| [1]And these are the commands, and the ordinances, and the judgments, as many as the Lord our God gave commandment to teach you to do so in the land on which ye enter to inherit it. |
[1]These now are the commandments, ordinances, and laws, which the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it: |
| [2]That ye may fear the Lord your God, keep ye all his ordinances, and his commandments, which I command thee to-day, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, all the days of thy life, that ye may live many days. |
[2]That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, and keep all his ordinances, and his commandments which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy sons' son all the days of thy life, even that thy days may be prolonged. |
| [3]Hear, therefore, O Israel, and observe to do them, that it may be well with thee, and that ye may be greatly multiplied, as the Lord God of thy fathers said that he would give thee a land flowing with milk and honey: and these are the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord commanded the children of Israel in the wilderness, when they had gone forth from the land of Egypt. |
[3]Hear therefore, O Israel, and take heed to do it, that it may go well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily in the land that floweth with milk and honey, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee. |
| [4]Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord. |
[4]Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is Lord only, |
| [5]And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind, and with all thy soul, and all thy strength. |
[5]And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. |
| [6]And these words, all that I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart and in thy soul. |
[6]And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart. |
| [7]And thou shalt teach them to thy children, and thou shalt speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up. |
[7]And thou shalt rehearse them continually unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou tarriest in thine house, and as thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up: |
| [8]And thou shalt fasten them for a sign upon thy hand, and it shall be immoveable before thine eyes. |
[8]And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. |
| [9]And ye shall write them on the lintels of your houses and of your gates. |
[9]Also thou shalt write them upon the posts of thine house, and upon thy gates. |
| [10]And it shall come to pass when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware to thy fathers, to Abraam, and to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and beautiful cities which thou didst not build, |
[10]And when the Lord thy God hath brought thee into the land, which he swear unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give to thee, with great and goodly cities which thou buildest not, |
| [11]houses full of all good things which thou didst not fill, wells dug in the rock which thou didst not dig, vineyards and oliveyards which thou didst not plant, then having eaten and been filled, |
[11]And houses full of all manner of goods which thou fillest not, and wells digged which thou diggest not, vineyards and olive trees which thou plantest not, and when thou hast eaten and art full, |
| [12]beware lest thou forget the Lord thy God that brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. |
[12]Beware lest thou forget the Lord, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. |
| [13]Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve; and thou shalt cleave to him, and by his name thou shalt swear. |
[13]Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name. |
| [14]Go ye not after other gods of the gods of the nations round about you; |
[14]Ye shall not walk after other gods, after any of the gods of the people which are round about you, |
| [15]for the Lord thy God in the midst of thee is a jealous God, lest the Lord thy God be very angry with thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth. |
[15](For the Lord thy God is a jealous God among you:) lest the wrath of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from the face of the earth. |
| [16]Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God, as ye tempted him in the temptation. |
[16]Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye did tempt him in Massah: |
| [17]Thou shalt by all means keep the commands of the Lord thy God, the testimonies, and the ordinances, which he commanded thee. |
[17]But ye shall keep diligently the commandments of the Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his ordinances which he hath commanded thee, |
| [18]And thou shalt do that which is pleasing and good before the Lord thy God, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and inherit the good land, which the Lord sware to your fathers, |
[18]And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the Lord: that thou mayest prosper, and that thou mayest go in, and possess that good land which the Lord swear unto thy fathers, |
| [19]to chase all thine enemies from before thy face, as the Lord said. |
[19]To cast out all thine enemies before thee, as the Lord hath said. |
| [20]And it shall come to pass when thy son shall ask thee at a future time, saying, What are the testimonies, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord our God has commanded us? |
[20]When thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, What mean these testimonies, and ordinances, and laws, which the Lord our God hath commanded you? |
| [21]Then shalt thou say to thy son, We were slaves to Pharao in the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought us forth thence with a mighty hand, and with a high arm. |
[21]Then shalt thou say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt: but the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. |
| [22]And the Lord wrought signs and great and grievous wonders in Egypt, on Pharao and on his house before us. |
[22]And the Lord showed signs and wonders great and evil upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes, |
| [23]And he brought us out thence to give us this land, which he sware to give to our fathers. |
[23]And brought us out from thence, to bring us in, and to give us the land which he swear unto our fathers. |
| [24]And the Lord charged us to observe all these ordinances; to fear the Lord our God, that it may be well with us for ever, that we may live, as even to-day. |
[24]Therefore the Lord hath commanded us, to do all these ordinances, and to fear the Lord our God, that it may go ever well with us, and that he may preserve us alive as at this present. |
| [25]And there shall be mercy to us, if we take heed to keep all these commands before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us. |
[25]Moreover, this shall be our righteousness before the Lord our God, if we take heed to keep all these commandments, as he hath commanded us. |
