And I besought the LORD at that
time, saying:
243
’O Lord GOD, you have begun to
show Your servant Your greatness,
and Your strong hand4; for what god
is there in heaven or on earth who
can do according to Your works, and
according to Your mighty acts?
255
Let me go over, I pray You, and see the
good land that is beyond the Jordan,
that goodly hill‐country, and
Lebanon6.’

But the LORD was wroth with me for
your sakes, and listened not unto me8;
and the LORD said unto me: ‘Let it
suffice you; speak no more unto Me
of this matter.
Get you up into the top of Pisgah10,
and lift up your eyes westward, and
northward, and southward, and
eastward, and behold with your eyes;
for you shall not go over this Jordan.
But charge Joshua, and encourage
him, and strengthen him; for he shall
go over before this people, and he
shall cause them to inherit the land
that you shall see.’
So we abode in the valley over
against Beth‐peor13.

hear My words that they may learn
to fear Me all the days that they live

And the LORD spoke unto you out of
the midst of the fire; you heard the
voice of words, but you saw no form;
only a voice.
And He declared unto you His
covenant, which He commanded you
to perform, even the ten words40; and
He wrote them upon two tables of
stone.
And the LORD commanded me at
that time to teach you statutes and
ordinances, that you might do them
in the land whither you go over42 to
possess it.
Take you therefore good heed unto
yourselves44— for you saw no
manner of form on the day that the
LORD spoke unto you in Horeb45 out
of the midst of the fire—

Lest you deal corruptly, and make
you a graven image, even the form of
any figure, the likeness of male or
female,
The likeness of any beast that is on
the earth, the likeness of any winged
fowl that flies in the heaven,
The likeness of any thing that creeps
on the ground, the likeness of any
fish that is in the water under the
earth;
And lest you lift up your eyes unto
heaven, and when you see the sun
and the moon and the stars, even all
the host of heaven50, you be drawn
away and worship them, and serve
them, which the LORD your God has
allotted unto all the peoples under
the whole heaven.
But the LORD has taken you and
brought you forth out of the iron
furnace, out of Egypt, to be unto Him
a people of inheritance, as you are52

and shall do that which is evil in the
sight of the LORD your God, to
provoke Him;
I call heaven and earth to witness
against you this day, that you shall
soon utterly perish from off the land
whereunto you go over the Jordan to
possess it; you shall not prolong your
days upon it, but shall utterly be
destroyed.
And the LORD shall scatter you
among the peoples64, and you shall be
left few in number among the
nations, where the LORD shall lead
you away.
And there you shall serve gods, the
work of men’s hands, wood and
stone, that neither see, nor hear, nor
eat, nor smell.
But from there you will seek the
LORD your God; and you shall find
Him, if you search after Him with all

In your distress69, when all these
things shall come upon you, in the
end of days, you will return to the
LORD your God, and hearken unto
His voice;
For the LORD your God is a merciful
God71; He will not fail you, neither
destroy you, nor forget the covenant
of your fathers which He swore unto
them.
For ask now of the days past, which
were before you, since the day that
God created man upon the earth, and
from the one end of heaven unto the
other, whether there has been any
such thing as this great thing is, or
has been heard like it?
Did ever a people hear the voice of
God speaking out of the midst of the
fire, as you74 have heard, and live?

Him a nation from the midst of
another nation, by trials, by signs,
and by wonders, and by war, and by
a mighty hand, and by an
outstretched arm76, and by great
terrors77, according to all that the
LORD your God did for you in Egypt
before your eyes?
Unto you it was shown, that you
mightiest know that the LORD, He is
God; there is none else beside Him.
Out of heaven He made you to hear
His voice, that He might instruct you;
and upon earth He made you to see
His great fire; and you did hear His
words out of the midst of the fire.
And because He loved your fathers,
and chose their seed after them, and
brought you out with His presence,
with His great power81, out of Egypt,

He destroy you from off the face of the
earth.
You shall not try the LORD your God,
as you tried Him in Massah189.
You shall diligently keep the
commandments of the LORD your
God, and His testimonies, and His
statutes, that He has commanded
you.
And you shall do that which is
right192 and good in the sight of the
LORD; that it may be well with you,
and that you may go in and possess
the good land which the LORD swore
unto your fathers,
To thrust194 out all your enemies
from before you, as the LORD has
spoken.
When your son asks you in time to
come, saying: ‘What mean the
testimonies, and the statutes, and the
ordinances, which the LORD our God
has commanded you196?
Then you shall say unto your son:
‘We were Pharaoh’s198 bondmen in

And He brought us out from there,
that He might bring us in, to give us
the land204 that He swore unto our
fathers.
And the LORD commanded us to do
all these statutes, to fear the LORD
our God, for our good always, that He
might preserve us alive, as it is at this

And it shall be righteousness207 unto
us, if we observe to do all this
commandment before the LORD our

He swore unto your fathers, has the
LORD brought you out with a mighty
hand, and redeemed you out of the
house of bondage, from the hand of
Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Know therefore that the LORD your
God, He is God; the faithful God, who
keeps covenant and mercy with them
that love Him and keep His
commandments to a thousand
generations;
And repays them who hate Him to
their face, to 224destroy them; He will
not be slack to him who hates Him,
He will repay him to his face.
You shall therefore keep the
commandment, and the statutes, and
