,,the ,,book ,,of ,,deuteronomy    ,this
 ,book is called ,,deuteronomy1 which   
signifies a ,,second ,,law1 because  it 
repeats and inculcates the ordinances   
formerly given on mount ,sinai1  with   
other precepts not expressed before4    

,the ,hebrews1 from the first  words in 
the book1 call it ,,elle ,,haddebarim4  
,deuteronomy ,chapter #a    ,a          
repetition of what passed at ,sinai and 
,cadesbarne3 and of the people's        
murmuring and their punishment4    #a3a4
 ,these are the words1 which ,moses     
spoke to all ,israel beyond the         
,jordan1 in the plain wilderness1 over  
against the ,red ,sea1 beetween  ,pharan
 and ,thophel and ,laban and ,haseroth1 
where there is very much  gold4    #a3b4
 ,eleven days' journey from ,horeb by   
the way of mount ,seir to  ,cadesbarne4 
#a3c4 ,in the fortieth year1 the        
eleventh month1 the first day of the    
month1 ,moses spoke to the children of  
,israel all that the ,lord had          
commanded him to say to them3    #a3d4  
,after that he had slain ,sehon king of 
the ,amorrhites1 who dwelt in  ,hesebon3
 and ,og king of ,basan who abode in    
,astaroth1 and in ,edrai1    #a3e4      
,beyond the ,jordan in the land of      
,moab4 ,and ,moses began to expound  the

 law1 and to say3    #a3f4 ,the ,lord   
our ,god spoke to us in ,horeb1 saying3 
,you have stayed long  enough in this   
mountain3    #a3g4 ,turn you1 and come  
to the mountain of the ,amorrhites1 and 
to the  other places that are next to   
it1 the plains and the hills and the    
vales  towards the south1 and by the sea
 shore1 the land of the ,chanaanites1   
and of ,libanus1 as far as the great    
river ,euphrates4    #a3h4 ,behold1 said
 he1 ,i have delivered it to you3 go in 
and possess it1  concerning which the   
,lord swore to your fathers ,abraham1   
,isaac1 and  ,jacob1 that he would give 
it to them1 and to their seed after     
them4    #a3i4 ,and ,i said to you at   
that time3    #a3aj4 ,i alone am not    
able to bear you3 for the ,lord your    
,god hath  multiplied you1 and you are  
this day as the stars of heaven1 for    
multitude4    #a3aa4 7,the ,lord ,god of
 your fathers add to this number many   
thousands1  and bless you as he hath    
spoken47    #a3ab4 ,i alone am not able 

to bear your business1 and the charge of
 you  and your differences4    #a3ac4   
,let me have from among you wise and    
understanding men1 and such  whose      
conversation is approved among your     
tribes1 that ,i may appoint  them your  
rulers4    #a3ad4 ,then you answered me3
 ,the thing is good which thou meanest  
to do4    #a3ae4 ,and ,i took out of    
your tribes men wise and honourable1 and
  appointed them rulers1 tribunes1 and  
centurions1 and officers over  fifties1 
and over tens1 who might teach you all  
things4    #a3af4 ,and ,i commanded     
them1 saying3 ,hear them1 and judge that
 which is  just3 whether he be one of   
your country1 or a stranger4    #a3ag4  
,there shall be no difference of        
persons1 you shall hear the little  as  
well as the great3 neither shall you    
respect any man's person1  because it is
 the judgment of ,god4 ,and if any thing
 seem hard to you1  refer it to me1 and 
,i will hear it4    #a3ah4 ,and ,i      
commanded you all things that you were  

to do4    #a3ai4 ,and departing from    
,horeb1 we passed through the terrible  
and vast  wilderness1 which you saw1 by 
the way of the mountain of the          
,amorrhite1  as the ,lord our ,god had  
commanded us4 ,and when we were come    
into  ,cadesbarne1    #a3bj4 ,i said to 
you3 ,you are come to the mountain of   
the ,amorrhite1  which the ,lord our    
,god will give to us4    #a3ba4 ,see the
 land which the ,lord thy ,god giveth   
thee3 go up and possess  it1 as the     
,lord our ,god hath spoken to thy       
fathers3 fear not1 nor be any  way      
discouraged4    #a3bb4 ,and you came all
 to me1 and said3 ,let us send men who  
may view the  land1 and bring us word   
what way we shall go up1 and to what    
cities we  shall go4    #a3bc4 ,and     
because the saying pleased me1 ,i sent  
of you twelve men1 one  of every tribe3 
#a3bd4 ,who1 when they had set forward  
and had gone up to the mountains1  came 
as far as the valley of the cluster3 and
 having viewed the land1    #a3be4      

,taking of the fruits thereof1 to shew  
its fertility1 they brought  them to us1
 and said3 ,the land is good1 which the 
,lord our ,god will give  us4    #a3bf4 
,and you would not go up1 but being     
incredulous to the word of the  ,lord   
our ,god1    #a3bg4 ,you murmured in    
your tents1 and said3 ,the ,lord hateth 
us1 and  therefore he hath brought us   
out of the land of ,egypt1 that he might
  deliver us into the hand of the       
,amorrhite1 and destroy us4    #a3bh4   
,whither shall we go up8 the messengers 
have terrified our hearts1  saying3 ,the
 multitude is very great1 and taller    
than we3 the cities are  great1 and     
walled up to the sky1 we have seen the  
sons of the ,enacims  there4    ,walled 
up to the sky444 ,a figurative          
expression1 signifying the walls to  be 
very high4    #a3bi4 ,and ,i said to    
you3 ,fear not1 neither be ye afraid of 
them3    #a3cj4 ,the ,lord ,god1 who is 
your leader1 himself will fight for you1
 as  he did in ,egypt in the sight of   

all4    #a3ca4 ,and in the wilderness   
7as thou hast seen7 the ,lord thy ,god  
hath  carried thee1 as a man is wont to 
carry his little son1 all the way that  
you have come1 until you came to this   
place4    #a3cb4 ,and yet for all this  
you did not believe the ,lord your ,god1
    #a3cc4 ,who went before you in the  
way1 and marked out the place1 wherein  
you should pitch your tents1 in the     
night shewing you the way by fire1  and 
in the day by the pillar of a cloud4    
#a3cd4 ,and when the ,lord had heard the
 voice of your words1 he was angry  and 
swore1 and said3    #a3ce4 ,not one of  
the men of this wicked generation shall 
see the good  land1 which ,i promised   
with an oath to your fathers3    #a3cf4 
,except ,caleb the son of ,jephone3 for 
he shall see it1 and to him ,i  will    
give the land that he hath trodden upon1
 and to his children1  because he hath  
followed the ,lord4    #a3cg4 ,neither  
is his indignation against the people to
 be wondered at1  since the ,lord was   

angry with me also on your account1 and 
said3 ,neither  shalt thou go in        
thither4    #a3ch4 ,but ,josue the son  
of ,nun1 thy minister1 he shall go in   
for thee3  exhort and encourage him1 and
 he shall divide the land by lot to     
,israel4    #a3ci4 ,your children1 of   
whom you said that they should be led   
away  captives1 and your sons who know  
not this day the difference of good and 
evil1 they shall go in3 and to them ,i  
will give the land1 and they shall      
possess it4    #a3dj4 ,but return you   
and go into the wilderness by the way of
 the ,red  ,sea4    #a3da4 ,and you     
answered me3 ,we have sinned against the
 ,lord3 we will go  up and fight1 as the
 ,lord our ,god hath commanded4 ,and    
when you went  ready armed unto the     
mountain1    #a3db4 ,the ,lord said to  
me3 ,say to them3 ,go not up1 and fight 
not1 for ,i  am not with you3 lest you  
fall before your enemies4    #a3dc4 ,i  
spoke1 and you hearkened not3 but       
resisting the commandment of  the ,lord1

 and swelling with pride1 you went up   
into the mountain4    #a3dd4 ,and the   
,amorrhite that dwelt in the mountains  
coming out1 and  meeting you1 chased    
you1 as bees do3 and made slaughter of  
you from ,seir  as far as ,horma4       
#a3de4 ,and when you returned and wept  
before the ,lord1 he heard you not1     
neither would he yield to your voice4   
#a3df4 ,so you abode in ,cadesbarne a   
long time4    ,deuteronomy ,chapter #b  
,they are forbid to fight against the   
,edomites1 ,moabites1 and ,ammonites4   
,their victory over ,sehon king of      
,hesebon4    #b3a4 ,and departing from  
thence we came into the wilderness that 
leadeth  to the ,red ,sea1 as the ,lord 
had spoken to me3 and we compassed mount
  ,seir a long time4    #b3b4 ,and the  
,lord said to me3    #b3c4 ,you have    
compassed this mountain long enough3 go 
toward the north3    #b3d4 ,and command 
thou the people1 saying3 ,you shall pass
 by the borders  of your brethren the   
children of ,esau1 who dwell in ,seir1  

and they will  be afraid of you4        
#b3e4 ,take ye then good heed that you  
stir not against them4 ,for ,i will  not
 give you of their land so much as the  
step of one foot can tread  upon1       
because ,i have given mount ,seir to    
,esau1 for a possession4    #b3f4 ,you  
shall buy meats of them for money and   
shall eat3 you shall draw  waters for   
money1 and shall drink4    #b3g4 ,the   
,lord thy ,god hath blessed thee in     
every work of thy hands3 the  ,lord thy 
,god dwelling with thee1 knoweth thy    
journey1 how thou hast  passed through  
this great wilderness1 for forty years1 
and thou hast  wanted nothing4    #b3h4 
,and when we had passed by our brethren 
the children of ,esau1 that  dwelt in   
,seir1 by the way of the plain from     
,elath and from ,asiongaber1  we came to
 the way that leadeth to the desert of  
,moab4    #b3i4 ,and the ,lord said to  
me3 ,fight not against the ,moabites1   
neither go  to battle against them3 for 
,i will not give thee any of their land1

  because ,i have given ,ar to the      
children of ,lot in possession4         
#b3aj4 ,the ,emims first were the       
inhabitants thereof1 a people great1 and
  strong1 and so tall1 that like the    
race of the ,enacims1    #b3aa4 ,they   
were esteemed as giants1 and were like  
the sons of the  ,enacims4 ,but the     
,moabites call them ,emims4    #b3ab4   
,the ,horrhites also formerly dwelt in  
,seir3 who being driven out  and        
destroyed1 the children of ,esau dwelt  
there1 as ,israel did in the  land of   
his possession1 which the ,lord gave    
him4    #b3ac4 ,then rising up to pass  
the torrent ,zared1 we came to it4      
#b3ad4 ,and the time that we journeyed  
from ,cadesbarne till we passed over    
the torrent ,zared1 was thirty-eight    
years3 until all the generation of  the 
men that were fit for war was consumed  
out of the camp1 as the ,lord  had      
sworn3    #b3ae4 ,for his hand was      
against them1 that they should perish   
from the  midst of the camp4    #b3af4  

,and after all the fighting men were    
dead1    #b3ag4 ,the ,lord spoke to me1 
saying3    #b3ah4 ,thou shalt pass this 
day the borders of ,moab1 the city named
 ,ar3    #b3ai4 ,and when thou comest   
nigh the frontiers of the children of   
,ammon1  take heed thou fight not       
against them1 nor once move to battle3  
for ,i  will not give thee of the land  
of the children of ,ammon1 because ,i   
have  given it to the children of ,lot  
for a possession4    #b3bj4 ,it was     
accounted a land of giants3 and giants  
formerly dwelt in  it1 whom the         
,ammonites call ,zomzommims1    #b3ba4  
,a people great and many1 and of tall   
stature1 like the ,enacims  whom the    
,lord destroyed before their face3 and  
he made them to dwell in  their stead1  
#b3bb4 ,as he had done in favour of the 
children of ,esau1 that dwell in  ,seir1
 destroying the ,horrhites1 and         
delivering their land to them1 which    
they possess to this day4    #b3bc4 ,the
 ,hevites also1 that dwelt in ,haserim  

as far as ,gaza1 were  expelled by the  
,cappadocians3 who came out of          
,cappadocia1 and destroyed  them and    
dwelt in their stead4    #b3bd4 ,arise  
ye1 and pass the torrent ,arnon3 ,behold
 ,i have delivered into  thy hand ,sehon
 king of ,hesebon the ,amorrhite1 and   
begin thou to possess  his land and make
 war against him4    #b3be4 ,this day   
will ,i begin to send the dread and fear
 of thee upon the  nations that dwell   
under the whole heaven3 that when they  
hear thy name  they may fear and        
tremble1 and be in pain like women in   
travail4    #b3bf4 ,so ,i sent          
messengers from the wilderness of       
,cademoth to ,sehon the  king of        
,hesebon with peaceable words1 saying3  
#b3bg4 ,we will pass through thy land1  
we will go along by the highway3 we     
will not turn aside neither to the right
 hand nor to the left4    #b3bh4 ,sell  
us meat for money1 that we may eat3 give
 us water for money  and so we will     
drink4 ,we only ask that thou wilt let  

us pass through1    #b3bi4 ,as the      
children of ,esau have done1 that dwell 
in ,seir1 and the  ,moabites1 that abide
 in ,ar3 until we come to the ,jordan1  
and pass to the  land which the ,lord   
our ,god will give us4    #b3cj4 ,and   
,sehon the king of ,hesebon would not   
let us pass3 because the  ,lord thy ,god
 had hardened his spirit1 and fixed his 
heart1 that he might  be delivered into 
thy hands1 as now thou seest4           
,hardened1 etc444 ,that is1 in          
punishment of his past sins he left him 
to  his own stubborn and perverse       
disposition1 which drew him to his ruin4
  ,see the note on ,ex4 #g4c4    #b3ca4 
,and the ,lord said to me3 ,behold ,i   
have begun to deliver unto thee  ,sehon 
and his land1 begin to possess it4      
#b3cb4 ,and ,sehon came out to meet us  
with all his people to fight at  ,jasa4 
#b3cc4 ,and the ,lord our ,god delivered
 him to us3 and we slew him with his    
sons and all his people4    #b3cd4 ,and 
we took all his cities at that time1    

killing the inhabitants  of them1 men   
and women and children4 ,we left nothing
 of them3    #b3ce4 ,except the cattle  
which came to the share of them that    
took them3  and the spoils of the       
cities1 which we took3    #b3cf4 ,from  
,aroer1 which is upon the bank of the   
torrent ,arnon1 a town  that is situate 
in a valley1 as far as ,galaad4 ,there  
was not a village  or city1 that escaped
 our hands3 the ,lord our ,god delivered
 all unto us3    #b3cg4 ,except the land
 of the children of ,ammon1 to which we 
approached  not3 and all that border    
upon the torrent ,jeboc1 and the cities 
in the  mountains1 and all the places   
which the ,lord our ,god forbade us4    
,deuteronomy ,chapter #c    ,the victory
 over ,og king of ,basan4 ,ruben1 ,gad1 
and half the tribe of  ,manasses receive
 their possession on the other side of  
,jordan4    #c3a4 ,then we turned and   
went by the way of ,basan3 and ,og the  
king of  ,basan came out to meet us with
 his people to fight in ,edrai4    #c3b4

 ,and the ,lord said to me3 ,fear him   
not3 because he is delivered into  thy  
hand1 with all his people and his land3 
and thou shalt do to him as  thou hast  
done to ,sehon king of the ,amorrhites1 
that dwelt in ,hesebon4    #c3c4 ,so the
 ,lord our ,god delivered into our      
hands1 ,og also1 the king of  ,basan1   
and all his people3 and we utterly      
destroyed them1    #c3d4 ,wasting all   
his cities at one time1 there was not a 
town that  escaped us3 sixty cities1 all
 the country of ,argob the kingdom of   
,og in  ,basan4    #c3e4 ,all the cities
 were fenced with very high walls1 and  
with gates and  bars1 besides           
innumerable towns that had no walls4    
#c3f4 ,and we utterly destroyed them1 as
 we had done to ,sehon the king of      
,hesebon1 destroying every city1 men and
 women and children3    #c3g4 ,but the  
cattle and the spoils of the cities we  
took for our prey4    #c3h4 ,and we took
 at that time the land out of the hand  
of the two kings  of the ,amorrhites1   

that were beyond the ,jordan3 from the  
torrent ,arnon  unto the mount ,hermon1 
#c3i4 ,which the ,sidonians call        
,sarion1 and the ,amorrhites ,sanir3    
#c3aj4 ,all the cities that are situate 
in the plain1 and all the land of       
,galaad and ,basan as far as ,selcha and
 ,edrai1 cities of the kingdom of ,og   
in ,basan4    #c3aa4 ,for only ,og king 
of ,basan remained of the race of the   
giants4 ,his  bed of iron is shewn1     
which is in ,rabbath of the children of 
,ammon1  being nine cubits long1 and    
four broad after the measure of the     
cubit of  a man's hand4    #c3ab4 ,and  
we possessed the land at that time from 
,aroer1 which is upon  the bank of the  
torrent ,arnon1 unto the half of mount  
,galaad3 and ,i gave  the cities thereof
 to ,ruben and ,gad4    #c3ac4 ,and ,i  
delivered the other part of ,galaad1 and
 all ,basan the  kingdom of ,og to the  
half tribe of ,manasses1 all the country
 of ,argob3  and all ,basan is called   
the ,land of giants4    #c3ad4 ,jair the

 son of ,manasses possessed all the     
country of ,argob unto  the borders of  
,gessuri1 and ,machati4 ,and he called  
,basan by his own  name1 ,havoth ,jair1 
that is to say1 the towns of ,jair1     
until this present  day4    #c3ae4 ,to  
,machir also ,i gave ,galaad4    #c3af4 
,and to the tribes of ,ruben and ,gad ,i
 gave of the land of ,galaad as  far as 
the torrent ,arnon1 half the torrent1   
and the confines even unto  the torrent 
,jeboc1 which is the border of the      
children of ,ammon3    #c3ag4 ,and the  
plain of the wilderness1 and the        
,jordan1 and the borders  of ,cenereth  
unto the sea of the desert1 which is the
 most salt sea1 to  the foot of mount   
,phasga eastward4    #c3ah4 ,and ,i     
commanded you at that time1 saying3 ,the
 ,lord your ,god giveth  you this land  
for an inheritance1 go ye well appointed
 before your  brethren the children of  
,israel1 all the strong men of you4     
#c3ai4 ,leaving your wives and children 
and cattle4 ,for ,i know you have  much 

cattle1 and they must remain in the     
cities1 which ,i have delivered  to you4
    #c3bj4 ,until the ,lord give rest to
 your brethren1 as he hath given to     
you3 and they also possess the land1    
which he will give them beyond the      
,jordan3 then shall every man return to 
his possession1 which ,i have  given    
you4    #c3ba4 ,i commanded ,josue also 
at that time1 saying3 ,thy eyes have    
seen  what the ,lord your ,god hath done
 to these two kings3 so will he do to   
all the kingdoms to which thou shalt    
pass4    #c3bb4 ,fear them not3 for the 
,lord your ,god will fight for you4     
#c3bc4 ,and ,i besought the ,lord at    
that time1 saying3    #c3bd4 ,lord ,god1
 thou hast begun to shew unto thy       
servant thy greatness1  and most mighty 
hand1 for there is no other ,god either 
in heaven or  earth1 that is able to do 
thy works1 or to be compared to thy     
strength4    #c3be4 ,i will pass over   
therefore1 and will see this excellent  
land  beyond the ,jordan1 and this      

goodly mountain1 and ,libanus4    #c3bf4
 ,and the ,lord was angry with me on    
your account and heard me not1  but said
 to me3 ,it is enough3 speak no more to 
me of this matter4    #c3bg4 ,go up to  
the top of ,phasga1 and cast thy eyes   
round about to the  west1 and to the    
north1 and to the south1 and to the     
east1 and behold  it1 for thou shalt not
 pass this ,jordan4    #c3bh4 ,command  
,josue1 and encourage and strengthen    
him3 for he shall go  before this       
people1 and shall divide unto them the  
land which thou shalt  see4    #c3bi4   
,and we abode in the valley over against
 the temple of ,phogor4    ,deuteronomy 
,chapter #d    ,moses exhorteth the     
people to keep ,god's commandments3     
particularly to  fly idolatry4          
,appointeth three cities of refuge1 on  
that side of the  ,jordan4    #d3a4 ,and
 now1 ,o ,israel1 hear the commandments 
and judgments which ,i  teach thee3 that
 doing them1 thou mayst live1 and       
entering in mayst  possess the land     

which the ,lord the ,god of your fathers
 will give you4    #d3b4 ,you shall not 
add to the word that ,i speak to you1   
neither shall  you take away from it3   
keep the commandments of the ,lord your 
,god which  ,i command you4    #d3c4    
,your eyes have seen all that the ,lord 
hath done against ,beelphegor1  how he  
hath destroyed all his worshippers from 
among you4    #d3d4 ,but you that adhere
 to the ,lord your ,god1 are all alive  
until this  present day4    #d3e4 ,you  
know that ,i have taught you statutes   
and justices1 as the ,lord  my ,god hath
 commanded me3 so shall you do them in  
the land which you  shall possess3      
#d3f4 ,and you shall observe1 and fulfil
 them in practice4 ,for this is  your   
wisdom1 and understanding in the sight  
of nations1 that hearing all  these     
precepts1 they may say3 ,behold a wise  
and understanding people1 a  great      
nation4    #d3g4 ,neither is there any  
other nation so great1 that hath gods so
 nigh  them1 as our ,god is present to  

all our petitions4    #d3h4 ,for what   
other nation is there so renowned that  
hath ceremonies1  and just judgments1   
and all the law1 which ,i will set forth
 this day  before our eyes8    #d3i4    
,keep thyself therefore1 and thy soul   
carefully4 ,forget not the  words that  
thy eyes have seen1 and let them not go 
out of thy heart all  the days of thy   
life4 ,thou shalt teach them to thy sons
 and to thy  grandsons1    #d3aj4 ,from 
the day in which thou didst stand before
 the ,lord thy ,god in  ,horeb1 when the
 ,lord spoke to me1 saying3 ,call       
together the people unto  me1 that they 
may hear my words1 and may learn to fear
 me all the time  that they live on the 
earth1 and may teach their children4    
#d3aa4 ,and you came to the foot of the 
mount1 which burned even unto  heaven3  
and there was darkness1 and a cloud and 
obscurity in it4    #d3ab4 ,and the     
,lord spoke to you from the midst of the
 fire4 ,you heard  the voice of his     
words1 but you saw not any form at all4 

#d3ac4 ,and he shewed you his covenant1 
which he commanded you to do1 and  the  
ten words that he wrote in two tables of
 stone4    #d3ad4 ,and he commanded me  
at that time that ,i should teach you   
the  ceremonies and judgments which you 
shall do in the land1 that you shall    
possess4    #d3ae4 ,keep therefore your 
souls carefully4 ,you saw not any       
similitude in  the day that the ,lord   
,god spoke to you in ,horeb from the    
midst of the  fire3    #d3af4 ,lest     
perhaps being deceived you might make   
you a graven  similitude1 or image of   
male or female1    #d3ag4 ,the          
similitude of any beasts1 that are upon 
the earth1 or of  birds1 that fly under 
heaven1    #d3ah4 ,or of creeping       
things1 that move on the earth1 or of   
fishes1 that  abide in the waters under 
the earth3    #d3ai4 ,lest perhaps      
lifting up thy eyes to heaven1 thou see 
the sun and  the moon1 and all the stars
 of heaven1 and being deceived by error 
thou  adore and serve them1 which the   

,lord thy ,god created for the service  
of  all the nations1 that are under     
heaven4    #d3bj4 ,but the ,lord hath   
taken you and brought you out of the    
iron  furnaces of ,egypt1 to make you   
his people of inheritance1 as it is this
  present day4    #d3ba4 ,and the ,lord 
was angry with me for your words1 and he
 swore that ,i  should not pass over the
 ,jordan1 nor enter into the excellent  
land1  which he will give you4    #d3bb4
 ,behold ,i die in this land1 ,i shall  
not pass over the ,jordan3 you  shall   
pass1 and possess the goodly land4      
#d3bc4 ,beware lest thou ever forget the
 covenant of the ,lord thy ,god1  which 
he hath made with thee3 and make to     
thyself a graven likeness of  those     
things which the ,lord hath forbid to be
 made3    #d3bd4 ,because the ,lord thy 
,god is a consuming fire1 a jealous     
,god4    #d3be4 ,if you shall beget sons
 and grandsons1 and abide in the land1  
and  being deceived1 make to yourselves 
any similitude1 committing evil  before 

the ,lord your ,god1 to provoke him to  
wrath3    #d3bf4 ,i call this day heaven
 and earth to witness1 that you shall   
quickly perish out of the land1 which1  
when you have passed over the  ,jordan1 
you shall possess4 ,you shall not dwell 
therein long1 but the  ,lord will       
destroy you1    #d3bg4 ,and scatter you 
among all nations1 and you shall remain 
a few  among the nations1 to which the  
,lord shall lead you4    #d3bh4 ,and    
there you shall serve gods1 that were   
framed with men's hands3  wood and      
stone1 that neither see1 nor hear1 nor  
eat1 nor smell4    #d3bi4 ,and when thou
 shalt seek there the ,lord thy ,god1   
thou shalt find  him3 yet so1 if thou   
seek him with all thy heart1 and all the
 affliction  of thy soul4    #d3cj4     
,after all the things aforesaid shall   
find thee1 in the latter time  thou     
shalt return to the ,lord thy ,god1 and 
shalt hear his voice4    #d3ca4 ,because
 the ,lord thy ,god is a merciful ,god3 
he will not leave  thee1 nor altogether 

destroy thee1 nor forget the covenant1  
by which he  swore to thy fathers4      
#d3cb4 ,ask of the days of old1 that    
have been before thy time from the  day 
that ,god created man upon the earth1   
from one end of heaven to the  other end
 thereof1 if ever there was done the    
like thing1 or it hath  been known at   
any time1    #d3cc4 ,that a people      
should hear the voice of ,god speaking  
out of the  midst of fire1 as thou hast 
heard1 and lived3    #d3cd4 ,if ,god    
ever did so as to go1 and take to       
himself a nation out of  the midst of   
nations by temptations1 signs1 and      
wonders1 by fight1 and a  strong hand1  
and stretched out arm1 and horrible     
visions according to  all the things    
that the ,lord your ,god did for you in 
,egypt1 before thy  eyes4    #d3ce4     
,that thou mightest know that the ,lord 
he is ,god1 and there is no  other      
besides him4    #d3cf4 ,from heaven he  
made thee to hear his voice1 that he    
might teach  thee4  ,and upon earth he  

shewed thee his exceeding great fire1   
and thou  didst hear his words out of   
the midst of the fire1    #d3cg4        
,because he loved thy fathers1 and chose
 their seed after them4 ,and  he brought
 thee out of ,egypt1 going before thee  
with his great power1    #d3ch4 ,to     
destroy at thy coming very great        
nations1 and stronger than  thou art1   
and to bring thee in1 and give thee     
their land for a  possession1 as thou   
seest at this present day4    #d3ci4    
,know therefore this day1 and think in  
thy heart that the ,lord he  is ,god in 
heaven above1 and in the earth beneath1 
and there is no other4    #d3dj4 ,keep  
his precepts and commandments1 which ,i 
command thee3 that it  may be well with 
thee1 and thy children after thee1 and  
thou mayst  remain a long time upon the 
land1 which the ,lord thy ,god will give
 thee4    #d3da4 ,then ,moses set aside 
three cities beyond the ,jordan at the  
east  side1    #d3db4 ,that any one     
might flee to them who should kill his  

neighbour  unwillingly1 and was not his 
enemy a day or two before1 and that he  
might escape to some one of these       
cities3    #d3dc4 ,bosor in the         
wilderness1 which is situate in the     
plains of the  tribe of ,ruben3 and     
,ramoth in ,galaad1 which is in the     
tribe of ,gad3 and  ,golan in ,basan1   
which is in the tribe of ,manasses4     
#d3dd4 ,this is the law1 that ,moses set
 before the children of ,israel1        
#d3de4 ,and these are the testimonies   
and ceremonies and judgments1 which  he 
spoke to the children of ,israel1 when  
they came out of ,egypt1    #d3df4      
,beyond the ,jordan in the valley over  
against the temple of ,phogor1  in the  
land of ,sehon king of the ,amorrhites1 
that dwelt in ,hesebon1 whom  ,moses    
slew4 ,and the children of ,israel      
coming out of ,egypt1    #d3dg4         
,possessed his land1 and the land of ,og
 king of ,basan1 of the two  kings of   
the ,amorrhites1 who were beyond the    
,jordan towards the rising  of the sun3 

#d3dh4 ,from ,aroer1 which is situate   
upon the bank of the torrent ,arnon1    
unto mount ,sion1 which is also called  
,hermon1    #d3di4 ,all the plain beyond
 the ,jordan at the east side1 unto the 
sea of  the wilderness1 and unto the    
foot of mount ,phasga4    ,deuteronomy  
,chapter #e    ,the ten commandments are
 repeated and explained4    #e3a4 ,and  
,moses called all ,israel1 and said to  
them3 ,hear1 ,o ,israel1 the  ceremonies
 and judgments1 which ,i speak in your  
ears this day3 learn  them1 and fulfil  
them in work4    #e3b4 ,the ,lord our   
,god made a covenant with us in ,horeb4 
#e3c4 ,he made not the covenant with our
 fathers1 but with us1 who are now      
present and living4    #e3d4 ,he spoke  
to us face to face in the mount out of  
the midst of fire4    #e3e4 ,i was the  
mediator and stood between the ,lord and
 you at that time1  to shew you his     
words1 for you feared the fire1 and went
 not up into the  mountain1 and he said3
    #e3f4 ,i am the ,lord thy ,god1 who 

brought thee out of the land of ,egypt1 
out of the house of bondage4    #e3g4   
,thou shalt not have strange gods in my 
sight4    #e3h4 ,thou shalt not make to 
thy self a graven thing1 nor the        
likeness of  any things1 that are in    
heaven above1 or that are in the earth  
beneath1  or that abide in the waters   
under the earth4    #e3i4 ,thou shalt   
not adore them1 and thou shalt not serve
 them4 ,for ,i am  the ,lord thy ,god1 a
 jealous ,god1 visiting the iniquity of 
the fathers  upon their children unto   
the third and fourth generation1 to them
 that  hate me1    #e3aj4 ,and shewing  
mercy unto many thousands1 to them that 
love me1 and  keep my commandments4     
#e3aa4 ,thou shalt not take the name of 
the ,lord thy ,god in vain3 for he      
shall not be unpunished that taketh his 
name upon a vain thing4    #e3ab4       
,observe the day of the sabbath1 to     
sanctify it1 as the ,lord thy  ,god hath
 commanded thee4    #e3ac4 ,six days    
shalt thou labour1 and shalt do all thy 

works4    #e3ad4 ,the seventh is the day
 of the sabbath1 that is1 the rest of   
the  ,lord thy ,god4 ,thou shalt not do 
any work therein1 thou nor thy son nor  
thy daughter1 nor thy manservant nor thy
 maidservant1 nor thy ox1 nor  thy ass1 
nor any of thy beasts1 nor the stranger 
that is within thy  gates3 that thy     
manservant and thy maidservant may rest1
 even as  thyself4    #e3ae4 ,remember  
that thou also didst serve in ,egypt1   
and the ,lord thy ,god  brought thee out
 from thence with a strong hand1 and a  
stretched out  arm4 ,therefore hath he  
commanded thee that thou shouldst       
observe the  sabbath day4    #e3af4     
,honour thy father and mother1 as the   
,lord thy ,god hath commanded  thee1    
that thou mayst live a long time1 and it
 may be well with thee in  the land1    
which the ,lord thy ,god will give thee4
    #e3ag4 ,thou shalt not kill4        
#e3ah4 ,neither shalt thou commit       
adultery4    #e3ai4 ,and thou shalt not 
steal4    #e3bj4 ,neither shalt thou    

bear false witness against thy          
neighbour4    #e3ba4 ,thou shalt not    
covet thy neighbour's wife3 nor his     
house1 nor his  field1 nor his          
manservant1 nor his maidservant1 nor his
 ox1 nor his ass1  nor any thing that is
 his4    #e3bb4 ,these words the ,lord  
spoke to all the multitude of you in the
  mountain1 out of the midst of the fire
 and the cloud1 and the darkness1  with 
a loud voice1 adding nothing more3 and  
he wrote them in two tables  of stone1  
which he delivered unto me4    #e3bc4   
,but you1 after you heard the voice out 
of the midst of the  darkness1 and saw  
the mountain burn1 came to me1 all the  
princes of the  tribes and the elders1  
and you said3    #e3bd4 ,behold the     
,lord our ,god hath shewn us his majesty
 and his  greatness1 we have heard his  
voice out of the midst of the fire1 and 
have proved this day that ,god speaking 
with man1 man hath lived4    #e3be4 ,why
 shall we die therefore1 and why shall  
this exceeding great  fire comsume us3  

for if we hear the voice of the ,lord   
our ,god any more1  we shall die4       
#e3bf4 ,what is all flesh1 that it      
should hear the voice of the living     
,god1 who speaketh out of the midst of  
the fire1 as we have heard1 and be  able
 to live8    #e3bg4 ,approach thou      
rather3 and hear all things that the    
,lord our ,god  shall say to thee1 and  
thou shalt speak to us1 and we will hear
 and will  do them4    #e3bh4 ,and when 
the ,lord had heard this1 he said to me3
 ,i have heard the  voice of the words  
of this people1 which they spoke to     
thee3 they have  spoken all things well4
    #e3bi4 ,who shall give them to have 
such a mind1 to fear me1 and to keep    
all my commandments at all times1 that  
it may be well with them and with  their
 children for ever8    #e3cj4 ,go and   
say to them3 ,return into your tents4   
#e3ca4 ,but stand thou here with me1 and
 ,i will speak to thee all my           
commandments1 and ceremonies and        
judgments3 which thou shalt teach them1 

that they may do them in the land1 which
 ,i will give them for a  possession4   
#e3cb4 ,keep therefore and do the things
 which the ,lord ,god hath commanded    
you3 you shall not go aside neither to  
the right hand1 nor to the left4        
#e3cc4 ,but you shall walk in the way   
that the ,lord your ,god hath           
commanded1 that you may live1 and it may
 be well with you1 and your days  may be
 long in the land of your possession4   
,deuteronomy ,chapter #f    ,an         
exhortation to the love of ,god1 and    
obedience to his law4    #f3a4 ,these   
are the precepts1 and ceremonies1 and   
judgments1 which the  ,lord your ,god   
commanded that ,i should teach you1 and 
that you should do  them in the land

#f3b4 ,that thou mayst fear the ,lord   
thy ,god1 and keep all his  commandments

and thy sons1 and thy  grandsons1 all   
the days of thy life1 that thy days may 
be prolonged4    #f3c4 ,hear1 ,o        

,israel1 and observe to do the things   
which the ,lord hath  commanded thee1   
that it may be well with thee1 and thou 
mayst be greatly  multiplied1 as the    
,lord the ,god of thy fathers hath      
promised thee a land  flowing with milk 
and honey4    #f3d4 ,hear1 ,o ,israel1  
the ,lord our ,god is one ,lord4        
#f3e4 ,thou shalt love the ,lord thy    
,god with thy whole heart1 and with thy 
whole soul1 and with thy whole strength4
    #f3f4 ,and these words which ,i     
command thee this day1 shall be in thy  
heart3    #f3g4 ,and thou shalt tell    
them to thy children1 and thou shalt    
meditate  upon them sitting in thy      
house1 and walking on thy journey1      
sleeping and  rising4    #f3h4 ,and thou
 shalt bind them as a sign on thy hand1 
and they shall be  and shall move       
between thy eyes4    #f3i4 ,and thou    
shalt write them in the entry1 and on   
the doors of thy  house4    #f3aj4 ,and 
when the ,lord thy ,god shall have      
brought thee into the land1  for which  

he swore to thy fathers ,abraham1       
,isaac1 and ,jacob3 and shall  have     
given thee great and goodly cities1     
which thou didst not build1    #f3aa4   
,houses full of riches1 which thou didst
 not set up1 cisterns which  thou didst 
not dig1 vineyards and oliveyards1 which
 thou didst not  plant1    #f3ab4 ,and  
thou shalt have eaten and be full3      
#f3ac4 ,take heed deligently lest thou  
forget the ,lord1 who brought thee  out 
of the land of ,egypt1 out of the house 
of bondage4 ,thou shalt fear  the ,lord 
thy ,god1 and shalt serve him only1 and 
thou shalt swear by his  name4    #f3ad4
 ,you shall not go after the strange    
gods of all the nations1 that  are round
 about you3    #f3ae4 ,because the ,lord
 thy ,god is a jealous ,god in the midst
 of thee3  lest at any time the wrath of
 the ,lord thy ,god be kindled against  
thee1  and take thee away from the face 
of the earth4    #f3af4 ,thou shalt not 
tempt the ,lord thy ,god1 as thou       
temptedst him in  the place of          

temptation4    #f3ag4 ,keep the precepts
 of the ,lord thy ,god1 and the         
testimonies and  ceremonies which he    
hath commanded thee4    #f3ah4 ,and do  
that which is pleasing and good in the  
sight of the ,lord1  that it may be well
 with thee3 and going in thou mayst     
possess the  goodly land1 concerning    
which the ,lord swore to thy fathers1   
#f3ai4 ,that he would destroy all thy   
enemies before thee1 as he hath  spoken4
    #f3bj4 ,and when thy son shall ask  
thee to morrow1 saying3 ,what mean these
  testimonies1 and ceremonies and       
judgments1 which the ,lord our ,god hath
  commanded us8    #f3ba4 ,thou shalt   
say to him3 ,we were bondmen of ,pharao 
in ,egypt1 and the  ,lord brought us out
 of ,egypt with a strong hand4    #f3bb4
 ,and he wrought signs and wonders great
 and very grievous in ,egypt  against   
,pharao1 and all his house1 in our      
sight1    #f3bc4 ,and he brought us out 
from thence1 that he might bring us in  
and  give us the land1 concerning which 

he swore to our fathers4    #f3bd4 ,and 
the ,lord commanded that we should do   
all these ordinances1 and  should fear  
the ,lord our ,god1 that it might be    
well with us all the days  of our life1 
as it is at this day4    #f3be4 ,and he 
will be merciful to us1 if we keep and  
do all his precepts  before the ,lord   
our ,god1 as he hath commanded us4      
,deuteronomy ,chapter #g    ,no league  
nor fellowship to be made with the      
,chanaanites3 ,god promiseth  his people
 his blessing and assistance1 if they   
keep his comandments4    #g3a4 ,when the
 ,lord thy ,god shall have brought thee 
into the land1 which  thou art going in 
to possess1 and shall have destroyed    
many nations  before thee1 the ,hethite1
 and the ,gergezite1 and the ,amorrhite1

,pherezite1 and the ,hevite1 and the    
,jebusite1 seven  nations much more     
numerous than thou art1 and stronger    
than thou3    #g3b4 ,and the ,lord thy  
,god shall have delivered them to thee1 

thou shalt  utterly destroy them4 ,thou 
shalt make no league with them1 nor shew
  mercy to them3    #g3c4 ,neither shalt
 thou make marriages with them4 ,thou   
shalt not give  thy daughter to his son1
 nor take his daughter for thy son3     
#g3d4 ,for she will turn away thy son   
from following me1 that he may  rather  
serve strange gods1 and the wrath of the
 ,lord will be kindled1  and will       
quickly destroy thee4    #g3e4 ,but thus
 rather shall you deal with them3       
,destroy their altars1 and  break their 
statues1 and cut down their groves1 and 
burn their graven  things4    #g3f4     
,because thou art a holy people to the  
,lord thy ,god4 ,the ,lord thy  ,god    
hath chosen thee1 to be his peculiar    
people of all peoples that are  upon the
 earth4    #g3g4 ,not because you       
surpass all nations in number1 is the   
,lord joined  unto you1 and hath chosen 
you1 for you are the fewest of any      
people3    #g3h4 ,but because the ,lord 
hath loved you1 and hath kept his oath1 

which  he swore to your fathers3 and    
hath brought you out with a strong hand1
  and redeemed you from the house of    
bondage1 out of the hand of ,pharao  the
 king of ,egypt4    #g3i4 ,and thou     
shalt know that the ,lord thy ,god1 he  
is a strong and  faithful ,god1 keeping 
his covenant and mercy to them that love
 him1 and  to them that keep his        
commandments1 unto a thousand           
generations3    #g3aj4 ,and repaying    
forthwith them that hate him1 so as to  
destroy them1  without further delay

deserve4    #g3aa4 ,keep therefore the  
precepts and ceremonies and judgments1  
which ,i  command thee this day to do4  
#g3ab4 ,if after thou hast heard these  
judgments1 thou keep and do them1  the  
,lord thy ,god will also keep his       
covenant to thee1 and the mercy  which  
he swore to thy fathers3    #g3ac4 ,and 
he will love thee and multiply thee1 and
 will bless the fruit  of thy womb1 and 
the fruit of thy land1 thy corn1 and thy

 vintage1 thy  oil1 and thy herds1 and  
the flocks of thy sheep upon the land1

either sex1 neither of men nor cattle4

thee all sickness3 and the grievous     
infirmities of ,egypt1 which thou       
knowest1 he will not bring upon thee1

shalt thou serve  their gods1 lest they 
be thy ruin4    #g3ag4 ,if thou say in  
thy heart3 ,these nations are more than 
,i1 how shall  ,i be able to destroy    
them8    #g3ah4 ,fear not1 but remember 
what the ,lord thy ,god did to ,pharao  
and to  all the ,egyptians1    #g3ai4   
,the exceeding great plagues1 which thy 
eyes saw1 and the signs and  wonders1   
and the strong hand1 and the stretched  

out arm1 with which the  ,lord thy ,god 
brought thee out3 so will he do to all  
the people1 whom  thou fearest4         
#g3bj4 ,moreover the ,lord thy ,god will
 send also hornets among them1 until  he
 destroy and consume all that have      
escaped thee1 and could hide            
themselves4    #g3ba4 ,thou shalt not   
fear them1 because the ,lord thy ,god is
 in the midst  of thee1 a ,god mighty   
and terrible3    #g3bb4 ,he will consume
 these nations in thy sight by little   
and little  and by degrees4 ,thou wilt  
not be able to destroy them altogether3 
lest  perhaps the beasts of the earth   
should increase upon thee4    #g3bc4    
,but the ,lord thy ,god shall deliver   
them in thy sight3 and shall  slay them 
until they be utterly destroyed4        
#g3bd4 ,and he shall deliver their kings
 into thy hands1 and thou shalt  destroy
 their names from under ,heaven3 no man 
shall be able to resist  thee1 until    
thou destroy them4    #g3be4 ,their     
graven things thou shalt burn with fire3

 thou shalt not  covet the silver and   
gold of which they are made1 neither    
shalt thou  take to thee any thing      
thereof1 lest thou offend1 because it is
 an  abomination to the ,lord thy ,god4 
,graven things444 ,idols1 so called by  
contempt4    #g3bf4 ,neither shalt thou 
bring any thing of the idol into thy    
house1  lest thou become an anathema1   
like it4 ,thou shalt detest it as dung1 
and  shalt utterly abhor it as          
uncleanness and filth1 because it is an 
anathema4    ,deuteronomy ,chapter #h   
,the people is put in mind of ,god's    
dealings with them1 to the end that     
they may love him and serve him4        
#h3a4 ,all the commandments1 that ,i    
command thee this day1 take great care  
to observe3 that you may live1 and be   
multiplied1 and going in may  possess   
the land1 for which the ,lord swore to  
your fathers4    #h3b4 ,and thou shalt  
remember all the way through which the  
,lord thy ,god  hath brought thee for   
forty years through the desert1 to      

afflict thee  and to prove thee1 and    
that the things that were known in thy  
heart  might be made known1 whether thou
 wouldst keep his commandments or no4   
#h3c4 ,he afflicted thee with want1 and 
gave thee manna for thy food1  which    
neither thou nor thy fathers knew3 to   
shew that not in bread alone  doth man  
live1 but in every word that proceedeth 
from the mouth of ,god4    ,not in bread
 alone1 etc444 ,that is1 that ,god is   
able to make food of  what he pleases   
for the support of man4    #h3d4 ,thy   
raiment1 with which thou wast covered1  
hath not decayed for  age1 and thy foot 
is not worn1 lo this is the fortieth    
year1    #h3e4 ,that thou mayst consider
 in thy heart1 that as a man traineth up
  his son1 so the ,lord thy ,god hath   
trained thee up4    #h3f4 ,that thou    
shouldst keep the commandments of the   
,lord thy ,god1 and  walk in his ways1  
and fear him4    #h3g4 ,for the ,lord   
thy ,god will bring thee into a good    
land1 of brooks  and of waters1 and of  

fountains3 in the plains of which and   
the hills  deep rivers break out3       
#h3h4 ,a land of wheat1 and barley1 and 
vineyards1 wherein fig trees and        
pomegranates1 and oliveyards grow3 a    
land of oil and honey4    #h3i4 ,where  
without any want thou shalt eat thy     
bread1 and enjoy  abundance of all      
things3 where the stones are iron1 and  
out of its hills  are dug mines of      
brass3    #h3aj4 ,that when thou hast   
eaten1 and art full1 thou mayst bless   
the ,lord  thy ,god for the excellent   
land which he hath given thee4    #h3aa4
 ,take heed1 and beware lest at any time
 thou forget the ,lord thy  ,god1 and   
neglect his commandments and judgments  
and ceremonies1 which ,i  command thee  
this day3    #h3ab4 ,lest after thou    
hast eaten and art filled1 hast built   
goodly  houses1 and dwelt in them1      
#h3ac4 ,and shalt have herds of oxen and
 flocks of sheep1 and plenty of  gold   
and of silver1 and of all things1       
#h3ad4 ,thy heart be lifted up1 and thou

 remember not the ,lord thy ,god1  who  
brought thee out of the land of ,egypt1 
out of the house of bondage3    #h3ae4  
,and was thy leader in the great and    
terrible wilderness1 wherein  there was 
the serpent burning with his breath1 and
 the scorpion and the  dipsas1 and no   
waters at all3 who brought forth streams
 out of the  hardest rock1    ,the      
,dipsas444 ,a serpent whose bite causeth
 a violent thirst2 from whence  it has  
its name1 for in ,greek dipsa signifies 
thirst4    #h3af4 ,and fed thee in the  
wilderness with manna which thy fathers 
knew  not4 ,and after he had afflicted  
and proved thee1 at the last he had     
mercy on thee1    #h3ag4 ,lest thou     
shouldst say in thy heart3 ,my own      
might1 and the  strength of my own hand 
have achieved all these things for me4  
#h3ah4 ,but remember the ,lord thy ,god1
 that he hath given thee strength1  that
 he might fulfil his covenant1          
concerning which he swore to thy        
fathers1 as this present day sheweth4   

#h3ai4 ,but if thou forget the ,lord thy
 ,god1 and follow strange gods1 and     
serve and adore them3 behold now ,i     
foretell thee that thou shalt utterly   
perish4    #h3bj4 ,as the nations1 which
 the ,lord destroyed at thy entrance1 so
 shall  you also perish1 if you be      
disobedient to the voice of the ,lord   
your  ,god4    ,deuteronomy ,chapter #i 
,lest they should impute their victories
 to their own merits1 they are  put in  
mind of their manifold rebellions and   
other sins1 for which they  should have 
been destroyed1 but ,god spared them for
 his promise made to  ,abraham1 ,isaac1 
and ,jacob4    #i3a4 ,hear1 ,o ,israel3 
,thou shalt go over the ,jordan this    
day2 to possess  nations very great1 and
 stronger than thyself1 cities great1   
and walled  up to the sky1    #i3b4 ,a  
people great and tall1 the sons of the  
,enacims1 whom thou hast  seen1 and     
heard of1 against whom no man is able to
 stand4    #i3c4 ,thou shalt know       
therefore this day that the ,lord thy   

,god himself  will pass over before     
thee1 a devouring and consuming fire1 to
 destroy  and extirpate and bring them  
to nothing before thy face quickly1 as  
he  hath spoken to thee4    #i3d4 ,say  
not in thy heart1 when the ,lord thy    
,god shall have destroyed  them in thy  
sight3 ,for my justice hath the ,lord   
brought me in to possess  this land1    
whereas these nations are destroyed for 
their wickedness4    #i3e4 ,for it is   
not for thy justices1 and the           
uprightness of thy heart  that thou     
shalt go in to possess their lands3 but 
because they have done  wickedly1 they  
are destroyed at thy coming in3 and that
 the ,lord might  aaccomplish his word1 
which he promised by oath to thy fathers
 ,abraham1  ,isaac1 and ,jacob4    #i3f4
 ,know therefore that the ,lord thy ,god
 giveth thee not this excellent  land in
 possession for thy justices1 for thou  
art a very stiffnecked  people4    #i3g4
 ,remember1 and forget not how thou     
provokedst the ,lord thy ,god to  wrath 

in the wilderness4 ,from the day that   
thou camest out of ,egypt unto  this    
place1 thou hast always strove against  
the ,lord4    #i3h4 ,for in ,horeb1 also
 thou didst provoke him1 and he was     
angry1 and  would have destroyed thee1  
#i3i4 ,when ,i went up into the mount to
 receive the tables of stone1 the       
tables of the covenant which the ,lord  
made with you3 and ,i continued in  the 
mount forty days and nights1 neither    
eating bread1 nor drinking  water4      
#i3aj4 ,and the ,lord gave me two tables
 of stone written with the finger  of   
,god1 and containing all the words that 
he spoke to you in the mount  from the  
midst of the fire1 when the people were 
assembled together4    #i3aa4 ,and when 
forty days were passed1 and as many     
nights1 the ,lord gave  me the two      
tables of stone1 the tables of the      
covenant1    #i3ab4 ,and said to me3    
,arise1 and go down from hence quickly3 
for thy  people1 which thou hast brought
 out of ,egypt1 have quickly forsaken   

the  way that thou hast shewn them1 and 
have made to themselves a molten  idol4 
#i3ac4 ,and again the ,lord said to me3 
,i see that this people is  stiffnecked3
    #i3ad4 ,let me alone that ,i may    
destroy them1 and abolish their name    
from  under heaven1 and set thee over a 
nation1 that is greater and stronger    
than this4    #i3ae4 ,and when ,i came  
down from the burning mount1 and held   
the two  tables of the covenant with    
both hands1    #i3af4 ,and saw that you 
had sinned against the ,lord your ,god1 
and had  made to yourselves a molten    
calf1 and had quickly forsaken his way1 
which he had shewn you3    #i3ag4 ,i    
cast the tables out of my hands1 and    
broke them in your sight4    #i3ah4 ,and
 ,i fell down before the ,lord as       
before1 forty days and nights  neither  
eating bread1 nor drinking water1 for   
all your sins1 which you  had committed 
against the ,lord1 and had provoked him 
to wrath3    #i3ai4 ,for ,i feared his  
indignation and anger1 wherewith being  

moved  against you1 he would have       
destroyed you4 ,and the ,lord heard me  
this  time also4    #i3bj4 ,and he was  
exceeding angry against ,aaron also1 and
 would have  destroyed him1 and ,i      
prayed in like manner for him4    #i3ba4
 ,and your sin that you had committed1  
that is1 the calf1 ,i took1  and burned 
it with fire1 and breaking it into      
pieces1 until it was as  small as dust1 
,i threw it into the torrent1 which     
cometh down from the  mountain4         
#i3bb4 ,at the burning also1 and at the 
place of temptation1 and at the  graves 
of lust you provoked the ,lord3         
#i3bc4 ,and when he sent you from       
,cadesbarne1 saying3 ,go up1 and possess
  the land that ,i have given you1 and  
you slighted the commandment of the     
,lord your ,god1 and did not believe    
him1 neither would you hearken to his   
voice3    #i3bd4 ,but were always       
rebellious from the day that ,i began to
 know you4    #i3be4 ,and ,i lay        
prostrate before the ,lord forty days   

and nights1 in  which ,i humbly besought
 him1 that he would not destroy you as  
he had  threatened3    #i3bf4 ,and      
praying1 ,i said3 ,o ,lord ,god1 destroy
 not thy people1 and thy  inheritance1  
which thou hast redeemed in thy         
greatness1 whom thou hast  brought out  
of ,egypt with a strong hand4    #i3bg4 
,remember thy servants ,abraham1 ,isaac1
 and ,jacob3 look not on the            
stubbornness of this people1 nor on     
their wickedness and sin3    #i3bh4     
,lest perhaps the inhabitants of the    
land1 out of which thou hast  brought   
us1 say3 ,the ,lord could not bring them
 into the land that he  promised them1  
and he hated them3 therefore he brought 
them out1 that he  might kill them in   
the wilderness1    #i3bi4 ,who are thy  
people and thy inheritance1 whom thou   
hast brought out  by thy great strength1
 and in thy stretched out arm4          
,deuteronomy ,chapter #aj    ,god giveth
 the second tables of the law3 a further
 exhortation to fear  and serve the     

,lord4    #aj3a4 ,at that time the ,lord
 said to me3 ,hew thee two tables of    
stone  like the former1 and come up to  
me into the mount3 and thou shalt make  
an ark of wood1    #aj3b4 ,and ,i will  
write on the tables the words that were 
in them1 which  thou brokest before1 and
 thou shalt put them in the ark4        
#aj3c4 ,and ,i made an ark of setim     
wood4 ,and when ,i had hewn two tables  
of  stone like the former1 ,i went up   
into the mount1 having them in my       
hands4    #aj3d4 ,and he wrote in the   
tables1 according as he had written     
before1  the ten words1 which the ,lord 
spoke to you in the mount from the midst
  of the fire1 when the people were     
assembled3 and he gave them to me4      
#aj3e4 ,and returning from the mount1 ,i
 came down1 and put the tables into  the
 ark1 that ,i had made1 and they are    
there till this present1 as the  ,lord  
commanded me4    #aj3f4 ,and the        
children of ,israel removed their camp  
from ,beroth1 of the  children of ,jacan

 into ,mosera1 where ,aaron died and was
 buried1 and  ,eleazar his son succeeded
 him in the priestly office4            
,mosera444 ,by mount ,hor1 for there    
,aaron died1 ,num4 #bj4 ,this and the   
following verses seem to be inserted by 
way of parenthesis4    #aj3g4 ,from     
thence they came to ,gadgad1 from which 
place they departed1  and camped in     
,jetebatha1 in a land of waters and     
torrents4    #aj3h4 ,at that time he    
separated the tribe of ,levi1 to carry  
the ark of  the covenant of the ,lord1  
and to stand before him in the ministry1
 and  to bless in his name until this   
present day4    #aj3i4 ,wherefore ,levi 
hath no part nor possession with his    
brethren3  because the ,lord himself is 
his possession1 as the ,lord thy ,god   
promised  him4    #aj3aj4 ,and ,i stood 
in the mount1 as before1 forty days and 
nights3 and  the ,lord heard me this    
time also1 and would not destroy thee4  
#aj3aa4 ,and he said to me3 ,go1 and    
walk before the people1 that they may   

enter1 and possess the land1 which ,i   
swore to their fathers that ,i would    
give them4    #aj3ab4 ,and now1 ,israel1
 what doth the ,lord thy ,god require of
 thee1 but  that thou fear the ,lord thy
 ,god1 and walk in his ways1 and love   
him1 and  serve the ,lord thy ,god1 with
 all thy heart1 and with all thy soul3  
#aj3ac4 ,and keep the commandments of   
the ,lord1 and his ceremonies1 which  ,i
 command thee this day1 that it may be  
well with thee8    #aj3ad4 ,behold      
heaven is the ,lord's thy ,god1 and the 
heaven of heaven1  the earth and all    
things that are therein4    #aj3ae4 ,and
 yet the ,lord hath been closely joined 
to thy fathers1 and  loved them and     
chose their seed after them1 that is to 
say1 you1 out of  all nations1 as this  
day it is proved4    #aj3af4 ,circumcise
 therefore the foreskin of your heart1  
and stiffen your  neck no more4         
#aj3ag4 ,because the ,lord your ,god he 
is the ,god of gods1 and the ,lord of   
lords1 a great ,god and mighty and      

terrible1 who accepteth no person nor   
taketh bribes4    #aj3ah4 ,he doth      
judgment to the fatherless and the      
widow1 loveth the  stranger1 and giveth 
him food and raiment4    #aj3ai4 ,and do
 you therefore love strangers1 because  
you also were  strangers in the land of 
,egypt4    #aj3bj4 ,thou shalt fear the 
,lord thy ,god1 and serve him only3 to  
him thou  shalt adhere1 and shalt swear 
by his name4    #aj3ba4 ,he is thy      
praise1 and thy ,god1 that hath done for
 thee these  great and terrible things1 
which thy eyes have seen4    #aj3bb4 ,in
 seventy souls thy fathers went down    
into ,egypt3 and behold now  the ,lord  
thy ,god hath multiplied thee as the    
stars of heaven4    ,deuteronomy        
,chapter #aa    ,the love and service of
 ,god are still inculcated1 with a      
blessing to  them that serve him1 and   
threats of punishment if they forsake   
his law4    #aa3a4 ,therefore love the  
,lord thy ,god and observe his precepts 
and  ceremonies1 his judgments and      

commmandments at all times4    #aa3b4   
,know this day the things that your     
children know not1 who saw not  the     
chastisements of the ,lord your ,god1   
his great doings and strong  hand1 and  
stretched out arm1    #aa3c4 ,the signs 
and works which he did in the midst of  
,egypt to king  ,pharao1 and to all his 
land1    #aa3d4 ,and to all the host of 
the ,egyptians1 and to their horses and 
chariots3 how the waters of the ,red    
,sea covered them1 when they pursued    
you1 and how the ,lord destroyed them   
until this present day3    #aa3e4 ,and  
what he hath done to you in the         
wilderness1 til you came to  this place3
    #aa3f4 ,and to ,dathan and ,abiron  
the sons of ,eliab1 who was the son of  
,ruben3 whom the earth1 opening her     
mouth swallowed up with their           
households and tents1 and all their     
substance1 which they had in the  midst 
of ,israel4    #aa3g4 ,your eyes have   
seen all the great works of the ,lord1  
that he hath  done1    #aa3h4 ,that you 

may keep all his commandments1 which ,i 
command you this  day1 and may go in1   
and possess the land1 to which you are  
entering1    #aa3i4 ,and may live in it 
a long time3 which the ,lord promised by
 oath to  your fathers1 and to their    
seed1 a land which floweth with milk and
  honey4    #aa3aj4 ,for the land1 which
 thou goest to possess1 is not like the 
land  of ,egypt1 from whence thou camest
 out1 where1 when the seed is sown1     
waters are brought in to water it after 
the manner of gardens4    #aa3aa4 ,but  
it is a land of hills and plains1       
expecting rain from heaven4    #aa3ab4  
,and the ,lord thy ,god doth always     
visit it1 and his eyes are on it  from  
the beginning of the year unto the end  
thereof4    #aa3ac4 ,if then you obey my
 commandments1 which ,i command you this
 day1  that you love the ,lord your     
,god1 and serve him with all your heart1
 and  with all your soul3    #aa3ad4 ,he
 will give to your land the early rain  
and the latter rain1  that you may      

gather in your corn1 and your wine1 and 
your oil1    #aa3ae4 ,and your hay out  
of the fields to feed your cattle1 and  
that you  may eat and be filled4        
#aa3af4 ,beware lest perhaps your heart 
be deceived1 and you depart from  the   
,lord1 and serve strange gods1 and adore
 them3    #aa3ag4 ,and the ,lord being  
angry shut up heaven1 that the rain come
 not  down1 nor the earth yield her     
fruit1 and you perish quickly from the  
excellent land1 which the ,lord will    
give you4    #aa3ah4 ,lay up these words
 in your hearts and minds1 and hang them
 for a  sign on your hands1 and place   
them between your eyes4    #aa3ai4      
,teach your children that they meditate 
on them1 when thou sittest  in thy      
house1 and when thou walkest on the way1
 and when thou liest down  and risest   
up4    #aa3bj4 ,thou shalt write them   
upon the posts and the doors of thy     
house3    #aa3ba4 ,that thy days may be 
multiplied1 and the days of thy children
 in  the land which the ,lord swore to  

thy fathers1 that he would give them as 
long as the heaven hangeth over the     
earth4    #aa3bb4 ,for if you keep the  
commandments which ,i command you1 and  
do  them1 to love the ,lord your ,god1  
and walk in all his ways1 cleaving unto 
him1    #aa3bc4 ,the ,lord will destroy 
all these nations before your face1 and 
you  shall possess them1 which are      
greater and stronger than you4          
#aa3bd4 ,every place1 that your foot    
shall tread upon1 shall be yours4  ,from
 the desert1 and from ,libanus1 from the
 great river ,euphrates unto  the       
western sea shall be your borders4      
#aa3be4 ,none shall stand against you3  
the ,lord your ,god shall lay the  dread
 and fear of you upon all the land that 
you shall tread upon1 as he  hath spoken
 to you4    #aa3bf4 ,behold ,i set forth
 in your sight this day a blessing and a
 curse3    #aa3bg4 ,a blessing1 if you  
obey the commandments of the ,lord your 
,god1  which ,i command you this day3   
#aa3bh4 ,a curse1 if you obey not the   

commandments of the ,lord your ,god1    
but revolt from the way which now ,i    
shew you1 and walk after strange  gods  
which you know not4    #aa3bi4 ,and when
 the ,lord thy ,god shall have brought  
thee into the land1  whither thou goest 
to dwell1 thou shalt put the blessing   
upon mount  ,garizim1 the curse upon    
mount ,hebal3    ,put the blessing1     
et444 ,see ,deut4 #bg4ab1 etc4 and      
,josue #h4cc1 etc4    #aa3cj4 ,which are
 beyond the ,jordan1 behind the way that
 goeth to the  setting of the sun1 in   
the land of the ,chanaanite who dwelleth
 in the  plain country over against     
,galgala1 which is near the valley that 
reacheth and entereth far4    #aa3ca4   
,for you shall pass over the ,jordan1 to
 possess the land1 which  the ,lord your
 ,god will give you1 that you may have  
it and possess it4    #aa3cb4 ,see      
therefore that you fulfil the ceremonies
 and judgments1 which  ,i shall set this
 day before you4    ,deuteronomy        
,chapter #ab    ,all idolatry must be   

extirpated3 sacrifices1 tithes1 and     
firstfruits  must be offered in one only
 place3 all eating of blood is          
prohibited4    #ab3a4 ,these are the    
precepts and judgments1 that you must do
 in the  land1 which the ,lord the ,god 
of thy fathers will give thee1 to       
possess  it all the days that thou shalt
 walk upon the earth4    #ab3b4 ,destroy
 all the places in which the nations1   
that you shall  possess1 worshipped     
their gods upon high mountains1 and     
hills1 and under  every shady tree3     
#ab3c4 ,overthrow their altars1 and     
break down their statues1 burn their    
groves with fire1 and break their idols 
in pieces3 destroy their names  out of  
those places4    #ab3d4 ,you shall not  
do so to the ,lord your ,god3    #ab3e4 
,but you shall come to the place1 which 
the ,lord your ,god shall  choose out of
 all your tribes1 to put his name there1
 and to dwell in  it3    #ab3f4 ,and you
 shall offer in that place your         
holocausts and victims1 the  tithes and

ceremonies  which he commanded thee4

daughter1    #bh3eg4 ,and the filth of  
the afterbirths1 that come forth from   
between  her thighs1 and the children

multitude1 because thou heardst not the 
voice of the ,lord  thy ,god4    #bh3fc4

before doing good to you1 and           
multiplying you3 so he shall rejoice    

destroying and bringing you to  nought1

ignorant of and thy fathers1 wood and   
stone4    #bh3fe4 ,neither shalt thou be
 quiet1 even in those nations1 nor shall

trust thy life4    #bh3fg4 ,in the      
morning thou shalt say3 ,who will grant 
me evening8 and at  evening3 ,who will

that  covenant which he made with them  
in ,horeb4    #bi3b4 ,and ,moses called 
all ,israel1 and said to them3 ,you have
 seen all  the things that the ,lord did
 before you in the land of ,egypt to    
,pharao1  and to all his servants1 and  
to his whole land4    #bi3c4 ,the great 
temptations1 which thy eyes have seen1  
those mighty  signs and wonders1

 a heart to understand1 and eyes to     

see1 and ears that may hear1 unto this  
present day4    ,hath not given you1    
etc444 ,through your own fault and      
because you  resisted his grace4

through the desert3 your garments  are  
not worn out1 neither are the shoes of  
your feet consumed with age4    #bi3f4  
,you have not eaten bread1 nor have you 
drunk wine or strong drink3  that you   
might know that ,i am the ,lord your    
,god4    #bi3g4 ,and you came to this   
place3 and ,sehon king of ,hesebon1 and 
,og king  of ,basan1 came out against us
 to fight4 ,and we slew them4    #bi3h4 
,and took their land1 and delivered it  
for a possession to ,ruben  and ,gad1

tribes1 and ancients1 and doctors1 all  
the people of ,israel1    #bi3aa4 ,your 

children and your wives1 and the        
stranger that abideth with  thee in the

them that bring water3    #bi3ab4 ,that 
thou mayst pass in the covenant of the  
,lord thy ,god1 and in  the oath which  
this day the ,lord thy ,god maketh with 
thee4    #bi3ac4 ,that he may raise thee
 up a people to himself1 and he may be  
thy  ,god as he hath spoken to thee1 and
 as he swore to thy fathers ,abraham1

with you only do ,i make this covenant1 
and confirm these  oaths1    #bi3ae4

are absent4    #bi3af4 ,for you know how
 we dwelt in the land of ,egypt1 and how
 we have  passed through the midst of   
nations1 and passing through them1      
#bi3ag4 ,you have seen their            
abominations and filth1 that is to say1 
their  idols1 wood and stone1 silver and
 gold1 which they worshipped4    #bi3ah4

 a man or a woman1 a family  or a tribe1

 whose heart is turned away this day    
from the ,lord our ,god1  to go and     
serve the gods of those nations3 and    
there should be among you  a root       
bringing forth gall and bitterness4

words of this oath1 he should bless     
himself in his heart saying3 ,i shall   
have peace1 and will walk on in the     
naughtiness of my heart3 and the drunken
 may consume the thirsty1    ,the       
drunken1 etc41 absumat ebria

expression1 which may either be         
understood1 as spoken by the sinner1    
blessing1 that is1 flattering himself in
 his sins with the imagination  of      
peace1 and so great an abundance as may 
satisfy1 and as it were1  consume all   
thirst and want3 or it may be referred  
to the root of  bitterness1 spoken of   
before1 which being drunken with sin may
 attract1  and by that means consume1   
such as thirst after the like evils4    
#bi3bj4 ,and the ,lord should not       

forgive him3 but his wrath and jealousy 
against that man should be exceedingly  
enkindled at that time1 and all  the    
curses that are written in this volume  
should light upon him3 and  the ,lord   
should blot out his name from under     
heaven1    #bi3ba4 ,and utterly destroy 
him out of all the tribes of ,israel1   
according to the curses that are        
contained in the book of this law and   
covenant3    #bi3bb4 ,and the following 
generation shall say1 and the children  
that  shall be born hereafter1 and the  
strangers that shall come from afar1    
seeing the plagues of that land and the 
evils wherewith the ,lord hath          
afflicted it1    #bi3bc4 ,burning it    
with brimstone1 and the heat of salt1 so
 that it  cannot be sown any more1 nor  
any green thing grow therein1 after the 
example of the destruction of ,sodom and
 ,gomorrha1 ,adama and ,seboim1  which  
the ,lord destroyed in his wrath and    
indignation3    #bi3bd4 ,and all the    
nations shall say3 ,why hath the ,lord  

done thus to  this land8 what meaneth   
this exceeding great heat of his wrath8 
#bi3be4 ,and they shall answer3 ,because
 they forsook the covenant of the       
,lord1 which he made with their fathers1
 when he brought them out of the  land  
of ,egypt3    #bi3bf4 ,and they have    
served strange gods1 and adored them1   
whom they  knew not1 and for whom they  
had not been assigned3    #bi3bg4       
,therefore the wrath of the ,lord was   
kindled against this land1 to  bring    
upon it all the curses that are written 
in this volume3    #bi3bh4 ,and he hath 
cast them out of their land1 in anger   
and in wrath1  and in very great        
indignation1 and hath thrown them into a
 strange land1  as it is seen this day4 
#bi3bi4 ,secret things to the ,lord our 
,god3 things that are manifest1 to  us  
and to our children for ever1 that we   
may do all the words of this  law4      
,secret things1 etc444 ,as much as to   
say1 secret things belong to1 and  are  
known to1 ,god alone2 our business must 

be to observe what he has  revealed and 
manifested to us1 and to direct our     
lives accordingly4    ,deuteronomy      
,chapter #cj    ,great mercies are      
promised to the penitent3 ,god's        
commandment is  feasible4 ,life and     
death are set before them4    #cj3a4    
,now when all these things shall be come
 upon thee1 the blessing or  the curse1 
which ,i have set forth before thee1 and
 thou shalt be touched  with repentance 
of thy heart among all the nations1 into
 which the ,lord  thy ,god shall have   
scattered thee1    #cj3b4 ,and shalt    
return to him1 and obey his             
commandments1 as ,i command  thee this  
day1 thou and thy children1 with all thy
 heart1 and with all  thy soul3         
#cj3c4 ,the ,lord thy ,god will bring   
back again thy captivity1 and will  have
 mercy on thee1 and gather thee again   
out of all the nations1 into  which he  
scattered thee before4    #cj3d4 ,if    
thou be driven as far as the poles of   
heaven1 the ,lord thy ,god  will fetch  

thee back from hence1    #cj3e4 ,and    
will take thee to himself1 and bring    
thee into the land which  thy fathers   
possessed1 and thou shalt possess it3   
and blessing thee1 he  will make thee   
more numerous than were thy fathers4    
#cj3f4 ,the ,lord thy ,god will         
circumcise thy heart1 and the heart of  
thy  seed3 that thou mayst love the     
,lord thy ,god with all thy heart and   
with  all thy soul1 that thou mayst     
live4    #cj3g4 ,and he will turn all   
these curses upon thy enemies1 and upon 
them  that hate and persecute thee4     
#cj3h4 ,but thou shalt return1 and hear 
the voice of the ,lord thy ,god1 and    
shalt do all the commandments which ,i  
command thee this day3    #cj3i4 ,and   
the ,lord thy ,god will make thee abound
 in all the works of thy  hands1 in the 
fruit of thy womb1 and in the fruit of  
thy cattle1 in the  fruitfulness of thy 
land1 and in the plenty of all things4  
,for the ,lord  will return to rejoice  
over thee in all good things1 as he     

rejoiced in  thy fathers3    #cj3aj4    
,yet so if thou hear the voice of the   
,lord thy ,god1 and keep his  precepts  
and ceremonies1 which are written in    
this law3 and return to  the ,lord thy  
,god with all thy heart1 and with all   
thy soul4    #cj3aa4 ,this commandment1 
that ,i command thee this day is not    
above thee1  nor far off from thee3     
#cj3ab4 ,nor is it in heaven1 that thou 
shouldst say3 ,which of us can go  up to
 heaven to bring it unto us1 and we may 
hear and fulfil it in work8    #cj3ac4  
,nor is it beyond the sea3 that thou    
mayst excuse thyself1 and  say3 ,which  
of us can cross the sea1 and bring it   
unto us3 that we may  hear1 and do that 
which is commanded8    #cj3ad4 ,but the 
word is very nigh unto thee1 in thy     
mouth and in thy  heart1 that thou mayst
 do it4    #cj3ae4 ,consider that ,i    
have set before thee this day life and  
good1 and  on the other hand death and  
evil3    #cj3af4 ,that thou mayst love  
the ,lord thy ,god1 and walk in his     

ways1 and  keep his commandments and    
ceremonies and judgments1 and bless thee
 in  the land1 which thou shalt go in to
 possess4    #cj3ag4 ,but if thy heart  
be turned away1 so that thou wilt not   
hear1 and  being deceived with error    
thou adore strange gods1 and serve them3
    #cj3ah4 ,i foretell thee this day   
that thou shalt perish1 and shalt remain
  but a short time in the land1 to which
 thou shalt pass over the ,jordan1  and 
shalt go in to possess it4    #cj3ai4 ,i
 call heaven and earth to witness this  
day1 that ,i have set  before you life  
and death1 blessing and cursing4 ,choose
 therefore life1  that both thou and thy
 seed may live3    #cj3bj4 ,and that    
thou mayst love the ,lord thy ,god1 and 
obey his voice1  and adhere to him 7for 
he is thy life1 and the length of thy   
days17 that  thou mayst dwell in the    
land1 for which the ,lord swore to thy  
fathers  ,abraham1 ,isaac1 and ,jacob   
that he would give it them4             
,deuteronomy ,chapter #ca    ,moses     

encourageth the people1 and ,josue1 who 
is appointed to succeed  him4 ,he       
delivereth the law to the priests4 ,god 
foretelleth that the  people will often 
forsake him1 and that he will punish    
them4 ,he  commandeth ,moses to write a 
canticle1 as a constant remembrancer of 
the  law4    #ca3a4 ,and ,moses went1   
and spoke all these words to all        
,israel1    #ca3b4 ,and he said to them3
 ,i am this day a hundred and twenty    
years old1  ,i can no longer go out and 
come in1 especially as the ,lord also   
hath  said to me3 ,thou shalt not pass  
over this ,jordan4    #ca3c4 ,the ,lord 
thy ,god then will pass over before     
thee3 he will destroy  all these nations
 in thy sight1 and thou shalt possess   
them3 and this  ,josue shall go over    
before thee1 as the ,lord hath spoken4  
#ca3d4 ,and the ,lord shall do to them  
as he did to ,sehon and ,og the kings   
of the ,amorrhites1 and to their land1  
and shall destroy them4    #ca3e4       
,therefore when the ,lord shall have    

delivered these also to you1  you shall 
do in like manner to them as ,i have    
commmanded you4    #ca3f4 ,do manfully  
and be of good heart3 fear not1 nor be  
ye dismayed at  their sight3 for the    
,lord thy ,god he himself is thy leader1
 and will not  leave thee nor forsake   
thee4    #ca3g4 ,and ,moses called      
,josue1 and said to him before all      
,israel3 ,take  courage1 and be valiant3
 for thou shalt bring this people into  
the land  which the ,lord swore he would
 give to their fathers1 and thou shalt  
divide it by lot4    #ca3h4 ,and the    
,lord who is your leader1 he himself    
will be with thee3 he  will not leave   
thee1 nor forsake thee3 fear not1       
neither be dismayed4    #ca3i4 ,and     
,moses wrote this law1 and delivered it 
to the priests the sons  of ,levi1 who  
carried the ark of the covenant of the  
,lord1 and to all the  ancients of      
,israel4    #ca3aj4 ,and he commanded   
them1 saying3 ,after seven years1 in the
 year of  remission1 in the feast of    

tabernacles1    #ca3aa4 ,when all       
,israel come together1 to appear in the 
sight of the ,lord  thy ,god in the     
place which the ,lord shall choose1 thou
 shalt read the  words of this law      
before all ,israel1 in their hearing4   
#ca3ab4 ,and the people being all       
assembled together1 both men and women1 
children and strangers1 that are within 
thy gates3 that hearing they may  learn1
 and fear the ,lord your ,god1 and keep1
 and fulfil all the words of  this law3 
#ca3ac4 ,that their children also1 who  
now are ignorant1 may hear1 and  fear   
the ,lord their ,god1 all the days that 
they live in the land whither  you are  
going over the ,jordan to possess it4   
#ca3ad4 ,and the ,lord said to ,moses3  
,behold the days of thy death are  nigh3
 call ,josue1 and stand ye in the       
tabernacle of the testimony1 that  ,i   
may give him a charge4 ,so ,moses and   
,josue went and stood in the  tabernacle
 of the testimony3    #ca3ae4 ,and the  
,lord appeared there in the pillar of a 

cloud1 which stood  in the entry of the 
tabernacle4    #ca3af4 ,and the ,lord   
said to ,moses3 ,behold thou shalt sleep
 with thy  fathers1 and this people     
rising up will go a fornicating after   
strange  gods in the land1 to which it  
goeth in to dwell3 there will they      
forsake  me1 and will make void the     
covenant1 which ,i have made with them1 
#ca3ag4 ,and my wrath shall be kindled  
against them in that day3 and ,i  will  
forsake them1 and will hide my face from
 them1 and they shall be  devoured3 all 
evils and afflictions shall find them1  
so that they shall  say in that day3 ,in
 truth it is because ,god is not with   
me1 that these  evils have found me4    
#ca3ah4 ,but ,i will hide1 and cover my 
face in that day1 for all the evils     
which they have done1 because they have 
followed strange gods4    #ca3ai4 ,now  
therefore write you this canticle1 and  
teach the children of  ,israel3 that    
they may know it by heart1 and sing it  
by mouth1 and this  song may be unto me 

for a testimony among the children of   
,israel4    #ca3bj4 ,for ,i will bring  
them into the land1 for which ,i swore  
to their  fathers1 that floweth with    
milk and honey4 ,and when they have     
eaten1 and  are full and fat1 they will 
turn away after strange gods1 and will  
serve  them3 and will despise me1 and   
make void my covenant4    #ca3ba4 ,and  
after many evils and afflictions shall  
have come upon them1  this canticle     
shall answer them for a testimony1 which
 no oblivion shall  take away out of the
 mouth of their seed4 ,for ,i know their
 thoughts1 and  what they are about to  
do this day1 before that ,i bring them  
into the  land which ,i have promised   
them4    #ca3bb4 ,moses therefore wrote 
the canticle1 and taught it to the      
children  of ,israel4    #ca3bc4 ,and   
the ,lord commanded ,josue the son of   
,nun1 and said3 ,take  courage1 and be  
valiant3 for thou shalt bring the       
children of ,israel  into the land which
 ,i have promised1 and ,i will be with  

thee4    #ca3bd4 ,therefore after ,moses
 had wrote the words of this law in a   
volume1 and finished it3    #ca3be4 ,he 
commanded the ,levites1 who carried the 
ark of the covenant of  the ,lord1      
saying3    #ca3bf4 ,take this book1 and 
put it in the side of the ark of the    
covenant  of the ,lord your ,god3 that  
it may be there for a testimony against 
thee4    #ca3bg4 ,for ,i know thy       
obstinacy1 and thy most stiff neck4     
,while ,i am yet  living1 and going in  
with you1 you have always been          
rebellious against  the ,lord3 how much 
more when ,i shall be dead8    #ca3bh4  
,gather unto me all the ancients of your
 tribes1 and your doctors1  and ,i will 
speak these words in their hearing1 and 
will call heaven and  earth to witness  
against them4    #ca3bi4 ,for ,i know   
that1 after my death1 you will do       
wickedly1 and will  quickly turn aside  
form the way that ,i have commanded you3
 and evils  shall come upon you in the  
latter times1 when you shall do evil in 

the  sight of the ,lord1 to provoke him 
by the works of your hands4    #ca3cj4  
,moses therefore spoke1 in the hearing  
of the whole assembly of  ,israel1 the  
words of this canticle1 and finished it 
even to the end4    ,deuteronomy        
,chapter #cb    ,a canticle for the     
remembrance of the law4 ,moses is       
commanded to go up  into a mountain1    
from whence he shall see the promised   
land but not  enter into it4    #cb3a4  
,hear1 ,o ye heavens1 the things ,i     
speak1 let the earth give ear to  the   
words of my mouth4    #cb3b4 ,let my    
doctrine gather as the rain1 let my     
speech distil as the  dew1 as a shower  
upon the herb1 and as drops upon the    
grass4    #cb3c4 ,because ,i will invoke
 the name of the ,lord3 give ye         
magnificence  to our ,god4    #cb3d4    
,the works of ,god are perfect1 and all 
his ways are judgments3 ,god  is        
faithful and without any iniquity1 he is
 just and right4    #cb3e4 ,they have   
sinned against him1 and are none of his 

children in  their filth3 they are a    
wicked and perverse generation4         
#cb3f4 ,is this the return thou makest  
to the ,lord1 ,o foolish and  senseless 
people8 ,is not he thy father1 that hath
 possessed thee1 and  made thee1 and    
created thee8    #cb3g4 ,remember the   
days of old1 think upon every           
generation3 ask thy  father1 and he will
 declare to thee3 thy elders and they   
will tell thee4    #cb3h4 ,when the     
,most ,high divided the nations3 when he
 separated the sons  of ,adam1 he       
appointed the bounds of people according
 to the number of  the children of      
,israel4    #cb3i4 ,but the ,lord's     
portion is his people3 ,jacob the lot of
 his  inheritance4    #cb3aj4 ,he found 
him in a desert land1 in a place of     
horror1 and of vast  wilderness3 he led 
him about1 and taught him3 and he kept  
him as the  apple of his eye4    #cb3aa4
 ,as the eagle enticing her young to    
fly1 and hovering over them1  he spread 
his wings1 and hath taken him and       

carried him on his  shoulders4          
#cb3ab4 ,the ,lord alone was his leader3
 and there was no strange god with  him4
    #cb3ac4 ,he set him upon high land3 
that he might eat the fruits of the     
fields1 that he might suck honey out of 
the rock1 and oil out of the  hardest   
stone1    #cb3ad4 ,butter of the herd1  
and milk of the sheep with the fat of   
lambs1  and of the rams of the breed of 
,basan3 and goats with the marrow of    
wheat1 and might drink the purest blood 
of the grape4    #cb3ae4 ,the beloved   
grew fat1 and kicked3 he grew fat1 and  
thick and  gross1 he forsook ,god who   
made him1 and departed from ,god his    
saviour4    #cb3af4 ,they provoked him  
by strange gods1 and stirred him up to  
anger1  with their abominations4        
#cb3ag4 ,they sacrificed to devils and  
not to ,god3 to gods whom they knew     
not3 that were newly come up1 whom their
 fathers worshipped not4    #cb3ah4     
,thou hast forsaken the ,god that begot 
thee1 and hast forgotten  the ,lord that

 created thee4    #cb3ai4 ,the ,lord    
saw1 and was moved to wrath3 because his
 own sons and  daughters provoked him4  
#cb3bj4 ,and he said3 ,i will hide my   
face from them1 and will consider  what 
their last end shall be3 for it is a    
perverse generation1 and  unfaithful    
children4    #cb3ba4 ,they have provoked
 me with that which was no god1 and have
  angered me with their vanities3 and ,i
 will provoke them with that which  is  
no people1 and will vex them with a     
foolish nation4    #cb3bb4 ,a fire is   
kindled in my wrath1 and shall burn even
 to the lowest  hell3 and shall devour  
the earth with her increase1 and shall  
burn the  foundations of the mountains4 
#cb3bc4 ,i will heap evils upon them1   
and will spend my arrows among them4    
#cb3bd4 ,they shall be consumed with    
famine1 and birds shall devour them     
with a most bitter bite3 ,i will send   
the teeth of beasts upon them1 with  the
 fury of creatures that trail upon the  
ground1 and of serpents4    #cb3be4     

,without1 the sword shall lay them      
waste1 and terror within1 both  the     
young man and the virgin1 the sucking   
child with the man in years4    #cb3bf4 
,i said3 ,where are they8 ,i will make  
the memory of them to cease  from among 
men4    #cb3bg4 ,but for the wrath of   
the enemies ,i have deferred it3 lest   
perhaps  their enemies might be proud1  
and should say3 ,our mighty hand1 and   
not  the ,lord1 hath done all these     
things4    #cb3bh4 ,they are a nation   
without counsel1 and without wisdom4    
#cb3bi4 ,o that they would be wise and  
would understand1 and would provide  for
 their last end4    #cb3cj4 ,how should 
one pursue after a thousand1 and two    
chase ten  thousand8 ,was it not1       
because their ,god had sold them1 and   
the ,lord had  shut them up8    #cb3ca4 
,for our ,god is not as their gods3 our 
enemies themselves are  judges4         
#cb3cb4 ,their vines are of the vineyard
 of ,sodom1 and of the suburbs of       
,gomorrha3 their grapes are grapes of   

gall1 and their clusters most  bitter4  
#cb3cc4 ,their wine is the gall of      
dragons1 and the venom of asps1 which   
is incurable4    #cb3cd4 ,are not these 
things stored up with me1 and sealed up 
in my  treasures8    #cb3ce4 ,revenge is
 mine1 and ,i will repay them in due    
time1 that their  foot may slide3 the   
day of destruction is at hand1 and the  
time makes  haste to come4    #cb3cf4   
,the ,lord will judge his people1 and   
will have mercy on his  servants3 he    
shall see that their hand is weakened1  
and that they who  were shut up have    
also failed1 and they that remained are 
consumed4    #cb3cg4 ,and he shall say3 
,where are their gods1 in whom they     
trusted8    #cb3ch4 ,of whose victims   
they ate the fat1 and drank the wine of 
their  drink offerings3 let them arise  
and help you1 and protect you in your   
distress4    #cb3ci4 ,see ye that ,i    
alone am1 and there is no other ,god    
besides me3 ,i  will kill and ,i will   
make to live3 ,i will strike1 and ,i    

will heal1 and  there is none that can  
deliver out of my hand4    #cb3dj4 ,i   
will lift up my hand to heaven1 and ,i  
will say3 ,i live for  ever4    #cb3da4 
,if ,i shall whet my sword as the       
lightning1 and my hand take hold  on    
judgment3 ,i will render vengeance to my
 enemies1 and repay them that  hate me4 
#cb3db4 ,i will make my arrows drunk    
with blood1 and my sword shall devour   
flesh1 of the blood of the slain and of 
the captivity1 of the bare head  of the 
enemies4    #cb3dc4 ,praise his people1 
ye nations1 for he will revenge the     
blood of  his servants3 and will render 
vengeance to their enemies1 and he will 
be  merciful to the land of his people4 
#cb3dd4 ,so ,moses came and spoke all   
the words of this canticle in the  ears 
of the people1 and ,josue the son of    
,nun4    #cb3de4 ,and he ended all these
 words1 speaking to all ,israel4        
#cb3df4 ,and he said to them3 ,set your 
hearts on all the words1 which ,i       
testify to you this day3 which you shall

 command your children to  observe and  
to do1 and to fulfil all that is written
 in this law3    #cb3dg4 ,for they are  
not commanded you in vain1 but that     
every one should  live in them1 and that
 doing them you may continue a long time
 in the  land whither you are going over
 the ,jordan to possess it4    #cb3dh4  
,and the ,lord spoke to ,moses the same 
day1 saying3    #cb3di4 ,go up into this
 mountain ,abarim1 7that is to say1 of  
passages17  unto mount ,nebo1 which is  
in the land of ,moab over against       
,jericho3 and  see the land of ,chanaan1
 which ,i will deliver to the children  
of ,israel  to possess1 and die thou in 
the mountain4    #cb3ej4 ,when thou art 
gone up into it thou shalt be gathered  
to thy  people1 as ,aaron thy brother   
died in mount ,hor1 and was gathered to 
his  people3    #cb3ea4 ,because you    
trespassed against me in the midst of   
the children of  ,israel1 at the waters 
of contradiction1 in ,cades of the      
desert of ,sin3  and you did not        

sanctify me among the children of       
,israel4    #cb3eb4 ,thou shalt see the 
land before thee1 which ,i will give to 
the  children of ,israel1 but thou shalt
 not enter into it4    ,deuteronomy     
,chapter #cc    ,moses before his death 
blesseth the tribes of ,israel4         
#cc3a4 ,this is the blessing1 wherewith 
the man of ,god1 ,moses1 blessed the    
children of ,israel1 before his death4  
#cc3b4 ,and he said3 ,the ,lord came    
from ,sinai1 and from ,seir he rose up  
to  us3 he hath appeared from mount     
,pharan1 and with him thousands of      
saints4 ,in his right hand a fiery law4 
#cc3c4 ,he hath loved the people1 all   
the saints are in his hand3 and they    
that approach to his feet1 shall receive
 of his doctrine4    #cc3d4 ,moses      
commanded us a law1 the inheritance of  
the multitude of  ,jacob4    #cc3e4 ,he 
shall be king with the most right1 the  
princes of the people1  being assembled 
with the tribes of ,israel4    #cc3f4   
,let ,ruben live1 and not die1 and be he

 small in number4    #cc3g4 ,this is the
 blessing of ,juda4 ,hear1 ,o ,lord1 the
 voice of ,juda1 and  bring him in unto 
his people3 his hands shall fight for   
him1 and he  shall be his helper against
 his enemies4    #cc3h4 ,to ,levi also  
he said3 ,thy perfection1 and thy       
doctrine be to thy  holy man1 whom thou 
hast proved in the temptation1 and      
judged at the  waters of contradiction3 
,holy man444 ,aaron and his successors  
in the priesthood4    #cc3i4 ,who hath  
said to his father1 and to his mother3  
,i do not know you2  and to his         
bretheren3 ,i know you not3 and their   
own children they have  not known4      
,these have kept thy word1 and observed 
thy covenant1    ,who hath said1 etc444 
,it is the duty of the priestly tribe to
 prefer  ,god's honour and service      
before all considerations of flesh and  
blood3  in such manner as to behave as  
strangers to their nearest akin1 when   
these would withdraw them from the      
business of their calling4    #cc3aj4   

,thy judgments1 ,o ,jacob1 and thy law1 
,o ,israel3 they shall put  incense in  
thy wrath and holocaust upon thy altar4 
#cc3aa4 ,bless1 ,o ,lord1 his strength1 
and receive the works of his hands4     
,strike the backs of his enemies1 and   
let not them that hate him rise4        
#cc3ab4 ,and to ,benjamin he said3 ,the 
best beloved of the ,lord shall dwell   
confidently in him3 as in a bride       
chamber shall he abide all the day      
long1 and between his shoulders shall be
 rest4    ,shall dwell1 etc444 ,this    
seems to allude to the temple being     
built in  the confines of the tribe of  
,benjamin4    #cc3ac4 ,to ,joseph also  
he said3 ,of the blessing of the ,lord  
be his land1  of the fruits of heaven1  
and of the dew1 and of the deep that    
lieth  beneath4    #cc3ad4 ,of the      
fruits brought forth by the sun and by  
the moon4    #cc3ae4 ,of the tops of the
 ancient mountains1 of the fruits of the
  everlasting hills3    #cc3af4 ,and of 
the fruits of the earth1 and of the     

fulness thereof4 ,the  blessing of him  
that appeared in the bush1 come upon the
 head of ,joseph1  and upon the crown of
 the ,nazarite among his brethren4      
,the ,nazarite444 ,see the note on ,gen4
 #di4bf4    #cc3ag4 ,his beauty as of   
the firstling of a bullock1 his horns as
 the  horns of a rhinoceros3 with them  
shall he push the nations even to the   
ends of the earth4 ,these are the       
multitudes of ,ephraim and these the    
thousands of ,manasses4    #cc3ah4 ,and 
to ,zabulon he said3 ,rejoice1 ,o       
,zabulon1 in thy going out2 and         
,issachar in thy tabernacles4    #cc3ai4
 ,they shall call the people to the     
mountain3 there shall they  sacrifice   
the victims of justice4 ,who shall suck 
as milk the abundance  of the sea1 and  
the hidden treasures of the sands4      
#cc3bj4 ,and to ,gad he said3 ,blessed  
be ,gad in his breadth3 he hath rested  
as a lion1 and hath seized upon the arm 
and the top of the head4    #cc3ba4 ,and
 he saw his pre-eminence1 that in his   

portion the teacher was  laid up3 who   
was with the princes of the people1 and 
did the justices of  the ,lord1 and his 
judgment with ,israel4    ,he saw1      
etc444 ,the pre-eminence of the tribe of
 ,gad1 to which this  alludeth1 was     
their having the lawgiver ,moses buried 
in their borders2  though the particular
 place was not known4    #cc3bb4 ,to    
,dan also he said3 ,dan is a young lion1
 he shall flow  plentifully from ,basan4
    #cc3bc4 ,and ,to ,nephtali he said3 
,nephtali shall enjoy abundance1 and    
shall be full of the blessings of the   
,lord3 he shall possess the sea and  the
 south4    ,the sea444 ,the lake of     
,genesareth4    #cc3bd4 ,to ,aser also  
he said3 ,let ,aser be blessed with     
children1 let him  be acceptable to his 
brethren1 and let him dip his foot in   
oil4    #cc3be4 ,his shoe shall be iron 
and brass4 ,as the days of thy youth1 so
  also shall thy old age be4    #cc3bf4 
,there is no other god like the ,god of 
the rightest3 he that is  mounted upon  

the heaven is thy helper4 ,by his       
magnificence the clouds  run hither and 
thither4    #cc3bg4 ,his dwelling is    
above1 and underneath are the           
everlasting arms3  he shall cast out the
 enemy from before thee1 and shall say3 
,be thou  brought to nought4            
,underneath are the everlasting arms444 
,though the dwelling of ,god be  above  
in heaven1 his arms are always stretched
 out to help us here  below4    #cc3bh4 
,israel shall dwell in safety1 and      
alone4 ,the eye of ,jacob in a  land of 
corn and wine1 and the heavens shall be 
misty with dew4    #cc3bi4 ,blessed art 
thou1 ,israel3 who is like to thee1 ,o  
people1 that art  saved by the ,lord8   
the shield of thy help1 and the sword of
 thy glory3  thy enemies shall deny     
thee1 and thou shalt tread upon their   
necks4    ,deuteronomy ,chapter #cd     
,moses seeth the promised land1 but is  
not suffered to go into it4 ,he  dieth  
at the age of #abj years4 ,god burieth  
his body secretly1 and all  ,israel     

mourn for him thirty days4 ,josue1      
replenished 7by imposition of  ,moses's 
hands7 with the spirit of ,god1         
succeedeth4 ,but ,moses1 for his        
special familiarity with ,god1 and for  
most wonderful miracles1 is  commended  
above all other prophets4    #cd3a4     
,then ,moses went up from the plains of 
,moab upon mount ,nebo1 to the  top of  
,phasga over against ,jericho3 and the  
,lord shewed him all the land  of       
,galaad as far as ,dan4    #cd3b4 ,and  
all ,nephtali1 and the land of ,ephraim 
and ,manasses1 and all  the land of     
,juda unto the furthermost sea1         
#cd3c4 ,and the south part1 and the     
breadth of the plain of ,jericho the    
city of palm trees as far as ,segor4    
#cd3d4 ,and the ,lord said to him3 ,this
 is the land1 for which ,i swore to     
,abraham1 ,isaac1 and ,jacob1 saying3 ,i
 will give it to thy seed4 ,thou hast   
seen it with thy eyes1 and shalt not    
pass over to it4    #cd3e4 ,and ,moses  
the servant of the ,lord died there1 in 

the land of ,moab1  by the commandment  
of the ,lord3    ,died there444 ,this   
last chapter of ,deuteronomy1 inwhich   
the death of  ,moses is related1 was    
written by ,josue1 or by some of the    
prophets4    #cd3f4 ,and he buried him  
in the valley of the land of ,moab over 
against  ,phogor3 and no man hath known 
of his sepulchre until this present day4
    ,he buried him1 viz444 by the       
ministry of angels1 and would have the  
place of his burial to be unknown1 lest 
the ,israelites1 who were so  prone to  
idolatry1 might worship him with divine 
honours4    #cd3g4 ,moses was a hundred 
and twenty years old when he died3 his  
eye was  not dim1 neither were his teeth
 moved4    #cd3h4 ,and the children of  
,israel mourned for him in the plains of
 ,moab  thirty days3 and the days of    
their mourning in which they mourned    
,moses  were ended4    #cd3i4 ,and      
,josue the son of ,nun was filled with  
the spirit of wisdom1  because ,moses   
had laid his hands upon him4 ,and the   

children of ,israel  obeyed him1 and did
 as the ,lord comanded ,moses4          
#cd3aj4 ,and there arose no more a      
prophet in ,israel like unto ,moses1    
whom  the ,lord knew face to face1      
#cd3aa4 ,in all the signs and wonders1  
which he sent by him1 to do in the  land
 of ,egypt to ,pharao1 and to all his   
servants1 and to his whole land1        
#cd3ab4 ,and all the mighty hand1 and   
great miracles1 which ,moses did  before
 all ,israel4
