Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and judgments that I am teaching you to observe, so that you may live and enter to take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your ancestors, is giving to you.

Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.

Do not add to the command that I am giving you, and do not take away from it, so that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God that I am commanding you.

Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

Your eyes have seen what the LORD did at Baal Peor; for every man who followed Baal Peor, the LORD your God destroyed him from among you.

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.

But all of you who held fast to the LORD your God are alive today.

But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.

See, I have taught you statutes and judgments just as the LORD my God commanded me, so that you may act according to them in the land you are entering to possess.

Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.

You must keep and do them, for this will show your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the nations, who will hear about all these statutes and say, 'Indeed, this great nation is a wise and understanding people.'

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.

For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as the LORD our God is to us whenever we call on Him?

For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?

And what great nation has righteous statutes and judgments like this entire law that I am setting before you today?

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?

Only be careful and guard your soul diligently, so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen, and so that they do not depart from your heart all the days of your life. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.

Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;

Remember the day you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, when the LORD said to me, 'Assemble the people for Me, and I will let them hear My words, so that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and to teach them to their children.'

Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.

You approached and stood at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire up to the very heavens, with darkness, cloud, and thick gloom.

And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.

Then the LORD spoke to you from the midst of the fire. You heard the sound of words, but saw no form—there was only a voice.

And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice.

He declared to you His covenant, which He commanded you to keep—the Ten Commandments—and He wrote them on two stone tablets.

And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

The LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, so that you would observe them in the land you are crossing over to possess.

And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.

So be very careful for your own lives, because you did not see any form on the day the LORD spoke to you at Horeb from the midst of the fire.

Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:

Do not act corruptly by making for yourselves a carved image in the form of any figure, whether male or female.

Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

Or in the form of any animal on the earth, or any bird that flies in the sky,

The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,

Or any creature that moves along the ground, or any fish in the waters below the earth.

The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:

And be careful not to lift your eyes toward the heavens and see the sun, the moon, and the stars—all the host of heaven—and be led astray to bow down to them and worship them, things the LORD your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven.

And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.

But the LORD has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be a people of His inheritance, as you are today.

But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.

Furthermore, the LORD was angry with me because of you and swore that I would not cross the Jordan nor enter the good land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.

Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance:

I will die in this land; I am not crossing the Jordan, but you are about to cross over and take possession of that good land.

But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.

Be careful not to forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which He made with you, and not to make for yourselves a carved image in the form of anything He has forbidden you.

Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee.

For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.

When you have children and grandchildren and have grown old in the land, and if you act corruptly and make a carved image in the form of anything, doing what is evil in the sight of the LORD your God to provoke Him to anger,

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:

I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that you will surely be quickly destroyed from the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not extend your days there but will be utterly destroyed.

I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the LORD will lead you.

And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.

There you will serve gods made by human hands—objects of wood and stone that cannot see, hear, eat, or smell.

And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

But from there, you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul.

But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you in the latter days, you will return to the LORD your God and listen to His voice.

When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;

For the LORD your God is a merciful God; He will not abandon you, destroy you, or forget the covenant He swore to your ancestors.

(For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.

Ask now about the days that are past, from the day that God created humanity on the earth, and from one end of the heavens to the other: Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it been heard of?

For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?

Has any people heard the voice of God speaking out of the fire, as you have heard, and lived?

Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?

Or has any god ever tried to take for himself a nation from within another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand, by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, as the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

You were shown these things so that you might know that the LORD is God; there is no other besides Him.

Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him.

From heaven He caused you to hear His voice to teach you, and on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the fire.

Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.

Because He loved your ancestors, He chose their descendants after them and brought you out of Egypt with His great power and presence.

And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;

He drove out nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you into their land and to give it to you as an inheritance, as it is today.

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.

So know today and take it to heart that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other.

Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

Keep His statutes and commandments that I am giving you today, so that it may go well with you and your children after you, and that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you for all time.

Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.

Then Moses set apart three cities east of the Jordan.

Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;

These were for anyone who accidentally killed a neighbor without prior hostility, so that they could flee to one of these cities and live.

That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbour unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:

The cities were Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau for the Reubenites, Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan for the Manassites.

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.

This is the law that Moses set before the Israelites.

And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:

These are the testimonies, statutes, and judgments that Moses spoke to the Israelites after they came out of Egypt.

These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt,

They were given east of the Jordan, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon. Moses and the Israelites defeated him when they came out of Egypt.

On this side Jordan, in the valley over against Bethpeor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were come forth out of Egypt:

They took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan—the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan toward the sunrise.

And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;

This territory extended from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon Gorge to Mount Sion (which is Hermon),

From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon,

and included all the Arabah east of the Jordan, as far as the Sea of the Arabah, below the slopes of Pisgah.

And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
