Deuteronomy Chapter 4 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Now therefore hearken, <H8085> O Israel, <H3478> unto the statutes <H2706> and unto the judgments, <H4941> which I teach <H3925> you, for to do <H6213> [them], that ye may live, <H2421> and go in <H0935> and possess <H3423> the land <H0776> which the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of your fathers <H0001> giveth <H5414> you.
2: Ye shall not add <H3254> unto the word <H1697> which I command <H6680> you, neither shall ye diminish <H1639> [ought] from it, that ye may keep <H8104> the commandments <H4687> of the LORD <H3068> your God <H0430> which I command <H6680> you.
3: Your eyes <H5869> have seen <H7200> what the LORD <H3068> did <H6213> because of Baalpeor: <H1187> for all the men <H0376> that followed <H0310> <H1980> Baalpeor, <H1187> the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> hath destroyed <H8045> them from among <H7130> you.
4: But ye that did cleave <H1695> unto the LORD <H3068> your God <H0430> [are] alive <H2416> every one of you this day. <H3117>
5: Behold, <H7200> I have taught <H3925> you statutes <H2706> and judgments, <H4941> even as <H0834> the LORD <H3068> my God <H0430> commanded <H6680> me, that ye should do <H6213> so in <H7130> the land <H0776> whither ye go <H0935> to possess <H3423> it.
6: Keep <H8104> therefore and do <H6213> [them]; for this [is] your wisdom <H2451> and your understanding <H0998> in the sight <H5869> of the nations, <H5971> which shall hear <H8085> all these statutes, <H2706> and say, <H0559> Surely this great <H1419> nation <H1471> [is] a wise <H2450> and understanding <H0995> people. <H5971>
7: For what nation <H1471> [is there so] great, <H1419> who [hath] God <H0430> [so] nigh <H7138> unto them, as the LORD <H3068> our God <H0430> [is] in all [things that] we call <H7121> upon him [for]?
8: And what nation <H1471> [is there so] great, <H1419> that hath statutes <H2706> and judgments <H4941> [so] righteous <H6662> as all this law, <H8451> which I set <H5414> before <H6440> you this day? <H3117>
9: Only take heed <H8104> to thyself, and keep <H8104> thy soul <H5315> diligently, <H3966> lest thou forget <H7911> the things <H1697> which thine eyes <H5869> have seen, <H7200> and lest they depart <H5493> from thy heart <H3824> all the days <H3117> of thy life: <H2416> but teach <H3045> them thy sons, <H1121> and thy sons' <H1121> sons; <H1121>
10: [Specially] the day <H3117> that thou stoodest <H5975> before <H6440> the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> in Horeb, <H2722> when the LORD <H3068> said <H0559> unto me, Gather me the people <H5971> together, <H6950> and I will make them hear <H8085> my words, <H1697> that they may learn <H3925> to fear <H3372> me all the days <H3117> that they shall live <H2416> upon the earth, <H0127> and [that] they may teach <H3925> their children. <H1121>
11: And ye came near <H7126> and stood <H5975> under the mountain; <H2022> and the mountain <H2022> burned <H1197> with fire <H0784> unto the midst <H3820> of heaven, <H8064> with darkness, <H2822> clouds, <H6051> and thick darkness. <H6205>
12: And the LORD <H3068> spake <H1696> unto you out of the midst <H8432> of the fire: <H0784> ye heard <H8085> the voice <H6963> of the words, <H1697> but saw <H7200> no similitude; <H8544> only <H2108> [ye heard] a voice. <H6963>
13: And he declared <H5046> unto you his covenant, <H1285> which he commanded <H6680> you to perform, <H6213> [even] ten <H6235> commandments; <H1697> and he wrote <H3789> them upon two <H8147> tables <H3871> of stone. <H0068>
14: And the LORD <H3068> commanded <H6680> me at that time <H6256> to teach <H3925> you statutes <H2706> and judgments, <H4941> that ye might do <H6213> them in the land <H0776> whither ye go over <H5674> to possess <H3423> it.
15: Take ye therefore good <H3966> heed <H8104> unto yourselves; <H5315> for ye saw <H7200> no manner of similitude <H8544> on the day <H3117> [that] the LORD <H3068> spake <H1696> unto you in Horeb <H2722> out of the midst <H8432> of the fire: <H0784>
16: Lest ye corrupt <H7843> [yourselves], and make <H6213> you a graven image, <H6459> the similitude <H8544> of any figure, <H5566> the likeness <H8403> of male <H2145> or female, <H5347>
17: The likeness <H8403> of any beast <H0929> that [is] on the earth, <H0776> the likeness <H8403> of any winged <H3671> fowl <H6833> that flieth <H5774> in the air, <H8064>
18: The likeness <H8403> of any thing that creepeth <H7430> on the ground, <H0127> the likeness <H8403> of any fish <H1710> that [is] in the waters <H4325> beneath <H8478> the earth: <H0776>
19: And lest thou lift up <H5375> thine eyes <H5869> unto heaven, <H8064> and when thou seest <H7200> the sun, <H8121> and the moon, <H3394> and the stars, <H3556> [even] all the host <H6635> of heaven, <H8064> shouldest be driven <H5080> to worship <H7812> them, and serve <H5647> them, which the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> hath divided <H2505> unto all nations <H5971> under the whole heaven. <H8064>
20: But the LORD <H3068> hath taken <H3947> you, and brought you forth <H3318> out of the iron <H1270> furnace, <H3564> [even] out of Egypt, <H4714> to be unto him a people <H5971> of inheritance, <H5159> as [ye are] this day. <H3117>
21: Furthermore the LORD <H3068> was angry <H0599> with me for your sakes, <H1697> and sware <H7650> that I should not go over <H5674> Jordan, <H3383> and that I should not go in <H0935> unto that good <H2896> land, <H0776> which the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> giveth <H5414> thee [for] an inheritance: <H5159>
22: But I must die <H4191> in this land, <H0776> I must not go over <H5674> Jordan: <H3383> but ye shall go over, <H5674> and possess <H3423> that good <H2896> land. <H0776>
23: Take heed <H8104> unto yourselves, lest ye forget <H7911> the covenant <H1285> of the LORD <H3068> your God, <H0430> which he made <H3772> with you, and make <H6213> you a graven image, <H6459> [or] the likeness <H8544> of any <H3605> [thing], which the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> hath forbidden <H6680> thee.
24: For the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> [is] a consuming <H0398> fire, <H0784> [even] a jealous <H7067> God. <H0410>
25: When thou shalt beget <H3205> children, <H1121> and children's <H1121> children, <H1121> and ye shall have remained long <H3462> in the land, <H0776> and shall corrupt <H7843> [yourselves], and make <H6213> a graven image, <H6459> [or] the likeness <H8544> of any [thing], and shall do <H6213> evil <H7451> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD <H3068> thy God, <H0430> to provoke him to anger: <H3707>
26: I call heaven <H8064> and earth <H0776> to witness <H5749> against you this day, <H3117> that ye shall soon <H4118> utterly <H0006> perish <H0006> from off the land <H0776> whereunto ye go over <H5674> Jordan <H3383> to possess <H3423> it; ye shall not prolong <H0748> [your] days <H3117> upon it, but shall utterly <H8045> be destroyed. <H8045>
27: And the LORD <H3068> shall scatter <H6327> you among the nations, <H5971> and ye shall be left <H7604> few <H4962> in number <H4557> among the heathen, <H1471> whither the LORD <H3068> shall lead <H5090> you.
28: And there ye shall serve <H5647> gods, <H0430> the work <H4639> of men's <H0120> hands, <H3027> wood <H6086> and stone, <H0068> which neither see, <H7200> nor hear, <H8085> nor eat, <H0398> nor smell. <H7306>
29: But if from thence thou shalt seek <H1245> the LORD <H3068> thy God, <H0430> thou shalt find <H4672> [him], if thou seek <H1875> him with all thy heart <H3824> and with all thy soul. <H5315>
30: When thou art in tribulation, <H6862> and all these things <H1697> are come upon <H4672> thee, [even] in the latter <H0319> days, <H3117> if thou turn <H7725> to the LORD <H3068> thy God, <H0430> and shalt be obedient <H8085> unto his voice; <H6963>
31: (For the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> [is] a merciful <H7349> God;) <H0410> he will not forsake <H7503> thee, neither destroy <H7843> thee, nor forget <H7911> the covenant <H1285> of thy fathers <H0001> which he sware <H7650> unto them.
32: For ask <H7592> now of the days <H3117> that are past, <H7223> which were before <H6440> thee, since the day <H3117> that God <H0430> created <H1254> man <H0120> upon the earth, <H0776> and [ask] from the one side <H7097> of heaven <H8064> unto the other, <H7097> <H8064> whether there hath been <H1961> [any such thing] as this great <H1419> thing <H1697> [is], or hath been heard <H8085> like it?
33: Did [ever] people <H5971> hear <H8085> the voice <H6963> of God <H0430> speaking <H1696> out of the midst <H8432> of the fire, <H0784> as thou hast heard, <H8085> and live? <H2421>
34: Or hath God <H0430> assayed <H5254> to go <H0935> [and] take <H3947> him a nation <H1471> from the midst <H7130> of [another] nation, <H1471> by temptations, <H4531> by signs, <H0226> and by wonders, <H4159> and by war, <H4421> and by a mighty <H2389> hand, <H3027> and by a stretched out <H5186> arm, <H2220> and by great <H1419> terrors, <H4172> according to all that the LORD <H3068> your God <H0430> did <H6213> for you in Egypt <H4714> before your eyes? <H5869>
35: Unto thee it was shewed, <H7200> that thou mightest know <H3045> that the LORD <H3068> he [is] God; <H0430> [there is] none else <H5750> beside him. <H0905>
36: Out of heaven <H8064> he made thee to hear <H8085> his voice, <H6963> that he might instruct <H3256> thee: and upon earth <H0776> he shewed <H7200> thee his great <H1419> fire; <H0784> and thou heardest <H8085> his words <H1697> out of the midst <H8432> of the fire. <H0784>
37: And because he loved <H0157> thy fathers, <H0001> therefore he chose <H0977> their seed <H2233> after <H0310> them, and brought thee out <H3318> in his sight <H6440> with his mighty <H1419> power <H3581> out of Egypt; <H4714>
38: To drive out <H3423> nations <H1471> from before <H6440> thee greater <H1419> and mightier <H6099> than thou [art], to bring thee in, <H0935> to give <H5414> thee their land <H0776> [for] an inheritance, <H5159> as [it is] this day. <H3117>
39: Know <H3045> therefore this day, <H3117> and consider <H7725> [it] in thine heart, <H3824> that the LORD <H3068> he [is] God <H0430> in heaven <H8064> above, <H4605> and upon the earth <H0776> beneath: [there is] none else.
40: Thou shalt keep <H8104> therefore his statutes, <H2706> and his commandments, <H4687> which I command <H6680> thee this day, <H3117> that it may go well <H3190> with thee, and with thy children <H1121> after <H0310> thee, and that thou mayest prolong <H0748> [thy] days <H3117> upon the earth, <H0127> which the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> giveth <H5414> thee, for ever. <H3605> <H3117>
41: Then Moses <H4872> severed <H0914> three <H7969> cities <H5892> on this side <H5676> Jordan <H3383> toward the sunrising; <H8121> <H4217>
42: That the slayer <H7523> might flee <H5127> thither, which should kill <H7523> his neighbour <H7453> unawares, <H1097> <H1847> and hated <H8130> him not in times past; <H8543> <H8032> and that fleeing <H5127> unto one <H0259> of these <H0411> cities <H5892> he might live: <H2425>
43: [Namely], Bezer <H1221> in the wilderness, <H4057> in the plain <H4334> country, <H0776> of the Reubenites; <H7206> and Ramoth <H7216> in Gilead, <H1568> of the Gadites; <H1425> and Golan <H1474> in Bashan, <H1316> of the Manassites. <H4520>
44: And this [is] the law <H8451> which Moses <H4872> set <H7760> before <H6440> the children <H1121> of Israel: <H3478>
45: These [are] the testimonies, <H5713> and the statutes, <H2706> and the judgments, <H4941> which Moses <H4872> spake <H1696> unto the children <H1121> of Israel, <H3478> after they came forth <H3318> out of Egypt, <H4714>
46: On this side <H5676> Jordan, <H3383> in the valley <H1516> over against <H4136> Bethpeor, <H1047> in the land <H0776> of Sihon <H5511> king <H4428> of the Amorites, <H0567> who dwelt <H3427> at Heshbon, <H2809> whom Moses <H4872> and the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> smote, <H5221> after they were come forth <H3318> out of Egypt: <H4714>
47: And they possessed <H3423> his land, <H0776> and the land <H0776> of Og <H5747> king <H4428> of Bashan, <H1316> two <H8147> kings <H4428> of the Amorites, <H0567> which [were] on this side <H5676> Jordan <H3383> toward the sunrising; <H4217> <H8121>
48: From Aroer, <H6177> which [is] by the bank <H8193> of the river <H5158> Arnon, <H0769> even unto mount <H2022> Sion, <H7865> which [is] Hermon, <H2768>
49: And all the plain <H6160> on this side <H5676> Jordan <H3383> eastward, <H4217> even unto the sea <H3220> of the plain, <H6160> under the springs <H0794> of Pisgah. <H6449>
