These [are] the words which Moses – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – These [are] the words which Moses hath spoken unto all Israel, beyond the Jordan, in the wilderness, in the plain over-against Suph, between Paran and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-Zahab;

²eleven days’ from Horeb, the way of mount Seir, unto Kadesh-Barnea.

^{3 And it cometh to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month hath Moses spoken unto the sons of Israel according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him concerning them;}

⁴after his smiting Sihon king of the Amorite who is dwelling in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan who is dwelling in Ashtaroth in Edrei,

⁵beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, hath Moses begun to explain this law, saying:

^{6 `Jehovah our God hath spoken unto us in Horeb, saying, Enough to you — of dwelling in this mount;}

⁷turn ye and journey for you, and enter the mount of the Amorite, and unto all its neighbouring places, in the plain, in the hill-country, and in the low country, and in the south, and in the haven of the sea, the land of the Canaanite, and of Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Phrat;

^{8 see, I have set before you the land; go in and possess the land which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them, and to their seed after them.}

⁹`And I speak unto you at that time, saying, I am not able by myself to bear you;

^{10 Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and lo, ye [are] to-day as the stars of the heavens for multitude;}

¹¹Jehovah, God of your fathers, is adding to you, as ye [are], a thousand times, and doth bless you as He hath spoken to you.

¹²`How do I bear by myself your pressure, and your burden, and your strife?

^{13 Give for yourselves men, wise and intelligent, and known to your tribes, and I set them for your heads;}

¹⁴and ye answer me and say, Good [is] the thing which thou hast spoken — to do.

¹⁵`And I take the heads of your tribes, men, wise and known, and I appoint them heads over you, princes of thousands, and princes of hundreds, and princes of fifties, and princes of tens, and authorities, for your tribes.

¹⁶And I command your judges at that time, saying, Hearkening between your brethren — then ye have judged righteousness between a man, and his brother, and his sojourner;

¹⁷ye do not discern faces in judgment; as the little so the great ye do hear; ye are not afraid of the face of any, for the judgment is God’s, and the thing which is too hard for you, ye bring near unto me, and I have heard it;

¹⁸and I command you, at that time, all the things which ye do.

¹⁹`And we journey from Horeb, and go [through] all that great and fearful wilderness which ye have seen — the way of the hill-country of the Amorite, as Jehovah our God hath commanded us, and we come in unto Kadesh-Barnea.

^{20 `And I say unto you, Ye have come in unto the hill-country of the Amorite, which Jehovah our God is giving to us;}

^{21 see, Jehovah thy God hath set before thee the land; go up, possess, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee; fear not, nor be affrighted.}

²²`And ye come near unto me, all of you, and say, Let us send men before us, and they search for us the land, and they bring us back word [concerning] the way in which we go up into it, and the cities unto which we come in;

²³and the thing is good in mine eyes, and I take of you twelve men, one man for a tribe.

²⁴`And they turn and go up to the hill-country, and come in unto the valley of Eshcol, and spy it,

^{25 and they take with their hand of the fruit of the land, and bring down unto us, and bring us back word, and say, Good is the land which Jehovah our God is giving to us.}

^{26 `And ye have not been willing to go up, and ye provoke the mouth of Jehovah your God,}

^{27 and murmur in your tents, and say, In Jehovah’s hating us He hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, to give us into the hand of the Amorite — to destroy us;}

²⁸whither are we going up? our brethren have melted our heart, saying, A people greater and taller than we, cities great and fenced to heaven, and also sons of Anakim — we have seen there.

²⁹`And I say unto you, Be not terrified, nor be afraid of them;

³⁰Jehovah your God, who is going before you — He doth fight for you, according to all that He hath done with you in Egypt before your eyes,

^{31 and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen that Jehovah thy God hath borne thee as a man beareth his son, in all the way which ye have gone, till your coming in unto this place.}

³²`And in this thing ye are not stedfast in Jehovah your God,

³³who is going before you in the way to search out to you a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to shew you in the way in which ye go, and in a cloud by day.

^{34 `And Jehovah heareth the voice of your words, and is wroth, and sweareth, saying,}

³⁵Not one of these men of this evil generation doth see the good land which I have sworn to give to your fathers,

^{36 save Caleb son of Jephunneh — he doth see it, and to him I give the land on which he hath trodden, and to his sons, because that he hath been fully after Jehovah.}

^{37 `Also with me hath Jehovah been angry for your sake, saying, Also, thou dost not go in thither;}

³⁸Joshua son of Nun, who is standing before thee, he goeth in thither; him strengthen thou; for he doth cause Israel to inherit.

³⁹`And your infants, of whom ye have said, For a prey they are, and your sons who have not known to-day good and evil, they go in thither, and to them I give it, and they possess it;

^{40 and ye, turn for yourselves, and journey toward the wilderness, the way of the Red Sea.}

^{41 `And ye answer and say unto me, We have sinned against Jehovah; we — we go up, and we have fought, according to all that which Jehovah our God hath commanded us; and ye gird on each his weapons of war, and ye are ready to go up into the hill-country;}

⁴²and Jehovah saith unto me, Say to them, Ye do not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, and ye are not smitten before your enemies.

⁴³`And I speak unto you, and ye have not hearkened, and provoke the mouth of Jehovah, and act proudly, and go up into the hill-country;

⁴⁴and the Amorite who is dwelling in that hill-country cometh out to meet you, and they pursue you as the bees do, and smite you in Seir — unto Hormah.

^{45 `And ye turn back and weep before Jehovah, and Jehovah hath not hearkened to your voice, nor hath he given ear unto you;}

^{46 and ye dwell in Kadesh many days, according to the days which ye had dwelt. – Aslan International Ministry}

`And this [is] the command, the statutes – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – `And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which Jehovah your God hath commanded to teach you, to do in the land which ye are passing over thither to possess it,

^{2 so that thou dost fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commands, which I am commanding thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all days of thy life, and so that thy days are prolonged.}

^{3 `And thou hast heard, O Israel, and observed to do, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest multiply exceedingly, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.}

⁴`Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God [is] one Jehovah;

^{5 and thou hast loved Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might,}

^{6 and these words which I am commanding thee to-day have been on thine heart,}

^{7 and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,}

^{8 and hast bound them for a sign upon thy hand, and they have been for frontlets between thine eyes,}

^{9 and thou hast written them on door-posts of thy house, and on thy gates.}

^{10 `And it hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land which He hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to thee — cities great and good, which thou hast not built,}

¹¹and houses full of all good things which thou hast not filled, and wells digged which thou hast not digged, vineyards and olive-yards which thou hast not planted, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied;

^{12 `Take heed to thyself lest thou forget Jehovah who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;}

^{13 Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, and Him thou dost serve, and by His name thou dost swear;}

¹⁴ye do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about you;

¹⁵for a zealous God [is] Jehovah thy God in thy midst — lest the anger of Jehovah thy God burn against thee, and He hath destroyed thee from off the face of the ground.

¹⁶`Ye do not try Jehovah your God as ye tried in Massah;

^{17 ye do diligently keep the commands of Jehovah your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes which He hath commanded thee,}

^{18 and thou hast done that which is right and good in the eyes of Jehovah, so that it is well with thee, and thou hast gone in and possessed the good land which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers,}

^{19 to drive away all thine enemies from thy presence, as Jehovah hath spoken.}

^{20 `When thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?}

^{21 then thou hast said to thy son, Servants we have been to Pharaoh in Egypt, and Jehovah bringeth us out of Egypt by a high hand;}

^{22 and Jehovah giveth signs and wonders, great and sad, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;}

²³and us He hath brought out thence, in order to bring us in, to give to us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.

^{24 And Jehovah commandeth us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for good to ourselves all the days, to keep us alive, as [at] this day;}

^{25 and righteousness it is for us, when we observe to do all this command before Jehovah our God, as He hath commanded us. – Aslan International Ministry}

Then, therefore – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 19 Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge [him],

²and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did place [it] on his head, and a purple garment they put around him,

³and said, `Hail! the king of the Jews;’ and they were giving him slaps.

⁴Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and saith to them, `Lo, I do bring him to you without, that ye may know that in him I find no fault;’

⁵Jesus, therefore, came forth without, bearing the thorny crown and the purple garment; and he saith to them, `Lo, the man!’

⁶When, therefore, the chief priests and the officers did see him, they cried out, saying, `Crucify, crucify;’ Pilate saith to them, `Take ye him — ye, and crucify; for I find no fault in him;’

⁷the Jews answered him, `We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.’

⁸When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid,

⁹and entered again to the praetorium, and saith to Jesus, `Whence art thou?’ and Jesus gave him no answer.

^{10 Pilate, therefore, saith to him, `To me dost thou not speak? hast thou not known that I have authority to crucify thee, and I have authority to release thee?’}

¹¹Jesus answered, `Thou wouldst have no authority against me, if it were not having been given thee from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to thee hath greater sin.’

¹²From this [time] was Pilate seeking to release him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, `If this one thou mayest release, thou art not a friend of Caesar; every one making himself a king, doth speak against Caesar.’

¹³Pilate, therefore, having heard this word, brought Jesus without — and he sat down upon the tribunal — to a place called, `Pavement,’ and in Hebrew, Gabbatha;

¹⁴and it was the preparation of the passover, and as it were the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews, `Lo, your king!’

¹⁵and they cried out, `Take away, take away, crucify him;’ Pilate saith to them, `Your king shall I crucify?’ the chief priests answered, `We have no king except Caesar.’

¹⁶Then, therefore, he delivered him up to them, that he may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led [him] away,

¹⁷and bearing his cross, he went forth to the place called [Place] of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha;

¹⁸where they crucified him, and with him two others, on this side, and on that side, and Jesus in the midst.

¹⁹And Pilate also wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross, and it was written, `Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews;’

²⁰this title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because the place was nigh to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Roman.

²¹The chief priests of the Jews said, therefore, to Pilate, `Write not — The king of the Jews, but that one said, I am king of the Jews;’

²²Pilate answered, `What I have written, I have written.’

²³The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout,

^{24 they said, therefore, to one another, `We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;’ that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, `They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;’ the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things.}

²⁵And there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene;

²⁶Jesus, therefore, having seen [his] mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he was loving, he saith to his mother, `Woman, lo, thy son;’

²⁷afterward he saith to the disciple, `Lo, thy mother;’ and from that hour the disciple took her to his own [home].

²⁸After this, Jesus knowing that all things now have been finished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, saith, `I thirst;’

²⁹a vessel, therefore, was placed full of vinegar, and they having filled a sponge with vinegar, and having put [it] around a hyssop stalk, did put [it] to his mouth;

³⁰when, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, `It hath been finished;’ and having bowed the head, gave up the spirit.

³¹The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for that sabbath day was a great one,) asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they taken away.

³²The soldiers, therefore, came, and of the first indeed they did break the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him,

³³and having come to Jesus, when they saw him already having been dead, they did not break his legs;

³⁴but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water;

³⁵and he who hath seen hath testified, and his testimony is true, and that one hath known that true things he speaketh, that ye also may believe.

³⁶For these things came to pass, that the Writing may be fulfilled, `A bone of him shall not be broken;’

³⁷and again another Writing saith, `They shall look to him whom they did pierce.’

³⁸And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea — being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews — ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus,

³⁹and Nicodemus also came — who came unto Jesus by night at the first — bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, a hundred pounds.

⁴⁰They took, therefore, the body of Jesus, and bound it with linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial;

⁴¹and there was in the place where he was crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was yet laid;

⁴²there, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was nigh, they laid Jesus. – Aslan International Ministry

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, – ASLAN International Ministry

Revelation 21:1-421 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth did pass away, and the sea is not any more;2 and I, John, saw the holy city — new Jerusalem — coming down from God out of the heaven, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband;3 and I heard a great voice out of the heaven, saying, `Lo, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and He will tabernacle with them, and they shall be His peoples, and God Himself shall be with them — their God,4 and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and the death shall not be any more, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor shall there be any more pain, because the first things did go away.’

Thou shalt not swear falsely – ASLAN International Ministry

Matthew 5:33-3733 `Again, ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not swear falsely, but thou shalt pay to the Lord thine oaths;34 but I — I say to you, not to swear at all; neither by the heaven, because it is the throne of God,35 nor by the earth, because it is His footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because it is a city of a great king,36 nor by thy head mayest thou swear, because thou art not able one hair to make white or black;37 but let your word be, Yes, Yes, No, No, and that which is more than these is of the evil.

And there were going on with him great multitudes – ASLAN International Ministry

Luke 14:25-3525 And there were going on with him great multitudes, and having turned, he said unto them,26 `If any one doth come unto me, and doth not hate his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yet even his own life, he is not able to be my disciple;27 and whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, is not able to be my disciple.28 `For who of you, willing to build a tower, doth not first, having sat down, count the expense, whether he have the things for completing?29 lest that he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are beholding may begin to mock him,30 saying — This man began to build, and was not able to finish.31 `Or what king going on to engage with another king in war, doth not, having sat down, first consult if he be able with ten thousand to meet him who with twenty thousand is coming against him?32 and if not so — he being yet a long way off — having sent an embassy, he doth ask the things for peace.33 `So, then, every one of you who doth not take leave of all that he himself hath, is not able to be my disciple.34 `The salt [is] good, but if the salt doth become tasteless, with what shall it be seasoned?35 neither for land nor for manure is it fit — they cast it without. He who is having ears to hear — let him hear.’

`When Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – `When Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land whither thou art going in to possess it, and He hath cast out many nations from thy presence, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations more numerous and mighty than thou,

^{2 and Jehovah thy God hath given them before thee, and thou hast smitten them — thou dost utterly devote them — thou dost not make with them a covenant, nor dost thou favour them.}

^{3 `And thou dost not join in marriage with them; thy daughter thou dost not give to his son, and his daughter thou dost not take to thy son,}

^{4 for he doth turn aside thy son from after Me, and they have served other gods, and the anger of Jehovah hath burned against you, and hath destroyed thee hastily.}

^{5 `But thus thou dost to them: their altars ye break down, and their standing pillars ye shiver, and their shrines ye cut down, and their graven images ye burn with fire;}

⁶for a holy people [art] thou to Jehovah thy God; on thee hath Jehovah thy God fixed, to be to Him for a peculiar people, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground.

^{7 `Not because of your being more numerous than any of the peoples hath Jehovah delighted in you, and fixeth on you, for ye [are] the least of all the peoples,}

⁸but because of Jehovah’s loving you, and because of His keeping the oath which He hath sworn to your fathers, hath Jehovah brought you out by a strong hand, and doth ransom you from a house of servants, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

^{9 `And thou hast known that Jehovah thy God He [is] God, the faithful God, keeping the covenant, and the kindness, to those loving Him, and to those keeping His commands — to a thousand generations,}

¹⁰and repaying to those hating Him, unto their face, to destroy them; He delayeth not to him who is hating Him — unto his face, He repayeth to him —

¹¹and thou hast kept the command, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I am commanding thee to-day to do them.

¹²`And it hath been, because ye hear these judgments, and have kept, and done them, that Jehovah thy God hath kept to thee the covenant and the kindness which He hath sworn to thy fathers,

^{13 and hath loved thee, and blessed thee, and multiplied thee, and hath blessed the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil, the increase of thine oxen, and the wealth of thy flock, on the ground which He hath sworn to thy fathers to give to thee.}

¹⁴`Blessed art thou above all the peoples, there is not in thee a barren man or a barren woman — nor among your cattle;

¹⁵and Jehovah hath turned aside from thee every sickness, and none of the evil diseases of Egypt (which thou hast known) doth He put on thee, and He hath put them on all hating thee.

^{16 `And thou hast consumed all the peoples whom Jehovah thy God is giving to thee; thine eye hath no pity on them, and thou dost not serve their gods, for a snare it [is] to thee.}

^{17 `When thou sayest in thine heart, These nations [are] more numerous than I, how am I able to dispossess them? —}

^{18 thou art not afraid of them; thou dost surely remember that which Jehovah thy God hath done to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt,}

^{19 the great trials which thine eyes have seen, and the signs, and the wonders, and the strong hand, and the stretched-out arm, with which Jehovah thy God hath brought thee out; so doth Jehovah thy God to all the peoples of whose presence thou art afraid.}

²⁰`And also the locust doth Jehovah thy God send among them, till the destruction of those who are left, and of those who are hidden from thy presence;

²¹thou art not terrified by their presence, for Jehovah thy God [is] in thy midst, a God great and fearful.

^{22 `And Jehovah thy God hath cast out these nations from thy presence little [by] little, (thou art not able to consume them hastily, lest the beast of the field multiply against thee),}

²³and Jehovah thy God hath given them before thee, and destroyed them — a great destruction — till their destruction;

²⁴and He hath given their kings into thy hand, and thou hast destroyed their name from under the heavens; no man doth station himself in thy presence till thou hast destroyed them.

^{25 `The graven images of their gods ye do burn with fire; thou dost not desire the silver and gold on them, nor hast thou taken [it] to thyself, lest thou be snared by it, for the abomination of Jehovah thy God it [is];}

^{26 and thou dost not bring in an abomination unto thy house — or thou hast been devoted like it; — thou dost utterly detest it, and thou dost utterly abominate it; for it [is] devoted. – Aslan International Ministry}

`And now, Israel, hearken unto the statutes – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – `And now, Israel, hearken unto the statutes, and unto the judgments which I am teaching you to do, so that ye live, and have gone in, and possessed the land which Jehovah God of your fathers is giving to you.

^{2 Ye do not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor diminish from it, to keep the commands of Jehovah your God which I am commanding you.}

^{3 `Your eyes are seeing that which Jehovah hath done in Baal-Peor, for every man who hath gone after Baal-Peor, Jehovah thy God hath destroyed him from thy midst;}

⁴and ye who are cleaving to Jehovah your God, [are] alive, all of you, to-day.

^{5 `See, I have taught you statutes and judgments, as Jehovah my God hath commanded me — to do so, in the midst of the land whither ye are going in to possess it;}

⁶and ye have kept and done [them] (for it [is] your wisdom and your understanding) before the eyes of the peoples who hear all these statutes, and they have said, Only, a people wise and understanding [is] this great nation.

⁷`For which [is] the great nation that hath God near unto it, as Jehovah our God, in all we have called unto him?

⁸and which [is] the great nation which hath righteous statutes and judgments according to all this law which I am setting before you to-day?

^{9 `Only, take heed to thyself, and watch thy soul exceedingly, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they turn aside from thy heart, all days of thy life; and thou hast made them known to thy sons, and to thy sons’ sons.}

^{10 `The day when thou hast stood before Jehovah thy God in Horeb — in Jehovah’s saying unto me, Assemble to Me the people, and I cause them to hear My words, so that they learn to fear Me all the days that they are alive on the ground, and their sons they teach; —}

¹¹and ye draw near and stand under the mountain, and the mountain is burning with fire unto the heart of the heavens — darkness, cloud, yea, thick darkness:

^{12 `And Jehovah speaketh unto you out of the midst of the fire; a voice of words ye are hearing and a similitude ye are not seeing, only a voice;}

¹³and He declareth to you His covenant, which He hath commanded you to do, the Ten Matters, and He writeth them upon two tables of stone.

^{14 `And me hath Jehovah commanded at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, for your doing them in the land whither ye are passing over to possess it;}

¹⁵and ye have been very watchful of your souls, for ye have not seen any similitude in the day of Jehovah’s speaking unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire,

¹⁶lest ye do corruptly, and have made to you a graven image, a similitude of any figure, a form of male or female —

¹⁷a form of any beast which [is] in the earth — a form of any winged bird which flieth in the heavens —

¹⁸a form of any creeping thing on the ground — a form of any fish which [is] in the waters under the earth;

¹⁹`And lest thou lift up thine eyes towards the heavens, and hast seen the sun, and the moon, and the stars, all the host of the heavens, and thou hast been forced, and hast bowed thyself to them, and served them, which Jehovah thy God hath apportioned to all the peoples under the whole heavens.

²⁰`And you hath Jehovah taken, and He is bringing you out from the iron furnace, from Egypt, to be to Him for a people — an inheritance, as [at] this day.

^{21 `And Jehovah hath shewed himself wroth with me because of your words, and sweareth to my not passing over the Jordan, and to my not going in unto the good land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — an inheritance;}

²²for I am dying in this land; I am not passing over the Jordan, and ye are passing over, and have possessed this good land.

²³`Take heed to yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of Jehovah your God, which He hath made with you, and have made to yourselves a graven image, a similitude of anything [concerning] which Jehovah thy God hath charged thee:

^{24 for Jehovah thy God is a fire consuming — a zealous God.}

^{25 `When thou begettest sons and sons’ sons, and ye have become old in the land, and have done corruptly, and have made a graven image, a similitude of anything, and have done the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke Him to anger: —}

²⁶I have caused to testify against you this day the heavens and the earth, that ye do perish utterly hastily from off the land whither ye are passing over the Jordan to possess it; ye do not prolong days upon it, but are utterly destroyed;

²⁷and Jehovah hath scattered you among the peoples, and ye have been left few in number among the nations, whither Jehovah leadeth you,

²⁸and ye have served there gods, work of man’s hands, wood and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

^{29 `And — ye have sought from thence Jehovah thy God, and hast found, when thou seekest Him with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,}

³⁰in distress [being] to thee, and all these things have found thee, in the latter end of the days, and thou hast turned back unto Jehovah thy God, and hast hearkened to His voice;

³¹for a merciful God [is] Jehovah thy God; He doth not fail thee, nor destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers, which He hath sworn to them.

³²`For, ask, I pray thee, at the former days which have been before thee, from the day that God prepared man on the earth, and from the [one] end of the heavens even unto the [other] end of the heavens, whether there hath been as this great thing — or hath been heard like it?

³³Hath a people heard the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, thou — and doth live?

^{34 Or hath God tried to go in to take to Himself, a nation from the midst of a nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terrors — according to all that Jehovah your God hath done to you, in Egypt, before your eyes?}

³⁵Thou, thou hast been shewn [it], to know that Jehovah He [is] God; there is none else besides Him.

³⁶`From the heavens He hath caused thee to hear His voice, to instruct thee, and on earth He hath shewed thee His great fire, and His words thou hast heard out of the midst of the fire.

³⁷`And because that He hath loved thy fathers, He doth also fix on their seed after them, and doth bring thee out, in His presence, by His great power, from Egypt:

³⁸to dispossess nations greater and stronger than thou, from thy presence, to bring thee in to give to thee their land — an inheritance, as [at] this day.

³⁹`And thou hast known to-day, and hast turned [it] back unto thy heart, that Jehovah He [is] God, in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath — there is none else;

⁴⁰and thou hast kept His statutes and His commands which I am commanding thee to-day, so that it is well to thee, and to thy sons after thee, and so that thou prolongest days on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — all the days.’

⁴¹Then Moses separateth three cities beyond the Jordan, towards the sun-rising,

⁴²for the fleeing thither of the man-slayer, who slayeth his neighbour unknowingly, and he is not hating him heretofore, and he hath fled unto one of these cities, and he hath lived:

⁴³Bezer, in the wilderness, in the land of the plain, of the Reubenite; and Ramoth, in Gilead, of the Gadite; and Golan, in Bashan, of the Manassahite.

⁴⁴And this [is] the law which Moses hath set before the sons of Israel;

⁴⁵these [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses hath spoken unto the sons of Israel, in their coming out of Egypt,

^{46 beyond the Jordan, in the valley over-against Beth-Peor, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorite, who is dwelling in Heshbon, whom Moses and the sons of Israel have smitten, in their coming out of Egypt,}

⁴⁷and they possess his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorite who [are] beyond the Jordan, [towards] the sun-rising;

⁴⁸from Aroer, which [is] by the edge of the brook Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which [is] Hermon —

⁴⁹and all the plain beyond the Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah. – Aslan International Ministry

²that thou hast taken of the first of all the fruits of the ground which thou dost bring in out of thy land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, and hast put [it] in a basket, and gone unto the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle there.

^{3 `And thou hast come in unto the priest who is in those days, and hast said unto him, I have declared to-day to Jehovah thy God, that I have come in unto the land which Jehovah hath sworn to our fathers to give to us;}

^{4 and the priest hath taken the basket out of thy hand, and placed it before the altar of Jehovah thy God.}

^{5 `And thou hast answered and said before Jehovah thy God, A perishing Aramaean [is] my father! and he goeth down to Egypt, and sojourneth there with few men, and becometh there a nation, great, mighty, and numerous;}

⁶and the Egyptians do us evil, and afflict us, and put on us hard service;

^{7 and we cry unto Jehovah, God of our fathers, and Jehovah heareth our voice, and seeth our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression;}

⁸and Jehovah bringeth us out from Egypt, by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great fear, and by signs, and by wonders,

⁹and he bringeth us in unto this place, and giveth to us this land — a land flowing with milk and honey.

^{10 `And now, lo, I have brought in the first of the fruits of the ground which thou hast given to me, O Jehovah; — and thou hast placed it before Jehovah thy God, and bowed thyself before Jehovah thy God,}

^{11 and rejoiced in all the good which Jehovah thy God hath given to thee, and to thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the sojourner who [is] in thy midst.}

^{13 and thou hast said before Jehovah thy God, I have put away the separated thing out of the house, and also have given it to the Levite, and to the sojourner, and to the orphan, and to the widow, according to all Thy command which Thou hast commanded me; I have not passed over from Thy commands, nor have I forgotten.}

^{14 I have not eaten in mine affliction of it, nor have I put away of it for uncleanness, nor have I given of it for the dead; I have hearkened to the voice of Jehovah my God; I have done according to all that Thou hast commanded me;}

^{15 look from Thy holy habitation, from the heavens, and bless Thy people Israel, and the ground which Thou hast given to us, as Thou hast sworn to our fathers — a land flowing [with] milk and honey.}

^{16 `This day Jehovah thy God is commanding thee to do these statutes and judgments; and thou hast hearkened and done them with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,}

^{17 Jehovah thou hast caused to promise to-day to become thy God, and to walk in His ways, and to keep His statutes, and His commands, and His judgments, and to hearken to His voice.}

^{18 `And Jehovah hath caused thee to promise to-day to become His people, a peculiar treasure, as He hath spoken to thee, and to keep all His commands;}

^{19 so as to make thee uppermost above all the nations whom He hath made for a praise, and for a name, and for beauty, and for thy being a holy people to Jehovah thy God, as He hath spoken. – Aslan International Ministry}
