2 That thou mightest fear the. Lor D thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments which I command thee: thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life, and that thy days may be prolonged.

3 ^ Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the Lo R D God of»thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that flbweth with milk and honey.

8 And thou shalt hind them for sign upon thine hand, and they ilia be as frontlets between thine eyes.

9 And thou (halt wr:te them upon th posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

10 And it (hall be, when thcLoR D th God (hall have brought thee Into th land which he sware unto thy fathers to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, ti give thee, great and goodly cities, whicj thou buildedst not,

ri And houses full of all good things which thou filledft not. and wells dij*-. ged, which thou diggedst not, vineyard) and olive trees, which thouplantedit not, when thou (halt have eaten and be full j

11 Then beware lest thou forget the Lor D, which brought thee forth out ol the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

13 Thou (halt fear the Lor D thy God, and serve him, and (halt swear by hia name.

i+Ye (hall not go aster other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;

16 Ye (hall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.

18 And thou Ihalt do Mas which is righ t and good in the light of the Lo R D : that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in, and possess the good land which the Lo R D sware unto thy fathers,

19 To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the Lor D hatfy spoken.

20 And when thy son asketh thee in. time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgements, which the Lord our God hath commanded you?

21 Then thou (halt fay unto thy son, We were Pharaoh'? bondmen in Egypt; and the Lo R D brought us out of Egypt widi a mighty hand:

Io And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he wist not be slack to him that hateth him; he will repay him to his face.

An exhortation to obedience in regard of

God's dealing moith them.

ALL the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and polfefs the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers.

2 And thou stialtremember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what nxsas in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.

3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeded out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.

4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell these forty years.

5 Thou flialt also consider in thine heart, that as a man chasteneth his son, fa the Lord thy God chasteneth thee.

6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

• 7 Forthe Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, "of fountains, and depths that spring out os valleys and hills;

8 A land of wheat, and barley, and Vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates, a land of oil olive, and honey; . 9 A land wherein thou (halt eat bread •withoxit scarceness, thou (halt not lack smy thing in it; a land whose stones are

iron, and out of whose hills thou maj dig brass.

»o When thou hast eaten and art si then thou shalt bless the Lo R D thy G< for the good land which he hath gh thee.

11 Beware that thon forget not 1 Lo R D thy God, in not keeping his co mandments, and his judgements, and statutes, which I command thee this d;

12 Lest 'when thou hast eaten and full, and halt built goodly houses, a dwelt therein;

13 And ivhen thy herds and thy floe .multiply, and thy silver and thy gc is multiplied, and all that thou halt multiplied;

1+ Then thine heart be lifted up, a thou forget the Lo R D thy God, whi brought thee forth out of the land Egypt, from the house of bondage;

15 Who led thee through that great ai terrible wilderness, tvherein ivere fm serpents, and scorpions, and drougl where there ivas no water; who broug thee forth water out of the rock of flin

16 Who fed thee in the wilderne with manna, which thy fathers kn« not, that he might humble thee, ar that he might prove thee, to do tli good at thy latter end;

17 And thou fay in thine heart, K power and the might of mine hand ha gotten me this wealth.

1S But thou shalt remember the Lo R thy God: for it is he that giveth tin power to get wealth, that he may est: blim his covenant which he sware unl thy fathers, as it is this day.

19 And it shall be, if thou do at a forget the Lord thy God, and walk al ter other gods, and serve them, aud wol ship them, I testify against you this da that ye shall surely perish.'

»o As the nations which the Lor destroyeth before your face, so shall ) perish; because ye would not be ob< dient unto the voice of the Lord you God.

CHAP. IX. Moses difuadeth them from the otims

in% their several rebellions.

HEAR, O Israel: Thou art to_pal over Jordan this day, to go in t possess nations greater and mightier tha

thyself, cities great and fenced up t heaven,'

2 A people great and tall, the childra of the Anakims, whom thou knowdt and of ivhotn thou hast heard fay, "hi can stand before the children of APa«

isakHhud therefore this day, that tfeiup thy God is he which goeth cur joijre thee: at a consuming fire he ftd crSrey them, and he shall bring Srs iawn before thy face: so (halt thou 4-r«tnrmout, and destroy them quickly, æ the Lo R. D hath (aid unto thee.

f ipak not tlvou in thine heart, afar that the Lo R D thy God hath cast thrai oiit from before thee, saying, For isyrijbteousiiefsthe Lo R Dhath brought ee in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord doth drive them out from before thee. 5 Not for thy righteousness, or for Ti: ttpriebrnese of thine heart dost thou goto-podess their land: but forthewickedsai ot these nations the Lord thy Gad doth drive them out from before tfeee, and that he may perform the word *iueh the Lord sware unto thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

SUodfrÆand therefore, that the Lo R D thy God p'veth thee not this good land so prfess it for thy righteousness: for tfeoy art a stitfnecked people.

7Rtmember, and forget not, how thou troTokedst the Lor r> thy God to wrath In the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of £grpt, until ye came unto this place, ye km !ieen rebellious against the Lord. ! Also in Horeb ye provoked the Lord t'iwrarb, so that the Lord was angry "i&yoti to have destroyed you.

9 Wits I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of tie covenant which the Lord made with you, then I abode in the Boont forty days and forty nights, I twther did 'eat bread nor drink waters io And the Lor D delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the injtr of God 5 and on them tuas written Mns-ding to all the words which the L01.D spake with you in the mount out cf tie midst of the sire, io the day of the Mfeibly.

11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the Lo*d gave me the two tables of stone, tva the tables of the covenant. la And the Lord said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence: tet thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themffoei; they are quickly turned aside out rf tae way which I commanded them; twy have made them a molten image. «1 Furthermore the Lo R D spake unto «*, bring, I have seen/ iis people, and, ^Sold, it it a stiffnecked people 1

14. Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.

15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with Tire; and the two tables of the covenant ivere in my two hands.

16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the Lor D had commanded you.

17 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.

18 And I fell down before the Lord as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread nor drink water, because "of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the fight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.

19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure wherewith the Lo a D was wroth against you to destroy you. But the Lo R D hearkened unto me at that time also.

20 And the Lord was very angry with A*ron to have deftroyedhim. And I prayed for Aaron also the fame time.

21 And I took your fin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, «»</ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.

22 And at Taberah, and at Mastah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked the Lo ft D to wrath.

1% Likewise when the Lor D sent yon from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given youj then ye rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.

24 Ye have been rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you.

15 Thus I fell down before the Lo ?. D forty days and forty nights, as I fejl down at the first; because the Lord had said he would destroy you.

16 I prayed therefore unto the Lo R D , and said, O Lor D God, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thv greatneis, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

"27 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: look not.unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, ttor to their liu s

M lS Lest The tables renewed.

28 Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out lay, Because the Lord was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to (lay them in the wilderness.

29 Yet they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thymighty power, and by thy stretched out arm.

AT that time the Lord said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood,

z And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakedst, and thou ihalt put them in the ark.

3 And I made an ark o/'sliittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand.

4 And he wrote on the tables according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the Lo R D spake unto you in the mount, out of the midst os the fire, in the day of the assembly: and the Lord gave them unto me.

5 And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the Lord commanded me.

6 And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mofera: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's ostice in his stead.

7 Krom thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.

8 At that time the Lord separated the tribe of Ltvi, to bear the ark os the covenant of the Lord, to (land before the Lord to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.

9 Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren: the Lord jihii inheritance, according as the I. Or D thy God promised him.

10 And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights: and the Lord hearkened unto me ;it that time also, sl»./the Lor D would not destroy thee.

11 And the Lord said unto me, Arise, take tin iourney before the people, that they m.iy go in and possess the
