The Fifth Booke of Moses , called Deuteronomie . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.3) CHAP. I . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.4) {COM:introduction_omitted} 1 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.7) These bee the woordes which Moses spake vnto all Israel , on this side Iordane in the wildernes , in the plaine ouer against the Red sea , betweene Paran , and Tophel , and Laban , and Hazeroth , and Dizahab . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.8) 2 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.9) There are eleuen daies iourney from Horeb , by the way of mount Seir , vnto Kadesh-Barnea . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.10) 3 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.11) And it came to passe in the fourtieth yeere , in the eleuenth moneth , on the first day of the moneth , that Moses spake vnto the children of Israel , according vnto all that the Lord had giuen him in commandement vnto them : 4 After hee had slaine Sihon the King of the Amorites , which dwelt in Heshbon , and Og the King of Bashan , which dwelt at Astaroth , in Edrei . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.12) 5 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.13) On this side Iordane , in the land of Moab , began Moses to declare this law , saying , 6 The Lord our God spake vnto vs in Horeb , saying , Ye haue dwelt long ynough in this mount : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.14) 7 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.15) Turne you , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.16) and take your iourney , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.17) and goe to the mount of the Amorites , and vnto all the places nigh thereunto , in the plaine , in the hills , and in the vale , and in the South , and by the sea side , to the land of the Canaanites , and vnto Lebanon , vnto the great riuer , the riuer Euphrates . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.18) 8 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.19) Behold , I haue set the land before you : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.20) Goe in , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.21) and possesse the land , which the Lord sware vnto your fathers , Abraham , Isaac , and Iacob , to giue vnto them , and to their seed after them . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.22) 9 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.23) And I spake vnto you at that time , saying , I am not able to beare you my selfe alone : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.24) (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.25) The Lord your God hath multiplied you , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.26) and beholde , you are this day as the starres of heauen for multitude . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.27) 11 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.28) The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many moe as ye are , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.29) and blesse you as he hath promised you . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.30) 12 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.31) How can I my selfe alone beare your cumbrance , and your burden , and your strife ? (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.32) 13 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.33) Take ye wise men , and vnderstanding , and knowen among your tribes , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.34) and I will make them rulers ouer you . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.35) 14 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.36) And ye answered me , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.37) and saide , The thing which thou hast spoken , is good for vs to doe . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.38) 15 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.39) So I tooke the chiefe of your tribes , wise men , and knowen , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.40) and made them heads ouer you , captaines ouer thousands , and captaines ouer hundreds , and captaines ouer fifties , and captaines ouer tennes , and officers among your tribes . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.41) 16 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.42) And I charged your Iudges at that time , saying , Heare the causes betweene your brethren , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.43) and iudge righteously betweene euery man and his brother , & the stranger that is with him . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.44) 17 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.45) Ye shall not respect persons in iudgement , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.46) but you shall heare the small aswell as the great : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.47) you shall not bee afraid of the face of man , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.48) for the iudgment is Gods : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.49) and the cause that is too hard for you , bring it vnto me , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.50) and I will heare it . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.51) 18 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.52) And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should doe . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.53) 19 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.54) And when wee departed from Horeb , we went through all that great and terrible wildernes , which you saw by the way of the mountaine of the Amorites , as the Lord our God commanded vs : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.55) and wee came to Kadesh Barnea . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,1D.56) (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.58) And I said vnto you , Ye are come vnto the mountaine of the Amorites , which the Lord our God doth giue vnto vs . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.59) 21 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.60) Behold , the Lord thy God hath set the land before thee : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.61) Goe vp , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.62) and possesse it , as the Lord God of thy fathers hath said vnto thee : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.63) Feare not , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.64) neither be discouraged . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.65) 22 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.66) And ye came neere vnto mee euery one of you , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.67) and said , We will send men before vs , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.68) and they shall search vs out the land , and bring vs word againe , what way we must goe vp , and into what cities we shall come . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.69) 23 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.70) And the saying pleased mee well : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.71) and I tooke twelue men of you , one of a tribe . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.72) 24 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.73) And they turned (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.74) and went vp to the mountaine , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.75) and came vnto the alley of Eshcol , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.76) and searched it out . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.77) 25 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.78) And they tooke of the fruit of the land in their handes , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.79) and brought it downe unto vs , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.80) and brought vs worde againe , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.81) and said , It is a good lande which the Lord our God doeth giue vs . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.82) 26 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.83) Notwithstanding , ye would not goe vp , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.84) but rebelled against the commandement of the Lord your God . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.85) 27 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.86) And ye murmured in your tents (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.87) and said , Because the Lord hated vs , he hath brought vs forth out of the land of Egypt , to deliuer vs into the hand of the Amorites , to destroy vs : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.88) 28 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.89) Whither shall wee goe vp ? (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.90) our brethren haue discouraged our heart , saying , The people is greater and taller then we , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.91) the cities are great , and walled vp to heauen , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.92) and moreouer we haue seene the sonnes of the Anakims there . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.93) 29 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.94) Then I said vnto you , Dread not , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.95) neither be afraid of them . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.96) (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.97) The Lord your God which goeth before you , he shall fight for you , according to all that hee did for you in Egypt before your eyes : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.98) 31 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.99) And in the wildernes , where thou hast seene how that the Lord thy God bare thee , as a man doth beare his sonne , in all the way that ye went , vntil ye came into this place . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.100) 32 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.101) Yet in this thing ye did not beleeue the Lord your God . 33 Who went in the way before you to search you out a place to pitch your tents in , in fire by night , to shew you by what way ye should goe , and in a cloud by day . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.102) 34 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.103) And the Lord heard the voice of your words , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.104) and was wroth , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.105) and sware , saying , 35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this euill generation see that good land , which I sware to giue vnto your fathers : 36 Saue Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.106) he shall see it , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.107) and to him will I giue the land that he hath troden vpon , and to his children , because hee hath wholly followed the Lord . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.108) 37 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.109) Also the Lord was angry with me for your sakes , saying , Thou also shalt not goe in thither . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.110) 38 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.111) But Ioshua the sonne of Nun , which standeth before thee , he shall goe in thither . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.112) Encourage him : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.113) for he shall cause Israel to inherite it . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.114) 39 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.115) Moreouer , your litle ones , which ye said should be a pray , and your children , which in that day had no knowledge betweene good and euil , they shall goe in thither ; (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.116) and vnto them will I giue it , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.117) and they shall possesse it . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,20D.118) (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.120) But as for you , turne ye , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.121) and take your iourney into the wildernesse , by the way of the Red sea . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.122) 41 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.123) Then ye answered , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.124) and said vnto mee , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.125) Wee haue sinned against the Lord , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.126) we will goe vp and fight , according to all that the Lord our God commanded vs . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.127) And when ye had girded on euery man his weapons of warre , yee were ready to goe vp into the hill . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.128) 42 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.129) And the Lord said vnto me , Say vnto them , Goe not vp , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.130) neither fight , for I am not among you : least ye be smitten before your enemies . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.131) 43 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.132) So I spake vnto you , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.133) and you would not heare , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.134) but rebelled against the commandement of the Lord , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.135) and went presumptuously vp into the hill . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.136) 44 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.137) And the Amorites which dwelt in that mountaine , came out against you , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.138) and chased you , as Bees doe , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.139) and destroyed you in Seir , euen vnto Hormah . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.140) 45 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.141) And ye returned (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.142) and wept before the Lord ; (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.143) but the Lord would not hearken to your voyce , nor giue eare vnto you . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.144) 46 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.145) So yee abode in Kadesh many dayes , according vnto the dayes that ye abode there . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,I,40D.146) CHAP. II . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.149) {COM:introduction_omitted} 1 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.152) Then we turned , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.153) and tooke our iourney into the wildernesse , by the way of the Red sea , as the Lord spake vnto mee : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.154) and wee compassed mount Seir many dayes . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.155) 2 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.156) And the Lord spake vnto me , saying , 3 Yee haue compassed this mountaine long enough : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.157) turne you Northward . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.158) 4 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.159) And commaund thou the people , saying , Ye are to passe through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau , which dwell in Seir , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.160) and they shall be afraid of you : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.161) take ye good heed vnto your selues therefore . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.162) 5 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.163) Meddle not with them , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.164) for I will not giue you of their land , no not so much as a foote breadth , because I haue giuen mount Seir vnto Esau for possession . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.165) 6 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.166) Ye shall buy meat of them for money , that ye may eat , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.167) and yee shall also buy water of them for money , that yee may drinke . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.168) 7 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.169) For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee , in all the workes of thy hand : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.170) hee knoweth thy walking thorow this great wildernesse : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.171) these fourtie yeres the Lord thy God hath bene with thee , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.172) thou hast lacked nothing . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.173) 8 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.174) And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau , which dwelt in Seir , thorow the way of the plaine from Elath , and from Ezion-Gaber , wee turned (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.175) and passed by the way of the wildernesse of Moab . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.176) 9 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.177) And the Lord said vnto mee , Distresse not the Moabites , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.178) neither contend with them in battell : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.179) for I wil not giue thee of their land for a possession , because I haue giuen Ar vnto the children of Lot for a possession . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.180) (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.181) The Emims dwelt therein in times past , a people great , and many , and tall , as the Anakims . 11 Which also were accounted giants , as the Anakims , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.182) but the Moabites call them Emims . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.183) 12 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.184) The Horims also dwelt in Seir before time , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.185) but the children of Esau succeeded them when they had destroyed them from before them , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.186) & dwelt in their stead , as Israel did vnto the land of his possession , which the Lord gaue vnto them . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.187) 13 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.188) Now rise vp , said I , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.189) and get you ouer the brooke Zered : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.190) and we went ouer the brooke Zered . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.191) 14 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.192) And the space in which we came from Kadesh Barnea , vntill we were come ouer the brooke Zered , was thirtie and eight yeeres ; vntill all the generation of the men of warre were wasted out from among the hoste , as the Lord sware vnto them . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.193) 15 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.194) For indeed the hand of the Lord was against them , to destroy them from among the hoste , vntill they were consumed . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.195) 16 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.196) So it came to passe , when all the men of warre were consumed and dead from among the people , 17 That the Lord spake vnto me , saying , 18 Thou art to passe ouer thorow Ar , the coast of Moab , this day . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.197) 19 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.198) And when thou commest nigh ouer against the children of Ammon , distresse them not , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.199) nor meddle with them : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.200) for I will not giue thee of the lande of the children of Ammon any possession , because I haue giuen it vnto the children of Lot for a possession : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,1D.201) (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.203) That also was accounted a land of Giants : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.204) giants dwelt therein in old time , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.205) and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.206) 21 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.207) A people great , and many , and tall , as the Anakims : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.208) but the Lord destroyed them before them , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.209) and they succeeded them (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.210) & dwelt in their stead : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.211) 22 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.212) As he did to the children of Esau which dwelt in Seir , when he destroyed the Horims from before them , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.213) and they succeeded them , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.214) and dwelt in their stead euen vnto this day . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.215) 23 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.216) And the Auims which dwelt in Hazerim , euen vnto Azzah , the Caphtorims which came foorth out of Caphtor destroyed them , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.217) and dwelt in their stead . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.218) 24 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.219) Rise ye vp , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.220) take your iourney , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.221) and passe ouer the riuer Arnon : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.222) Behold , I haue giuen into thy hand Sihon the Amorite king of Heshbon , and his land : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.223) begin to possesse it , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.224) and contend with him in battell . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.225) 25 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.226) This day will I begin to put the dread of thee , and the feare of thee vpon the nations , that are vnder the whole heauen , who shall heare report of thee , and shall tremble , and be in anguish because of thee . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.227) 26 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.228) And I sent messengers out of the wildernesse of Kedemoth , vnto Sihon king of Heshbon , with wordes of peace , saying , 27 Let me passe through thy land : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.229) I will goe along by the high way , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.230) I will neither-1 turne vnto the right hand , nor to the left . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.231) 28 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.232) Thou shalt sell me meat for money , that I may eate , and give me water for money that I may drinke : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.233) Only I will passe through on my feet : 29 As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir , and the Moabites which dwell in Ar , did vnto me , vntill I shall passe ouer Iordan , into the land which the Lord our God giueth vs . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.234) (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.235) But Sihon King of Heshbon would not let vs passe by him : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.236) for the Lord thy God hardened his spirit , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.237) and made his heart obstinate , that hee might deliuer him into thy hand , as appeareth this day . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.238) 31 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.239) And the Lord said vnto mee , Behold , I haue begun to give Sihon and his land before thee : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.240) begin to possesse , that thou mayest inherit his land . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.241) 32 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.242) Then Sihon came out against vs , he & all his people to fight at Iahaz . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.243) 33 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.244) And the Lord our God deliuered him before vs , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.245) and wee smote him , and his sonnes , and all his people . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.246) 34 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.247) And we tooke all his cities at that time , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.248) and vtterly destroyed the men , and the women , and the litle ones of euery citie , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.249) we left none to remaine : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.250) 35 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.251) Onely the cattell wee tooke for a pray vnto our selues , and the spoyle of the cities , which we tooke : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.252) 36 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.253) From Aroer , which is by the brinke of the riuer of Arnon , and from the citie that is by the riuer euen vnto Gilead , there was not one citie too strong for vs : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.254) the Lord our God delivered all vnto vs . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.255) 37 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.256) Onely vnto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not , nor vnto any place of the riuer Iabbok , nor vnto the cities in the mountaines , nor vnto whatsoever the Lord our God forbade vs . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,II,20D.257) CHAP. III . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.260) {COM:introduction_omitted} 1 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.263) Then we turned , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.264) and went vp the way to Bashan : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.265) and Og the King of Bashan came out against vs , hee , and all his people to battell at Edrei . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.266) 2 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.267) And the Lord said vnto mee , Feare him not : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.268) for I will deliuer him , and all his people , and his land into thy hand , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.269) and thou shalt doe vnto him as thou didst vnto Sihon king of the Amorites , which dwelt at Heshbon . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.270) 3 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.271) So the Lord our God deliuered into our hands Og also the King of Bashan , and all his people : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.272) and wee smote him vntill none was left to him remayning . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.273) 4 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.274) And we tooke all his cities at that time , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.275) there was not a citie which wee tooke not from them ; (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.276) threescore cities , all the region of Argob , the kingdome of Og in Bashan . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.277) 5 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.278) All these cities were fenced with high walles , gates and barres , beside vnwalled townes a great many . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.279) 6 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.280) And we vtterly destroyed them , as we did vnto Sihon King of Heshbon , vtterly destroying the men , women , and children of euery citie . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.281) 7 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.282) But all the cattell , and the spoyle of the cities , we tooke for a pray to our selues . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.283) 8 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.284) And we tooke at that time out of the hand of the two Kings of the Amorites , the land that was on this side Iordan , from the riuer of Arnon , vnto mount Hermon : 9 Which Hermon the Sidonians call Syrion : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.285) and the Amorites call it Shenir . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.286) (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.287) All the cities of the plaine , and all Gilead , and all Bashan , vnto Salchah , and Edrei , cities of the kingdome of Og in Bashan . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.288) 11 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.289) For onely Og King of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants ; (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.290) behold , his bedsted was a bedsted of yron : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.291) is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon ? (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.292) Nine cubites was the length thereof , and foure cubites the breadth of it , after the cubite of a man . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.293) 12 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.294) And this land which we possessed at that time , from Aroer which is by the riuer Arnon , and halfe mount Gilead , and the cities thereof , gaue I vnto the Reubenites , and to the Gadites . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.295) 13 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.296) And the rest of Gilead , and all Bashan , being the kingdome of Og , gave I vnto the halfe tribe of Manasseh : All the region of Argob with all Bashan , which was called the land of Giants . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.297) 14 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.298) Iair the son of Manasseh tooke all the countrey of Argob , unto the coastes of Geshuri , and Maachathi ; (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.299) and called them after his owne name , Bashan Hauoth Iair , vnto this day . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.300) 15 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.301) And I gaue Gilead vnto Machir . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.302) 16 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.303) And vnto the Reubenites , and vnto the Gadites , I gaue from Gilead , euen vnto the riuer Arnon , halfe the valley , and the border , euen vnto the riuer Iabbok , which is the border of the children of Ammon : 17 The plaine also , and Iordan , and the coast thereof , from Chinnereth , euen unto the sea of the plaine , euen the salt sea , vnder Ashdoth-Pisgah Eastward . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.304) 18 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.305) And I commanded you at that time , saying , The Lord your God hath giuen you this land to possesse it : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.306) ye shall passe ouer armed before your brethren the children of Israel , all that are meet for the warre . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.307) 19 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,1D.308) But your wiues , and your little ones , and your cattell for I know that ye haue much cattel shall abide in your cities , which I haue giuen you : Vntill the Lord haue giuen rest vnto your brethren , as well as vnto you , and vntill they also possesse the land which the Lord your God hath giuen them beyond Iordan : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.309) and then shall ye returne every man vnto his possession , which I haue giuen you . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.310) 21 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.311) And I commanded Ioshua at that time , saying , Thine eyes haue seene all that the Lord your God hath done vnto these two Kings : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.312) so shal the Lord doe vnto all the kingdomes whither thou passest . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.313) 22 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.314) Ye shall not feare them : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.315) for the Lord your God , he shal fight for you . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.316) 23 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.317) And I besought the Lord at that time , saying , 24 O Lord God , thou hast begun to shew thy seruant thy greatnesse , and thy mighty hand : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.318) for what God is there in heauen , or in earth , that can do according to thy workes , and according to thy might ? (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.319) 25 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.320) I pray thee let me goe ouer , and see the good land that is beyond Iordan , that goodly mountaine and Lebanon . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.321) 26 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.322) But the Lord was wroth with me for your sakes , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.323) and would not heare mee : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.324) and the Lord said vnto me , Let it suffice thee , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.325) speake no more vnto me of this matter . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.326) 27 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.327) Get thee vp into the top of Pisgah , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.328) and lift vp thine eyes Westward , and Northward , and Southward , and Eastward , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.329) and beholde it with thine eyes : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.330) for thou shalt not goe ouer this Iordan . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.331) 28 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.332) But charge Ioshua , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.333) and encourage him , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.334) and strengthen him : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.335) for hee shall goe ouer before this people , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.336) and he shall cause them to inherite the land which thou shalt see . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.337) 29 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.338) So we abode in the valley , ouer against Beth-Peor . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,III,20D.339) CHAP. IIII . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.342) {COM:introduction_omitted} 1 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.345) Nowe therefore hearken , O Israel , vnto the Statutes , and vnto the Iudgments which I teach you , for to do them , that ye may liue , and goe in and possess the lande , which the Lord God of your fathers giueth you . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.346) 2 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.347) Ye shall not adde vnto the word which I command you , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.348) neither shall you diminish ought from it , that ye may keepe the Commaundements of the Lord your God , which I command you . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.349) 3 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.350) Your eyes have seene what the Lord did because of Baal Peor : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.351) for all the men that followed Baal Peor , the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.352) 4 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.353) But yee that did cleave vnto the Lord your God , are aliue euery one of you this day . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.354) 5 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.355) Behold , I haue taught you Statutes , and Iudgements , euen as the Lord my God commanded me , that ye should do so , in the land whither ye goe to possesse it . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.356) 6 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.357) Keepe therefore , and doe them ; (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.358) for this is your wisedome and your vnderstanding in the sight of the nations , which shall heare all these statutes , and say , Surely this great nation is a wise and vnderstanding people . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.359) 7 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.360) For what nation is there so great , who hath God so nigh unto them , as the Lord our God is in all things , that we call vpon him for ? (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.361) 8 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.362) And what nation is there so great , that hath Statutes and Iudgements so righteous , as all this Law which I set before you this day ? (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.363) 9 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.364) Onely take heed to thy selfe , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.365) and keepe thy soule diligently , lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seene , and lest they depart from thy heart all the dayes of thy life : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.366) but teach them thy sonnes , & thy sonnes sonnes : Specially , the day that thou stoodst before the Lord thy God in Horeb , when the Lord said vnto mee , Gather me the people together , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.367) and I will make them heare my wordes , that they may learne to feare mee all the dayes that they shall liue vpon the earth , and that they may teach their children . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.368) 11 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.369) And ye came neere (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.370) and stood under the mountaine , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.371) and the mountaine burnt with fire unto the midst of heauen , with darkenes , cloudes , and thick darkenesse . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.372) 12 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.373) And the Lord spake vnto you out of the midst of the fire : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.374) ye heard the voyce of the words , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.375) but saw no similitude , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.376) onely-1 ye heard a voyce . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.377) 13 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.378) And he declared unto you his couenant , which he commanded you to performe , even ten co~mandements , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.379) and he wrote them vpon two tables of stone . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.380) 14 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.381) And the Lord commanded me at that time , to teach you Statutes , and Iudgements , that ye might doe them in the land whither ye goe ouer to possesse it . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.382) 15 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.383) Take ye therfore good heed vnto your selues , for ye saw no maner of similitude on the day that the Lord spake vnto you in Horeb , out of the midst of the fire 16 Lest yee corrupt your selves , and make you a graven image , the similitude of any figure , the likenes of male , or female , 17 The likenesse of any beast that is on the earth , the likenes of any winged foule that flieth in the aire , 18 The likenesse of any thing that creepeth on the ground , the likenesse of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth 19 And lest thou lift vp thine eyes unto heauen , and when thou seest the sun , and the moone , and the starres , euen all the hoste of heauen , shouldest be driuen to worship them , and serue them , which the Lord thy God hath diuided vnto all nations vnder the whole heauen . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,1D.384) (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.386) But the Lord hath taken you , and brought you foorth out of the yron fornace , euen out of Egypt , to bee vnto him a people of inheritance , as ye are this day . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.387) 21 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.388) Furthermore , the Lord was angry with mee for your sakes , and aware that I should not goe ouer Iordan , and that I should not goe in vnto that good land which the Lord thy God giueth thee for an inheritance . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.389) 22 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.390) But I must die in this lande , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.391) I must not goe ouer Iordan : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.392) but ye shall goe ouer and possesse that good land . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.393) 23 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.394) Take heed vnto your selues , lest ye forget the couenant of the Lord your God , which hee made with you , and make you a grauen image , or the likenes of any thing which the Lord thy God hath forbidden thee . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.395) 24 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.396) For the Lord thy God is consuming fire , euen a iealous God . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.397) 25 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.398) When thou shalt beget children , and childrens children , and shalt haue remained long in the land , and shal corrupt your selues , & make a grauen image , or the likenes of any thing , and shall doe euil in the sight of the Lord thy God , to prouoke him to anger : 26 I call heauen and earth to witnesse against you this day , that ye shall soone vtterly perish from off the land whereunto you goe over Iordan , to possesse it : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.399) yee shall not prolong your dayes vpon it , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.400) but shall vtterly bee destroyed . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.401) 27 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.402) And the Lord shall scatter you among the nations , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.403) and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen , whither the Lord shall lead you . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.404) 28 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.405) And there ye shall serue gods , the worke of mens hands , wood and stone , which neither see , nor heare , nor eate , nor smell . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.406) 29 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.407) But if from thence thou shalt seke the Lord thy God , thou shalt finde him , if thou seeke him with all thy heart , and with all thy soule . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.408) (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.409) When thou art in tribulation , and all these things are come vpon thee , euen in the latter dayes , if thou turne to the Lord thy God , and shalt be obedient vnto his voice : 31 For the Lord thy God is a mercifull God he will not forsake thee , neither destroy thee , nor forget the couenant of thy fathers , which he sware vnto them . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.410) 32 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.411) For aske now of the dayes that are past , which were before thee , since the day that God created man vpon earth , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.412) and aske from the one side of heauen unto the other , Whether there hath bene any such thing as this great thing is , or hath bene heard like it ? (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.413) 33 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.414) Did euer people heare the voyce of God speaking out of the midst of the fire , as thou hast heard , and live ? (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.415) 34 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.416) Or hath God assayed to goe and take him a nation from the midst of another nation , by temptations , by signes , and by wonders , and by warre , and by a mighty hand , and by a stretched out arme , and by great terrors , according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes ? (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.417) 35 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.418) Vnto thee it was shewed , that thou mightest know , that the Lord hee is God ; (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.419) there is none else besides him . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.420) 36 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.421) Out of heauen hee made thee to heare his voice , that he might instruct thee : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.422) and vpon earth hee shewed thee his great fire , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.423) and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.424) 37 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.425) And because he loued thy fathers , therefore he chose their seed after them , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.426) and brought thee out in his sight with his mightie power out of Egypt : 38 To driue out nations from before thee , greater and mightier then thou art , to bring thee in , to giue thee their land for an inheritance , as it is this day . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.427) 39 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.428) Know therefore this day , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.429) & consider it in thine heart , that the Lord hee is God in heauen aboue , and upon the earth beneath : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.430) there is none else . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,20D.431) (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,40D.433) Thou shalt keepe therefore his Statutes , and his Commandements , which I command thee this day ; that it may goe well with thee , and with thy children after thee , and that thou mayest prolong thy dayes vpon the earth , which the Lord thy God giueth thee , for euer . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,40D.434) 41 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,40D.435) Then Moses seuered three cities on this side Iordan , toward the Sunne rising : 42 That the slayer might flee thither , which should kill his neighbour vnawares , and hated him not in times past , and that fleeing vnto one of these cities he might liue : 43 Namely , Bezer in the wilderness , in the plaine countrey of the Reubenites ; and Ramoth in Gilead of the Gadites ; and Golan in Bashan , of the Manassites . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,40D.436) 44 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,40D.437) And this is the Law which Moses set before the children of Israel : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,40D.438) 45 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,40D.439) These are the Testimonies , and the Statutes , and the Iudgements , which Moses spake vnto the children of Israel , after they came foorth out of Egypt ; 46 On this side Iordan in 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 smote , after they were come foorth out of Egypt . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,40D.440) 47 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,40D.441) And they possessed his land , and the land of Og king of Bashan , two kings of the Amorites , which were on this side Iordan toward the sun rising , 48 From Aroer , which is by the banke of the riuer Arnon , euen vnto mount Sion , which is Hermon , 49 And all the plaine of this side Iordan Eastward , euen vnto the sea , of the plaine vnder the springs of Pisgah . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IV,40D.442) CHAP. V . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.445) {COM:introduction_omitted} 1 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.448) And Moses called all Israel , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.449) and sayd vnto them , Heare , O Israel , the Statutes and Iudgements which I speake to your eares this day , that ye may learne them , and keepe and doe them . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.450) 2 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.451) The Lord our God made a Couenant with vs in Horeb . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.452) 3 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.453) The Lord made not-1 this couenant with our fathers , but with vs : euen vs , who are all of vs here aliue this day . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.454) 4 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.455) The Lord talked with you , face to face , in the mount , out of the midst of the fire , 5 I stood betweene 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 vp into the mount , saying , 6 I am the Lord thy God , which brought thee out of the lande of Egypt , from the house of bondage . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.456) 7 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.457) Thou shalt haue none other gods before me . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.458) 8 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.459) Thou shalt not make thee any grauen image , or any likenesse of any thing that is in heauen aboue , or that is in the earth beneath , or that is in the waters beneath the earth . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.460) 9 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.461) Thou shalt not bow downe thy selfe vnto them , nor serue them : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.462) for I the Lord thy God am a ielous God , visiting the iniquity of the fathers vpon the children , vnto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me , And shewing mercy vnto thousands , of them that loue me , and keepe my commandements . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.463) 11 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.464) Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vaine : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.465) for the Lord will not holde him guiltless that taketh his name in vaine . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.466) 12 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.467) Keepe the Sabbath day to sanctifie it , as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.468) 13 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.469) Sixe dayes thou shalt labour , and doe all thy worke . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.470) 14 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.471) But the seuenth day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,V,1D.472) in it thou shalt not doe any worke , thou , nor thy sonne , nor thy daughter , nor thy man seruant , nor thy maid seruant , nor thine oxe , nor thine asse , nor any of thy cattel , nor thy stranger that is within thy gates , that thy man seruant and thy maid seruant may rest as well as thou .

(AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.710) 5 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.711) Not for thy righteousnesse , or for the vprightnesse of thine heart , doest thou goe to possesse their land : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.712) But for the wickednesse of these nations the Lord thy God doeth driue them out from before thee , and that he may performe the word which the Lord sware vnto thy fathers , Abraham , Isaac and Iacob . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.713) 6 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.714) Vnderstand therefore , that the Lord thy God giueth thee not this good land to possesse it , for thy righteousnesse ; (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.715) for thou art a stiffe-necked people . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.716) 7 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.717) Remember and forget not , how thou prouokedst the Lord thy God to wrath in the wildernesse : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.718) from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt , vntill ye came unto this place , yee haue bene rebellious against the Lord . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.719) 8 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.720) Also in Horeb yee prouoked the Lord to wrath , so that the Lord was angry with you , to haue destroyed you . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.721) 9 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.722) When I was gone vp into the mount , to receiue the Tables of stone , euen the Tables of the Couenant which the Lord made with you , then I abode in the mount fortie dayes , and fortie nights , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.723) I neither did eate bread , nor drinke water : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.724) (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.725) And the Lord deliuered vnto me two Tables of stone , written with the finger of God , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.726) and on them was written according to all the words which the Lord spake with you in the mount , out of the midst of fire , in the day of the assembly . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.727) 11 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.728) And it came to passe at the end of fortie dayes , and fortie nights , that the Lord gaue mee the two Tables of stone , euen the Tables of the Couenant . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.729) 12 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.730) And the Lord said vnto mee , Arise , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.731) get thee downe quickly from hence ; (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.732) for thy people which thou hast brought foorth out of Egypt , haue corrupted themselues : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.733) they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them ; (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.734) they haue made them a molten image . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.735) 13 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.736) Furthermore , the Lord spake vnto me , saying , I haue seene this people , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.737) and behold , it is a stifnecked people . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.738) 14 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.739) Let me alone , that I may destroy them , and blot out their name from vnder heauen : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.740) and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater then they . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.741) 15 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.742) So I turned (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.743) and came downe from the mount , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.744) and the mount burned with fire : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.745) and the two Tables of the Couenant were in my two hands . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.746) 16 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.747) And I looked , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.748) and behold , ye had sinned against the Lord your God , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.749) and haue made you a molten calfe : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.750) ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the Lord had commanded you . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.751) 17 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.752) And I tooke the two Tables , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.753) and cast them out of my two hands , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.754) and brake them before your eyes . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.755) 18 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.756) And I fell downe before the Lord , as at the first , fortie dayes and fortie nights , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.757) I did neither eate bread nor drinke water , because of all your sinnes which ye sinned , in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord , to prouoke him to anger . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.758) 19 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.759) For I was afraid of the anger , and whot {COM:hot} displeasure wherewith the Lord was wroth against you , to destroy you . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.760) But the Lord hearkned vnto me at that time also . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,1D.761) (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.763) And the Lord was very angry with Aaron , to haue destroyed him : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.764) And I prayed for Aaron also the same time . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.765) 21 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.766) And I tooke your sinne , the calfe which ye had made , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.767) and burnt it with fire , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.768) and stamped it , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.769) and ground it very small , euen vntill it was as small as dust : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.770) and I cast the dust thereof into the brooke that descended out of the mount . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.771) 22 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.772) And at Taberah , and at Massah , and at Kibroth-Hattaauah , ye prouoked the Lord to wrath . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.773) 23 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.774) Likewise when the Lord sent you from Kadesh Barnes , saying , Goe vp and possesse the land which I haue giuen you , then you rebelled against the commandement of the Lord your God , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.775) and ye beleeued him not , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.776) nor hearkened to his voyce . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.777) 24 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.778) You haue bin rebellious against the Lord , from the day that I knew you . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.779) 25 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.780) Thus I fell downe before the Lord fourtie dayes , and fourtie nights , as I fel downe at the first , because the Lord had said , he would destroy you . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.781) 26 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.782) I prayed therefore vnto the Lord , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.783) and said , O Lord God , destroy not thy people , and thine inheritance , which thou hast redeemed through thy greatnes , which thou hast brought foorth out of Egypt , with a mightie hand . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.784) 27 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.785) Remember thy seruants , Abraham , Isaac , and Iacob , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.786) looke not vnto the stubburnnesse of this people , nor to their wickednes , nor to their sinne : 28 Lest the land whence thou broughtest vs out , say , Because the Lord was not able to bring them in to the land which hee promised them and because hee hated them , hee hath brought them out , to slay them in the wildernesse . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.787) 29 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.788) Yet they are thy people , and thine inheritance which thou broughtest on by thy mightie power , and by thy stretched out arme . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,IX,20D.789) CHAP. X . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.792) {COM:introduction_omitted} 1 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.795) At that time the Lord said vnto me , Hew thee two Tables of stone , like vnto the first , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.796) and come vp vnto mee into the mount , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.797) and make thee an Arke of wood . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.798) 2 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.799) And I will write on the Tables the words that were in the first Tables which thou brakest , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.800) and thou shalt put them in the Arke . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.801) 3 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.802) And I made an Arke of Shittim wood , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.803) and hewed two Tables of stone like vnto the first , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.804) and went vp into the mount , hauing the two Tables in mine hand . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.805) 4 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.806) And he wrote on the Tables , according to the first writing , the tenne Commandements , which the Lord spake vnto you in the mount , out of the midst of the fire , in the day of the assembly : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.807) and the Lord gaue them vnto me . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.808) 5 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.809) And I turned my selfe (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.810) and came downe from the mount , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.811) and put the Tables in the Arke which I had made , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.812) and there they be , as the Lord commanded me . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.813) 6 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.814) And the children of Israel tooke their iourney from Beeroth , of the children of Iaakan , to Mosera ; (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.815) there Aaron died , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.816) and there he was buried , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.817) and Eleazar his sonne ministred in the Priests office in his stead . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.818) 7 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.819) From thence they iourneyed vnto Gudgodah , and from Gudgodah to Iotbath , a land of riuers of waters . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.820) 8 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.821) At that time the Lord separated the tribe of Leui , to beare the Arke of the Couenant of the Lord , to stand before the Lord , to minister vnto him , and to blesse in his Name , vnto this day . 9 Wherefore Leui hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.822) the Lord is his inheritance , according as the Lord thy God promised him . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.823) (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.824) And I stayed in the mount , according to the first time , fortie dayes , and fortie nights : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.825) and the Lord hearkened unto mee at that time also , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.826) and the Lord would not destroy thee . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.827) 11 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.828) And the Lord said vnto me , Arise , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.829) take thy iourney before the people , that they may goe in , and possesse the land which I sware vnto their fathers to giue vnto them . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.830) 12 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.831) And now Israel , what doeth the Lord thy God require of thee , but to feare the Lord thy God , to walke in all his waies , and to loue him , and to serue the Lord thy God , with all thy heart , and with all thy soule , 13 To keepe the Commandements of the Lord , and his Statutes , which I commaund thee this day for thy good ? (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.832) 14 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.833) Behold , the heauen , & the heauen of heauens is the Lords thy God , the earth also , with all that therein is . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.834) 15 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.835) Onely the Lord had a delight in thy Fathers , to loue them , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.836) and hee chose their seed after them , euen you , aboue all people , as it is this day . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.837) 16 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.838) Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.839) and bee no more stiffenecked . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.840) 17 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.841) For the Lord your God is God of gods , and Lord of lords , a great God , a mighty , and a terrible , which regardeth not persons , nor taketh reward . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.842) 18 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.843) He doeth execute the iudgement of the fatherlesse , and widow , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.844) and loueth the stranger , in giuing him food and raiment . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.845) 19 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.846) Loue yee therefore the stranger : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.847) for yee were strangers in the land of Egypt . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,1D.848) (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,20D.850) Thou shalt feare the Lord thy God ; (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,20D.851) him shalt thou serue , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,20D.852) and to him shalt thou cleaue , and sweare by his Name . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,20D.853) 21 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,20D.854) He is thy praise , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,20D.855) and he is thy God that hath done for thee these great and terrible things , which thine eyes haue seene . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,20D.856) 22 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,20D.857) Thy fathers went downe into Egypt with threescore and ten persons : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,20D.858) and now the Lord thy God hath made thee as the starres of heauen , for multitude . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,X,20D.859) CHAP. XI . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.862) {COM:introduction_omitted} 1 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.865) Therefore thou shalt loue the Lord thy God , and keepe his charge , and his Statutes , and his Iudgements , and his Commandements alway . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.866) 2 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.867) And know you this day : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.868) for I speake not with your children which haue not knowen , and which haue not seene the chastisement of the Lord your God , his greatnesse , his mighty hand , and his stretched out arme , 3 And his miracles , and his actes , which he did in the midst of Egypt , vnto Pharaoh the King of Egypt , and vnto all his land , 4 And what hee did vnto the army of Egypt , vnto their horses , and to their charets , how he made the water of the Red sea to ouerflow them as they pursued after you , and how the Lord hath destroyed them vnto this day , 5 And what hee did vnto you in the wildernesse , vntill yee came into this place , 6 And what he did vnto Dathan , and Abiram , the sonnes of Eliab the sonne of Reuben : how the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them vp , and their housholds , and their tents , and all the substance that $was {TEXT:twas} in their possession in the middest of all Israel . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.869) 7 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.870) But your eyes haue seene all the great acts of the Lord , which he did . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.871) 8 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.872) Therefore shall yee keepe all the Commandements which I command you this day , that ye may be strong and goe in , and possesse the land whither ye goe to possesse it : 9 And that yee may prolong your dayes in the lande which the Lord sware vnto your fathers to giue vnto them , and to their seed , a land that floweth with milke and hony . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.873) (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.874) For the land whither thou goest in to possesse it , is not as the lande of Egypt from whence ye came out , where thou sowedst thy seed , and wateredst it with thy foot , as a garden of herbes : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.875) 11 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.876) But the lande whither ye goe to possess it , is a lande of hilles and valleys , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.877) and drinketh water of the raine of heauen : 12 A lande , which the Lord thy God careth for : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.878) the eyes of the Lord thy God are alwayes vpon it , from the beginning of the yeere , euen vnto the end of the yeere . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.879) 13 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.880) And it shall come to passe , if you shall hearken diligently vnto my Commandements which I command you this day , to loue the Lord your God , and to serue him with all your heart , and with all your soule ; 14 That I will giue you the raine of your land in his due season , the first raine and the latter raine , that thou mayest gather in thy corne , and thy wine , and thine oyle . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.881) 15 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.882) And I will send grasse in thy fields for thy cattell , that thou mayest eate and be full . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.883) 16 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.884) Take heede to your selues , that your heart be not deceiued , and ye turne aside , and serue other gods , and worship them : 17 And then the Lords wrath be kindled against you , and hee shut vp the heauen , that there be no raine , and that the land yeeld not her fruit , and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord giueth you . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.885) 18 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.886) Therefore shall ye lay vp these my words in your heart , and in your soule , and bind them for a signe vpon your hand , that they may bee as frontlets betweene your eyes . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.887) 19 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.888) And ye shal teach them your children , speaking of them , when thou sittest in thine house , and when thou walkest by the way , when thou liest downe and when thou risest vp . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,1D.889) (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.891) And thou shalt write them vpon the doore posts of thine house , and vpon thy gates : 21 That your dayes may bee multiplied , and the dayes of your children , in the land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers to giue them , as the daye of heauen vpon the earth . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.892) 22 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.893) For if ye shall diligently keepe all these Commaundements which I command you , to doe them , to loue the Lord your God , to walke in all his wayes , and to cleaue vnto him : 23 Then will the Lord driue out all these nations from before you , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.894) and ye shall possesse greater nations , and mightier then your selues . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.895) 24 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.896) Euery place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread , shall be yours : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.897) from the wildernesse , and Lebanon , from the riuer , the riuer Euphrates , euen vnto the vttermost sea , shall your coast be . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.898) 25 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.899) There shall no man bee able to stand before you : (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.900) for the Lord your God shall lay the feare of you , and the dread of you vpon all the land that yee shall tread vpon , as hee hath said vnto you . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.901) 26 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.902) Behold , I set before you this day , a blessing and a curse : 27 A blessing , if ye obey the Commandements of the Lord your God which I command you this day : 28 And a curse , if ye will not obey the Commandements of the Lord your God , but turne aside out of the way , which I command you this day , to goe after other gods which yee haue not knowen . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.903) 29 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.904) And it shall come to passe when the Lord thy God hath brought thee in , vnto the land whither thou goest to possesse it , that thou shalt put the blessing vpon mount Gerizim , and the curse vpon mount Ebal . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.905) (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.906) Are they not on the other side Iordan , by the way where the Sunne goeth downe , in the land of the Canaanites , which dwell in the champion ouer against Gilgal , beside the plaines of Moreh ? (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.907) 31 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.908) For ye shall passe ouer Iordan , to goe in to possesse the land which the Lord your God giueth you , (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.909) and ye shall possesse it , and dwell therein . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.910) 32 (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.911) And yee shall obserue to doe all the Statutes , and Iudgements , which I set before you this day . (AUTHOLD-E2-P2,XI,20D.912)
