{\MT The Fifth Book of Moses, called Deuteronomy



\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}These
{\ADD{be}} the
words which
Moses
spake unto all
Israel on this
side
Jordan in the
wilderness, in the
plain over
against the
Red
{\ADD{sea}}, between
Paran, and
Tophel, and
Laban, and
Hazeroth, and
Dizahab.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1:1 }{\FT{the Red…: or, Zuph}}}

\VS{2}({\ADD{There are}}
eleven
days’
{\ADD{journey}} from
Horeb by the
way of
mount
Seir unto
Kadesh-barnea.)

\VS{3}And it came to pass in the
fortieth
year, in the
eleventh
month, on the
first
{\ADD{day}} of the
month,
{\ADD{that}}
Moses
spake unto the
children of
Israel, according unto all that the
{\ND{LORD}} had given him in
commandment unto them;

\VS{4}After he had
slain
Sihon the
king of the
Amorites, which
dwelt in
Heshbon, and
Og the
king of
Bashan, which
dwelt at
Astaroth in
Edrei:

\VS{5}On this
side
Jordan, in the
land of
Moab,
began
Moses to
declare this
law,
saying,

\VS{6}The
{\ND{LORD}} our
God
spake unto us in
Horeb,
saying, Ye have
dwelt long
enough in this
mount:

\VS{7}Turn you, and take your
journey, and
go to the
mount of the
Amorites, and unto all
{\ADD{the places}}
nigh thereunto, in the
plain, in the
hills, and in the
vale, and in the
south, and by the
sea
side, to the
land of the
Canaanites, and unto
Lebanon, unto the
great
river, the
river
Euphrates.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 1:7 }{\FT{all…: Heb. all his neighbours}}}

\VS{8}Behold, I have
set the
land
before you:
go in and
possess the
land which the
{\ND{LORD}}
sware unto your
fathers,
Abraham,
Isaac, and
Jacob, to
give unto them and to their
seed
after them.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 1:8 }{\FT{set: Heb. given}}}


\par }{\PP \VS{9}¶ And I
spake unto you at that
time,
saying, I am not
able to
bear you myself
alone:

\VS{10}The
{\ND{LORD}} your
God hath
multiplied you, and, behold, ye
{\ADD{are}} this
day as the
stars of
heaven for
multitude.

\VS{11}(The
{\ND{LORD}}
God of your
fathers make you a
thousand
times so many more
as ye
{\ADD{are}}, and
bless you, as he hath
promised you!)

\VS{12}How can I myself alone
bear your
cumbrance, and your
burden, and your
strife?

\VS{13}Take you
wise
men, and
understanding, and
known among your
tribes, and I will
make them
rulers over you.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 1:13 }{\FT{Take: Heb. Give}}}

\VS{14}And ye
answered me, and
said, The
thing which thou hast
spoken
{\ADD{is}}
good
{\ADD{for us}} to
do.

\VS{15}So I
took the
chief 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.\FTNT{**}{{\FR 1:15 }{\FT{made: Heb. gave}}}

\VS{16}And I
charged your
judges at that
time,
saying,
Hear
{\ADD{the causes}} between your
brethren, and
judge
righteously between
{\ADD{every}}
man and his
brother, and the
stranger
{\ADD{that is}} with him.

\VS{17}Ye shall not
respect
persons in
judgment;
{\ADD{but}} ye shall
hear the
small as well as the
great; ye shall not be
afraid of the
face of
man; for the
judgment
{\ADD{is}}
God’s: and the
cause that is too
hard for you,
bring
{\ADD{it}} unto me, and I will
hear it.\FTNT{††}{{\FR 1:17 }{\FT{respect…: Heb. acknowledge faces}}}

\VS{18}And I
commanded you at that
time all the
things which ye should
do.


\par }{\PP \VS{19}¶ 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
{\ND{LORD}} our
God
commanded us; and we
came to
Kadesh-barnea.

\VS{20}And I
said unto you, Ye are
come unto the
mountain of the
Amorites, which the
{\ND{LORD}} our
God doth
give unto us.

\VS{21}Behold, the
{\ND{LORD}} thy
God hath
set the
land
before thee: go
up
{\ADD{and}}
possess
{\ADD{it}}, as the
{\ND{LORD}}
God of thy
fathers hath
said unto thee;
fear not, neither be
discouraged.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}¶ And ye came
near unto me every one of you, and
said, We will
send
men
before us, and they shall search us
out the
land, and
bring us
word
again by what
way we must go
up, and into what
cities we shall
come.

\VS{23}And the
saying pleased me
well: and I
took
twelve
men of you,
one of a
tribe:

\VS{24}And they
turned and went
up into the
mountain, and
came unto the
valley of
Eshcol, and searched it
out.

\VS{25}And they
took of the
fruit of the
land in their
hands, and brought
{\ADD{it}}
down unto us, and
brought us
word
again, and
said,
{\ADD{It is}} a
good
land which the
{\ND{LORD}} our
God doth
give us.

\VS{26}Notwithstanding ye
would not go
up, but
rebelled against the
commandment of the
{\ND{LORD}} your
God:

\VS{27}And ye
murmured in your
tents, and
said, Because the
{\ND{LORD}}
hated us, he hath brought us
forth out of the
land of
Egypt, to
deliver us into the
hand of the
Amorites, to
destroy us.

\VS{28}Whither shall we go
up? our
brethren have
discouraged our
heart,
saying, The
people
{\ADD{is}}
greater and
taller than we; the
cities
{\ADD{are}}
great and walled
up to
heaven; and moreover we have
seen the
sons of the
Anakims there.\FTNT{‡‡}{{\FR 1:28 }{\FT{discouraged: Heb. melted}}}

\VS{29}Then I
said unto you,
Dread not, neither be
afraid of them.

\VS{30}The
{\ND{LORD}} your
God which
goeth
before you, he shall
fight for you, according to all that he
did for you in
Egypt before your
eyes;

\VS{31}And in the
wilderness, where thou hast
seen how that the
{\ND{LORD}} thy
God
bare thee, as a
man doth
bear his
son, in all the
way that ye
went, until ye
came into this
place.

\VS{32}Yet in this
thing ye did not
believe the
{\ND{LORD}} your
God,

\VS{33}Who
went in the
way
before you, to search you
out a
place to pitch your
tents
{\ADD{in}}, in
fire by
night, to
shew you by what
way ye should
go, and in a
cloud by
day.

\VS{34}And the
{\ND{LORD}}
heard the
voice of your
words, and was
wroth, and
sware,
saying,

\VS{35}Surely there shall not
one of these
men of this
evil
generation
see that
good
land, which I
sware to
give unto your
fathers,

\VS{36}Save
Caleb the
son of
Jephunneh; he shall
see it, and to him will I
give the
land
that he hath trodden
upon, and to his
children, because he hath
wholly
followed the
{\ND{LORD}}.\FTNT{§§}{{\FR 1:36 }{\FT{wholly…: Heb. fulfilled to go after}}}

\VS{37}Also the
{\ND{LORD}} was
angry with me for your
sakes,
saying, Thou also shalt not
go in
thither.

\VS{38}{\ADD{But}}
Joshua the
son of
Nun, which
standeth
before thee, he shall go
in thither:
encourage him: for he shall cause
Israel to
inherit it.

\VS{39}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 thither, and unto them will I
give it, and they shall
possess it.

\VS{40}But
{\ADD{as for}} you,
turn you, and take your
journey into the
wilderness by the
way of the
Red
sea.

\VS{41}Then ye
answered and
said unto me, We have
sinned against the
{\ND{LORD}}, we will go
up and
fight, according to all that the
{\ND{LORD}} our
God
commanded us. And when ye had
girded on every
man his
weapons of
war, ye were
ready to go
up into the
hill.

\VS{42}And the
{\ND{LORD}}
said unto me,
Say unto them, Go not
up, neither
fight; for I
{\ADD{am}} not
among you; lest ye be
smitten
before your
enemies.

\VS{43}So I
spake unto you; and ye would not
hear, but
rebelled against the
commandment of the
{\ND{LORD}}, and
went
presumptuously
up into the
hill.\FTNT{***}{{\FR 1:43 }{\FT{went…: Heb. ye were presumptuous, and went up}}}

\VS{44}And the
Amorites, which
dwelt in that
mountain, came
out
against you, and
chased you, as
bees
do, and
destroyed you in
Seir,
{\ADD{even}} unto
Hormah.

\VS{45}And ye
returned and
wept
before the
{\ND{LORD}}; but the
{\ND{LORD}} would not
hearken to your
voice, nor give
ear unto you.

\VS{46}So ye
abode in
Kadesh
many
days, according unto the
days that ye
abode
{\ADD{there}}.




\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then we
turned, and took our
journey into the
wilderness by the
way of the
Red
sea, as the
{\ND{LORD}}
spake unto me: and we
compassed
mount
Seir
many
days.

\VS{2}And the
{\ND{LORD}}
spake unto me,
saying,

\VS{3}Ye have
compassed this
mountain long
enough:
turn you
northward.

\VS{4}And
command thou the
people,
saying, Ye
{\ADD{are}} to
pass through the
coast of your
brethren the
children of
Esau, which
dwell in
Seir; and they shall be
afraid of you: take ye
good
heed unto yourselves therefore:

\VS{5}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 unto
Esau
{\ADD{for}} a
possession.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 2:5 }{\FT{no…: Heb. even to the treading of the sole of the foot}}}

\VS{6}Ye shall
buy
meat of them for
money, that ye may
eat; and ye shall also
buy
water of them for
money, that ye may
drink.

\VS{7}For the
{\ND{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
{\ND{LORD}} thy
God
{\ADD{hath been}} with thee; thou hast
lacked
nothing.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}And when we
passed by from our
brethren the
children of
Esau, which
dwelt in
Seir, through the
way of the
plain from
Elath, and from
Ezion-gaber, we
turned and
passed by the
way of the
wilderness of
Moab.

\VS{9}And the
{\ND{LORD}}
said unto me,
Distress not the
Moabites, neither
contend with them in
battle: for I will not
give thee of their
land
{\ADD{for}} a
possession; because I have
given
Ar unto the
children of
Lot
{\ADD{for}} a
possession.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 2:9 }{\FT{Distress…: or, Use no hostility against Moab}}}

\VS{10}The
Emims
dwelt therein in times
past, a
people
great, and
many, and
tall, as the
Anakims;

\VS{11}Which also were
accounted
giants, as the
Anakims; but the
Moabites
call them
Emims.

\VS{12}The
Horims also
dwelt in
Seir
beforetime; but the
children of
Esau
succeeded them, when they had
destroyed them from
before them, and
dwelt in their stead; as
Israel
did unto the
land of his
possession, which the
{\ND{LORD}}
gave unto them.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 2:12 }{\FT{succeeded: Heb. inherited}}}\FTNT{§}{{\FR 2:12 }{\FT{stead: or, room}}}

\VS{13}Now rise
up,
{\ADD{said I}}, and get you
over the
brook
Zered. And we went
over the
brook
Zered.\FTNT{**}{{\FR 2:13 }{\FT{brook: or, valley}}}

\VS{14}And the
space in which we
came from
Kadesh-barnea, until we were come
over the
brook
Zered,
{\ADD{was}}
thirty and
eight
years; until all the
generation of the
men of
war were wasted
out from
among the
host, as the
{\ND{LORD}}
sware unto them.\FTNT{††}{{\FR 2:14 }{\FT{brook: or, valley}}}

\VS{15}For indeed the
hand of the
{\ND{LORD}} was against them, to
destroy them from
among the
host, until they were
consumed.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}¶ So it came to pass, when all the
men of
war were
consumed and
dead from
among the
people,

\VS{17}That the
{\ND{LORD}}
spake unto me,
saying,

\VS{18}Thou art to pass
over through
Ar, the
coast of
Moab, this
day:

\VS{19}And
{\ADD{when}} thou comest
nigh over
against 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
{\ADD{any}}
possession; because I have
given it unto the
children of
Lot
{\ADD{for}} a
possession.

\VS{20}(That also was
accounted a
land of
giants:
giants
dwelt therein in old
time; and the
Ammonites
call them
Zamzummims;\FTNT{‡‡}{{\FR 2:20 }{\FT{Zamzummims: also called, Zuzims}}}

\VS{21}A
people
great, and
many, and
tall, as the
Anakims; but the
{\ND{LORD}}
destroyed them
before them; and they
succeeded them, and
dwelt in their stead:

\VS{22}As he
did to the
children of
Esau, which
dwelt in
Seir, when he
destroyed the
Horims from
before them; and they
succeeded them, and
dwelt in their stead even unto this
day:

\VS{23}And the
Avims which
dwelt in
Hazerim,
{\ADD{even}} unto
Azzah, the
Caphtorims, which came
forth out of
Caphtor,
destroyed them, and
dwelt in their stead.)


\par }{\PP \VS{24}¶ Rise ye
up, take your
journey, and pass
over the
river
Arnon:
behold, I have
given into thine
hand
Sihon the
Amorite,
king of
Heshbon, and his
land:
begin to
possess
{\ADD{it}}, and
contend with him in
battle.\FTNT{§§}{{\FR 2:24 }{\FT{begin…: Heb. begin, possess}}}

\VS{25}This
day will I
begin to
put the
dread of thee and the
fear of thee upon the
nations
{\ADD{that are}} under the whole
heaven, who shall
hear
report of thee, and shall
tremble, and be in
anguish because of
thee.


\par }{\PP \VS{26}¶ And I
sent
messengers out of the
wilderness of
Kedemoth unto
Sihon
king of
Heshbon with
words of
peace,
saying,

\VS{27}Let me
pass through thy
land: I will
go along by the high
way, I will neither
turn unto the right
hand nor to the
left.

\VS{28}Thou shalt
sell me
meat for
money, that I may
eat; and
give me
water for
money, that I may
drink: only I will pass
through on my
feet;

\VS{29}(As the
children of
Esau which
dwell in
Seir, and the
Moabites which
dwell in
Ar,
did unto me;) until I shall pass
over
Jordan into the
land which the
{\ND{LORD}} our
God
giveth us.

\VS{30}But
Sihon
king of
Heshbon
would not let us
pass by him: for the
{\ND{LORD}} thy
God
hardened his
spirit, and made his
heart
obstinate, that he might
deliver him into thy
hand, as
{\ADD{appeareth}} this
day.

\VS{31}And the
{\ND{LORD}}
said unto me,
Behold, I have
begun to
give
Sihon and his
land
before thee:
begin to
possess, that thou mayest
inherit his
land.

\VS{32}Then
Sihon came
out
against us, he and all his
people, to
fight at
Jahaz.

\VS{33}And the
{\ND{LORD}} our
God
delivered him
before us; and we
smote him, and his
sons, and all his
people.

\VS{34}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:\FTNT{***}{{\FR 2:34 }{\FT{the men…: Heb. every city of men, and women, and little ones}}}

\VS{35}Only the
cattle we took for a
prey unto ourselves, and the
spoil of the
cities which we
took.

\VS{36}From
Aroer, which
{\ADD{is}} by the
brink of the
river of
Arnon, and
{\ADD{from}} the
city that
{\ADD{is}} by the
river, even unto
Gilead, there was not one
city too
strong for us: the
{\ND{LORD}} our
God
delivered all unto
us:

\VS{37}Only unto the
land of the
children of
Ammon thou
camest not,
{\ADD{nor}} unto any
place of the
river
Jabbok, nor unto the
cities in the
mountains, nor unto whatsoever the
{\ND{LORD}} our
God
forbad us.




\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}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.

\VS{2}And the
{\ND{LORD}}
said unto me,
Fear him not: for I will
deliver him, and all his
people, and his
land, into thy
hand; and thou shalt
do unto him as thou
didst unto
Sihon
king of the
Amorites, which
dwelt at
Heshbon.

\VS{3}So the
{\ND{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.

\VS{4}And we
took all his
cities at that
time, there was not a
city which we
took not from them,
threescore
cities, all the
region of
Argob, the
kingdom of
Og in
Bashan.

\VS{5}All these
cities
{\ADD{were}}
fenced with
high
walls,
gates, and
bars; beside
unwalled
towns a
great
many.

\VS{6}And we utterly
destroyed them, as we
did unto
Sihon
king of
Heshbon, utterly
destroying the
men,
women, and
children, of every
city.

\VS{7}But all the
cattle, and the
spoil of the
cities, we took for a
prey to ourselves.

\VS{8}And we
took at that
time
out of the
hand of the
two
kings of the
Amorites the
land that
{\ADD{was}} on this
side
Jordan, from the
river of
Arnon unto
mount
Hermon;

\VS{9}({\ADD{Which}}
Hermon the
Sidonians
call
Sirion; and the
Amorites
call it
Shenir;)

\VS{10}All the
cities of the
plain, and all
Gilead, and all
Bashan, unto
Salchah and
Edrei,
cities of the
kingdom of
Og in
Bashan.

\VS{11}For only
Og
king of
Bashan
remained of the
remnant of
giants; behold, his
bedstead
{\ADD{was}} a
bedstead of
iron;
{\ADD{is}} it
not in
Rabbath of the
children of
Ammon?
nine
cubits
{\ADD{was}} the
length thereof, and
four
cubits the
breadth of it, after the
cubit of a
man.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}And this
land,
{\ADD{which}} we
possessed at that
time, from
Aroer, which
{\ADD{is}} by the
river
Arnon, and
half
mount
Gilead, and the
cities thereof,
gave I unto the
Reubenites and to the
Gadites.

\VS{13}And the
rest of
Gilead, and all
Bashan,
{\ADD{being}} the
kingdom of
Og,
gave I unto the
half
tribe of
Manasseh; all the
region of
Argob, with all
Bashan,
which was
called the
land of
giants.

\VS{14}Jair the
son of
Manasseh
took all the
country of
Argob unto the
coasts of
Geshuri and
Maachathi; and
called them after his own
name,
Bashan-havoth-jair, unto this
day.

\VS{15}And I
gave
Gilead unto
Machir.

\VS{16}And unto the
Reubenites and unto the
Gadites I
gave from
Gilead even unto the
river
Arnon
half the
valley, and the
border even unto the
river
Jabbok,
{\ADD{which is}} the
border of the
children of
Ammon;

\VS{17}The
plain also, and
Jordan, and the
coast
{\ADD{thereof}}, from
Chinnereth even unto the
sea of the
plain,
{\ADD{even}} the
salt
sea, under
Ashdoth-pisgah
eastward.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 3:17 }{\FT{Ashdoth-pisgah: or, the springs of Pisgah, or, the hill}}}


\par }{\PP \VS{18}¶ And I
commanded you at that
time,
saying, The
{\ND{LORD}} your
God hath
given you this
land to
possess it: ye shall pass
over
armed
before your
brethren the
children of
Israel, all
{\ADD{that are}}
meet for the
war.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 3:18 }{\FT{meet…: Heb. sons of power}}}

\VS{19}But your
wives, and your little
ones, and your
cattle, ({\ADD{for}} I
know that ye have
much
cattle,) shall
abide in your
cities which I have
given you;

\VS{20}Until the
{\ND{LORD}} have given
rest unto your
brethren, as well as unto you, and
{\ADD{until}} they also
possess the
land which the
{\ND{LORD}} your
God hath
given them
beyond
Jordan: and
{\ADD{then}} shall ye
return every
man unto his
possession, which I have
given you.


\par }{\PP \VS{21}¶ And I
commanded
Joshua at that
time,
saying, Thine
eyes have
seen all that the
{\ND{LORD}} your
God hath
done unto these
two
kings: so shall the
{\ND{LORD}}
do unto all the
kingdoms whither thou
passest.

\VS{22}Ye shall not
fear them: for the
{\ND{LORD}} your
God he shall
fight for you.

\VS{23}And I
besought the
{\ND{LORD}} at that
time,
saying,

\VS{24}O
Lord
{\ND{GOD}}, thou hast
begun to
shew thy
servant thy
greatness, and thy
mighty
hand: for what
God
{\ADD{is there}} in
heaven or in
earth, that can
do according to thy
works, and according to thy
might?

\VS{25}I pray thee, let me go
over, and
see the
good
land that
{\ADD{is}}
beyond
Jordan, that
goodly
mountain, and
Lebanon.

\VS{26}But the
{\ND{LORD}} was
wroth with me for your sakes, and would not
hear me: and the
{\ND{LORD}}
said unto me, Let it
suffice thee;
speak no
more unto me of this
matter.

\VS{27}Get thee
up into the
top of
Pisgah, and lift
up thine
eyes
westward, and
northward, and
southward, and
eastward, and
behold
{\ADD{it}} with thine
eyes: for thou shalt not go
over this
Jordan.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 3:27 }{\FT{Pisgah: or, the hill}}}

\VS{28}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.

\VS{29}So we
abode in the
valley over
against
Beth-peor.




\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now therefore
hearken, O

people unto the
{\ND{LORD}} thy
God: the
{\ND{LORD}} thy
God hath
chosen thee to be a
special
people unto himself, above all
people that
{\ADD{are}} upon the
face of the
earth.

\VS{7}The
{\ND{LORD}} did not set his
love upon you, nor
choose you, because ye were
more in number than any
people; for ye
{\ADD{were}} the
fewest of all
people:

\VS{8}But because the
{\ND{LORD}}
loved you, and because he would
keep the
oath which he had
sworn unto your
fathers, hath the
{\ND{LORD}} brought you
out with a
mighty
hand, and
redeemed you out of the
house of
bondmen, from the
hand of
Pharaoh
king of
Egypt.

\VS{9}Know therefore that the
{\ND{LORD}} thy
God, he
{\ADD{is}}
God, the
faithful
God, which
keepeth
covenant and
mercy with them that
love him and
keep his
commandments to a
thousand
generations;

\VS{10}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.

\VS{11}Thou shalt therefore
keep the
commandments, and the
statutes, and the
judgments, which I
command thee this
day, to
do them.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}¶ Wherefore it shall come to pass,
if ye
hearken to these
judgments, and
keep, and
do them, that the
{\ND{LORD}} thy
God shall
keep unto thee the
covenant and the
mercy which he
sware unto thy
fathers:\FTNT{†}{{\FR 7:12 }{\FT{if: Heb. because}}}

\VS{13}And he will
love thee, and
bless thee, and
multiply thee: he will also
bless the
fruit of thy
womb, and the
fruit of thy
land, thy
corn, and thy
wine, and thine
oil, the
increase of thy
kine, and the
flocks of thy
sheep, in the
land which he
sware unto thy
fathers to
give thee.

\VS{14}Thou shalt be
blessed above all
people: there shall not be
male or female
barren among you, or among your
cattle.

\VS{15}And the
{\ND{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
{\ADD{them}} that
hate thee.

\VS{16}And thou shalt
consume all the
people which the
{\ND{LORD}} thy
God shall
deliver thee; thine
eye shall have no
pity upon them: neither shalt thou
serve their
gods; for that
{\ADD{will be}} a
snare unto thee.

\VS{17}If thou shalt
say in thine
heart, These
nations
{\ADD{are}}
more than I;
how
can I
dispossess them?

\VS{18}Thou shalt not be
afraid of them:
{\ADD{but}} shalt
well
remember what the
{\ND{LORD}} thy
God
did unto
Pharaoh, and unto all
Egypt;

\VS{19}The
great
temptations which thine
eyes
saw, and the
signs, and the
wonders, and the
mighty
hand, and the stretched
out
arm, whereby the
{\ND{LORD}} thy
God brought thee
out: so shall the
{\ND{LORD}} thy
God
do unto all the
people of whom thou art
afraid.

\VS{20}Moreover the
{\ND{LORD}} thy
God will
send the
hornet among them, until they that are
left, and
hide themselves
from thee, be
destroyed.

\VS{21}Thou shalt not be
affrighted
at them: for the
{\ND{LORD}} thy
God
{\ADD{is}}
among you, a
mighty
God and
terrible.

\VS{22}And the
{\ND{LORD}} thy
God will put
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.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 7:22 }{\FT{put…: Heb. pluck off}}}

\VS{23}But the
{\ND{LORD}} thy
God shall
deliver them unto
thee, and shall
destroy them with a
mighty
destruction, until they be
destroyed.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 7:23 }{\FT{unto…: Heb. before thy face}}}

\VS{24}And he shall
deliver their
kings into thine
hand, and thou shalt
destroy their
name from under
heaven: there shall no
man be able to
stand
before thee, until thou have
destroyed them.

\VS{25}The graven
images of their
gods shall ye
burn with
fire: thou shalt not
desire the
silver or
gold
{\ADD{that is}} on them, nor
take
{\ADD{it}} unto thee, lest thou be
snared therein: for it
{\ADD{is}} an
abomination to the
{\ND{LORD}} thy
God.

\VS{26}Neither shalt thou
bring an
abomination into thine
house, lest thou be a cursed
thing like it:
{\ADD{but}} thou shalt
utterly
detest it, and thou shalt
utterly
abhor it; for it
{\ADD{is}} a cursed
thing.

observe to

know that

up to

\VS{2}A

\VS{6}Understand therefore, that the

stiffnecked
people.


\par }{\PP \VS{7}¶
Remember,
{\ADD{and}}
forget not, how thou provokedst the
{\ND{LORD}} thy
God to
wrath in the
wilderness:
from the
day that thou didst depart
out of the
land of
Egypt, until ye
came unto this
place, ye have been
rebellious
against the
{\ND{LORD}}.

\VS{8}Also in
Horeb ye
provoked the
{\ND{LORD}} to
wrath, so that the
{\ND{LORD}} was
angry with you to have
destroyed you.

\VS{9}When I was gone
up into the
mount to
receive the
tables of
stone,
{\ADD{even}} the
tables of the
covenant which the
{\ND{LORD}}
made with you, then I
abode in the
mount
forty
days and
forty
nights, I neither did
eat
bread nor
drink
water:

\VS{10}And the
{\ND{LORD}}
delivered unto me
two
tables of
stone
written with the
finger of
God; and on them
{\ADD{was written}} according to all the
words, which the
{\ND{LORD}}
spake with you in the
mount out of the
midst of the
fire in the
day of the
assembly.

\VS{11}And it came to pass at the
end of
forty
days and
forty
nights,
{\ADD{that}} the
{\ND{LORD}}
gave me the
two
tables of
stone,
{\ADD{even}} the
tables of the
covenant.

\VS{12}And the
{\ND{LORD}}
said unto me,
Arise, get thee
down
quickly from hence; for thy
people which thou hast brought
forth out of
Egypt have
corrupted
{\ADD{themselves;}} they are
quickly turned
aside out of the
way which I
commanded them; they have
made them a molten
image.

\VS{13}Furthermore the
{\ND{LORD}}
spake unto me,
saying, I have
seen this
people, and, behold, it
{\ADD{is}} a
stiffnecked
people:

\VS{14}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.

\VS{15}So I
turned and came
down from the
mount, and the
mount
burned with
fire: and the
two
tables of the
covenant
{\ADD{were}} in my
two
hands.

\VS{16}And I
looked, and, behold, ye had
sinned against the
{\ND{LORD}} your
God,
{\ADD{and}} had
made you a
molten
calf: ye had turned
aside
quickly out of the
way which the
{\ND{LORD}} had
commanded you.

\VS{17}And I
took the
two
tables, and
cast them out
of my
two
hands, and
brake them before your
eyes.

\VS{18}And I fell
down
before the
{\ND{LORD}}, as at the
first,
forty
days and
forty
nights: I did neither
eat
bread, nor
drink
water, because of all your
sins which ye
sinned, in
doing
wickedly in the
sight of the
{\ND{LORD}}, to provoke him to
anger.

\VS{19}For I was
afraid
of the
anger and hot
displeasure, wherewith the
{\ND{LORD}} was
wroth against you to
destroy you. But the
{\ND{LORD}}
hearkened unto me at that
time also.

\VS{20}And the
{\ND{LORD}} was
very
angry with
Aaron to have
destroyed him: and I
prayed for
Aaron also the same
time.

\VS{21}And I
took your
sin, the
calf which ye had
made, and
burnt it with
fire, and
stamped it,
{\ADD{and}}
ground
{\ADD{it}} very
small,
{\ADD{even}} until it was as
small as
dust: and I
cast the
dust thereof into the
brook that descended
out of the
mount.

\VS{22}And at
Taberah, and at
Massah, and at
Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked the
{\ND{LORD}} to
wrath.

\VS{23}Likewise when the
{\ND{LORD}}
sent you from
Kadesh-barnea,
saying, Go
up and
possess the
land which I have
given you; then ye
rebelled against the
commandment of the
{\ND{LORD}} your
God, and ye
believed him not, nor
hearkened to his
voice.

\VS{24}Ye have been
rebellious against the
{\ND{LORD}} from the
day that I
knew you.

\VS{25}Thus I fell
down
before the
{\ND{LORD}}
forty
days and
forty
nights, as I fell
down
{\ADD{at the first;}} because the
{\ND{LORD}} had
said he would
destroy you.

\VS{26}I
prayed therefore unto the
{\ND{LORD}}, and
said, O
Lord
{\ND{GOD}},
destroy not thy
people and thine
inheritance, which thou hast
redeemed through thy
greatness, which thou hast brought
forth out of
Egypt with a
mighty
hand.

\VS{27}Remember thy
servants,
Abraham,
Isaac, and
Jacob;
look not unto the
stubbornness of this
people, nor to their
wickedness, nor to their
sin:

\VS{28}Lest the
land whence thou broughtest us
out
say, Because the
{\ND{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.

\VS{29}Yet they
{\ADD{are}} thy
people and thine
inheritance, which thou broughtest
out by thy
mighty
power and by thy stretched
out
arm.




\par }\Chap{10}{\PP \VerseOne{1}At that
time the

said unto me,
Hew thee

make thee an
ark of
wood.

\VS{2}And I will
write on the
tables the
words that were in the
first
tables which thou
brakest, and thou shalt
put them in the
ark.

\VS{3}And I
made an
ark
{\ADD{of}}
shittim
wood, and
hewed
two
tables of
stone like unto the
first, and went
up into the
mount, having the
two
tables in mine

wrote on the
tables, according to the
first
writing, the
ten
commandments, which the

spake unto you in the
