1. `And now, Israel, hearken unto the statutes, and unto the judgments which I am teaching you to do, so that ye live, and have gone in, and possessed the land which Jehovah God of your fathers is giving to you.
|
1. Now H6258 therefore hearken H8085 , O Israel H3478 , unto H413 the statutes H2706 and unto H413 the judgments H4941 , which H834 I H595 teach H3925 you , for to do H6213 them , that H4616 ye may live H2421 , and go in H935 and possess H3423 H853 the land H776 which H834 the LORD H3068 God H430 of your fathers H1 giveth H5414 you.
|
|
2. Ye do not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor diminish from it, to keep the commands of Jehovah your God which I am commanding you.
|
2. Ye shall not H3808 add H3254 unto H5921 the word H1697 which H834 I H595 command H6680 you, neither H3808 shall ye diminish H1639 aught from H4480 it , that ye may keep H8104 H853 the commandments H4687 of the LORD H3068 your God H430 which H834 I H595 command H6680 you.
|
|
3. `Your eyes are seeing that which Jehovah hath done in Baal-Peor, for every man who hath gone after Baal-Peor, Jehovah thy God hath destroyed him from thy midst;
|
3. Your eyes H5869 have seen H7200 H853 what H834 the LORD H3068 did H6213 because of Baal H1187 -peor: for H3588 all H3605 the men H376 that H834 followed H1980 H310 Baal H1187 -peor , the LORD H3068 thy God H430 hath destroyed H8045 them from among H4480 H7130 you.
|
|
4. and ye who are cleaving to Jehovah your God, are alive, all of you, to-day.
|
4. But ye H859 that did cleave H1695 unto the LORD H3068 your God H430 are alive H2416 every one H3605 of you this day H3117 .
|
|
5. `See, I have taught you statutes and judgments, as Jehovah my God hath commanded me -- to do so, in the midst of the land whither ye are going in to possess it;
|
5. Behold H7200 , I have taught H3925 you statutes H2706 and judgments H4941 , even as H834 the LORD H3068 my God H430 commanded H6680 me , that ye should do H6213 so H3651 in H7130 the land H776 whither H834 H8033 ye H859 go H935 to possess H3423 it.
|
|
6. and ye have kept and done them (for it is your wisdom and your understanding) before the eyes of the peoples who hear all these statutes, and they have said, Only, a people wise and understanding is this great nation.
|
6. Keep H8104 therefore and do H6213 them ; for H3588 this H1931 is your wisdom H2451 and your understanding H998 in the sight H5869 of the nations H5971 , which H834 shall hear H8085 H853 all H3605 these H428 statutes H2706 , and say H559 , Surely H7535 this H2088 great H1419 nation H1471 is a wise H2450 and understanding H995 people H5971 .
|
|
7. `For which is the great nation that hath God near unto it, as Jehovah our God, in all we have called unto him?
|
7. For H3588 what H4310 nation H1471 is there so great H1419 , who H834 hath God H430 so nigh H7138 unto H413 them , as the LORD H3068 our God H430 is in all H3605 things that we call H7121 upon H413 him for ?
|
|
8. and which is the great nation which hath righteous statutes and judgments according to all this law which I am setting before you to-day?
|
8. And what H4310 nation H1471 is there so great H1419 , that H834 hath statutes H2706 and judgments H4941 so righteous H6662 as all H3605 this H2063 law H8451 , which H834 I H595 set H5414 before H6440 you this day H3117 ?
|
|
9. `Only, take heed to thyself, and watch thy soul exceedingly, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they turn aside from thy heart, all days of thy life; and thou hast made them known to thy sons, and to thy sons` sons.
|
9. Only H7535 take heed H8104 to thyself , and keep H8104 thy soul H5315 diligently H3966 , lest H6435 thou forget H7911 H853 the things H1697 which H834 thine eyes H5869 have seen H7200 , and lest H6435 they depart H5493 from thy heart H4480 H3824 all H3605 the days H3117 of thy life H2416 : but teach H3045 them thy sons H1121 , and thy sons H1121 ' sons H1121 ;
|
|
10. `The day when thou hast stood before Jehovah thy God in Horeb -- in Jehovah`s saying unto me, Assemble to Me the people, and I cause them to hear My words, so that they learn to fear Me all the days that they are alive on the ground, and their sons they teach; --
|
10. Especially the day H3117 that H834 thou stoodest H5975 before H6440 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 in Horeb H2722 , when the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 me , Gather me the people together H6950 H853 H5971 , and I will make them hear H8085 H853 my words H1697 , that H834 they may learn H3925 to fear H3372 me all H3605 the days H3117 that H834 they H1992 shall live H2416 upon H5921 the earth H127 , and that they may teach H3925 their children H1121 .
|
|
11. and ye draw near and stand under the mountain, and the mountain is burning with fire unto the heart of the heavens -- darkness, cloud, yea, thick darkness:
|
11. And ye came near H7126 and stood H5975 under H8478 the mountain H2022 ; and the mountain H2022 burned H1197 with fire H784 unto H5704 the midst H3820 of heaven H8064 , with darkness H6205 , clouds H6051 , and thick darkness H6205 .
|
|
12. `And Jehovah speaketh unto you out of the midst of the fire; a voice of words ye are hearing and a similitude ye are not seeing, only a voice;
|
12. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 you out of the midst H4480 H8432 of the fire H784 : ye H859 heard H8085 the voice H6963 of the words H1697 , but saw H7200 no H369 similitude H8544 ; only H2108 ye heard a voice H6963 .
|
|
13. and He declareth to you His covenant, which He hath commanded you to do, the Ten Matters, and He writeth them upon two tables of stone.
|
13. And he declared H5046 unto you H853 his covenant H1285 , which H834 he commanded H6680 you to perform H6213 , even ten H6235 commandments H1697 ; and he wrote H3789 them upon H5921 two H8147 tables H3871 of stone H68 .
|
|
14. `And me hath Jehovah commanded at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, for your doing them in the land whither ye are passing over to possess it;
|
14. And the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 me at that H1931 time H6256 to teach H3925 you statutes H2706 and judgments H4941 , that ye might do H6213 them in the land H776 whither H834 H8033 ye H859 go over H5674 to possess H3423 it.
|
|
15. and ye have been very watchful of your souls, for ye have not seen any similitude in the day of Jehovah`s speaking unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire,
|
15. Take ye therefore good heed H8104 H3966 unto yourselves H5315 ; for H3588 ye saw H7200 no H3808 manner H3605 of similitude H8544 on the day H3117 that the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 you in Horeb H2722 out of the midst H4480 H8432 of the fire H784 :
|
|
16. lest ye do corruptly, and have made to you a graven image, a similitude of any figure, a form of male or female --
|
16. Lest H6435 ye corrupt H7843 yourselves , and make H6213 you a graven image H6459 , the similitude H8544 of any H3605 figure H5566 , the likeness H8403 of male H2145 or H176 female H5347 ,
|
|
17. a form of any beast which is in the earth -- a form of any winged bird which flieth in the heavens --
|
17. The likeness H8403 of any H3605 beast H929 that H834 is on the earth H776 , the likeness H8403 of any H3605 winged H3671 fowl H6833 that H834 flieth H5774 in the air H8064 ,
|
|
18. a form of any creeping thing on the ground -- a form of any fish which is in the waters under the earth;
|
18. The likeness H8403 of any thing H3605 that creepeth H7430 on the ground H127 , the likeness H8403 of any H3605 fish H1710 that H834 is in the waters H4325 beneath H4480 H8478 the earth H776 :
|
|
19. `And lest thou lift up thine eyes towards the heavens, and hast seen the sun, and the moon, and the stars, all the host of the heavens, and thou hast been forced, and hast bowed thyself to them, and served them, which Jehovah thy God hath apportioned to all the peoples under the whole heavens.
|
19. And lest H6435 thou lift up H5375 thine eyes H5869 unto heaven H8064 , and when thou seest H7200 H853 the sun H8121 , and the moon H3394 , and the stars H3556 , even all H3605 the host H6635 of heaven H8064 , shouldest be driven H5080 to worship H7812 them , and serve H5647 them, which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 hath divided H2505 H853 unto all H3605 nations H5971 under H8478 the whole H3605 heaven H8064 .
|
|
20. `And you hath Jehovah taken, and He is bringing you out from the iron furnace, from Egypt, to be to Him for a people -- an inheritance, as at this day.
|
20. But the LORD H3068 hath taken H3947 you , and brought you forth H3318 H853 out of the iron H1270 furnace H4480 H3564 , even out of Egypt H4480 H4714 , to be H1961 unto him a people H5971 of inheritance H5159 , as ye are this H2088 day H3117 .
|
|
21. `And Jehovah hath shewed himself wroth with me because of your words, and sweareth to my not passing over the Jordan, and to my not going in unto the good land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee -- an inheritance;
|
21. Furthermore the LORD H3068 was angry H599 with me for your sakes H5921 H1697 , and swore H7650 that I should not H1115 go over H5674 H853 Jordan H3383 , and that I should not H1115 go in H935 unto H413 that good H2896 land H776 , which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 giveth H5414 thee for an inheritance H5159 :
|
|
22. for I am dying in this land; I am not passing over the Jordan, and ye are passing over, and have possessed this good land.
|
22. But H3588 I H595 must die H4191 in this H2063 land H776 , I must not H369 go over H5674 H853 Jordan H3383 : but ye H859 shall go over H5674 , and possess H3423 H853 that H2063 good H2896 land H776 .
|
|
23. `Take heed to yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of Jehovah your God, which He hath made with you, and have made to yourselves a graven image, a similitude of anything concerning which Jehovah thy God hath charged thee:
|
23. Take heed H8104 unto yourselves, lest H6435 ye forget H7911 H853 the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 your God H430 , which H834 he made H3772 with H5973 you , and make H6213 you a graven image H6459 , or the likeness H8544 of any H3605 thing , which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 hath forbidden H6680 thee.
|
|
24. for Jehovah thy God is a fire consuming -- a zealous God.
|
24. For H3588 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 is a consuming H398 fire H784 , even a jealous H7067 God H410 .
|
|
25. `When thou begettest sons and sons` sons, and ye have become old in the land, and have done corruptly, and have made a graven image, a similitude of anything, and have done the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke Him to anger: --
|
25. When H3588 thou shalt beget H3205 children H1121 , and children H1121 's children H1121 , and ye shall have remained long H3462 in the land H776 , and shall corrupt H7843 yourselves , and make H6213 a graven image H6459 , or the likeness H8544 of any H3605 thing , and shall do H6213 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , to provoke him to anger H3707 :
|
|
26. I have caused to testify against you this day the heavens and the earth, that ye do perish utterly hastily from off the land whither ye are passing over the Jordan to possess it; ye do not prolong days upon it, but are utterly destroyed;
|
26. I call H5749 H853 heaven H8064 and earth H776 to witness H5749 against you this day H3117 , that H3588 ye shall soon H4118 utterly perish H6 H6 from off H4480 H5921 the land H776 whereunto H834 H8033 ye H859 go over H5674 H853 Jordan H3383 to possess H3423 it ; ye shall not H3808 prolong H748 your days H3117 upon H5921 it, but H3588 shall utterly be destroyed H8045 H8045 .
|
|
27. and Jehovah hath scattered you among the peoples, and ye have been left few in number among the nations, whither Jehovah leadeth you,
|
27. And the LORD H3068 shall scatter H6327 you among the nations H5971 , and ye shall be left H7604 few H4962 in number H4557 among the heathen H1471 , whither H834 H8033 the LORD H3068 shall lead H5090 you.
|
|
28. and ye have served there gods, work of man`s hands, wood and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
|
28. And there H8033 ye shall serve H5647 gods H430 , the work H4639 of men H120 's hands H3027 , wood H6086 and stone H68 , which H834 neither H3808 see H7200 , nor H3808 hear H8085 , nor H3808 eat H398 , nor H3808 smell H7306 .
|
|
29. `And -- ye have sought from thence Jehovah thy God, and hast found, when thou seekest Him with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
|
29. But if from thence H4480 H8033 thou shalt seek H1245 H853 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , thou shalt find H4672 him , if H3588 thou seek H1875 him with all H3605 thy heart H3824 and with all H3605 thy soul H5315 .
|
|
30. in distress being to thee, and all these things have found thee, in the latter end of the days, and thou hast turned back unto Jehovah thy God, and hast hearkened to His voice;
|
30. When thou art in tribulation H6862 , and all H3605 these H428 things H1697 are come H4672 upon thee, even in the latter H319 days H3117 , if thou turn H7725 to H5704 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , and shalt be obedient H8085 unto his voice H6963 ;
|
|
31. for a merciful God is Jehovah thy God; He doth not fail thee, nor destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers, which He hath sworn to them.
|
31. ( For H3588 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 is a merciful H7349 God;) H410 he will not H3808 forsake H7503 thee, neither H3808 destroy H7843 thee, nor H3808 forget H7911 H853 the covenant H1285 of thy fathers H1 which H834 he swore H7650 unto them.
|
|
32. `For, ask, I pray thee, at the former days which have been before thee, from the day that God prepared man on the earth, and from the one end of the heavens even unto the other end of the heavens, whether there hath been as this great thing -- or hath been heard like it?
|
32. For H3588 ask H7592 now H4994 of the days H3117 that are past H7223 , which H834 were H1961 before H6440 thee, since H4480 the day H3117 that H834 God H430 created H1254 man H120 upon H5921 the earth H776 , and ask from the one side H4480 H7097 of heaven H8064 unto H5704 the other H7097 H8064 , whether there hath been H1961 any such thing as this H2088 great H1419 thing H1697 is , or H176 hath been heard H8085 like it H3644 ?
|
|
33. Hath a people heard the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, thou -- and doth live?
|
33. Did ever people H5971 hear H8085 the voice H6963 of God H430 speaking H1696 out of the midst H4480 H8432 of the fire H784 , as H834 thou H859 hast heard H8085 , and live H2421 ?
|
|
34. Or hath God tried to go in to take to Himself, a nation from the midst of a nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terrors -- according to all that Jehovah your God hath done to you, in Egypt, before your eyes?
|
34. Or H176 hath God H430 attempted H5254 to go H935 and take H3947 him a nation H1471 from the midst H4480 H7130 of another nation H1471 , by temptations H4531 , by signs H226 , and by wonders H4159 , and by war H4421 , and by a mighty H2389 hand H3027 , and by a stretched out H5186 arm H2220 , and by great H1419 terrors H4172 , according to all H3605 that H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 did H6213 for you in Egypt H4714 before your eyes H5869 ?
|
|
35. Thou, thou hast been shewn it, to know that Jehovah He is God; there is none else besides Him.
|
35. Unto thee H859 it was showed H7200 , that thou mightest know H3045 that H3588 the LORD H3068 he H1931 is God H430 ; there is none H369 else H5750 beside H4480 H905 him.
|
|
36. `From the heavens He hath caused thee to hear His voice, to instruct thee, and on earth He hath shewed thee His great fire, and His words thou hast heard out of the midst of the fire.
|
36. Out of H4480 heaven H8064 he made thee to hear H8085 H853 his voice H6963 , that he might instruct H3256 thee : and upon H5921 earth H776 he showed H7200 thee H853 his great H1419 fire H784 ; and thou heardest H8085 his words H1697 out of the midst H4480 H8432 of the fire H784 .
|
|
37. `And because that He hath loved thy fathers, He doth also fix on their seed after them, and doth bring thee out, in His presence, by His great power, from Egypt:
|
37. And because H8478 H3588 he loved H157 H853 thy fathers H1 , therefore he chose H977 their seed H2233 after H310 them , and brought thee out H3318 in his sight H6440 with his mighty H1419 power H3581 out of Egypt H4480 H4714 ;
|
|
38. to dispossess nations greater and stronger than thou, from thy presence, to bring thee in to give to thee their land -- an inheritance, as at this day.
|
38. To drive out H3423 nations H1471 from before H4480 H6440 thee greater H1419 and mightier H6099 than H4480 thou art , to bring thee in H935 , to give H5414 thee H853 their land H776 for an inheritance H5159 , as it is this H2088 day H3117 .
|
|
39. `And thou hast known to-day, and hast turned it back unto thy heart, that Jehovah He is God, in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath -- there is none else;
|
39. Know H3045 therefore this day H3117 , and consider H7725 it in H413 thine heart H3824 , that H3588 the LORD H3068 he H1931 is God H430 in heaven H8064 above H4480 H4605 , and upon H5921 the earth H776 beneath H4480 H8478 : there is none H369 else H5750 .
|
|
40. and thou hast kept His statutes and His commands which I am commanding thee to-day, so that it is well to thee, and to thy sons after thee, and so that thou prolongest days on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee -- all the days.`
|
40. Thou shalt keep H8104 therefore H853 his statutes H2706 , and his commandments H4687 , which H834 I H595 command H6680 thee this day H3117 , that H834 it may go well H3190 with thee , and with thy children H1121 after H310 thee , and that H4616 thou mayest prolong H748 thy days H3117 upon H5921 the earth H127 , which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 giveth H5414 thee, forever H3605 H3117 .
|
|
41. Then Moses separateth three cities beyond the Jordan, towards the sun-rising,
|
41. Then H227 Moses H4872 severed H914 three H7969 cities H5892 on this side H5676 Jordan H3383 toward the sunrising H4217 H8121 ;
|
|
42. for the fleeing thither of the man-slayer, who slayeth his neighbour unknowingly, and he is not hating him heretofore, and he hath fled unto one of these cities, and he hath lived:
|
42. That the slayer H7523 might flee H5127 thither H8033 , which H834 should kill H7523 H853 his neighbor H7453 unawares H1097 H1847 , and hated H8130 him not H3808 in times past H4480 H8543 H8032 ; and that fleeing H5127 unto H413 one H259 of H4480 these H411 cities H5892 he might live H2425 :
|
|
43. Bezer, in the wilderness, in the land of the plain, of the Reubenite; and Ramoth, in Gilead, of the Gadite; and Golan, in Bashan, of the Manassahite.
|
43. Namely , H853 Bezer H1221 in the wilderness H4057 , in the plain H4334 country H776 , of the Reubenites H7206 ; and Ramoth H7216 in Gilead H1568 , of the Gadites H1425 ; and Golan H1474 in Bashan H1316 , of the Manassites H4520 .
|
|
44. And this is the law which Moses hath set before the sons of Israel;
|
44. And this H2063 is the law H8451 which H834 Moses H4872 set H7760 before H6440 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 :
|
|
45. these are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses hath spoken unto the sons of Israel, in their coming out of Egypt,
|
45. These H428 are the testimonies H5713 , and the statutes H2706 , and the judgments H4941 , which H834 Moses H4872 spoke H1696 unto H413 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , after they came forth H3318 out of Egypt H4480 H4714 ,
|
|
46. beyond the Jordan, in the valley over-against Beth-Peor, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorite, who is dwelling in Heshbon, whom Moses and the sons of Israel have smitten, in their coming out of Egypt,
|
46. On this side H5676 Jordan H3383 , in the valley H1516 over against H4136 Beth H1047 -peor , in the land H776 of Sihon H5511 king H4428 of the Amorites H567 , who H834 dwelt H3427 at Heshbon H2809 , whom H834 Moses H4872 and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 smote H5221 , after they were come forth H3318 out of Egypt H4480 H4714 :
|
|
47. and they possess his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorite who are beyond the Jordan, towards the sun-rising;
|
47. And they possessed H3423 H853 his land H776 , and the land H776 of Og H5747 king H4428 of Bashan H1316 , two H8147 kings H4428 of the Amorites H567 , which H834 were on this side H5676 Jordan H3383 toward the sunrising H4217 H8121 ;
|
|
