4: But youH0859 the ones clingingH1695 to YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 [are] aliveH2416 every one of youH3605 today.H3117

5: Surely,H7200 I have taughtH3925 youH0853 statutesH2706 and judgments,H4941 just asH0834 commanded meH6680 YahwehH3068 my GodH0430 that you should actH6213 according [to them]H3651 inH7130 the landH0776 whichH0834 youH0859 goH0935 thereH8033 to possess.H3423

7: ForH3588 who [is]H4310 the nationH1471 great,H1419 thatH0834 GodH0430 [so] nearH7138 to itH0413 as YahwehH3068 our God [is] to usH0430 for whatever [reason]H3605 we may callH7121 upon Him.H0413

8: And who [is]H4310 the nationH1471 great,H1419 thatH0834 [such] statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 righteousH6662 as are in allH3605 law,H8451 thisH2063 whichH0834 IH0595 setH5414 before youH6440 this day?H3117

9: onlyH7535 take heedH8104 and keepH8104 yourselfH5315 diligently,H3966 lestH6435 you forgetH7911 -H0853 the thingsH1697 thatH0834 have seen,H7200 your eyesH5869 and lestH6435 they departH5493 from your heartH3824 allH3605 the daysH3117 of your life-H2416 and teach themH3045 to your children,H1121 andH1121 your grandchildren-H1121

10: [especially concerning] the dayH3117 thatH0834 you stoodH5975 beforeH6440 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 in Horeb,H2722 when saidH0559 YahwehH3068 to meH0413 GatherH6950 -H0853 the peopleH5971 and I will let them hearH8085 -H0853 My words,H1697 thatH0834 they may learnH3925 to fearH3372 MeH0853 allH3605 the daysH3117 thatH0834 theyH1992 liveH2416 onH5921 the earth,H0127 and [that]H0853 their childrenH1121 they may teach.H3925

11: And you came nearH7126 and stoodH5975 at the footH8478 of the mountain-H2022 and the mountainH2022 burnedH1197 with fireH0784 toH5704 the midstH3820 of heaven,H8064 with darknessH2822 cloud,H6051 and thick darkness,H6205

12: and spokeH1696 YahwehH3068 to youH0413 out of the midstH8432 of the fire-H0784 the soundH6963 of the words,H1697 YouH0859 heardH8085 but form-H8544 noH0369 sawH7200 onlyH2108 [you heard] a voice.H6963

13: So He declaredH5046 -H0853 His covenant,H1285 whichH0834 He commandedH6680 youH0853 to perform,H6213 TenH6235 the Commandments-H1697 and He wrote themH3789 onH5921 twoH8147 tabletsH3871 of stone.H0068

14: And meH0853 commandedH6680 YahwehH3068 at timeH6256 thatH1931 to teachH3925 youH0853 statutesH2706 and judgments,H4941 that you might observeH6213 themH0853 in the landH0776 whichH0834 youH0859 cross overH5674 thereH8033 to possess.H3423

15: And take heedH8104 carefulH3966 to yourselves-H5315 forH3588 notH3808 you sawH7200 anyH3605 formH8544 whenH3117 spokeH1696 YahwehH3068 to youH0413 at HorebH2722 out of the midstH8432 of the fire,H0784

16: lestH6435 you act corruptlyH7843 and makeH6213 a carved image in,H6459 the formH8544 of anyH3605 figure,H5566 the likenessH8403 of maleH2145 orH0176 female,H5347

17: the likenessH8403 of anyH3605 animalH0929 that [is]H0834 on the earth,H0776 or the likenessH8403 of anyH3605 birdH6833 wingedH3671 thatH0834 fliesH5774 in the air,H8064

18: the likenessH8403 of anythingH3605 that creepsH7430 on the ground,H0127 or the likenessH8403 of anyH3605 fishH1710 that [is]H0834 in the waterH4325 beneathH8478 the earth.H0776

19: And [take heed] lestH6435 you liftH5375 your eyesH5869 to heaven,H8064 and [when] you seeH7200 -H0853 the sun,H8121 andH0853 the moon,H3394 andH0853 the stars,H3556 allH3605 the hostH6635 of heaven,H8064 and you feel drivenH5080 and to worshipH7812 and serve themH5647 whichH0834 has given as a heritageH2505 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 -H0853 to allH3605 the peoplesH5971 underH8478 wholeH3605 the heaven.H8064

20: But youH0853 has takenH3947 YahwehH3068 and broughtH3318 youH0853 out of furnace,H3564 the ironH1270 out of EgyptH4714 to beH1961 His peopleH5971 an inheritance,H5159 as you are dayH3117 this.H2088

21: Furthermore YahwehH3068 was angryH0599 forH5921 your sakes,H1697 and sworeH7650 that notH1115 I would cross overH5674 -H0853 the Jordan,H3383 that notH1115 I would enterH0935 intoH0413 the land,H0776 goodH2896 whichH0834 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 is givingH5414 as an inheritance.H5159

22: ButH3588 IH0595 must dieH4191 in land,H0776 thisH2063 I notH0369 must cross overH5674 -H0853 the Jordan,H3383 but youH0859 shall cross over,H5674 and possessH3423 -H0853 landH0776 goodH2896 this.H2063

23: Take heedH8104 lestH6435 you forgetH7911 -H0853 the covenantH1285 of YahwehH3068 your God,H0430 whichH0834 He madeH3772 with youH5973 and makeH6213 a carved image,H6459 in the formH8544 of anythingH3605 whichH0834 has forbidden youH6680 YahwehH3068 your God.H0430

24: ForH3588 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 a fire,H0784 consumingH0398 isH1931 a GodH0410 jealous.H7067

25: WhenH3588 you begetH3205 children,H1121 andH1121 grandchildren,H1121 and have grown oldH3462 in the land,H0776 and act corruptlyH7843 and makeH6213 a carved image,H6459 in the formH8544 of anythingH3605 and doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of YahwehH3068 your God,H0430 to provoke Him to anger-H3707

26: I call to witnessH5749 this day,H3117 -H0853 heavenH8064 andH0853 earthH0776 thatH3588 utterlyH0006 you will perishH0006 soonH4118 fromH5921 the landH0776 whichH0834 youH0859 cross overH5674 -H0853 the JordanH3383 thereH8033 to possessH3423 notH3808 you will prolongH0748 [your] daysH3117 in itH5921 butH3588 utterlyH8045 will be destroyed.H8045

27: And will scatterH6327 YahwehH3068 youH0853 among the peoples,H5971 and you will be leftH7604 fewH4962 in numberH4557 among the nations,H1471 whereH0834 will driveH5090 YahwehH3068 youH0853 there.H8033

28: And you will serveH5647 thereH8033 gods,H0430 the workH4639 of hands,H3027 of menH0120 woodH6086 and stone,H0068 whichH0834 neitherH3808 see,H7200 norH3808 hear,H8085 norH3808 eat,H0398 norH3808 smell.H7306

29: But you will seekH1245 from thereH8033 -H0853 YahwehH3068 your God,H0430 and you will find [Him]H4672 ifH3588 you seek HimH1875 with allH3605 your heartH3824 and with allH3605 your soul.H5315

30: When in distress,H6862 and come upon youH4672 allH3605 thingsH1697 theseH0428 in latterH0319 the days,H3117 and when you turnH7725 toH5704 YahwehH3068 your God,H0430 and obeyH8085 His voice-H6963

31: forH3588 a God [is]H0410 mercifulH7349 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 notH3808 He will forsake youH7503 norH3808 destroy youH7843 norH3808 forgetH7911 -H0853 the covenantH1285 of your fathersH0001 whichH0834 He sworeH7650

32: ForH3588 askH7592 nowH4994 concerning the daysH3117 that are past,H7223 whichH0834 wereH1961 before youH6440 sinceH4480 the dayH3117 thatH0834 createdH1254 GodH0430 manH0120 onH5921 the earth,H0776 and from one endH7097 of heavenH8064 and toH5704 the otherH7097 of the heavensH8064 [ask] whether has happenedH1961 like [any thing]H1697 greatH1419 thisH2088 orH0176 has been heardH8085 [anything] like it?H3644

33: did [ever] hearH8085 [any] peopleH5971 the voiceH6963 of GodH0430 speakingH1696 out of the midstH8432 of the fire,H0784 asH0834 have heard,H8085 youH0859 and live?H2421

34: OrH0176 did [ever] tryH5254 GodH0430 to goH0935 [and] takeH3947 a nationH1471 from the midstH7130 of [another] nation,H1471 by trials,H4531 by signs,H0226 and by wonders,H4159 and by war,H4421 and by a hand,H3027 mightyH2389 and an arm,H2220 outstretchedH5186 and by terrors,H4172 greatH1419 according to allH3605 thatH0834 didH6213 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 in EgyptH4714 before your eyes?H5869

35: to youH0859 it was shown,H7200 that you might knowH3045 thatH3588 YahwehH3068 HeH1931 [is] God-H0430 [there is] noneH0369 otherH5750 besides Him.H0905

36: OutH4480 of heavenH8064 He let you hearH8085 -H0853 His voice,H6963 that He might instruct youH3256 and onH5921 earthH0776 He showed youH7200 -H0853 His fire-H0784 greatH1419 and His wordsH1697 you heardH8085 out of the midstH8432 of the fire.H0784

37: AndH8478 becauseH3588 He lovedH0157 -H0853 your fathers,H0001 therefore He choseH0977 their descendantsH2233 after themH0310 and He brought you outH3318 with His PresenceH6440 with His powerH3581 mightyH1419 of Egypt.H4714

38: Driving outH3423 nationsH1471 greaterH1419 and mightierH6099 than youH4480 from before youH6440 to bring you in,H0935 to giveH5414 -H0853 their landH0776 [as] an inheritance,H5159 as [it is] dayH3117 this.H2088

39: Therefore knowH3045 this day,H3117 and consider [it]H7725 inH0413 your heart,H3824 thatH3588 YahwehH3068 HeH1931 [is] GodH0430 in heavenH8064 above,H4605 and onH5921 the earthH0776 beneath-H8478 [there is] noH0369 other.H5750

40: Therefore You shall keepH8104 -H0853 His statutes,H2706 andH0853 His commandments,H4687 whichH0834 IH0595 command youH6680 today,H3117 thatH0834 it may go wellH3190 and with your childrenH1121 after youH0310 thatH4616 you may prolongH0748 [your] daysH3117 inH5921 the land,H0127 whichH0834 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 is givingH5414 allH3605 time.H3117

41: ThenH0227 set apartH0914 MosesH4872 threeH7969 citiesH5892 on this sideH5676 of the JordanH3383 toward the risingH4217 of the sun-H8121

42: that might fleeH5127 there,H8033 the manslayerH7523 whoH0834 killsH7523 -H0853 his neighborH7453 notH1097 knowing,H1847 and heH1931 withoutH3808 having hatedH8130 inH8543 time pastH8032 that by fleeingH5127 toH0413 oneH0259 of-H4480 citiesH5892 theseH0411 and might live-H2425
