¹ These are the precepts, and ceremonies, and judgments, which the Lord your God commanded that I should teach you, and that you should do them in the land into which you pass over to possess it:

² That thou mayst fear the Lord thy God, and keep all his commandments and precepts, which I command thee, and thy sons, and thy grandsons, all the days of thy life, that thy days may be prolonged.

³ Hear, O Israel, and observe to do the things which the Lord hath commanded thee, that it may be well with thee, and thou mayst be greatly multiplied, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath promised thee a land flowing with milk and honey.

⁴ Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.

⁵ Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole strength.

⁶ And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart:

⁷ And thou shalt tell them to thy children, and thou shalt meditate upon them sitting in thy house, and walking on thy journey, sleeping and rising.

⁸ And thou shalt bind them as a sign on thy hand, and they shall be and shall move between thy eyes.

⁹ And thou shalt write them in the entry, and on the doors of thy house.

¹⁰ And when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land, for which he swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: and shall have given thee great and goodly cities, which thou didst not build,

¹¹ Houses full of riches, which thou didst not set up, cisterns which thou didst not dig, vineyards and oliveyards, which thou didst not plant,

¹² And thou shalt have eaten and be full:

¹³ Take heed diligently lest thou forget the Lord, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and shalt serve him only, and thou shalt swear by his name.

¹⁴ You shall not go after the strange gods of all the nations, that are round about you:

¹⁵ Because the Lord thy God is a jealous God in the midst of thee: lest at any time the wrath of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and take thee away from the face of the earth.

¹⁶ Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God, as thou temptedst him in the place of temptation.

¹⁷ Keep the precepts of the Lord thy God, and the testimonies and ceremonies which he hath commanded thee.

¹⁸ And do that which is pleasing and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may be well with thee: and going in thou mayst possess the goodly land, concerning which the Lord swore to thy fathers,

¹⁹ That he would destroy all thy enemies before thee, as he hath spoken.

²⁰ And when thy son shall ask thee to morrow, saying: What mean these testimonies, and ceremonies and judgments, which the Lord our God hath commanded us?

²¹ Thou shalt say to him: We were bondmen of Pharao in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand.

²² And he wrought signs and wonders great and very grievous in Egypt against Pharao, and all his house, in our sight,

²³ And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in and give us the land, concerning which he swore to our fathers.

²⁴ And the Lord commanded that we should do all these ordinances, and should fear the Lord our God, that it might be well with us all the days of our life, as it is at this day.

²⁵ And he will be merciful to us, if we keep and do all his precepts before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.

¹ "You shall not spread a false report. Don't join your hand with the wicked to be a malicious witness.

² "You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; neither shall you testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice;

³ neither shall you favor a poor man in his cause.

⁴ "If you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.

⁵ If you see the donkey of him who hates you fallen down under his burden, don't leave him, you shall surely help him with it.

⁶ "You shall not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits.

⁷ "Keep far from a false charge, and don't kill the innocent and righteous: for I will not justify the wicked.

⁸ "You shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds those who have sight and perverts the words of the righteous.

⁹ "You shall not oppress an alien, for you know the heart of an alien, since you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

¹⁰ "For six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in its increase,

¹¹ but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the animal of the field shall eat. In the same way, you shall deal with your vineyard and with your olive grove.

¹² "Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your handmaid, and the alien may be refreshed.

¹³ "Be careful to do all things that I have said to you; and don't invoke the name of other gods, neither let them be heard out of your mouth.

¹⁴ "You shall observe a feast to me three times a year.

¹⁵ You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out from Egypt), and no one shall appear before me empty.

¹⁶ And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you sow in the field: and the feast of harvest, at the end of the year, when you gather in your labors out of the field.

¹⁷ Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁸ "You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread, neither shall the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning.

¹⁹ The first of the first fruits of your ground you shall bring into the house of Yahweh your God. "You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.

²⁰ "Behold, I send an angel before you, to keep you by the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.

²¹ Pay attention to him, and listen to his voice. Don't provoke him, for he will not pardon your disobedience, for my name is in him.

²² But if you indeed listen to his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.

²³ For my angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I will cut them off.

²⁴ You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor follow their practices, but you shall utterly overthrow them and demolish their pillars.

²⁵ You shall serve Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from your midst.

²⁶ No one will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.

²⁷ I will send my terror before you, and will confuse all the people to whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.

²⁸ I will send the hornet before you, which will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before you.

²⁹ I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the animals of the field multiply against you.

³⁰ Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and inherit the land.

³¹ I will set your border from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.

³² You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

³³ They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me, for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you."
