Deuteronomy:5-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb .
*
The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers ,
but with us ,
even us ,
who are all of us here alive this day .
*
The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire ,
* (
I stood between the LORD and you at that time ,
to shew you the word of the LORD :
for ye were afraid by reason of the fire ,
and went not up into the mount ;)
saying ,
*
I am the LORD thy God ,
which brought thee out of the land of Egypt ,
from the house of bondage .
*
Thou shalt have none other gods before me .
*
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 :
*
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 ,
*
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments .
*
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 .
*
Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it ,
as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee .
*
Six days thou shalt labour ,
and do all thy work :
*
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 manservant ,
nor thy maidservant ,
nor thine ox ,
nor thine ass ,
nor any of thy cattle ,
nor thy stranger that is within thy gates ;
that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou .
*
And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt ,
and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm :
therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day .
*
Honour thy father and thy mother ,
as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee ;
that thy days may be prolonged ,
and that it may go well with thee ,
in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee .
*
Thou shalt not kill .
*
Neither shalt thou commit adultery .
*
Neither shalt thou steal .
*
Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour .
*
Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour '
s wife ,
neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour '
s house ,
his field ,
or his manservant ,
or his maidservant ,
his ox ,
or his ass ,
or any thing that is thy neighbour '
s .
*
These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of 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 unto me .
*
And it came to pass ,
when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness , (
for the mountain did burn with fire ,)
that ye came near unto me ,
even all the heads of your tribes ,
and your elders ;
*
And ye said ,
Behold ,
the LORD our God hath shewed us his glory and his greatness ,
and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire :
we have seen this day that God doth talk with man ,
and he liveth .
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
Go thou near ,
and hear all that the LORD our God shall say :
and speak thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee ;
and we will hear it ,
and do it .
*
And the LORD heard the voice of your words ,
when ye spake unto me ;
and the LORD said unto me ,
I have heard the voice of the words of this people ,
which they have spoken unto thee :
they have well said all that they have spoken .
*
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 !
*
Go say to them ,
Get you into your tents again .
*
But as for thee ,
stand thou here by me ,
and I will speak unto 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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Now these are the commandments ,
the statutes ,
and the judgments ,
which the LORD your God commanded to teach you ,
that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it :
*
That thou mightest 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 .
*
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 .
*
Hear ,
O Israel :
The LORD our God is one LORD :
*
And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart ,
and with all thy soul ,
and with all thy might .
*
And these words ,
which I command thee this day ,
shall be in thine heart :
*
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children ,
and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house ,
and when thou walkest by the way ,
and when thou liest down ,
and when thou risest up .
*
And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand ,
and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes .
*
And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house ,
and on thy gates .
*
And it shall be ,
when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers ,
to Abraham ,
to Isaac ,
and to Jacob ,
to give thee great and goodly cities ,
which thou buildedst not ,
*
And houses full of all good things ,
which thou filledst not ,
and wells digged ,
which thou diggedst not ,
vineyards and olive trees ,
which thou plantedst not ;
when thou shalt have eaten and be full ;
*
Then beware lest thou forget the LORD ,
which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt ,
from the house of bondage .
*
Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God ,
and serve him ,
and shalt swear by his name .
*
Ye shall not go after other gods ,
of the gods of the people which are round about you ;
* (
For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you )
lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee ,
and destroy thee from off the face of the earth .
*
Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God ,
as ye tempted him in Massah .
*
Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God ,
and his testimonies ,
and his statutes ,
which he hath commanded thee .
*
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 sware unto thy fathers ,
*
To cast out all thine enemies from before thee ,
as the LORD hath spoken .
*
And when thy son asketh thee in time to come ,
saying ,
What mean the testimonies ,
and the statutes ,
and the judgments ,
which the LORD our God hath commanded you ?
*
Then thou shalt say unto thy son ,
We were Pharaoh '
s bondmen in Egypt ;
and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand :
*
And the LORD shewed signs and wonders ,
great and sore ,
upon Egypt ,
upon Pharaoh ,
and upon all his household ,
before our eyes :
*
And he brought us out from thence ,
that he might bring us in ,
to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers .
*
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 .
*
And it shall be our righteousness ,
if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God ,
as he hath commanded us .
*
When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither 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 ;
*
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 shew mercy unto them :
*
Neither shalt thou make marriages with them ;
thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son ,
nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God :
the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself ,
above all people that are upon the face of the earth .
*
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 :
*
But because the LORD loved you ,
and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers ,
hath the 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 .
*
Know therefore that the LORD thy God ,
he is God ,
the faithful God ,
which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations ;
*
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 .
*
Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments ,
and the statutes ,
and the judgments ,
which I command thee this day ,
to do them .
*
Wherefore it shall come to pass ,
if ye hearken to these judgments ,
and keep ,
and do them ,
that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers :
*
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 .
*
Thou shalt be blessed above all people :
there shall not be male or female barren among you ,
or among your cattle .
*
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 .
*
And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee ;
thine eye shall have no pity upon them :
neither shalt thou serve their gods ;
for that will be a snare unto thee .
*
If thou shalt say in thine heart ,
These nations are more than I ;
how can I dispossess them ?
*
Thou shalt not be afraid of them :
but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh ,
and unto all Egypt ;
*
The great temptations which thine eyes saw ,
and the signs ,
and the wonders ,
and the mighty hand ,
and the stretched out arm ,
whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out :
so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid .
*
Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them ,
until they that are left ,
and hide themselves from thee ,
be destroyed .
*
Thou shalt not be affrighted at them :
for the LORD thy God is among you ,
a mighty God and terrible .
*
And the 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 .
*
But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee ,
and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction ,
until they be destroyed .
*
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 .
*
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 unto thee ,
lest thou be snared therein :
for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God .
*
Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house ,
lest thou be a cursed thing like it :
but thou shalt utterly detest it ,
and thou shalt utterly abhor it ;
for it is a cursed thing .
*
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 sware unto your fathers .
*
And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness ,
to humble thee ,
and to prove thee ,
to know what was in thine heart ,
whether thou wouldest keep his commandments ,
or no .
*
And he humbled thee ,
and suffered 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 .
*
Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee ,
neither did thy foot swell ,
these forty years .
*
Thou shalt also consider in thine heart ,
that ,
as a man chasteneth his son ,
so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee .
*
Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God ,
to walk in his ways ,
and to fear him .
*
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 ;
*
A land of wheat ,
and barley ,
and vines ,
and fig trees ,
and pomegranates ;
a land of oil olive ,
and honey ;
*
A land wherein 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 .
*
When thou hast eaten and art full ,
then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee .
*
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 :
*
Lest when thou hast eaten and art full ,
and hast built goodly houses ,
and dwelt therein ;
*
And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply ,
and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied ,
and all that thou hast is multiplied ;
*
Then thine heart be lifted up ,
and thou forget the LORD thy God ,
which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt ,
from the house of bondage ;
*
Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness ,
wherein were fiery serpents ,
and scorpions ,
and drought ,
where there was no water ;
who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint ;
*
Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna ,
which thy fathers knew not ,
that he might humble thee ,
and that he might prove thee ,
to do thee good at thy latter end ;
*
And thou say in thine heart ,
My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth .
*
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 sware unto thy fathers ,
as it is this day .
*
And it shall be ,
if thou do 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 .
*
As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face ,
so shall ye perish ;
because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God .
*
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 fenced up to heaven ,
