:
 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land where ye go over to possess it.


text:
 Take ye therefore good heed to yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day [that] the LORD spoke to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:


text:
 Lest ye corrupt [yourselves], and make to you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,


text:
 The likeness of any beast that [is] on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,


text:
 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that [is] in the waters beneath the earth:


text:
 And lest thou shouldest lift up thy eyes to heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, [even] all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided to all nations under the whole heaven.


text:
 But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you out of the iron furnace, [even] from Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as [ye are] this day.


text:
 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not enter that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance:


text:
 But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.


text:
 Take heed to yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, [or] the likeness of any [thing], which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee.


text:
 When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt [yourselves], and make a graven image, [or] the likeness of any [thing], and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger:


text:
 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from the land where ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong [your] days upon it, but shall be utterly destroyed.


text:
 And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, where the LORD shall lead you.


text:
 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.


text:
 But if from there thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find [him], if thou shalt seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.


text:
 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things have come upon thee, [even] in the latter days, if thou shalt turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient to his voice;


text:
 (For the LORD thy God [is] a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he swore to them.


text:
 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and [ask] from the one side of heaven to the other, whether there hath been [any such thing] as this great thing [is], or hath been heard like it?


text:
 Did [ever] people hear the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?


text:
 Or hath God ever tried to go [and] take for himself a nation from the midst of [another] nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?


text:
 To thee it was shown, that thou mightest know that the LORD he [is] God; [there is] none besides him.


text:
 Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he showed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words from the midst of the fire.


text:
 And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out of Egypt; in his sight with his mighty power;


text:
 To drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou [art], to bring thee in, to give thee their land [for] an inheritance, as [it is] this day.


text:
 Know therefore this day, and consider [it] in thy heart, that the LORD he [is] God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: [there is] none else.


text:
 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may be well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong [thy] days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.


text:
 That the slayer might flee there, who should kill his neighbour unintentionally, and when he had not hated him in times past; and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live:


text:
 [Namely], Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.


text:
 These [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spoke to the children of Israel, after they came forth from Egypt,


text:
 On the [east] side of Jordan, in the valley opposite Bethpeor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they had come forth from Egypt:


text:
 And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, who [were] on the side of Jordan toward the sunrising;


text:
 And all the plain on the side of Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.


text:
 And Moses called all Israel, and said to them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.


text:
 The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, [even] us, who [are] all of us here alive this day.


text:
 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up upon the mount;) saying,


text:
 Thou shalt not make for thee [any] graven image, [or] any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] on the earth beneath, or that [is] in the waters beneath the earth:


text:
 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me,


text:
 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold [him] guiltless that taketh his name in vain.


text:
 But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy male servant, nor thy female servant, nor thy ox, nor thy donkey, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates; that thy male servant and thy female servant may rest as well as thou.


text:
 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and [that] the LORD thy God brought thee out from there with a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.


text:
 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may be well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.


text:
 Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or any [thing] that [is] thy neighbour's.


text:
 These words the LORD spoke to all your assembly on the mount from the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them to me.


text:
 And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near to me, [even] all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;


text:
 And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice from the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth.


text:
 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.


text:
 For who [is there of] all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we [have], and lived?


text:
 Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak thou to us all that the LORD our God shall speak to thee; and we will hear [it], and do [it].


text:
 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spoke to me; and the LORD said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoke to thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.


text:
 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!


text:
 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak to thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do [them] in the land which I give them to possess it.


text:
 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.


text:
 Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and [that it may be] well with you, and [that] ye may prolong [your] days in the land which ye shall possess.


text:
 Now these [are] the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye may do [them] in the land where ye go to possess it:


text:
 That thou mayest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.


text:
 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do [it]; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.


text:
 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.


text:
 And thou shalt teach them diligently to thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.


text:
 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thy eyes.


text:
 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he swore to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou didst not build,


text:
 And houses full of all good [things], which thou didst not fill, and dug wells, which thou didst not dig, vineyards and olive trees, which thou didst not plant; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;


text:
 [Then] beware lest thou shouldest forget the LORD, who brought thee forth from the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.


text:
 (For the LORD thy God [is] a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God should be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.


text:
 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.


text:
 And thou shalt do [that which is] right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore to thy fathers,


text:
 [And] when thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, What [mean] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you?


text:
 Then thou shalt say to thy son, We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:


text:
 And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and terrible, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:


text:
 And he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.


text:
 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as [it is] at this day.


text:
 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.


text:
 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land where thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;


text:
 And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, [and] utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them:


text:
 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give to his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take to thy son.


text:
 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.


text:
 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.


text:
 For thou [art] an holy people to the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people to himself, above all people that [are] upon the face of the earth.


text:
 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye [were] the fewest of all people:


text:
 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn to your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.


text:
 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he [is] God, the faithful God, who keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;


text:
 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.


text:
 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.


text:
 Therefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep to thee the covenant and the mercy which he swore to thy fathers:


text:
 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy grain, and thy wine, and thy oil, the increase of thy cattle, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he swore to thy fathers to give thee.


text:
 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.


text:
 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all [them] that hate thee.


text:
 And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver to thee; thy eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that [will be] a snare to thee.


text:
 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: [but] shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt;


text:
 The great temptations which thy eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do to all the people of whom thou art afraid.


text:
 Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, shall be destroyed.


text:
 Thou shalt not be terrified of them: for the LORD thy God [is] among you, a mighty God and terrible.


text:
 And the LORD thy God will drive out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.


text:
 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them to thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they are destroyed.


text:
 And he shall deliver their kings into thy hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou shalt have destroyed them.


text:
 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold [that is] on them, nor take [it] to thee, lest thou shouldest be snared in it: for it [is] an abomination to the LORD thy God.


text:
 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thy house, lest thou shouldest be a cursed thing like it: [but] thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it [is] a cursed thing.


text:
 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers.


text:
 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God hath led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, [and] to test thee, to know what [was] in thy heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or not.


text:
 And he humbled thee, and allowed thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every [word] that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.


text:
 Thou shalt also consider in thy heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, [so] the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.


text:
 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.


text:
 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;


text:
 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil, and honey;


text:
 A land in which thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any [thing] in it; a land whose stones [are] iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.


text:
 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.


text:
 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:


text:
 And [when] thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold are increased, and all that thou hast is increased;


text:
 Then thy heart shall be lifted up, and thou shalt forget the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;


text:
 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, [with its] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where [there was] no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;


text:
 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might test thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;


text:
 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for [it is] he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to thy fathers, as [it is] this day.


text:
 And it shall be, if thou shalt at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.


text:
 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient to the voice of the LORD your God.


text:
 Hear, O Israel: Thou [art] to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fortified up to heaven,


text:
 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and [of whom] thou hast heard [it said], Who can stand before the children of Anak!


text:
 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God [is] he who goeth over before thee; [as] a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said to thee.


text:
 Speak not thou in thy heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.


text:
 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD swore to thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.


text:
 Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou [art] a stiffnecked people.


text:
 Remember, [and] forget not, how thou didst provoke the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart from the land of Egypt, until ye came to this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD.


text:
 Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.


text:
 When I went up to the mount to receive the tables of stone, [even] the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither ate bread nor drank water:


text:
 And the LORD delivered to me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them [was written] according to all the words, which the LORD spoke with you in the mount from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.


text:
 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, [that] the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, [even] the tables of the covenant.


text:
 And the LORD said to me, Arise, go down quickly from here; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted [themselves]; they are quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.


text:
 Furthermore the LORD spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it [is] a stiffnecked people:


text:
 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.


text:
 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant [were] in my two hands.


text:
 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, [and] had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly from the way which the LORD had commanded you.


text:
 And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I neither ate bread, nor drank water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.


text:
 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, with which the LORD was angry with you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened to me at that time also.


text:
 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.


text:
 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, [and] ground [it] very small, [even] until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust of it into the brook that descended from the mount.


text:
 Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.


text:
 Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down [at the first]; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.


text:
 I prayed therefore to the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thy inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.


text:
 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:


text:
 Lest the land from which thou hast brought us should say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.


text:
 Yet they [are] thy people and thy inheritance, which thou hast brought out by thy mighty power and by thy outstretched arm.


text:
 At that time the LORD said to me, Hew thee two tables of stone like the first, and come up to me upon the mount, and make thee an ark of wood.


text:
 And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou didst break, and thou shalt put them in the ark.


text:
 And I made an ark [of] shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like the first, and went up to the mount, having the two tables in my hand.


text:
 And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spoke to you in the mount from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them to me.


text:
 And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are, as the LORD commanded me.


text:
 And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.


text:
 At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.


text:
 Therefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD [is] his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him.


text:
 And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened to me at that time also, [and] the LORD would not destroy thee.


text:
 And the LORD said to me, Arise, take [thy] journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to them.


text:
 And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,


text:
 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?


text:
 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens belongeth to the LORD thy God, the earth [also], with all that is in it.


text:
 Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, [even] you above all people, as [it is] this day.


text:
 For the LORD your God [is] God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, who regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:


text:
 He executeth the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.


text:
 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.


text:
 He [is] thy praise, and he [is] thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thy eyes have seen.


text:
 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.


text:
 Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, always.


text:
 And know ye this day: for [I speak] not with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his outstretched arm,


text:
 And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to all his land;


text:
 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 to overflow them as they pursued after you, and [how] the LORD hath destroyed them to this day;


text:
 And what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that [was] in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:


text:
 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, where ye go to possess it;


text:
 And that ye may prolong [your] days in the land, which the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.


text:
 For the land, where thou goest in to possess it, [is] not as the land of Egypt, from which ye came out, where thou didst sow thy seed, and water [it] with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:


text:
 But the land, where ye go to possess it, [is] a land of hills and valleys, [and] drinketh water of the rain of heaven:


text:
 A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God [are] always upon it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year.


text:
 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently to my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,


text:
 That I will give [you] the rain of your land in its due season, the former rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy grain, and thy wine, and thy oil.


text:
 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;


text:
 And [then] the LORD'S wrath shall be kindled against you, and he shall shut up the heaven, that there shall be no rain, and the land shall not yield its fruit; and [lest] ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.


text:
 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.


text:
 And ye shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.


text:
 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.


text:
 For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave to him;


text:
 Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.


text:
 Every place on which the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the uttermost sea shall your border be.


text:
 There shall no man be able to stand before you: [for] the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said to you.


text:
 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.


text:
 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in to the land where thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.


text:
 [Are] they not on the other side of Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, who dwell in the plain opposite Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?


text:
 For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell in it.


text:
 These [are] the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.


text:
 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, in which the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:


text:
 And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.


text:
 But the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, [even] his habitation shall ye seek, and there thou shalt come:


text:
 And there ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:


text:
 And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand to, ye and your households, in which the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.


text:
 Ye shall not do after all [the things] that we do here this day, every man whatever [is] right in his own eyes.


text:
 But [when] ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and [when] he giveth you rest from all your enemies on every side, so that ye dwell in safety;


text:
 Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; there shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow to the LORD:


text:
 And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your male and female servants, and the Levite that [is] within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.


text:
 But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.


text:
 However thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatever thy soul desireth, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.


text:
 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy grain, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thy hand:


text:
 But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy male servant, and thy female servant, and the Levite that [is] within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands to.


text:
 When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatever thy soul desireth.


text:
 If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there shall be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatever thy soul desireth.


text:
 Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat [of] them alike.


text:
 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood [is] the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.


text:
 Thou shalt not eat it; that it may be well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do [that which is] right in the sight of the LORD.


text:
 Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go to the place which the LORD shall choose:


text:
 And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.


text:
 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may be well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest [that which is] good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.


text:
 When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, where thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;


text:
 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they are destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.


text:
 Thou shalt not do so to the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done to their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.


text:
 If there shall arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and give thee a sign or a wonder,


text:
 And the sign or the wonder shall come to pass, of which he spoke to thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;


text:
 Thou shalt not hearken to the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God testeth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.


text:
 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave to him.


text:
 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn [you] away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou remove the evil from the midst of thee.


text:
 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, who [is] as thy own soul, shall entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;


text:
 [Namely], of the gods of the people who [are] around you, near to thee, or far off from thee, from [one] end of the earth even to the [other] end of the earth;


text:
 Thou shalt not consent to him, nor hearken to him; neither shall thy eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:


text:
 But thou shalt surely kill him; thy hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.


text:
 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he shall die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.


text:
 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.


text:
 If thou shalt hear in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,


text:
 [Certain] men, corrupt men, have gone out from among you, and have seduced the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;


text:
 Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, [if it is] truth, [and] the thing certain, [that] such abomination is wrought among you;


text:
 Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that [is] in it, and its cattle, with the edge of the sword.


text:
 And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of its street, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil, every bit of it, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shalt not be built again.


text:
 And there shall cleave nothing of the cursed thing to thy hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn to thy fathers;


text:
 When thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do [that which is] right in the eyes of the LORD thy God.


text:
 Ye [are] the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.


text:
 For thou [art] an holy people to the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a special people to himself, above all the nations that [are] upon the earth.


text:
 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.


text:
 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, [and] cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.


text:
 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; [therefore] they [are] unclean to you.


text:
 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, [is] unclean to you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.


text:
 Ye shall not eat [of] any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it to the stranger that [is] in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it to an alien: for thou [art] an holy people to the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in his mother's milk.


text:
 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy grain, of thy wine, and of thy oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.


text:
 And if the way is too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; [or] if the place is too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:


text:
 Then shalt thou turn [it] into money, and bind up the money in thy hand, and shalt go to the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:


text:
 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatever thy soul desireth, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thy household,


text:
 And the Levite that [is] within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.


text:
 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thy increase the same year, and shalt lay [it] up within thy gates:


text:
 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou doest.


text:
 And this [is] the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth [any thing] to his neighbour shall release [it]; he shall not exact [it] of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD'S release.


text:
 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact [it again]: but [that] which is thine with thy brother thy hand shall release;


text:
 Except when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance to possess it:


text:
 Only if thou shalt carefully hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.


text:
 For the LORD thy God shall bless thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend to many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.


text:
 If there shall be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD the God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy poor brother:


text:
 But thou shalt open thy hand wide to him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, [in that] which he lacketh.


text:
 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thy eye shall be evil against thy poor brother, and thou shalt give him nothing; and he shall cry to the LORD against thee, and it shall be sin to thee.


text:
 Thou shalt surely give him, and thy heart shall not be grieved when thou givest to him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thy hand to.


text:
 For the poor shall never cease from the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thy hand wide to thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.


text:
 [And] if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, shall be sold to thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.


text:
 Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: [of that] which the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give to him.


text:
 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing this day.


text:
 And it shall be, if he shall say to thee, I will not leave thee; because he loveth thee and thy house, because he is well with thee;


text:
 Then thou shalt take an awl, and thrust [it] through his ear into the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also to thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise.


text:
 It shall not seem hard to thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been of double the worth of a hired servant [to thee], in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.


text:
 All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy herd, nor shear the firstling of thy flock.


text:
 Thou shalt eat [it] before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.


text:
 And if there is [any] blemish in it, [as if it is] lame, or blind, [or hath] any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it to the LORD thy God.


text:
 Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean [person shall eat it] alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.


text:
 Observe the month Abib, and keep the passover to the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth from Egypt by night.


text:
 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover to the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there.


text:
 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread with it, [even] the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth from the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth from the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.


text:
 And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy land seven days; neither shall there [any thing] of the flesh, which thou didst sacrifice the first day at evening, remain all night until the morning.


text:
 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee:


text:
 But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at evening, at the setting of the sun, at the time of thy departure from Egypt.


text:
 And thou shalt roast and eat [it] in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt return in the morning, and go to thy tents.


text:
 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day [shall be] a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt do no work.


text:
 Seven weeks shalt thou number to thee: begin to number the seven weeks from [the time when] thou beginnest [to put] the sickle to the grain.


text:
 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks to the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thy hand, which thou shalt give [to the LORD thy God], according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:


text:
 And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy male, and female servant, and the Levite that [is] within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that [are] among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.


text:
 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a slave in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.


text:
 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy grain and thy wine:


text:
 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy male servant, and thy female servant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that [are] within thy gates.


text:
 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast to the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy increase, and in all the works of thy hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.


text:
 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:


text:
 Every man [shall give] as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.


text:
 Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.


text:
 Thou shalt not pervert judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a bribe: for a bribe doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.


text:
 That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.


text:
 Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near to the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make for thee.


text:
 Thou shalt not sacrifice to the LORD thy God [any] bull, or sheep, in which is blemish, [or] any defect: for that [is] an abomination to the LORD thy God.


text:
 If there shall be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant,


text:
 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;


text:
 And it shall be told thee, and thou hast heard [of it], and enquired diligently, and, behold, [it is] true, [and] the thing certain, [that] such abomination is wrought in Israel:


text:
 Then shalt thou bring forth to thy gates that man or that woman, who have committed that wicked thing, [even] that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.


text:
 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; [but] at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.


text:
 The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt remove the evil from among you.


text:
 If there shall arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, [being] matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and go up to the place which the LORD thy God shall choose;


text:
 And thou shalt come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall show thee the sentence of judgment:


text:
 And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall show thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee:


text:
 According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall show thee, [to] the right hand, nor [to] the left.


text:
 And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken to the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or to the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt remove the evil from Israel.


text:
 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell in it, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that [are] about me;


text:
 Thou shalt surely set [him] king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: [one] from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, who [is] not thy brother.


text:
 But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said to you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.


text:
 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart may turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.


text:
 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of [that which is] before the priests the Levites:


text:
 And it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:


text:
 That his heart may not be lifted above his brethren, and that he may not turn aside from the commandment, [to] the right hand, or [to] the left: to the end that he may prolong [his] days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.


text:
 The priests the Levites, [and] all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.


text:
 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD [is] their inheritance, as he hath said to them.


text:
 And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether ox or sheep; and they shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the stomach.


text:
 The firstfruit [also] of thy grain, of thy wine, and of thy oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.


text:
 For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.


text:
 And if a Levite shall come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind to the place which the LORD shall choose;


text:
 Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites [do], who stand there before the LORD.


text:
 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of their fathers' [estates].


text:
 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.


text:
 There shall not be found among you [any one] that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, [or] that useth divination, [or] an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,


text:
 For all that do these things [are] an abomination to the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.


text:
 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened to observers of times, and to diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not permitted thee so [to do].


text:
 The LORD thy God will raise up to thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like me; to him ye shall hearken;


text:
 According to all that thou didst desire of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I may not die.


text:
 I will raise up to them a Prophet from among their brethren, like thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.


text:
 And it shall come to pass, [that] whoever will not hearken to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require [it] of him.


text:
 But the prophet, who shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.


text:
 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing doth not follow, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.


text:
 When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;


text:
 Thou shalt set apart three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.


text:
 Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the bounds of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee there.


text:
 And this [is] the case of the slayer, who shall flee there, that he may live: Whoever killeth his neighbour unintentionally, whom he hated not in time past;


text:
 As when a man goeth into the forest with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand maketh a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and falleth upon his neighbour, that he dieth; he shall flee to one of these cities, and live:


text:
 Lest the avenger of blood shall pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; though he [was] not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.


text:
 And if the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy land, as he hath sworn to thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give to thy fathers;


text:
 If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, besides these three:


text:
 That innocent blood may not be shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance, and [so] blood be upon thee.


text:
 But if any man shall hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he dieth, and he shall flee into one of these cities:


text:
 Then the elders of his city shall send and bring him from there, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.


text:
 Thy eye shall not pity him, but thou shall remove [the guilt of] innocent blood from Israel, that it may be well with thee.


text:
 Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have set in thy inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.


text:
 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.


text:
 Then both the men, between whom the controversy [is], shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, who shall be in those days;


text:
 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, [if] the witness [is] a false witness, [and] hath testified falsely against his brother;


text:
 Then shall ye do to him, as he had thought to do to his brother: so shalt thou remove the evil from among you.


text:
 And those who remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.


text:
 And thy eye shall not pity; [but] life [shall go] for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.


text:
 When thou goest out to battle against thy enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, [and] a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God [is] with thee, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt.


text:
 And it shall be, when ye are come near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people,


text:
 And shall say to them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day to battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;


text:
 For the LORD your God [is] he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.


text:
 And the officers shall speak to the people, saying, What man [is there] that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he should die in the battle, and another man should dedicate it.


text:
 And what man [is he] that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not [yet] eaten of it? let him [also] go and return to his house, lest he should die in the battle, and another man should eat of it.


text:
 And what man [is there] that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return to his house, lest he should die in battle, and another man should take her.


text:
 And the officers shall speak further to the people, and they shall say, What man [is there that is] fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return to his house, lest his brethren's heart should faint as well as his heart.


text:
 And it shall be, when the officers have finished speaking to the people, that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.


text:
 And it shall be, if it shall make thee answer of peace, and open to thee, then it shall be, [that] all the people [that are] found in it shall be forced labourers to thee, and they shall serve thee.


text:
 And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:


text:
 And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thy hands, thou shalt smite every male of it with the edge of the sword:


text:
 But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, [even] all the spoil of it, shalt thou take to thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thy enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.


text:
 Thus shalt thou do to all the cities [which are] very distant from thee, which [are] not of the cities of these nations.


text:
 But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee [for] an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:


text:
 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; [namely], the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:


text:
 That they may not teach you to do after all their abominations, which they have done to their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God.


text:
 When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees of it by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field [is] man's [life]) to employ [them] in the siege:


text:
 Only the trees which thou knowest that they [are] not trees for food, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it shall be subdued.


text:
 If [one] shall be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, [and] it be not known who hath slain him:


text:
 Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure to the cities which [are] around him that is slain:


text:
 And it shall be, [that] the city [which is] next to the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been worked, [and] which hath not pulled the yoke;


text:
 And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer to a rough valley, which is neither tilled nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley:


text:
 And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister to him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be [tried]:


text:
 And all the elders of that city, [that are] next to the slain [man], shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:


text:
 And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen [it].


text:
 Be merciful, O LORD, to thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood to the charge of thy people Israel. And the blood shall be forgiven them.


text:
 So shalt thou remove the [guilt of] innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do [that which is] right in the sight of the LORD.


text:
 When thou goest forth to war against thy enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thy hands, and thou hast taken them captive,


text:
 And thou seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire to her, that thou wouldest have her for thy wife;


text:
 And she shall put off from her the raiment of her captivity, and shall remain in thy house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in to her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.


text:
 And it shall be, if thou shalt have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go where she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.


text:
 If a man shall have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have borne him children, [both] the beloved and the hated; and [if] the firstborn son be hers that was hated:


text:
 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit [that] which he hath, [that] he may not prefer the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, [which is indeed] the firstborn:


text:
 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated [for] the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he [is] the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn [is] his.


text:
 If a man shall have a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and [who], when they have chastened him, will not hearken to them:


text:
 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out to the elders of his city, and to the gate of his place;


text:
 And they shall say to the elders of his city, This our son [is] stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; [he is] a glutton, and a drunkard.


text:
 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he may die: so shalt thou remove evil from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.


text:
 And if a man shall have committed a sin worthy of death, and he must be put to death, and thou shalt hang him on a tree:


text:
 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt surely bury him that day; (for he that is hanged [is] accursed of God;) that thy land may not be defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance.


text:
 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and without thy help from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again to thy brother.


text:
 And if thy brother shall not [be] near to thee, or if thou shalt not know him, then thou shalt bring it to thy own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother shall seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.


text:
 In like manner shalt thou do with his donkey; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost things of thy brother's, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not without thy help.


text:
 Thou shalt not see thy brother's donkey or his ox fall down by the way, and without thy help from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift [them] up again.


text:
 A woman shall not wear that which pertaineth to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so [are] abomination to the LORD thy God.


text:
 If a bird's nest shall chance to be before thee in the way on any tree, or on the ground, [whether with] young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:


text:
 [But] thou shalt surely let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and [that] thou mayest prolong [thy] days.


text:
 When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a low wall for thy roof, that thou mayest not bring blood upon thy house, if any man shall fall from there.


text:
 Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with two kinds of seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, should be defiled.


text:
 Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, with which thou coverest [thyself].


text:
 And give occasions of speech against her, and bring an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:


text:
 Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth [the tokens of] the damsel's virginity to the elders of the city in the gate:


text:
 And the damsel's father shall say to the elders, I gave my daughter to this man for a wife, and he hateth her;


text:
 And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech [against her], saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these [are the tokens of] my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.


text:
 And they shall fine him an hundred [shekels] of silver, and give [them] to the father of the damsel, because he hath brought an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.


text:
 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she may die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the harlot in her father's house: so shalt thou remove evil from among you.


text:
 If a man shall be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, [both] the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou remove evil from Israel.


text:
 If a damsel [that is] a virgin shall be betrothed to an husband, and a man shall find her in the city, and lie with her;


text:
 Then ye shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they may die; the damsel, because she cried not, [being] in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt remove evil from among you.


text:
 But if a man shall find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man shall force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:


text:
 But to the damsel thou shalt do nothing; [there is] in the damsel no sin [worthy] of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so [is] this matter:


text:
 If a man shall find a damsel [that is] a virgin, who is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;


text:
 Then the man that lay with her shall give to the damsel's father fifty [shekels] of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.


text:
 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.


text:
 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:


text:
 Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth from Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.


text:
 Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken to Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing to thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.


text:
 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he [is] thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.


text:
 The children that are begotten by them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation.


text:
 If there shall be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth to him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:


text:
 But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash [himself] with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp [again].


text:
 And thou shalt have a shovel among thy weapons; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig with it, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:


text:
 For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thy enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he may see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.


text:
 He shall dwell with thee, [even] among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it pleaseth him best: thou shalt not oppress him.


text:
 Thou shalt not bring the hire of an harlot, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these [are] abomination to the LORD thy God.


text:
 Thou shalt not lend upon interest to thy brother; interest of money, interest of food, interest of any thing that is lent upon interest:


text:
 To a stranger thou mayest lend upon interest; but to thy brother thou shalt not lend upon interest: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thy hand to in the land where thou goest to possess it.


text:
 When thou shalt vow a vow to the LORD thy God, thou shalt not defer to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.


text:
 That which is uttered by thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; [even] a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed to the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.


text:
 When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, then thou mayest satisfy thy appetite with grapes at thy own pleasure; but thou shalt not put [any] in thy vessel.


text:
 When thou comest into the standing grain of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the heads with thy hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle to thy neighbour's standing grain.


text:
 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it shall come to pass that she findeth no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give [it] in her hand, and send her out of his house.


text:
 And [if] the latter husband shall hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and give [it] in her hand, and send her out of his house; or if the latter husband shall die, who took her [to be] his wife;


text:
 Her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that [is] abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance.


text:
 When a man hath newly taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: [but] he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he hath taken.


text:
 No man shall take the lower or the upper millstone for a pledge: for he taketh [a man's] life for a pledge.


text:
 If a man shall be found stealing [from] any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and shall make merchandise of him, or sell him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt remove evil from among you.


text:
 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, [so] ye shall observe to do.


text:
 Thou shalt stand outside, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge outside to thee.


text:
 In any case thou shalt deliver to him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness to thee before the LORD thy God.


text:
 Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant [that is] poor and needy, [whether he is] of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that [are] in thy land within thy gates:


text:
 At his day thou shalt give [him] his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he [is] poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he should cry against thee to the LORD, and it be sin to thee.


text:
 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.


text:
 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, [nor] of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment for a pledge:


text:
 But thou shalt remember that thou wast a slave in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee from there: therefore I command thee to do this thing.


text:
 When thou cuttest down thy harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hands.


text:
 When thou beatest thy olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.


text:
 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean [it] afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.


text:
 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a slave in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.


text:
 If there shall be a controversy between men, and they come to judgment, that [the judges] may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.


text:
 And it shall be, if the wicked man [be] worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number.


text:
 Forty stripes he may give him, [and] not exceed: lest, [if] he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile to thee.


text:
 If brethren shall dwell together, and one of them shall die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry outside [the family] to a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in to her, and take her to him for a wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother to her.


text:
 And it shall be, [that] the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother [who is] dead, that his name may not be blotted out from Israel.


text:
 And if the man shall not desire to take his brother's wife, then let his brother's wife go up to the gate to the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up to his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband's brother.


text:
 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him: and [if] he shall stand [to it], and say, I desire not to take her;


text:
 Then shall his brother's wife come to him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done to that man that will not build up his brother's house.


text:
 When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near to deliver her husband from the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:


text:
 [But] thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.


text:
 For all that do such things, [and] all that do unrighteously, [are] an abomination to the LORD thy God.


text:
 How he met thee by the way, and smote those behind thee, [even] all [that were] feeble behind thee, when thou [wast] faint and weary; and he feared not God.


text:
 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thy enemies on all sides, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance to possess it, [that] thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget [it].


text:
 And it shall be, when thou [hast] come in to the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance, and dost possess it, and dwellest in it;


text:
 That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt put [it] in a basket, and shalt go to the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there.


text:
 And thou shalt go to the priest that shall be in those days, and say to him, I profess this day to the LORD thy God, that I have come to the country which the LORD swore to our fathers to give us.


text:
 And the priest shall take the basket from thy hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God.


text:
 And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian ready to perish [was] my father, and he went down to Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:


text:
 And when we cried to the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression:


text:
 And the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:


text:
 And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, [even] a land that floweth with milk and honey.


text:
 And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God:


text:
 And thou shalt rejoice in every good [thing] which the LORD thy God hath given to thee, and to thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that [is] among you.


text:
 When thou hast finished tithing all the tithes of thy increase the third year, [which is] the year of tithing, and hast given [it] to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;


text:
 Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of [my] house, and also have given them to the Levite, and to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten [them]:


text:
 I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I taken away [any] of it for [any] unclean [use], nor given [any] of it for the dead: [but] I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, [and] have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.


text:
 Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou didst swear to our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.


text:
 This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to perform these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.


text:
 Thou hast proclaimed the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken to his voice:


text:
 And the LORD hath proclaimed thee this day to be his special people, as he hath promised thee, and that [thou] shouldest keep all his commandments;


text:
 And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people to the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.


text:
 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day.


text:
 And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan to the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster:


text:
 And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou hast passed over, that thou mayest enter in to the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee.


text:
 Therefore it shall be when ye have gone over Jordan, [that] ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster.


text:
 And there shalt thou build an altar to the LORD thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up [any] iron [tool] upon them.


text:
 Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer on it burnt offerings to the LORD thy God:


text:
 And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God.


text:
 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.


text:
 These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye have come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:


text:
 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.


text:
 Cursed [be] the man that maketh [any] graven or molten image, an abomination to the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth [it] in [a] secret [place]. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.


text:
 Cursed [be] he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.


text:
 Cursed [be] he that lieth with his father's wife; because he uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen.


text:
 Cursed [be] he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.


text:
 Cursed [be] he that confirmeth not [all] the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.


text:
 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently to the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe [and] to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:


text:
 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God.


text:
 Blessed [shall be] the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy cattle, and the flocks of thy sheep.


text:
 The LORD shall cause thy enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.


text:
 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thy hand to; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.


text:
 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people to himself, as he hath sworn to thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.


text:
 And all the people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.


text:
 And the LORD shall make thee to abound in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD swore to thy fathers to give thee.


text:
 The LORD shall open to thee his good treasure, the heaven to give rain to thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thy hand: and thou shalt lend to many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.


text:
 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if thou shalt hearken to the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do [them]:


text:
 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, [to] the right hand, or [to] the left, to go after other gods to serve them.


text:
 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:


text:
 Cursed [shall be] the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy cattle, and the flocks of thy sheep.


text:
 The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thy hand to do, until thou shalt be destroyed, and until thou shalt perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, by which thou hast forsaken me.


text:
 The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave to thee, until he shall have consumed thee from off the land, where thou goest to possess it.


text:
 The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blighting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou dost perish.


text:
 And thy heaven that [is] over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee [shall be] iron.


text:
 The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou art destroyed.


text:
 The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thy enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.


text:
 And thy dead body shall be food to all fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the earth, and no man shall frighten [them] away.


text:
 The LORD will smite thee with the boil of Egypt, and with tumours, and with the scab, and with the itch, of which thou canst not be healed.


text:
 And thou shalt grope at noon, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save [thee].


text:
 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell in it: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes of it.


text:
 Thy ox [shall be] slain before thy eyes, and thou shalt not eat of it: thy donkey [shall be] violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep [shall be] given to thy enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue [them].


text:
 Thy sons and thy daughters [shall be] given to another people, and thy eyes shall look, and fail [with longing] for them all the day long: and [there shall be] no might in thy hand.


text:
 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall be eaten by a nation which thou knowest not; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed always:


text:
 The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with severe boils that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot to the top of thy head.


text:
 The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, to a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.


text:
 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations where the LORD shall lead thee.


text:
 Thou shalt carry much seed into the field, and shalt gather [but] little; for the locust shall consume it.


text:
 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress [them], but shalt neither drink [of] the wine, nor gather [the grapes]; for the worms shall eat them.


text:
 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy land, but thou shalt not anoint [thyself] with the oil; for thy olive shall cast [its fruit].


text:
 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.


text:
 The stranger that [is] within thee shall rise above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.


text:
 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.


text:
 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou art destroyed; because thou didst hearken not to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:


text:
 Because thou didst not serve the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all [things];


text:
 Therefore shalt thou serve thy enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in lack of all [things]: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he hath destroyed thee.


text:
 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, [as swift] as the eagle flieth; a nation whose language thou shalt not understand;


text:
 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favour to the young:


text:
 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou art destroyed: which [also] shall not leave thee [either] grain, wine, or oil, [or] the increase of thy cattle, or flocks of thy sheep, until he hath destroyed thee.


text:
 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fortified walls come down, in which thou didst trust, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.


text:
 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thy own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the distress, by which thy enemies shall distress thee:


text:
 [So that] the man [that is] tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children whom he shall leave:


text:
 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the distress, by which thy enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.


text:
 The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,


text:
 And toward her young one her own offspring, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for lack of all [things] secretly in the siege and distress, by which thy enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.


text:
 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;


text:
 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, [even] great plagues, and of long continuance, and grievous sicknesses, and of long continuance.


text:
 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, of which thou wast afraid; and they shall cleave to thee.


text:
 Also every sickness, and every plague, which [is] not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou art destroyed.


text:
 And ye shall be left few in number, though ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.


text:
 And it shall come to pass, [that] as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land where thou goest to possess it.


text:
 And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even to the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, [even] wood and stone.


text:
 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:


text:
 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have no assurance of thy life:


text:
 In the morning thou shalt say, O that it were evening! and at evening thou shalt say, O that it were morning! for the fear of thy heart which thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thy eyes which thou shalt see.


text:
 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I have said to thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold to your enemies for male and female slaves, and no man shall buy [you].


text:
 These [are] the words of the covenant, which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.


text:
 And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land;


text:
 Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.


text:
 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes did not wear out upon you, and thy shoe did not wear out upon thy foot.


text:
 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I [am] the LORD your God.


text:
 And when ye came to this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us to battle, and we smote them:


text:
 And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.


text:
 Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, [with] all the men of Israel,


text:
 Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that [is] in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood to the drawer of thy water:


text:
 That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day:


text:
 That he may establish thee to day for a people to himself, and [that] he may be to thee a God, as he hath said to thee, and as he hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.


text:
 But with [him] that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with [him] that [is] not here with us this day:


text:
 (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;


text:
 And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which [were] among them:)


text:
 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go [and] serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;


text:
 And it should come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he should bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of my heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:


text:
 The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.


text:
 And the LORD shall single him out for evil from all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:


text:
 So that the generation to come of your children that shall arise after you, and the stranger that shall come from a distant land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;


text:
 [And that] its whole land [is] brimstone, and salt, [and] burning, [that] it is not sown, nor doth it bear, nor doth any grass grow in it, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:


text:
 Even all the nations shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus to this land? what [meaneth] the heat of this great anger?


text:
 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth from the land of Egypt:


text:
 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods which they knew not, and [which] he had not given to them:


text:
 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:


text:
 And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as [it is] this day.


text:
 The secret [things belong] to the LORD our God: but those [things which are] revealed [belong] to us and to our children for ever, that [we] may do all the words of this law.


text:
 And it shall come to pass, when all these things have come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call [them] to mind among all the nations, where the LORD thy God hath driven thee,


text:
 And shalt return to the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul;


text:
 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, where the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.


text:
 If [any] of thine shall be driven out to the outmost [parts] of heaven, from there will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from there will he bring thee:


text:
 And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.


text:
 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.


text:
 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thy enemies, and on them that hate thee, who persecuted thee.


text:
 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.


text:
 And the LORD thy God will make thee to abound in every work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:


text:
 If thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, [and] if thou shalt turn to the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.


text:
 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it [is] not hid from thee, neither [is] it far off.


text:
 It [is] not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it to us, that we may hear it, and do it?


text:
 Neither [is] it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, that we may hear it, and do it?


text:
 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land where thou goest to possess it.


text:
 But if thy heart shall turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;


text:
 I declare to you this day, that ye shall surely perish, [and that] ye shall not prolong [your] days upon the land, where thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.


text:
 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:


text:
 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, [and] that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave to him: for he [is] thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD swore to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.


text:
 And he said to them, I [am] an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath said to me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.


text:
 The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, [and] he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: [and] Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.


text:
 And the LORD shall do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and to the land of them, whom he destroyed.


text:
 And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may do to them according to all the commandments which I have commanded you.


text:
 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he [it is] that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.


text:
 And Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people to the land which the LORD hath sworn to their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.


text:
 And the LORD, he [it is] that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.


text:
 And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and to all the elders of Israel.


text:
 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of [every] seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,


text:
 When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.


text:
 Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that [is] within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:


text:
 And [that] their children, who have not known [any thing], may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land where ye go over Jordan to possess it.


text:
 And the LORD said to Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.


text:
 And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.


text:
 And the LORD said to Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and play the harlot with the gods of the strangers of the land, where they go [to be] among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.


text:
 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Have not these evils come upon us, because our God [is] not among us?


text:
 And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned to other gods.


text:
 Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it to the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.


text:
 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and grew fat; then will they turn to other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.


text:
 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles have befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they frame, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I swore.


text:
 And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them: and I will be with thee.


text:
 And it came to pass, when Moses had finished writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,


text:
 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.


text:
 For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?


text:
 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.


text:
 For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt [yourselves], and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.


text:
 And Moses spoke in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.


text:
 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:


text:
 [He is] the Rock, his work [is] perfect: for all his ways [are] judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right [is] he.


text:
 They have corrupted themselves, their spot [is] not [the spot] of his children: [they are] a perverse and crooked generation.


text:
 Do ye thus repay the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? [is] not he thy father [that] hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?


text:
 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.


text:
 When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.


text:
 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.


text:
 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:


text:
 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;


text:
 Butter of cattle, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.


text:
 But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked: thou hast become fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered [with fatness]; then he forsook God [who] made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.


text:
 They sacrificed to demons, not to God; to gods which they knew not, to new [gods that] came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.


text:
 And when the LORD saw [it], he abhorred [them], because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.


text:
 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end [shall be]: for they [are] a very perverse generation, children in whom [is] no faith.


text:
 They have moved me to jealousy with [that which is] not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with [those who are] not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.


text:
 For a fire is kindled in my anger, and shall burn to the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.


text:
 [They shall be] burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.


text:
 The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling [also] with the man of gray hairs.


text:
 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:


text:
 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, [and] lest they should say, Our hand [is] high, and the LORD hath not done all this.


text:
 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?


text:
 For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes [are] grapes of gall, their clusters [are] bitter:


text:
 To me [belongeth] vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in [due] time: for the day of their calamity [is] at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.


text:
 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent for his servants, when he seeth that [their] power is gone, and [there is] none shut up, or left.


text:
 Which ate the fat of their sacrifices, [and] drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, [and] be your protection.


text:
 See now that I, [even] I, [am] he, and [there is] no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither [is there any] that can deliver out of my hand.


text:
 If I shall whet my glittering sword, and my hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my enemies, and will reward them that hate me.


text:
 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; [and that] with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.


text:
 Rejoice, O ye nations, [with] his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful to his land, [and] to his people.


text:
 And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.


text:
 And he said to them, Set your hearts to all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.


text:
 For it [is] not a vain thing for you; because it [is] your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong [your] days in the land, where ye go over Jordan to possess it.


text:
 Go up to this mountain Abarim, [to] mount Nebo, which [is] in the land of Moab, that [is] opposite Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a possession:


text:
 And die in the mount where thou goest, and be gathered to thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered to his people:


text:
 Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.


text:
 Yet thou shalt see the land before [thee]; but thou shalt not go there to the land which I give the children of Israel.


text:
 And this [is] the blessing, with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.


text:
 And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir to them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand [went] a fiery law for them.


text:
 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints [are] in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; [every one] shall receive of thy words.


text:
 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people [and] the tribes of Israel were gathered together.


text:
 And this [is the blessing] of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him to his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help [to him] from his enemies.


text:
 And of Levi he said, [Let] thy Thummim and thy Urim [be] with thy holy one, whom thou didst tempt at Massah, [and with] whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;


text:
 Who said to his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor know his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.


text:
 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thy altar.


text:
 Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.


text:
 [And] of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; [and the LORD] shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.


text:
 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD [be] his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,


text:
 And for the precious fruits [brought forth] by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,


text:
 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,


text:
 And for the precious things of the earth and fulness of it, and [for] the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let [the blessing] come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him [that was] separated from his brethren.


text:
 His glory [is like] the firstborn bull, and his horns [are like] the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they [are] the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they [are] the thousands of Manasseh.


text:
 They shall call the people to the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck [of] the abundance of the seas, and [of] treasures hid in the sand.


text:
 And of Gad he said, Blessed [be] he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head.


text:
 And he provided the first part for himself, because there, [in] a portion of the lawgiver, [was he] seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel.


text:
 And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south.


text:
 And of Asher he said, [Let] Asher [be] blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.


text:
 [There is] none like the God of Jeshurun, [who] rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.


text:
 The eternal God [is thy] refuge, and underneath [are] the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy [them].


text:
 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob [shall be] upon a land of grain and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.


text:
 Happy [art] thou, O Israel: who [is] like thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who [is] the sword of thy excellency! and thy enemies shall be found liars to thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.


text:
 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab upon the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that [is] opposite Jericho. And the LORD showed him all the land of Gilead, to Dan,


text:
 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, to the utmost sea,


text:
 And the LORD said to him, This [is] the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, I will give it to thy seed: I have caused thee to see [it] with thy eyes, but thou shalt not go over there.


text:
 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.


text:
 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre to this day.


text:
 And Moses [was] an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.


text:
 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping [and] mourning for Moses were ended.


text:
 And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened to him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.


text:
 In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,


text:
 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses showed in the sight of all Israel.


text:
 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses ' minister, saying,


text:
 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, to the land which I do give to them, [even] to the children of Israel.


text:
 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given to you, as I said to Moses.


text:
 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the great sea toward the setting of the sun, shall be your land.


text:
 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, [so] I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.


text:
 Be strong and of a good courage: for to this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I swore to their fathers to give them.


text:
 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it [to] the right hand or [to] the left, that thou mayest prosper wherever thou goest.


text:
 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate in it day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written in it: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.


text:
 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God [is] with thee wherever thou goest.


text:
 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare provisions; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.


text:
 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spoke Joshua, saying,


text:
 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.


text:
 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;


text:
 Until the LORD shall have given your brethren rest, as [he hath given] you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return to the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant gave you on this side of Jordan toward the sunrising.


text:
 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and wherever thou sendest us, we will go.


text:
 According as we hearkened to Moses in all things, so will we hearken to thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.


text:
 Every one that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken to thy words in all that thou commandest him, shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.


text:
 And Joshua the son of Nun sent from Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.


text:
 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in here to night of the children of Israel to search out the country.


text:
 And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that have come to thee, who have entered into thy house: for they have come to search out all the country.


text:
 And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men to me, but I knew not where they [were]:


text:
 And it came to pass [about the time] of shutting the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: where the men went I know not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.


text:
 But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.


text:
 And the men pursued them the way to Jordan to the fords: and as soon as they who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.


text:
 And she said to the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror hath fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.


text:
 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did to the two kings of the Amorites, that [were] on the other side of Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.


text:
 And as soon as we had heard [these things], our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he [is] God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.


text:
 Now therefore, I pray you, swear to me by the LORD, since I have showed you kindness, that ye will also show kindness to my father's house, and give me a true token:


text:
 And [that] ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.


text:
 And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.


text:
 Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house [was] upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.


text:
 And she said to them, Depart to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned: and afterward ye may go your way.


text:
 Behold, [when] we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window by which thou didst let us down: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home to thee.


text:
 And it shall be, [that] whoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood [shall be] upon his head, and we [will be] guiltless: and whoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood [shall be] on our head, if [any] hand be upon him.


text:
 And if thou shalt utter this our business, then we will be free of thy oath which thou hast made us to swear.


text:
 And she said, According to your words, so [be] it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.


text:
 And they went, and came to the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers had returned: and the pursuers sought [them] throughout all the way, but found [them] not.


text:
 So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all [things] that befell them:


text:
 And they said to Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.


text:
 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they departed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.


text:
 And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.


text:
 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near to it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed [this] way before.


text:
 And Joshua said to the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.


text:
 And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.


text:
 And the LORD said to Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, [so] I will be with thee.


text:
 And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye have come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.


text:
 And Joshua said, By this ye shall know that the living God [is] among you, and [that] he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.


text:
 Now therefore take for yourselves twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.


text:
 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, [that] the waters of Jordan shall be cut off [from] the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand in an heap.


text:
 And it came to pass, when the people departed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;


text:
 And as they that bore the ark had come to Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bore the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all its banks all the time of harvest,)


text:
 That the waters which came down from above stood [and] rose up in an heap very far from the city Adam, that [is] beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, [even] the salt sea, failed, [and] were cut off: and the people passed over opposite Jericho.


text:
 And the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people had finished crossing the Jordan.


text:
 And it came to pass, when all the people had finished crossing the Jordan, that the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying,


text:
 And command ye them, saying, Take for yourselves from here out of the midst of Jordan, from the place where the priests ' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night.


text:
 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, of every tribe a man:


text:
 And Joshua said to them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take ye up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel:


text:
 That this may be a sign among you, [that] when your children ask [their fathers] in time to come, saying, What [mean] ye by these stones?


text:
 Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel for ever.


text:
 And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones from the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spoke Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.


text:
 And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there to this day.


text:
 For the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until every thing was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.


text:
 And it came to pass, when all the people had finished crossing, that the ark of the LORD passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.


text:
 And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses directed them:


text:
 About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD to battle, to the plains of Jericho.


text:
 On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.


text:
 And it came to pass, when the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD had come up out of the midst of Jordan, [and] the soles of the priests ' feet were lifted up upon the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned to their place, and flowed over all its banks, as [they did] before.


text:
 And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth [day] of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.


text:
 And he spoke to the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What [mean] these stones?


text:
 For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye had passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had gone over:


text:
 That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it [is] mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever.


text:
 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, who [were] on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who [were] by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we had passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.


text:
 At that time the LORD said to Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.


text:
 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.


text:
 And this [is] the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, [that were] males, [even] all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.


text:
 Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people [that were] born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth from Egypt, [them] they had not circumcised.


text:
 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people [that were] men of war, who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: to whom the LORD swore that he would not show them the land, which the LORD swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.


text:
 And their children, [whom] he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.


text:
 And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were healed.


text:
 And the LORD said to Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.


text:
 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.


text:
 And they ate of the old grain of the land on the next day after the passover, unleavened cakes, and roasted [grain] in the same day.


text:
 And the manna ceased on the next day after they had eaten of the old grain of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.


text:
 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went to him, and said to him, [Art] thou for us, or for our adversaries?


text:
 And he said, Nay; but [as] captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said to him, What saith my lord to his servant?


text:
 And the captain of the LORD'S host said to Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place on which thou standest [is] holy. And Joshua did so.


text:
 Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.


text:
 And the LORD said to Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and its king, [and] the mighty men of valour.


text:
 And ye shall march around the city, all [ye] men of war, [and] go round the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.


text:
 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.


text:
 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long [blast] with the ram's horn, [and] when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him.


text:
 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD.


text:
 And he said to the people, Pass on, and march around the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.


text:
 And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.


text:
 And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, [the priests] going on, and blowing with the trumpets.


text:
 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall [any] word proceed from your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.


text:
 So the ark of the LORD went around the city, going about [it] once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.


text:
 And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rear guard came after the ark of the LORD, [the priests] going on, and blowing with the trumpets.


text:
 And the second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.


text:
 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they marched around the city seven times.


text:
 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.


text:
 And the city shall be accursed, [even] it, and all that [are] in it, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that [are] with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.


text:
 And ye, in every way keep [yourselves] from the accursed thing, lest ye make [yourselves] accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.


text:
 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, [are] consecrated to the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.


text:
 So the people shouted when [the priests] blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.


text:
 And they utterly destroyed all that [was] in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.


text:
 But Joshua had said to the two men that spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out from there the woman, and all that she hath, as ye swore to her.


text:
 And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them outside the camp of Israel.


text:
 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that [was] in it: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.


text:
 And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel [even] to this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.


text:
 And Joshua charged [them] at that time, saying, Cursed [be] the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay its foundation in his firstborn, and in his youngest [son] shall he set up the gates of it.


text:
 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.


text:
 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which [is] beside Bethaven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.


text:
 And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; [and] make not all the people to labour there; for they [are but] few.


text:
 So there went up there from the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.


text:
 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them [from] before the gate [even] to Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: therefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.


text:
 And Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.


text:
 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, why hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? O that we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of Jordan!


text:
 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear [of it], and shall surround us, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do to thy great name?


text:
 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and deceived also, and they have put [it] even among their own goods.


text:
 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, [but] turned [their] backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.


text:
 Rise, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves for to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, [There is] an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thy enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.


text:
 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, [that] the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come according to their families; and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man.


text:
 And it shall be, [that] he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.


text:
 So Joshua rose early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:


text:
 And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:


text:
 And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.


text:
 And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession to him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide [it] not from me.


text:
 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:


text:
 When I saw among the spoils a beautiful Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they [are] hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.


text:
 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and, behold, [it was] hid in his tent, and the silver under it.


text:
 And they took them from the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua, and to all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD.


text:
 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his donkeys, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them to the valley of Achor.


text:
 And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.


text:
 And they raised over him a great heap of stones to this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, to this day.


text:
 And the LORD said to Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:


text:
 And thou shalt do to Ai and its king as thou didst to Jericho and its king: only its spoil, and its cattle, shall ye take for a prey to yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it.


text:
 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them away by night.


text:
 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, [even] behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:


text:
 And I, and all the people that [are] with me, will approach to the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,


text:
 (For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we will flee before them.


text:
 Then ye shall rise from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.


text:
 And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, [that] ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.


text:
 Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.


text:
 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.


text:
 And all the people, [even the people] of war that [were] with him, went up, and drew near, and came before the city, and encamped on the north side of Ai: now [there was] a valley between them and Ai.


text:
 And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.


text:
 And when they had set the people, [even] all the host that [was] on the north of the city, and their ones lying in ambush on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.


text:
 And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw [it], that they hasted and rose early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain; but he knew not that [there were] liers in ambush against him behind the city.


text:
 And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.


text:
 And all the people that [were] in Ai were called together to pursue them: and they pursued Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.


text:
 And there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, that went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued Israel.


text:
 And the LORD said to Joshua, Stretch out the spear that [is] in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thy hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that [he had] in his hand toward the city.


text:
 And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire.


text:
 And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.


text:
 And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.


text:
 And the other issued out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.


text:
 And it came to pass, when Israel had finished slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness in which they chased them, and when they had all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.


text:
 And [so] it was, [that] all that fell that day, both of men and women, [were] twelve thousand, [even] all the men of Ai.


text:
 For Joshua drew not his hand back, with which he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.


text:
 Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey to themselves, according to the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua.


text:
 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until evening: and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his body down from the tree, and cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raise over it a great heap of stones, [that remaineth] to this day.


text:
 As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lifted up [any] iron: and they offered on it burnt offerings to the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.


text:
 And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.


text:
 And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side of the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them opposite mount Gerizim, and half of them opposite mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.


text:
 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.


text:
 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.


text:
 And it came to pass, when all the kings who [were] on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea opposite Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard [these things];


text:
 They also worked deceitfully, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their donkeys, and wine bottles, old, and torn, and bound up;


text:
 And old and patched shoes upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry [and] mouldy.


text:
 And they went to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, and said to him, and to the men of Israel, We have come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us.


text:
 And the men of Israel said to the Hivites, Perhaps ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?


text:
 And they said to Joshua, We [are] thy servants. And Joshua said to them, Who [are] ye? and where did you come from?


text:
 And they said to him, From a very far country thy servants have come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,


text:
 And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that [were] beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who [was] at Ashtaroth.


text:
 Therefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, Take provisions with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, We [are] your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us.


text:
 This our bread we took hot [for] our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go to you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy:


text:
 And these bottles of wine, which we filled, [were] new; and, behold, they are torn: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey.


text:
 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation swore to them.


text:
 And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they [were] their neighbours, and [that] they dwelt among them.


text:
 And the children of Israel journeyed, and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities [were] Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjathjearim.


text:
 And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn to them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.


text:
 But all the princes said to all the congregation, We have sworn to them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.


text:
 This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we swore to them.


text:
 And the princes said to them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation; as the princes had promised them.


text:
 And Joshua called for them, and he spoke to them, saying, Why have ye deceived us, saying, We [are] very far from you; when ye dwell among us?


text:
 Now therefore ye [are] cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being slaves, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.


text:
 And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were greatly afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.


text:
 And so did he to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.


text:
 And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even to this day, in the place which he should choose.


text:
 Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;


text:
 That they feared greatly, because Gibeon [was] a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it [was] greater than Ai, and all its men [were] mighty.


text:
 Therefore Adonizedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, and to Piram king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,


text:
 Come up to me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.


text:
 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.


text:
 And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, saying, Do not forsake thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.


text:
 So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.


text:
 And the LORD said to Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.


text:
 And the LORD destroyed them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and to Makkedah.


text:
 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, [and] were in the descent to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them to Azekah, and they died: [they were] more who died with hailstones than [they] whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.


text:
 Then spoke Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.


text:
 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. [Is] not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.


text:
 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened to the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.


text:
 And stay you not, [but] pursue your enemies, and smite the rear of them; permit them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.


text:
 And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had finished slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest [who] remained of them entered into fortified cities.


text:
 And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.


text:
 And they did so, and brought those five kings to him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, [and] the king of Eglon.


text:
 And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the captains of the men of war who went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.


text:
 And Joshua said to them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.


text:
 And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.


text:
 And it came to pass at the time of the setting of the sun, [that] Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees, and cast them into the cave in which they had been hid, and laid great stones upon the cave's mouth, [which remain] until this very day.


text:
 And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and its king he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that [were] in it; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did to the king of Jericho.


text:
 And the LORD delivered it also, and its king, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that [were] in it; he let none remain in it; but did to its king as he did to the king of Jericho.


text:
 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:


text:
 And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, who took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that [were] in it, according to all that he had done to Libnah.


text:
 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.


text:
 And from Lachish Joshua passed to Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:


text:
 And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that [were] in it he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.


text:
 And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and its king, and all its cities and all the souls that [were] in them; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that [were] in it.


text:
 And he took it, and its king, and all its cities; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that [were] in them; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to its king; as he had done also to Libnah, and to its king.


text:
 So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.


text:
 And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon.


text:
 And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.


text:
 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard [those things], that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king Achshaph,


text:
 And to the kings that [were] on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west,


text:
 [And to] the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and [to] the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and [to] the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.


text:
 And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, many people, even as the sand that [is] upon the sea shore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots.


text:
 And when all these kings were met together, they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.


text:
 And the LORD said to Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hamstring their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.


text:
 So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.


text:
 And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them to great Zidon, and to Misrephothmaim, and to the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left to them none remaining.


text:
 And Joshua did to them as the LORD bade him: he hamstrung their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.


text:
 And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote its king with the sword: for Hazor in times past was the head of all those kingdoms.


text:
 And they smote all the souls that [were] in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying [them]: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.


text:
 And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, Joshua took, and smote them with the edge of the sword, [and] he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.


text:
 But [as for] the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only; [that] did Joshua burn.


text:
 And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey to themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.


text:
 As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses.


text:
 So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same;


text:
 [Even] from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even to Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.


text:
 There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, except the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all [other] they took in battle.


text:
 For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, [and] that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses.


text:
 And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.


text:
 There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained.


text:
 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD said to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.


text:
 Now these [are] the kings of the land, whom the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side of Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon to mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:


text:
 Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, [and] ruled from Aroer, which [is] upon the bank of the river Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and half Gilead, even to the river Jabbok, [which is] the border of the children of Ammon;


text:
 And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and to the sea of the plain, [even] the salt sea on the east, the way to Bethjeshimoth; and from the south, under Ashdothpisgah:


text:
 And the land of Og king of Bashan, [who was] of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,


text:
 And reigned in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.


text:
 Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it [for] a possession to the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.


text:
 And these [are] the kings of the country whom Joshua and the children of Israel smote on this side of Jordan on the west, from Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon even to the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir; which Joshua gave to the tribes of Israel [for] a possession according to their divisions;


text:
 In the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and in the springs, and in the wilderness, and in the south country; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites:


text:
 Now Joshua was old [and] advanced in years; and the LORD said to him, Thou art old [and] advanced in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.


text:
 From Sihor, which [is] before Egypt, even to the borders of Ekron northward, [which] is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites:


text:
 From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that [is] beside the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites:


text:
 And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon to the entrance into Hamath.


text:
 And the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephothmaim, [and] all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot to the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.


text:
 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,


text:
 With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, [even] as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them;


text:
 From Aroer, that [is] upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that [is] in the midst of the river, and all the plain of Medeba to Dibon;


text:
 And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the children of Ammon;


text:
 And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salcah;


text:
 All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for these did Moses smite, and cast them out.


text:
 Nevertheless the children of Israel drove not out the Geshurites, nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.


text:
 Only to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance; the sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire [are] their inheritance, as he said to them.


text:
 And their land was from Aroer, that [is] on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that [is] in the midst of the river, and all the plain by Medeba;


text:
 And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, [who were] chiefs of Sihon, dwelling in the country.


text:
 Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them.


text:
 And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and its border. This [was] the inheritance of the children of Reuben after their families, the cities and their villages.


text:
 And Moses gave [inheritance] to the tribe of Gad, [even] to the children of Gad according to their families.


text:
 And their land was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer that [is] before Rabbah;


text:
 And in the valley, Betharam, and Bethnimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and [its] border, [even] to the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other side of Jordan eastward.


text:
 This [is] the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families, the cities, and their villages.


text:
 And Moses gave [inheritance] to the half tribe of Manasseh: and [this] was [the possession] of the half tribe of the children of Manasseh by their families.


text:
 And their land was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which [are] in Bashan, sixty cities:


text:
 And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, [went] to the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, [even] to the one half of the children of Machir by their families.


text:
 These [are the countries] which Moses distributed for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side of Jordan, by Jericho, eastward.


text:
 But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave not [any] inheritance: the LORD God of Israel [was] their inheritance, as he said to them.


text:
 And these [are the countries] which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance to them.


text:
 By lot [was] their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and [for] the half tribe.


text:
 For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe on the other side of Jordan: but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.


text:
 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell [in], with their common lands for their cattle and for their substance.


text:
 Then the children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said to him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said to Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea.


text:
 Forty years old [was] I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to spy the land; and I brought him word again as [it was] in my heart.


text:
 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.


text:
 And Moses swore on that day, saying, Surely the land on which thy feet have trodden shall be thy inheritance, and thy children's for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God.


text:
 And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD spoke this word to Moses, while [the children of] Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I [am] this day eighty and five years old.


text:
 As yet I [am as] strong this day as [I was] in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength [was] then, even so [is] my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.


text:
 Now therefore give me this mountain, of which the LORD spoke in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims [were] there, and [that] the cities [were] great [and] fortified: if the LORD [will be] with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.


text:
 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite to this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.


text:
 And the name of Hebron before [was] Kirjatharba; [which Arba was] a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.


text:
 [This] then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; [even] to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward [was] the uttermost part of the south border.


text:
 And it went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended on the south side to Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and turned about to Karkaa:


text:
 [From there] it passed toward Azmon, and went out to the river of Egypt; and the ends of that border were at the sea: this shall be your south border.


text:
 And the east border [was] the salt sea, [even] to the end of Jordan. And [their] border in the north quarter [was] from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan:


text:
 And the border went up to Bethhogla, and passed along by the north of Betharabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:


text:
 And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that [is] before the ascent of Adummim, which [is] on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh, and the borders of it were at Enrogel:


text:
 And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the south side of the Jebusite; the same [is] Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that [lieth] before the valley of Hinnom westward, which [is] at the end of the valley of the giants northward:


text:
 And the border extended from the top of the hill to the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border extended to Baalah, which [is] Kirjathjearim:


text:
 And the border turned from Baalah westward to mount Seir, and passed along to the side of mount Jearim, which [is] Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah:


text:
 And the border went out to the side of Ekron northward: and the border extended to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out to Jabneel; and the ends of the border were at the sea.


text:
 And the west border [was] to the great sea, and its coast. This [is] the border of the children of Judah all around according to their families.
