Deuteronomy:4:30-49
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 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 .
*
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 ?
*
Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire ,
as thou hast heard ,
and live ?
*
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 ?
*
Unto thee it was shewed ,
that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God ;
there is none else beside him .
*
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 .
*
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 ;
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising ;
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel :
*
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 ,
*
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 :
*
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 ;
*
From Aroer ,
which is by the bank of the river Arnon ,
even unto mount Sion ,
which is Hermon ,
*
And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward ,
even unto the sea of the plain ,
under the springs of Pisgah .
