05:021:019 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, andbring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gateof his place;
05:021:020 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our sonis stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he isa glutton, and a drunkard.
05:021:021 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, thathe die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and allIsrael shall hear, and fear.
05:021:022 And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:
05:021:023 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
05:022:001 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.
05:022:002 And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know himnot, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and itshall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thoushalt restore it to him again.
05:022:003 In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thoudo with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's,which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou dolikewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.
05:022:004 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down bythe way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely helphim to lift them up again.
05:022:005 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man,neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that doso are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
05:022:006 If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:
05:022:007 But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the youngto thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayestprolong thy days.
05:022:008 When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make abattlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thinehouse, if any man fall from thence.
05:022:009 Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest thefruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thyvineyard, be defiled.
05:022:010 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
05:022:011 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollenand linen together.
05:022:012 Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thyvesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.
05:022:013 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,
05:022:014 And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evilname upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came toher, I found her not a maid:
05:022:015 Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take andbring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto theelders of the city in the gate:
05:022:016 And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
05:022:017 And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
05:022:018 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
05:022:019 And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
05:022:020 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:
05:022:021 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
05:022:022 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.
05:022:023 If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
05:022:024 Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
05:022:025 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die.
05:022:026 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:
05:022:027 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.
05:022:028 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
05:022:029 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
05:022:030 A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover hisfather's skirt.
05:023:001 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cutoff, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
05:023:002 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD;even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into thecongregation of the LORD.
05:023:003 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregationof the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they notenter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
05:023:004 Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
05:023:005 Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.
05:023:006 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
05:023:007 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.
05:023:008 The children that are begotten of them shall enter into thecongregation of the LORD in their third generation.
05:023:009 When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keepthee from every wicked thing.
05:023:010 If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason ofuncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he goabroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
05:023:011 But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash himselfwith water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into thecamp again.
05:023:012 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
05:023:013 And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
05:023:014 For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
05:023:015 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:
05:023:016 He shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.
05:023:017 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
05:023:018 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
05:023:019 Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:
05:023:020 Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
05:023:021 When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
05:023:022 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
05:023:023 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
05:023:024 When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, then thoumayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thoushalt not put any in thy vessel.
05:023:025 When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, thenthou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt notmove a sickle unto thy neighbour's standing corn.
05:024:001 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
05:024:002 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
05:024:003 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill ofdivorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out ofhis house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to behis wife;
05:024:004 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take heragain to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that isabomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the landto sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
05:024:005 When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war,neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall befree at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which hehath taken.
05:024:006 No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh a man's life to pledge.
05:024:007 If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the childrenof Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; thenthat thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from amongyou.
05:024:008 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observediligently, and do according to all that the priests theLevites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shallobserve to do.
05:024:009 Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the way,after that ye were come forth out of Egypt.
05:024:010 When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not gointo his house to fetch his pledge.
05:024:011 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lendshall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
05:024:012 And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:
05:024:013 In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the LORD thy God.
05:024:014 Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates:
05:024:015 At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee.
05:024:016 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
05:024:017 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:
05:024:018 But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
05:024:019 When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.
05:024:020 When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over theboughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for thefatherless, and for the widow.
05:024:021 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt notglean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for thefatherless, and for the widow.
05:024:022 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
05:025:001 If there be a controversy between men, and they come untojudgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shalljustify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.
05:025:002 And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten,that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beatenbefore his face, according to his fault, by a certain number.
05:025:003 Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if heshould exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes,then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.
05:025:004 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn.
05:025:005 If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her.
05:025:006 And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel.
05:025:007 And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then let his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband's brother.
05:025:008 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand to it, and say, I like not to take her;
05:025:009 Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house.
05:025:010 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe loosed.
05:025:011 When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:
05:025:012 Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pityher.
05:025:013 Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and asmall.
05:025:014 Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a greatand a small.
05:025:015 But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
05:025:016 For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously,are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
05:025:017 Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye werecome forth out of Egypt;
05:025:018 How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God.
05:025:019 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it.
05:026:001 And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein;
05:026:002 That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there.
05:026:003 And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that I am come unto the country which the LORD sware unto our fathers for to give us.
05:026:004 And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God.
05:026:005 And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:
05:026:006 And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:
05:026:007 And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORDheard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour,and our oppression:
05:026:008 And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand,and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, andwith signs, and with wonders:
05:026:009 And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey.
05:026:010 And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land,which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set itbefore the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God:
05:026:011 And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the LORD thyGod hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and theLevite, and the stranger that is among you.
05:026:012 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;
05:026:013 Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them.
05:026:014 I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.
05:026:015 Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
05:026:016 This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
05:026:017 Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:
05:026:018 And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiarpeople, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keepall his commandments;
05:026:019 And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, inpraise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be anholy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.
05:027:001 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people,saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you thisday.
05:027:002 And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan untothe land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shaltset thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister:
05:027:003 And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee.
05:027:004 Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that yeshall set up these stones, which I command you this day, inmount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister.
05:027:005 And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, analtar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool uponthem.
05:027:006 Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of wholestones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto theLORD thy God:
05:027:007 And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, andrejoice before the LORD thy God.
05:027:008 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this lawvery plainly.
05:027:009 And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel,saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou artbecome the people of the LORD thy God.
05:027:010 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, anddo his commandments and his statutes, which I command theethis day.
05:027:011 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,
05:027:012 These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:
05:027:013 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad,and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
05:027:014 And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men ofIsrael with a loud voice,
05:027:015 Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.
05:027:016 Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother.And all the people shall say, Amen.
05:027:017 Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's landmark. And allthe people shall say, Amen.
05:027:018 Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way.And all the people shall say, Amen.
05:027:019 Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger,fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.
05:027:020 Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; because he uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen.
05:027:021 Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen.
05:027:022 Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.
05:027:023 Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. And all thepeople shall say, Amen.
05:027:024 Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all thepeople shall say, Amen.
05:027:025 Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person.And all the people shall say, Amen.
05:027:026 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law todo them. And all the people shall say, Amen.
05:028:001 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
05:028:002 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee,if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
05:028:003 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou bein the field.
05:028:004 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
05:028:005 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
05:028:006 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
05:028:007 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
05:028:008 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
05:028:009 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.
05:028:010 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.
05:028:011 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruitof thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruitof thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thyfathers to give thee.
05:028:012 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven togive the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless allthe work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations,and thou shalt not borrow.
05:028:013 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; andthou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; ifthat thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God,which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
05:028:014 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
05:028:015 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
05:028:016 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
05:028:017 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
05:028:018 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thyland, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
05:028:019 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shaltthou be when thou goest out.
05:028:020 The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
05:028:021 The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.
05:028:022 The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
05:028:023 And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and theearth that is under thee shall be iron.
05:028:024 The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: fromheaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
05:028:025 The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
05:028:026 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.
05:028:027 The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
05:028:028 The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:
05:028:029 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth indarkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thoushalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shallsave thee.
05:028:030 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her:thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein:thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapesthereof.
05:028:031 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.
05:028:032 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people,and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them allthe day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand.
05:028:033 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nationwhich thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be onlyoppressed and crushed alway:
05:028:034 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
05:028:035 The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.
05:028:036 The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.
05:028:037 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and abyword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
05:028:038 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shaltgather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.
05:028:039 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neitherdrink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shalleat them.
05:028:040 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, butthou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine oliveshall cast his fruit.
05:028:041 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.
05:028:042 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
05:028:043 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee veryhigh; and thou shalt come down very low.
05:028:044 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: heshall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
05:028:045 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:
05:028:046 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, andupon thy seed for ever.
05:028:047 Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness,and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
05:028:048 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
05:028:049 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;
05:028:050 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:
05:028:051 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
05:028:052 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
05:028:053 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh ofthy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hathgiven thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewiththine enemies shall distress thee:
05:028:054 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate,his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wifeof his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which heshall leave:
05:028:055 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of hischildren whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left himin the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemiesshall distress thee in all thy gates.
05:028:056 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would notadventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground fordelicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward thehusband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward herdaughter,
05:028:057 And toward her young one that cometh out from between herfeet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for sheshall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siegeand straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee inthy gates.
05:028:058 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law thatare written in this book, that thou mayest fear this gloriousand fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;
05:028:059 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plaguesof thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, andsore sicknesses, and of long continuance.
05:028:060 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
05:028:061 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written inthe book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee,until thou be destroyed.
05:028:062 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as thestars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obeythe voice of the LORD thy God.
05:028:063 And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
05:028:064 And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the oneend of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shaltserve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers haveknown, even wood and stone.
05:028:065 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shallthe sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give theethere a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow ofmind:
05:028:066 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:
05:028:067 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and ateven thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fearof thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight ofthine eyes which thou shalt see.
05:028:068 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, bythe way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no moreagain: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies forbondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
05:029:001 These are the words of the covenant, which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
05:029:002 And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;
05:029:003 The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs,and those great miracles:
05:029:004 Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyesto see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
05:029:005 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.
05:029:006 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God.
05:029:007 And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon,and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle,and we smote them:
05:029:008 And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance untothe Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe ofManasseh.
05:029:009 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
05:029:010 Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,
05:029:011 Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:
05:029:012 That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day:
05:029:013 That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
05:029:014 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
05:029:015 But with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:
05:029:016 (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and howwe came through the nations which ye passed by;
05:029:017 And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood andstone, silver and gold, which were among them:)
05:029:018 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, ortribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD ourGod, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest thereshould be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;
05:029:019 And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse,that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall havepeace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to adddrunkenness to thirst:
05:029:020 The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORDand his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all thecurses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, andthe LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.
05:029:021 And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:
05:029:022 So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;
05:029:023 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
05:029:024 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
05:029:025 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:
05:029:026 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, godswhom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:
05:029:027 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, tobring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
05:029:028 And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and inwrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into anotherland, as it is this day.
05:029:029 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but thosethings which are revealed belong unto us and to our childrenfor ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
05:030:001 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,
05:030:002 And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey hisvoice according to all that I command thee this day, thou andthy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;
05:030:003 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and havecompassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from allthe nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
05:030:004 If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts ofheaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, andfrom thence will he fetch thee:
05:030:005 And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thyfathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will dothee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
05:030:006 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and theheart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thineheart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
05:030:007 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thineenemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.
05:030:008 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and doall his commandments which I command thee this day.
05:030:009 And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
05:030:010 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
05:030:011 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
05:030:012 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go upfor us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it,and do it?
05:030:013 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Whoshall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that wemay hear it, and do it?
05:030:014 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thyheart, that thou mayest do it.
05:030:015 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and deathand evil;
05:030:016 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
05:030:017 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
05:030:018 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, andthat ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whitherthou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
05:030:019 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that Ihave set before you life and death, blessing and cursing:therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
05:030:020 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
05:031:001 And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel.
05:031:002 And he said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
05:031:003 The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.
05:031:004 And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og,kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom hedestroyed.
05:031:005 And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye maydo unto them according unto all the commandments which I havecommanded you.
05:031:006 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid ofthem: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee;he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
05:031:007 And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the LORD hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.
05:031:008 And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will bewith thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fearnot, neither be dismayed.
05:031:009 And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the prieststhe sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of theLORD, and unto all the elders of Israel.
05:031:010 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every sevenyears, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feastof tabernacles,
05:031:011 When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God inthe place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this lawbefore all Israel in their hearing.
05:031:012 Gather the people together, men and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:
05:031:013 And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
05:031:014 And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.
05:031:015 And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.
05:031:016 And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep withthy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoringafter the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they goto be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenantwhich I have made with them.
05:031:017 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and Iwill forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and theyshall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befallthem; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evilscome upon us, because our God is not among us?
05:031:018 And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evilswhich they shall have wrought, in that they are turned untoother gods.
05:031:019 Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it thechildren of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song maybe a witness for me against the children of Israel.
05:031:020 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.
05:031:021 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.
05:031:022 Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.
05:031:023 And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee.
05:031:024 And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing thewords of this law in a book, until they were finished,
