to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
[27] 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.
[28] And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone,
which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
[29] But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy
God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
[30] 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;
[31] (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not
forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
[32]
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?
[33] Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking
out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
[34] 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?
[35] Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that
the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him.
[36] 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.
[37] 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;
[38] 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.
[39] 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.
[40] 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.
[41] Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;
[42] 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:
[43] 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.
[44]
And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
[45] 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,
[46] On this side Jordan, in the valley over against Beth-peor, 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:
[47] 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;
[48] From Aroer, which is by the bank
of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon,
[49] And all the plain on this side Jordan
eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
Deut.5
[1] And Moses called all Israel, and said unto 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.
[2] The LORD our God
made a covenant with us in Horeb.
[3] The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us,
even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
[4] The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount
out of the midst of the fire,
[5] (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to shew you the work
of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,
[6] I am
the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
[7] Thou
shalt have none other gods before me.
[8] Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness
of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath
the earth:
[9] Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a
jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of
them that hate me,
[10] And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
[11]
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that
taketh his name in vain.
[12] Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded
thee.
[13] Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:
[14] But the seventh day is the sabbath of the
