Deuteronomy:16-19
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:1 @ Observe the month Abib, and keep the Passover to the LORD your God. For in the month of Abib, the LORD your God brought you forth out of Egypt by night.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:2 @ And you shall therefore sacrifice the Passover to the LORD your God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place His name there.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:3 @ You shall eat no leavened [bread] with it. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread with it, the bread of affliction, for you came forth out of the land of Egypt in haste, so that you may remember the day that you came forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:4 @ And there shall be no leavened [bread] seen with you in all your borders for seven days. Nor shall [any] of the flesh which you sacrificed in the first day at evening remain all night until the morning.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:5 @ You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates, which the LORD your God gives you,
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:6 @ but at the place which the LORD your God shall choose to place His name in, there you shall sacrifice the Passover at evening, at the going of the sun, at the time that you came out of Egypt.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:7 @ And you shall roast and eat in the place which the LORD your God shall choose. And in the morning you shall turn and go to your tents.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:8 @ Six days you shall eat unleavened [bread]. And on the seventh day [shall be] a solemn assembly to the LORD your God. You shall do no work.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:9 @ You shall count seven weeks to yourselves. Begin to count the seven weeks from the time you began [to put] the sickle to the grain.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:10 @ And you shall keep the Feast of Weeks to the LORD your God with a measure of a free-will offering of your hand, which you shall give according as the LORD your God has blessed you.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:11 @ And you shall rejoice before the LORD your God, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male servant, and your slave-girl, and the Levite inside your gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, those among you, in the place which the LORD your God has chosen to place His name there.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:12 @ And you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt. And you shall be careful to do these statutes.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:13 @ You shall keep the Feast of Tabernacles seven days after you have gathered in your grain floor and your wine press.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:14 @ And you shall rejoice in your feast, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male slave, and your slave-girl, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow inside your gates.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:15 @ Seven days you shall keep a solemn feast to the LORD your God in the place which the LORD shall choose. Because the LORD your God shall bless you in all your increase, and in all the works of your hands, therefore you shall surely rejoice.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:16 @ Three times in a year shall all your males appear before the LORD your God in the place which He shall choose: in the Feast of Unleavened [Bread], and in the Feast of Weeks, and in the Feast of Tabernacles. And they shall not appear before the LORD empty,
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:17 @ [but] each with his gift in his hand, according to the blessing of the LORD your God, which He has given you.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:18 @ You shall appoint judges and officers for yourself in all your gates which the LORD your God gives you, tribe by tribe. And they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:19 @ You shall not pervert judgment; you shall not respect persons, nor take a gift. For a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:20 @ You shall follow that which is altogether just, that you may live and inherit the land which the LORD your God gives you.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:21 @ You shall not set up for yourself pillars of any trees near the altar of the LORD your God which you shall make for yourself.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:16:22 @ Nor shall you set up an image, which the LORD your God hates.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:17:1 @ You shall not sacrifice to the LORD your God [any] bull or sheep in which there is a blemish, any evil thing, for that is an abomination to the LORD your God.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:17:2 @ If there is found among you, inside any of your gates which the LORD your God gives you, a man or woman who does what is evil in the sight of the LORD your God, in breaking His covenant,
mkjv@Deuteronomy:17:3 @ and has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, either the sun, or moon, or any [of] the host of heaven, which I have not commanded,
mkjv@Deuteronomy:17:4 @ and if it is told you, and you have heard and inquired carefully, and, behold, it is true and the thing is certain, such abomination is done in Israel;
mkjv@Deuteronomy:17:5 @ then you shall bring forth that man or that woman who has committed that evil thing, to your gates, even that man or that woman, and shall stone them with stones until they die.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:17:6 @ At the mouth of two witnesses or three witnesses shall he that is worthy of death be put to death. At the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:17:7 @ The hands of the witnesses shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterwards the hands of all the people. So you shall put the evil away from among you.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:17:8 @ If a matter [is] too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, matters of strife within your gates, then you shall arise and go up to the place which the LORD your God shall choose.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:17:9 @ And [you] shall come to the priests of the Levites, and to the judge that shall be in those days, and ask. And they shall declare to you the sentence of judgment.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:17:10 @ And you shall do according to the sentence which they declare to you from that place which the LORD shall choose. And you shall be careful to do according to all that they tell you.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:17:11 @ According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach you and according to the judgment which they shall tell you, you shall do. You shall not turn aside from the sentence which they shall show you, to the right hand or the left.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:17:12 @ And the man that acts proudly and will not listen to the priest who stands to minister there before the LORD your God, or to the judge, even that man shall die. And you shall put away the evil from Israel.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:17:13 @ And all the people shall hear and fear, and not be presumptuous any more.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:17:14 @ When you come to the land which the LORD your God gives you, and shall possess it and shall live in it and shall say, I will set a king over me, like all the nations around me,
mkjv@Deuteronomy:17:15 @ you shall surely set a king over you, whom the LORD your God shall choose. You shall set a king over you from among your brothers. You may not set a stranger over you, who is not your brother.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:17:16 @ But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, so as to multiply horses, because the LORD has said to you, You shall return no more that way from now on.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:17:17 @ Nor shall he multiply wives to himself, so that his heart does not turn away. Nor shall he greatly multiply silver and gold to himself.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:17:18 @ And it shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he shall write a copy of this law in a book from before the priests the Levites.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:17:19 @ And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law, and these statutes, to do them,
mkjv@Deuteronomy:17:20 @ so that his heart may not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he does not turn aside from the commandment, to the right or the left, so that he may make his days longer in his kingdom, he and his sons, in the midst of Israel.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:1 @ The priests, the Levites, all the tribe of Levi, [shall have] no part nor inheritance with Israel. They shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and His inheritance.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:2 @ Therefore they shall have no inheritance among their brothers. The LORD [is ] their inheritance, as He has said to them.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:3 @ And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from those that offer a sacrifice, whether ox or sheep. And they shall give to the priest the shoulder and the two cheeks, and the stomach.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:4 @ You shall give him the first-fruit of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:5 @ For the LORD your God has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons forever.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:6 @ And if a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel, where he lived, and come with all the desire of his mind to the place which the LORD shall choose,
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:7 @ then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brothers and Levites who stand there before the LORD.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:8 @ They shall have the same portions to eat, besides that of the sales of [the inheritance from] his father.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:9 @ When you come to the land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:10 @ There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, [or] that uses divination, an observer of clouds, or a fortune-teller, or a witch,
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:11 @ or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or one who calls to the dead.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:12 @ For all that do these things [are] an abomination to the LORD. And because of these abominations the LORD your God drives them out from before you.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:13 @ You shall be perfect with the LORD your God.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:14 @ For these nations whom you shall possess listened to observers of clouds and to diviners. But as for you, the LORD your God has not allowed you [to do] so.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:15 @ The LORD your God will raise up to you a Prophet from the midst of you, of your brothers, One like me. To Him you shall listen,
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:16 @ according to all that you desired of the LORD your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying: Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, so that I do not die.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:17 @ And the LORD said to me, They have spoken well what they have spoken.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:18 @ I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brothers, [one] like you, and will put My words in His mouth. And He shall speak to them all that I shall command Him.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:19 @ And it shall happen, whatever man will not listen to My words which He shall speak in My name, I will require [it] of him.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:20 @ But the prophet who shall presume to speak a word in My name which I have not commanded him to speak or who shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:21 @ And if you say in your heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?
mkjv@Deuteronomy:18:22 @ When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not follow nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall not be afraid of him.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:19:1 @ When the LORD your God has cut off the nations whose land the LORD your God gives you, and when you take their place and live in their cities and in their houses,
mkjv@Deuteronomy:19:2 @ you shall separate three cities for you in the middle of your land, which the LORD your God gives you to possess it.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:19:3 @ You shall prepare you a way, and divide the borders of your land which the LORD your God gives you to inherit, into three parts, so that every slayer may flee there.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:19:4 @ And this [is] the case of the slayer who shall flee there that he may live: whoever in error kills his neighbor whom he did not hate him before,
mkjv@Deuteronomy:19:5 @ even he who goes into the wood with his neighbor to cut wood, and his hand brings a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slips from the wood and lights on his neighbor so that he dies; he shall flee to one of those cities and live,
mkjv@Deuteronomy:19:6 @ so that the avenger of the blood may not pursue the slayer while his heart is hot, and overtake him because the way is long, and kill him, and he had no sentence worthy of death, for he did not hate him in time past.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:19:7 @ Therefore I command you saying, You shall separate three cities for you.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:19:8 @ And if the LORD your God makes your border larger, as He has sworn to your fathers, and gives you all the land which He promised to give to your fathers;
mkjv@Deuteronomy:19:9 @ if you will keep all these commandments which I command you today, to do them, to love the LORD your God, and to walk always in His ways, then you shall add to yourself three more cities to these three,
mkjv@Deuteronomy:19:10 @ so that innocent blood may not be shed in your land which the LORD your God gives you [for] an inheritance and blood may not be on you.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:19:11 @ But if a man hates his neighbor and lies in wait for him and rises up against him and strikes his life from him, so that he dies, and flees to one of these cities,
mkjv@Deuteronomy:19:12 @ then the elders of his city shall send and bring him away from there and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood so that he may die.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:19:13 @ Your eye shall not pity him, but you shall put away innocent blood from Israel, so that it may go well with you.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:19:14 @ You may not remove your neighbor's landmark, which those in the past have set in your inheritance, which you shall inherit in the land which the LORD your God gives you to possess it.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:19:15 @ One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sins. At the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be made sure.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:19:16 @ If a false witness rises up against any man to testify a falling away against him,
mkjv@Deuteronomy:19:17 @ then both the men who are disagreeing shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges which shall be in those days.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:19:18 @ And the judges shall make careful inquiry. And behold, [if] the witness [is] a false witness [and] has testified falsely against his brother,
mkjv@Deuteronomy:19:19 @ then you shall do to him as he had thought to have done to his brother. So you shall put the evil away from among you.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:19:20 @ And those who remain shall hear and fear, and shall commit from then on no such evil among you.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:19:21 @ And your eye shall not pity. Life [shall go] for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
mkjv@Deuteronomy:20:1 @ When you go out to battle against your enemies and see horses and chariots, a people more than you, do not be afraid of them. For the LORD your God [is] with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
