1AND now, Israel, listen to the statutes and laws which I am about to teach you; obey them, so that you may live and go in to occupy the land which the LORD the God of your forefathers is giving you.

2You must not add anything to the charge I decree or take anything away from it; you must carry out the commandments of the LORD your God which I lay upon you.

3You saw for yourselves what the LORD did at Baal-peor; the LORD your God destroyed from among you everyone who went over to the Baal of Peor,

4but you who held fast to the LORD your God are all alive today.

5I have taught you statutes and laws, as the LORD my God commanded me; see that you keep them when you go into and occupy the land.

6Observe them carefully, for thereby you will display your wisdom and understanding to other peoples. When they hear about all these statutes, they will say, “What a wise and understanding people this great nation is!”

7What great nation has a god close at hand as the LORD our God is close to us whenever we call to him?

8What great nation is there whose statutes and laws are so just, as is all this code of laws which I am setting before you today?

9But take care: keep careful watch on yourselves so that you do not forget the things that you have seen with your own eyes; do not let them pass from your minds as long as you live, but teach them to your children and to your children's children.

10You must never forget the day when you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, and the LORD said to me, “Assemble the people for me; I shall make them hear my words and they will learn to fear me all their lives in the land, and they will teach their children to do so.”

11Then you came near and stood at the foot of the mountain, which was ablaze with fire to the very skies, and there was dark cloud and thick mist.

12When the LORD spoke to you from the heart of the fire you heard a voice speaking, but you saw no form; there was only a voice.

13He announced to you the terms of his covenant, bidding you observe the Ten Commandments, which he wrote on two stone tablets.

14At the same time the LORD charged me to teach you statutes and laws which you should observe in the land into which you are about to cross to occupy it.

15On the day when the LORD spoke to you from the heart of the fire at Horeb, you saw no form of any kind; so take good care

16not to fall into the infamous practice of making for yourselves carved images in the form of any statue of a man or woman,

17or of any animal on earth or bird that flies in the air,

18or of anything that creeps on the ground or of any fish in the waters under the earth.

19Nor must you raise your eyes to the heavens and look up to the sun, the moon, and the stars, all the host of heaven, and be led astray to bow down to them in worship; the LORD your God assigned these for all the peoples everywhere under heaven.

20But you are the people whom the LORD brought out of Egypt, from the smelting furnace, and took for his own possession, as you are to this day.

21The LORD was angry with me on your account and solemnly swore that I should not cross the Jordan or enter the good land which the LORD your God is about to give you as your holding.

22I myself am to die in this country; I shall not cross the Jordan, but you are about to cross and occupy that good land.

23Take care that you do not forget the covenant which the LORD your God made with you; do not make for yourselves a carved image in any form; the LORD your God has forbidden it.

24For the LORD your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.

25When you have children and grandchildren and have grown old in the land, if you then fall into the infamous practice of making carved images in any form, doing what is wrong in the eyes of the LORD your God and provoking him to anger,

26I summon heaven and earth to witness against you this day: you will soon perish from upon the land which you are to occupy after crossing the Jordan. You will not enjoy long life in it; you will be swept away.

27The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations to which the LORD will lead you.

28There you will serve gods made by human hands out of wood and stone, gods that can neither see nor hear, eat nor smell.

29But should you from there seek the LORD your God, you will find him, if it is with all your heart and soul that you search.

30When you are in distress and all those things happen to you, you will in days to come turn back to the LORD your God and obey him.

31The LORD your God is a merciful God; he will never fail you or destroy you; he will not forget the covenant with your forefathers which he guaranteed by oath.

32Search into days gone by, long before your time, beginning at the day when God created man on earth; search from one end of heaven to the other, and ask if any deed as mighty as this has been seen or heard.

33Did any people ever hear the voice of a god speaking from the heart of the fire, as you heard it, and remain alive?

34Or did a god ever attempt to come and take a nation for himself away from another nation, with a challenge, and with signs, portents, and wars, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and with great deeds of terror, like all you saw the LORD your God do for you in Egypt?

35You have had sure proof that the LORD is God; there is none other.

36From heaven he let you hear his voice for your instruction, and on earth he let you see his great fire, and from the heart of the fire you heard his words.

37Because he loved your fathers and chose their children after them, he in his own person brought you out of Egypt by his great strength,

38so that he might drive out before you nations greater and more powerful than you and bring you in to give you their land in possession, as it is to this day.

39Be sure to bear in mind this day that the LORD is God in heaven above and on earth below; there is none other.

40You must keep his statutes and his commands which I give you today; so all will be well with you and with your children after you, and you will enjoy long life in the land which the LORD your God is giving you for all time.

41Then Moses set apart three cities in the east beyond the Jordan

42to be places of refuge for the homicide who kills someone without malice aforethought. If he took sanctuary in one of these cities his life would be safe.

43The cities were: Bezer-in-the-wilderness on the tableland for the Reubenites, Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan for the Manassites.

44This is the code of laws which Moses laid down for the Israelites.

45These are the precepts, the statutes, and the laws which Moses proclaimed to the Israelites, when they had come out of Egypt

46and were beyond the Jordan in the valley opposite Beth-peor in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites who lived in Heshbon. Moses and the Israelites had defeated him when they came out of Egypt

47and had occupied his territory and the territory of King Og of Bashan, the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan.

48The territory ran from Aroer on the wadi of the Arnon to Mount Sirion, that is Hermon;

49it included all the Arabah beyond the Jordan, as far as the sea of the Arabah below the watershed of Pisgah.
