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}

At the end of seven years thou dost make a release – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – `At the end of seven years thou dost make a release,

²and this [is] the matter of the release: Every owner of a loan [is] to release his hand which he doth lift up against his neighbour, he doth not exact of his neighbour and of his brother, but hath proclaimed a release to Jehovah;

^{3 of the stranger thou mayest exact, and that which is thine with thy brother doth thy hand release;}

^{4 only when there is no needy one with thee, for Jehovah doth greatly bless thee in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — an inheritance to possess it.}

^{5 `Only, if thou dost diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all this command which I am commanding thee to-day,}

^{6 for Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee as He hath spoken to thee; and thou hast lent [to] many nations, and thou hast not borrowed; and thou hast ruled over many nations, and over thee they do not rule.}

^{7 `When there is with thee any needy one of one of thy brethren, in one of thy cities, in thy land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, thou dost not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy needy brother;}

⁸for thou dost certainly open thy hand to him, and dost certainly lend him sufficient for his lack which he lacketh.

^{9 `Take heed to thee lest there be a word in thy heart — worthless, saying, Near [is] the seventh year, the year of release; and thine eye is evil against thy needy brother, and thou dost not give to him, and he hath called concerning thee unto Jehovah, and it hath been in thee sin;}

^{10 thou dost certainly give to him, and thy heart is not sad in thy giving to him, for because of this thing doth Jehovah thy God bless thee in all thy works, and in every putting forth of thy hand;}

^{11 because the needy one doth not cease out of the land, therefore I am commanding thee, saying, Thou dost certainly open thy hand to thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy one, in thy land.}

^{12 `When thy brother is sold to thee, a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, and he hath served thee six years — then in the seventh year thou dost send him away free from thee.}

^{13 And when thou dost send him away free from thee, thou dost not send him away empty;}

^{14 thou dost certainly encircle him out of thy flock, and out of thy threshing-floor, and out of thy wine-vat; [of] that which Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee thou dost give to him,}

^{15 and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God doth ransom thee; therefore I am commanding thee this thing to-day.}

^{16 `And it hath been, when he saith unto thee, I go not out from thee — because he hath loved thee, and thy house, because [it is] good for him with thee —}

¹⁷then thou hast taken the awl, and hast put [it] through his ear, and through the door, and he hath been to thee a servant age-during; and also to thy handmaid thou dost do so.

^{18 `It is not hard in thine eyes, in thy sending him away free from thee; for the double of the hire of an hireling he hath served thee six years, and Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in all that thou dost.}

^{19 `Every firstling that is born in thy herd and in thy flock — the male thou dost sanctify to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not work with the firstling of thine ox, nor shear the firstling of thy flock;}

^{20 before Jehovah thy God thou dost eat it year by year, in the place which Jehovah doth choose, thou and thy house.}

^{21 `And when there is in it a blemish, lame, or blind, any evil blemish, thou dost not sacrifice it to Jehovah thy God;}

^{22 within thy gates thou dost eat it, the unclean and the clean alike, as the roe, and as the hart.}

^{23 Only, its blood thou dost not eat; on the earth thou dost pour it as water. – Aslan International Ministry}

If, then, ye were raised with the Christ, – ASLAN International Ministry

Colossians 3:1-113 If, then, ye were raised with the Christ, the things above seek ye, where the Christ is, on the right hand of God seated,2 the things above mind ye, not the things upon the earth,3 for ye did die, and your life hath been hid with the Christ in God;4 when the Christ — our life — may be manifested, then also we with him shall be manifested in glory.5 Put to death, then, your members that [are] upon the earth — whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the covetousness, which is idolatry –6 because of which things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,7 in which also ye — ye did walk once, when ye lived in them;8 but now put off, even ye, the whole — anger, wrath, malice, evil-speaking, filthy talking — out of your mouth.9 Lie not one to another, having put off the old man with his practices,10 and having put on the new, which is renewed in regard to knowledge, after the image of Him who did create him;11 where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, freeman — but the all and in all — Christ.

And he said, `A certain man had two sons – ASLAN International Ministry

Luke 15:11-3211 And he said, `A certain man had two sons,12 and the younger of them said to the father, Father, give me the portion of the substance falling to [me], and he divided to them the living.13 `And not many days after, having gathered all together, the younger son went abroad to a far country, and there he scattered his substance, living riotously;14 and he having spent all, there came a mighty famine on that country, and himself began to be in want;15 and having gone on, he joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him to the fields to feed swine,16 and he was desirous to fill his belly from the husks that the swine were eating, and no one was giving to him.17 `And having come to himself, he said, How many hirelings of my father have a superabundance of bread, and I here with hunger am perishing!18 having risen, I will go on unto my father, and will say to him, Father, I did sin — to the heaven, and before thee,19 and no more am I worthy to be called thy son; make me as one of thy hirelings.20 `And having risen, he went unto his own father, and he being yet far distant, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and having ran he fell upon his neck and kissed him;21 and the son said to him, Father, I did sin — to the heaven, and before thee, and no more am I worthy to be called thy son.22 `And the father said unto his servants, Bring forth the first robe, and clothe him, and give a ring for his hand, and sandals for the feet;23 and having brought the fatted calf, kill [it], and having eaten, we may be merry,24 because this my son was dead, and did live again, and he was lost, and was found; and they began to be merry.25 `And his elder son was in a field, and as, coming, he drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing,26 and having called near one of the young men, he was inquiring what these things might be,27 and he said to him — Thy brother is arrived, and thy father did kill the fatted calf, because in health he did receive him back.28 `And he was angry, and would not go in, therefore his father, having come forth, was entreating him;29 and he answering said to the father, Lo, so many years I do serve thee, and never thy command did I transgress, and to me thou didst never give a kid, that with my friends I might make merry;30 but when thy son — this one who did devour thy living with harlots — came, thou didst kill to him the fatted calf.31 `And he said to him, Child, thou art always with me, and all my things are thine;32 but to be merry, and to be glad, it was needful, because this thy brother was dead, and did live again, he was lost, and was found.’

Matthew 5:27-30 – ASLAN International Ministry

Matthew 5:27-3027 `Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not commit adultery;28 but I — I say to you, that every one who is looking on a woman to desire her, did already commit adultery with her in his heart.29 `But, if thy right eye doth cause thee to stumble, pluck it out and cast from thee, for it is good to thee that one of thy members may perish, and not thy whole body be cast to gehenna.30 `And, if thy right hand doth cause thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast from thee, for it is good to thee that one of thy members may perish, and not thy whole body be cast to gehenna.

`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

Aslan International Ministry – `These [are] the statutes and the judgments which ye observe to do in the land which Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath given to thee to possess it, all the days that ye are living on the ground:

²ye do utterly destroy all the places where the nations which ye are dispossessing served their gods, on the high mountains, and on the heights, and under every green tree;

^{3 and ye have broken down their altars, and shivered their standing pillars, and their shrines ye burn with fire, and graven images of their gods ye cut down, and have destroyed their name out of that place.}

⁴`Ye do not do so to Jehovah your God;

⁵but unto the place which Jehovah your God doth choose out of all your tribes to put His name there, to His tabernacle ye seek, and thou hast entered thither,

⁶and hast brought in thither your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and your vows, and your free-will offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock;

^{7 and ye have eaten there before Jehovah your God, and have rejoiced in every putting forth of your hand, ye and your households, with which Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee.}

⁸`Ye do not do according to all that we are doing here to-day, each anything that is right in his own eyes,

⁹for ye have not come in hitherto unto the rest, and unto the inheritance, which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee;

^{10 and ye have passed over the Jordan, and have dwelt in the land which Jehovah your God is causing you to inherit, and He hath given rest to you from all your enemies round about, and ye have dwelt confidently:}

¹¹`And it hath been, the place on which Jehovah your God doth fix to cause His name to tabernacle there, thither ye bring in all that which I am commanding you, your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and all the choice of your vows which ye vow to Jehovah;

¹²and ye have rejoiced before Jehovah your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your men-servants, and your handmaids, and the Levite who [is] within your gates, for he hath no part and inheritance with you.

¹³`Take heed to thee, lest thou cause thy burnt-offerings to ascend in any place which thou seest,

^{14 except in the place which Jehovah doth choose in one of thy tribes, there thou dost cause thy burnt-offerings to ascend, and there thou dost do all that which I am commanding thee.}

¹⁵`Only, with all the desire of thy soul thou dost sacrifice, and hast eaten flesh according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God which He hath given to thee, in all thy gates; the unclean and the clean do eat it, as of the roe, and as of the hart.

¹⁶`Only, the blood ye do not eat — on the earth thou dost pour it as water;

¹⁷thou art not able to eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, and of thy new wine, and thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock, and any of thy vows which thou vowest, and thy free-will offerings, and heave-offering of thy hand;

^{18 but before Jehovah thy God thou dost eat it, in the place which Jehovah thy God doth fix on, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite who [is] within thy gates, and thou hast rejoiced before Jehovah thy God in every putting forth of thy hand;}

¹⁹take heed to thee lest thou forsake the Levite all thy days on thy ground.

²⁰`When Jehovah thy God doth enlarge thy border, as He hath spoken to thee, and thou hast said, Let me eat flesh — for thy soul desireth to eat flesh — of all the desire of thy soul thou dost eat flesh.

^{21 `When the place is far from thee which Jehovah thy God doth choose to put His name there, then thou hast sacrificed of thy herd and of thy flock which Jehovah hath given to thee, as I have commanded thee, and hast eaten within thy gates, of all the desire of thy soul;}

^{22 only, as the roe and the hart is eaten, so dost thou eat it; the unclean and the clean doth alike eat it.}

²³`Only, be sure not to eat the blood, for the blood [is] the life, and thou dost not eat the life with the flesh;

²⁴thou dost not eat it, on the earth thou dost pour it as water;

^{25 thou dost not eat it, in order that it may be well with thee, and with thy sons after thee, when thou dost that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah.}

^{26 `Only, thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou dost take up, and hast gone in unto the place which Jehovah doth choose,}

^{27 and thou hast made thy burnt-offerings — the flesh and the blood — on the altar of Jehovah thy God; and the blood of thy sacrifices is poured out by the altar of Jehovah thy God, and the flesh thou dost eat.}

^{28 Observe, and thou hast obeyed all these words which I am commanding thee, in order that it may be well with thee and with thy sons after thee — to the age, when thou dost that which [is] good and right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.}

^{29 `When Jehovah thy God doth cut off the nations — whither thou art going in to possess them — from thy presence, and thou hast possessed them, and hast dwelt in their land —}

³⁰take heed to thee, lest thou be snared after them, after their being destroyed out of thy presence, and lest thou enquire about their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods, and I do so — even I?

^{31 `Thou dost not do so to Jehovah thy God; for every abomination of Jehovah which He is hating they have done to their gods, for even their sons and their daughters they burn with fire to their gods.}

³²The whole thing which I am commanding you — it ye observe to do; thou dost not add unto it, nor diminish from it. – Aslan International Ministry
