4:1 Now therefore hearken 8085 8798, O Israel 3478, unto the statutes 2706 and unto the judgments 4941, which I teach 3925 8764 you, for to do 6213 8800 [them], that ye may live 2421 8799, and go in 935 8804 and possess 3423 8804 the land 776 which the LORD 3068 God 430 of your fathers 1 giveth 5414 8802 you.

4:2 Ye shall not add 3254 8686 unto the word 1697 which I command 6680 8764 you, neither shall ye diminish 1639 8799 [ought] from it, that ye may keep 8104 8800 the commandments 4687 of the LORD 3068 your God 430 which I command 6680 8764 you.

4:3 Your eyes 5869 have seen 7200 8802 what the LORD 3068 did 6213 8804 because of Baalpeor 1187: for all the men 376 that followed 310 1980 8804 Baalpeor 1187, the LORD 3068 thy God 430 hath destroyed 8045 8689 them from among 7130 you.

4:4 But ye that did cleave 1695 unto the LORD 3068 your God 430 [are] alive 2416 every one of you this day 3117.

4:5 Behold 7200 8798, I have taught 3925 8765 you statutes 2706 and judgments 4941, even as 834 the LORD 3068 my God 430 commanded 6680 8765 me, that ye should do 6213 8800 so in 7130 the land 776 whither ye go 935 8802 to possess 3423 8800 it.

4:6 Keep 8104 8804 therefore and do 6213 8804 [them]; for this [is] your wisdom 2451 and your understanding 998 in the sight 5869 of the nations 5971, which shall hear 8085 8799 all these statutes 2706, and say 559 8804, Surely this great 1419 nation 1471 [is] a wise 2450 and understanding 995 8737 people 5971.

4:7 For what nation 1471 [is there so] great 1419, who [hath] God 430 [so] nigh 7138 unto them, as the LORD 3068 our God 430 [is] in all [things that] we call 7121 8800 upon him [for]?

4:8 And what nation 1471 [is there so] great 1419, that hath statutes 2706 and judgments 4941 [so] righteous 6662 as all this law 8451, which I set 5414 8802 before 6440 you this day 3117?

4:9 Only take heed 8104 8734 to thyself, and keep 8104 8798 thy soul 5315 diligently 3966, lest thou forget 7911 8799 the things 1697 which thine eyes 5869 have seen 7200 8804, and lest they depart 5493 8799 from thy heart 3824 all the days 3117 of thy life 2416: but teach 3045 8689 them thy sons 1121, and thy sons' 1121 sons 1121;

4:10 [Specially] the day 3117 that thou stoodest 5975 8804 before 6440 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 in Horeb 2722, when the LORD 3068 said 559 8800 unto me, Gather 6950 0 me the people 5971 together 6950 8685, and I will make them hear 8085 8686 my words 1697, that they may learn 3925 8799 to fear 3372 8800 me all the days 3117 that they shall live 2416 upon the earth 127, and [that] they may teach 3925 8762 their children 1121.

4:11 And ye came near 7126 8799 and stood 5975 8799 under the mountain 2022; and the mountain 2022 burned 1197 8802 with fire 784 unto the midst 3820 of heaven 8064, with darkness 6205, clouds 6051, and thick darkness 2822.(midst: Heb. heart)

4:12 And the LORD 3068 spake 1696 8762 unto you out of the midst 8432 of the fire 784: ye heard 8085 8802 the voice 6963 of the words 1697, but saw 7200 8802 no similitude 8544; only 2108 [ye heard] a voice 6963.(only…: Heb. save a voice)

4:13 And he declared 5046 8686 unto you his covenant 1285, which he commanded 6680 8765 you to perform 6213 8800, [even] ten 6235 commandments 1697; and he wrote 3789 8799 them upon two 8147 tables 3871 of stone 68.

4:14 And the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 8765 me at that time 6256 to teach 3925 8763 you statutes 2706 and judgments 4941, that ye might do 6213 8800 them in the land 776 whither ye go over 5674 8802 to possess 3423 8800 it.

4:15 Take ye therefore good 3966 heed 8104 8738 unto yourselves 5315; for ye saw 7200 8804 no manner of similitude 8544 on the day 3117 [that] the LORD 3068 spake 1696 8763 unto you in Horeb 2722 out of the midst 8432 of the fire 784:

4:16 Lest ye corrupt 7843 8686 [yourselves], and make 6213 8804 you a graven image 6459, the similitude 8544 of any figure 5566, the likeness 8403 of male 2145 or female 5347,

4:17 The likeness 8403 of any beast 929 that [is] on the earth 776, the likeness 8403 of any winged 3671 fowl 6833 that flieth 5774 8799 in the air 8064,

4:18 The likeness 8403 of any thing that creepeth 7430 8802 on the ground 127, the likeness 8403 of any fish 1710 that [is] in the waters 4325 beneath 8478 the earth 776:

4:19 And lest thou lift up 5375 8799 thine eyes 5869 unto heaven 8064, and when thou seest 7200 8804 the sun 8121, and the moon 3394, and the stars 3556, [even] all the host 6635 of heaven 8064, shouldest be driven 5080 8738 to worship 7812 8694 them, and serve 5647 8804 them, which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 hath divided 2505 8804 unto all nations 5971 under the whole heaven 8064.(divided: or, imparted)

4:20 But the LORD 3068 hath taken 3947 8804 you, and brought you forth 3318 8686 out of the iron 1270 furnace 3564, [even] out of Egypt 4714, to be unto him a people 5971 of inheritance 5159, as [ye are] this day 3117.

4:21 Furthermore the LORD 3068 was angry 599 8694 with me for your sakes 1697, and sware 7650 8735 that I should not go over 5674 8800 Jordan 3383, and that I should not go 935 8800 in unto that good 2896 land 776, which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 giveth 5414 8802 thee [for] an inheritance 5159:

4:22 But I must die 4191 8801 in this land 776, I must not go over 5674 8802 Jordan 3383: but ye shall go over 5674 8802, and possess 3423 8804 that good 2896 land 776.

4:23 Take heed 8104 8734 unto yourselves, lest ye forget 7911 8799 the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, which he made 3772 8804 with you, and make 6213 8804 you a graven image 6459, [or] the likeness 8544 of any 3605 [thing], which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 hath forbidden 6680 8765 thee.

4:24 For the LORD 3068 thy God 430 [is] a consuming 398 8802 fire 784, [even] a jealous 7067 God 410.

4:25 When thou shalt beget 3205 8686 children 1121, and children's 1121 children 1121, and ye shall have remained long 3462 8738 in the land 776, and shall corrupt 7843 8689 [yourselves], and make 6213 8804 a graven image 6459, [or] the likeness 8544 of any [thing], and shall do 6213 8804 evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068 thy God 430, to provoke him to anger 3707 8687:

4:26 I call 5749 0 heaven 8064 and earth 776 to witness 5749 8689 against you this day 3117, that ye shall soon 4118 utterly 6 8800 perish 6 8799 from off the land 776 whereunto ye go over 5674 8802 Jordan 3383 to possess 3423 8800 it; ye shall not prolong 748 8686 [your] days 3117 upon it, but shall utterly 8045 8736 be destroyed 8045 8735.

4:27 And the LORD 3068 shall scatter 6327 8689 you among the nations 5971, and ye shall be left 7604 8738 few 4962 in number 4557 among the heathen 1471, whither the LORD 3068 shall lead 5090 8762 you.

4:28 And there ye shall serve 5647 8804 gods 430, the work 4639 of men's 120 hands 3027, wood 6086 and stone 68, which neither see 7200 8799, nor hear 8085 8799, nor eat 398 8799, nor smell 7306 8686.

4:29 But if from thence thou shalt seek 1245 8765 the LORD 3068 thy God 430, thou shalt find 4672 8804 [him], if thou seek 1875 8799 him with all thy heart 3824 and with all thy soul 5315.

4:30 When thou art in tribulation 6862, and all these things 1697 are come 4672 8804 upon thee, [even] in the latter 319 days 3117, if thou turn 7725 8804 to the LORD 3068 thy God 430, and shalt be obedient 8085 8804 unto his voice 6963;(are…: Heb. have found thee)

4:31 (For the LORD 3068 thy God 430 [is] a merciful 7349 God 410;) he will not forsake 7503 8686 thee, neither destroy 7843 8686 thee, nor forget 7911 8799 the covenant 1285 of thy fathers 1 which he sware 7650 8738 unto them.

4:32 For ask 7592 8798 now of the days 3117 that are past 7223, which were 1961 8738 before 6440 thee, since the day 3117 that God 430 created 1254 8804 man 120 upon the earth 776, and [ask] from the one side 7097 of heaven 8064 unto the other, whether there hath been [any such thing] as this great 1419 thing 1697 [is], or hath been heard 8085 8738 like it?

4:33 Did [ever] people 5971 hear 8085 8804 the voice 6963 of God 430 speaking out 1696 8764 of the midst 8432 of the fire 784, as thou hast heard 8085 8804, and live 2421 8799?

4:34 Or hath God 430 assayed 5254 8765 to go 935 8800 [and] take 3947 8800 him a nation 1471 from the midst 7130 of [another] nation 1471, by temptations 4531, by signs 226, and by wonders 4159, and by war 4421, and by a mighty 2389 hand 3027, and by a stretched out 5186 8803 arm 2220, and by great 1419 terrors 4172, according to all that the LORD 3068 your God 430 did 6213 8804 for you in Egypt 4714 before your eyes 5869?

4:35 Unto thee it was shewed 7200 8717, that thou mightest know 3045 8800 that the LORD 3068 he [is] God 430; [there is] none else 5750 beside him 905.

4:36 Out of heaven 8064 he made thee to hear 8085 8689 his voice 6963, that he might instruct 3256 8763 thee: and upon earth 776 he shewed 7200 8689 thee his great 1419 fire 784; and thou heardest 8085 8804 his words 1697 out of the midst 8432 of the fire 784.

4:37 And because he loved 157 8804 thy fathers 1, therefore he chose 977 8799 their seed 2233 after 310 them, and brought thee out 3318 8686 in his sight 6440 with his mighty 1419 power 3581 out of Egypt 4714;

4:38 To drive out 3423 8687 nations 1471 from before 6440 thee greater 1419 and mightier 6099 than thou [art], to bring 935 8687 thee in, to give 5414 8800 thee their land 776 [for] an inheritance 5159, as [it is] this day 3117.

4:39 Know 3045 8804 therefore this day 3117, and consider 7725 8689 [it] in thine heart 3824, that the LORD 3068 he [is] God 430 in heaven 8064 above 4605, and upon the earth 776 beneath: [there is] none else.

4:40 Thou shalt keep 8104 8804 therefore his statutes 2706, and his commandments 4687, which I command 6680 8764 thee this day 3117, that it may go well 3190 8799 with thee, and with thy children 1121 after 310 thee, and that thou mayest prolong 748 8686 [thy] days 3117 upon the earth 127, which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 giveth 5414 8802 thee, for ever.

4:41 Then Moses 4872 severed 914 8686 three 7969 cities 5892 on this side 5676 Jordan 3383 toward the sunrising 8121 4217;

4:42 That the slayer 7523 8802 might flee 5127 8800 thither, which should kill 7523 8799 his neighbour 7453 unawares 1097 1847, and hated 8130 8802 him not in times 8543 past 8032; and that fleeing 5127 8804 unto one 259 of these 411 cities 5892 he might live 2425 8804:

4:43 [Namely], Bezer 1221 in the wilderness 4057, in the plain 4334 country 776, of the Reubenites 7206; and Ramoth 7216 in Gilead 1568, of the Gadites 1425; and Golan 1474 in Bashan 1316, of the Manassites 4520.

4:44 And this [is] the law 8451 which Moses 4872 set 7760 8804 before 6440 the children 1121 of Israel 3478:

4:45 These [are] the testimonies 5713, and the statutes 2706, and the judgments 4941, which Moses 4872 spake 1696 8765 unto the children 1121 of Israel 3478, after they came forth 3318 8800 out of Egypt 4714,

4:46 On this side 5676 Jordan 3383, in the valley 1516 over against 4136 Bethpeor 1047, in the land 776 of Sihon 5511 king 4428 of the Amorites 567, who dwelt 3427 8802 at Heshbon 2809, whom Moses 4872 and the children 1121 of Israel 3478 smote 5221 8689, after they were come forth 3318 8800 out of Egypt 4714:

4:47 And they possessed 3423 8799 his land 776, and the land 776 of Og 5747 king 4428 of Bashan 1316, two 8147 kings 4428 of the Amorites 567, which [were] on this side 5676 Jordan 3383 toward the sunrising 4217 8121;

4:48 From Aroer 6177, which [is] by the bank 8193 of the river 5158 Arnon 769, even unto mount 2022 Sion 7865, which [is] Hermon 2768,

4:49 And all the plain 6160 on this side 5676 Jordan 3383 eastward 4217, even unto the sea 3220 of the plain 6160, under the springs 794 of Pisgah 6449.
