3 Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and aOg the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle bat Edrei. 2 And the 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 cSihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. 3 So the Lord our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: dand we smote him until none was left to him remaining. 4 And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, eall the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5 All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside funwalled towns a great many. 6 And we gutterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king hof Heshbon, utterly destroying ithe men, women, and children, of every city. 7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves. 8 And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon; 9 (Which jHermon the Sidonians call kSirion; and the Amorites call it lShenir;) 10 All the cities of mthe plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto nSalchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of ogiants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in pRabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit qof a man. 12 And this land, which we possessed at that time, rfrom Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and sthe cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites. 13 And tthe rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; uall the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of xgiants. 14 yJair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto the coasts of zGeshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own name, yBashan-havoth-jair, unto this day. 15 aAnd I gave Gilead unto Machir. 16 And unto the Reubenites band unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the river Jabbok, cwhich is the border of the children of Ammon; 17 The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast thereof, from dChinnereth eeven unto the sea of the plain, feven the salt sea, ||under Ashdoth-pisgah eastward.

18 And I commanded you at that time, saying, The Lord your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over garmed before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are †meet for the war. 19 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (for hI know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have given you; 20 Until ithe Lord have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and until they also possess the land which the Lord your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given you. 21 And I commanded kJoshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the Lord your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the Lord do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest. 22 Ye shall not fear them: for lthe Lord your God he shall fight for you. 23 And I besought the Lord at that time, saying, 24 O Lord God, thou hast begun to shew thy servant mthy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for nwhat God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might? 25 I pray thee, let me go over, and see othe good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and pLebanon. 26 But the Lord qwas wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the Lord said unto me, rLet it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter. 27 sGet thee up into the top of ||Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan. 28 But tcharge Joshua, and uencourage him, wand strengthen him: for uhe shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see. 29 So we abode in xthe valley over against Beth-peor.

4 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto athe statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you. 2 bYe shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. 3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of cBaal-peor: for all the men that followed Baal-peor, the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you. 4 But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God are alive every one of you this day. 5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. 6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is dyour wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, eSurely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. 7 For fwhat nation is there so great, who hath gGod so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for? 8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day? 9 Only take heed to thyself, and hkeep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but iteach them thy sons, and thy sons’ sons; 10 Specially kthe day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children. 11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the lmountain burned with fire unto the †midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness. 12 mAnd the Lord spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: nye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; o†only ye heard a voice. 13 pAnd he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten qcommandments; and rhe wrote them upon two tables of stone. 14 And sthe Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it. 15 tTake ye therefore good heed unto tyourselves; for ye saw no manner of usimilitude on the day that the Lord spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire: 16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and xmake you a graven image, the similitude of any yfigure, zthe likeness of male or female, 17 The zlikeness of any beast that is on the earth, the zlikeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air, 18 The zlikeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the zlikeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth: 19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest athe sun, and the moon, and the stars, even ball the host of heaven, cshouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the Lord thy God hath ||divided unto all nations under the whole heaven. 20 But the Lord hath taken you, and brought you forth dout of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people eof inheritance, as ye are this day. 21 Furthermore fthe Lord was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance: 22 But gI must die in this land, hI must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess ithat good land. 23 kTake heed unto yourselves, klest ye forget the covenant of the Lord your God, which he made with you, land make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the Lord thy God hath forbidden thee. 24 For mthe Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even na jealous God. 25 When thou shalt beget children, and children’s children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and oshall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and pshall do evil in the sight of the Lord thy God, pto provoke him to anger: 26 qI call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed. 27 And the Lord rshall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left sfew in number among the heathen, whither the Lord shall lead you. 28 And tthere ye shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, uwhich neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 29 wBut 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, xeven in the latter days, if thou yturn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; 31 (For the Lord thy God is za merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. 32 For aask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask bfrom 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 cDid 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, dby temptations, eby signs, and eby wonders, and by war, and fby a mighty hand, and gby a stretched out arm, and hby 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; ithere is none else beside him. 36 kOut 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 lhe 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 mTo 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 nthe Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: othere is none else. 40 pThou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, qthat 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 rsevered three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising; 42 That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbour sunawares, and hated him not tin times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live: 43 Namely, uBezer in the wilderness, in wthe 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, xin 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 ysmote, after they were come forth out of Egypt: 47 And they possessed his land, and the land zof Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sunrising; 48 aFrom Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount bSion, which is bHermon, 49 And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto bthe sea of the plain, under the csprings of Pisgah.

5 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 aThe Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 3 The Lord bmade 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 cface to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire, 5 d(I stood between the Lord and you at that time, to shew you the word of the Lord: for eye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,

6 fI 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 gAnd 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 hthe 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. 15 iAnd remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence kthrough a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day. 16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; lthat thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. 17 mThou shalt not kill. 18 mNeither shalt thou commit adultery. 19 Neither shalt thou steal. 20 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour. 21 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.

22 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 nhe wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me. 23 And it came to pass, owhen 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; 24 And ye said, Behold, the Lord our God hath shewed us his glory and phis greatness, and qwe have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he rliveth. 25 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: sif we †hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, then we shall die. 26 tFor 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? 27 Go thou near, and hear all that the Lord our God shall say: and uspeak thou unto us all that the Lord our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it. 28 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: xthey have well said all that they have spoken. 29 yO that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, zthat it might be well with them, and with their children for ever! 30 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again. 31 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and aI 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. 32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the Lord your God hath commanded you: bye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 33 cYe shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and dthat it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
